If you'd like to buy a drawing of a particular species from me, but you don't see it in my shop, please ask if I have it.
I have dozens of drawings in my filing cabinet, most of them are part of various large commissions
(I usually draw species separately and combine them on my computer when designing the final artwork, together with the text, if required),
so there's always a chance I might have exactly what you need :)

Upside-down drawing of the Bulmer’s Fruit Bat

August 23, 2020

I'm just wondering – if you are in a bats school and you ask a bat a question, should they raise their hands up or down? ;)

Very little is known about the elusive Bulmer’s Fruit Bat. Discovered by Sue Bulmer only in 1960 as c. 10,000 years old remains, this species was regarded as extinct, until the very first registered sighting of them in 1980. It is believed only a hundred or so of Bulmer’s Fruit Bats still exist in their natural habitat – Papua New Guinea’s caves that are 1.8-2km above the ground.

This is my wildlife drawing of this rare bat, based on a reference photo by Tim Flannery.
