I've got farmer's market this weekend and it's Watermelon Fest. One of the possums will be a little watermelon dude. Vine Street Market in O'Fallon IL if you're in the area.

Two sketches of animals. One is a quirky raccoon looking curious, the other is a baby possum with watermelon leaves.

Did you know I have two spots at the moment for art in the mail? This month's theme is DRAGONS. Not sure about September yet. October is Halloween. I've got a bunch of different tiers. I'm thinking wiggly noodle dragons like below. Other tiers too, Branches just has a cap :) patreon.com/fallenlights

ad for patreon. tier called The Branches for twenty dollars a sketch gets mailed once a month, plus other little things like small prints or stickers.

The sketches on either side are of long wiggly dragons with flowy fines. They have pointy noses.

I've been a smidge too busy to pretend I know how to take NICE photos, but yesterday I framed a whole stack of new stuff for GeekCraft Expo (July 25th-26th Webster Uni, Grant gym St. Louis) and #GenCon (booth 1356! Come say hi!) One day I'll prep better, maybe. Probably not.

a stack of different art that's framed, leaning on a white wall. A purple and pink raven flying, a green and gray dismal landscape, a possum. Behind it is other art.The art that was behind the other frames, leaning on a white wall. A green deer in a pink landscape, a quiet owl lady in yellow and green, and a cute raccoon standing up.
