This tiny paper moth is actually a big step for me in getting out of a bad place mentally and physically. So fitting it be for the paper art version of “Do Not Let The Horrors Transfix You” #artsky #paperart #bugsky #mementomori www.beastieandbone.com/gift-shop/p/...

If you love an artist’s work, do not trace it and pass it off as your own work. If you love an artist’s work, do not print it out from photos you took off their website and replicate it in the exact way they make it. That is not love it is art theft.

Well, I guess I made it. Found out in one day, one of my biggest and most personally special originals was stolen/copied four times. I knew it would happen eventually with AI slop listings, but the artists copying it exactly was a punch to the stomach.

Silly dodo stickers have finally arrived, so October’s Patreon/Happy Mail Club rewards are going out now!

It’s Election Day! Please go vote! TN friends and neighbors, you can check your registration, look up your polling location, and even preview the ballot at govote.tnsos.gov

More paper art play! Am making a whole series of these at this point.

Unfortunately, my decade-old iPad is in a death spiral, and as a result, I am behind on a number of projects. Patreon and Happy Mail rewards for October likely will be delayed and won’t go out until maybe the second week of November. I do apologize for this!

Dakota Fever Dream We passed the badlands around 3am, heatwave still on our heels. Opalescent halo around the moon, scent of sun-dry grass below. Starshine and eyeshine mirrored each other, and somewhere between the two was us. — New print coming soon! #illustration #skull #vultureculture

Remembering there will always be more to learn, and perfection is unattainable, these days. #paleoart #sciart #paleontology #illustration #fossil #megafauna #hopecore #blackworkillustration #illustration

Dead critters aren't grim. They're the history of our whole planet and our shared history. We are all making our way on this planet in times of extinction, and that is REMARKABLE to me. #paleoart #sciart #mementomori #vulturculture #illustration #fossil #hopecore #paleontology

Listening to Holst’s The Planets suite while stargazing and then having the largest, brightest shooting star I’ve ever seen happen right at a crescendo is a soul-shifting experience.
