Flying Squirrel Art

My wonderful, talented friend Steph responded with a link to my Jimmy Swinnerton post, informing me of a site dedicated entirely to flying squirrel art.

It made my day that this site exists (I suppose my day can get made quiet easily). As Steph put it, “We only have a limited amount of time in this world, and some people dedicate it to flying squirrels.”

The cuteness…oh dear…the cuteness! I can just hear him going “weeeeeeeeeee!”

The site contains links to original art, scientific and anatomy drawings and paintings of flying squirrels from North America from colonial times through 2002. Some of them are even from the webmaster’s personal collection (how great is that? A flying squirrel collection!).

Aw, a little desk helper:

Some are rather…strange…like this “found object” piece:

Clearly, the following narrative illustration ends with the squirrel flying blissfully to safety and living happily ever after. Please don’t argue with me on this.

  1. We had a mother flying squirrel fall down our chimney when I was in high school. It then had 3 babies and my brother built a huge cage for them. There was a hole in the cage for them to come and go as they pleased and after about 6 months they were never seen again.

    I have to say they were freakin awesome!
