The devaluing and crushing of art and artists has created the perfect environment for dehumanization, corporate control, a culture of self-service and transactional behavior, and has undermined our ability to imagine a better future than our present. It’s hard to overstate how devastating it’s been

When wondering about what we would do with all the $ that rich people have, we see it as our current struggling selves winning the lottery. Rich people build their wealth off the working class, exploiting others for their own gain. This is not the type of person that drops money on the common good.

Preorders in my shop are temporarily paused until I get caught up with my backlog. If you want to support me in the meantime, I have a handful of ready-to-ship items in my shop. You can also join my Patreon/Ko-Fi for as low as $2/mo or send a one time tip. Lnk.bio/verdantsculpts

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

It’s my birthday this month!! A fun present to me would be some extra boosts and sales from my new pinned! I’m Sel, a transmasc in Florida who likes making plushies! #plush #plushies #transmasc #Pride2025 selsewscreatures.etsy.com ko-fi.com/selamander90...

No one is free until we are all free! #resist

hi despite it all i still make little guys

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Will make a drawing of this guy and sell it as a design + sculpture adopt! Stay tuned if you're interested 🥺

Hubris will not be my downfall! LINEWORK FOR THE BIG PIECE IS DONE! REJOICE!

Part of the reason the cruelty we're living in is so bold & transparent is that it's tied to the fragile egos of it's perpetrators. They make a spectacle of standing on the necks of the vulnerable in desperate hope of feeling tall. Letting them have just 'just a few' necks will never be a solution

For no particular reason I'm going to post a recommendation for my favorite "learning to be a witch" story, Witch Hat Atelier! Gorgeous art, actually well-thought-out rules to how magic works, and gay characters!

Always and forever...

Once again I remind people that laws should not be your guiding heuristic on how you view or treat others. Laws are built on the biased and often bigoted sensibilities of the powerful. Empathy and basic decency (as defined in a way not dependent on anyone's legal status) are a better foundation.

oh dang a lot of folks seemed to enjoy the peeklings thank you all so much for the support ;v; peeko took my phone to say thanks as well #peekoposting

Whoa! Those are some CRITTERS!

peeko and the peeklings #peekoposting #art #sculpture #creatures

Do not post photos of protesters' faces. Do not post photos of protesters' faces. Do not post photos of protesters' faces.

Wear a mask to ALL protests. Don’t shit on people for not attending protests. Don’t shit on people for not posting about their activism. Be prepared for escalation even at a “peaceful” protest. Remember you are up against fascists who don’t play by the rules. And NEVER talk to the cops.

New method

Also, please memorize this: "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." That, "am I free to leave?", and identifying yourself in stop-and-ID states are the only things you should ever say to police. Ever.

Seahorse 10x 5.5 acacia wood tray. Good for holding knick knacks or rolling DnD dice. This tray is up for sale! DM me if you're interested

Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

Fun piece ♡

this is not an april fool's joke! my spooky bookshelf print is back in stock! ✨💀💜 www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Agreed, and the more we amplify what Booker is doing, the more we make it matter, in public perception and as an example to other elected officials. On the other hand, the more we disparage and tear it down, the more we make it not matter. It's not all up to him.

One of my fav of the deer we did for FE; doberdeer. We need to do one more soon so I can get proper shots for the website beastiary; maybe a blue dobie? #art #artdoll #deer #furryart #canartist #handmade

I tried making some garden eels for my first post-cast sculpture. I don't know, something about them isn't right. Any ideas?
