Festival Fuckup, 2025 For @ascalaphid.com's #feastphone2025 art telephone in which I got to captain for the legendary Team Chartreuserie

Really handsome male chalcidid from SoCal. Tentatively IDed as Conura sanguiniventris

A late post for #artfight but one of my absolute favorites of the year! I love the merry monastery menagerie of @ascalaphid.com ! Featuring Brother Gregor the gator, Brother Mo the wooly bear caterpillar, and Brother Shrewblin the shrew all returning after a morning's fishing trip!

I got so many...

Got some lovely stickers from @ascalaphid.com Thank you, love these fellows and have them clipped on my whiteboard/study session area for good vibes

watching The Name of the Rose and studying it like the zapruder film for ways to draw monk robes better

extra goofy looking scarabaeid from a south TX sample. big fan of the weird scoop face. Podolasia ferruginea, probably

Brother Gregor's famous fish stew collab with my buddy eisly

holy moly

it took me over a year and hundreds of weirdly colored sticker sheets before I finally found the Fucked Up Colors setting 4 menus deep that you need to turn off if you don't want stickers with fucked up colors. this is a primary reason I have thousands of misprints I'm always trying to offload

40% off sale on all my stickers because I was up until 1AM revamping my shop. discount code is PEPO ko-fi.com/ascalaphid/l...

shouldn't post him, but

one thing I love about older scientific literature. in his 1947 paper 'Scale adaptation and utilization in Aesiocopa patulana' William Beebe fucked with a caterpillar in the wrong way and it died and he expressed genuine and poetic contrition about it in the paper itself

brother herbert wheeling his bigass cabbage around the abbey like a newborn baby

of the many mysteries of the holy order of the mycangium one of the most hotly debated is how they can make such exquisite cheeses with those stupid little beetle hands

Brother Herbert at it again with the weird gourds

as much as I love them one thing I always disliked about the Redwall books was the designation of certain species as constitutionally evil. I think rats and weasels should be friends with mice and shrews

hands you some bugs

Weevil wizard for @ascalaphid.com Graham Jones also for @gordonbleu89.bsky.social And finally Nemesis for @vertigodude.bsky.social

Snow Trail (1947) is rightfully remembered as the debut film of world's sexiest man ever Toshiro Mifune but I really don't think it can be underscored enough how insanely good Takashi Shimura is in it as well

had to stop the car to scoop this massive trundler off the road and out of danger

a colleague conducted an insect survey in south TX that ended up with a bunch of cool native bees as by-catch, which were then sent to me for identification. of course only after struggling through the whole pile did I discover that there's a brand new lushly photographed guide to exactly this topic

it's probably readily apparent by now but literally my entire conception of what goes on in a monastery comes from redwall books and eduard von grutzner paintings and nothing else
