I'm all set up at Geek Craft Expo for the holiday market this weekend! The market is chock full of local small handmade businesses and artists, all with some fun geeky/nerdy bent!

I'm so happy that "Styx and Stones" is finally done! She was a deeply personal piece for me to create and though she came from a dark place, she needed to be out of my head and put into the world. Take a closer look at some of the details! So. Many. Skulls. ☠️

Since the aurora borealis will be dancing across the skies tonight (and some last night too), let's take a moment to celebrate this stunning natural phenomenon with some art featuring it! . "The Avarosan Vision" (2018 commission)

Oh look! I made some snowflake ornaments for this holiday season! ❄️They look so beautifully delicate and the vellum looks gorgeous with the lights shining through! . These laser cut edition snowflakes are now available! I will also have them at my booth for Seattle Geek Craft Expo Holiday Market!

Here's a throwback to "Wyrm's Rest"! I wish I could offer this and other 8x10" pieces as laser cut editions, but I haven't been able to find a reliable source for frames in that size that are deep enough. . "Wyrm's Rest" (2016)

Jeff Doyle is our next guest artist for November-December! Jeff is a PNW landscape photographer and the images he captures are absolutely breathtaking and dreamy! We will be hosting an Opening Reception this Saturday, November 8th from 1-7pm in conjunction with Georgetown Art Attack. It's worth it!

Some calm and a place to take solace. Sometimes you just need a walk in the woods to find something magical. . "By the Brook" (2021)

I'm feel like sharing a throwback today. . "Beast of No Nation" (2022) 8x8" Oneiroframe Commission

I made a little reveal video showing off some of the details and sheer scale of "Doomfish"! I'm still very proud of how this piece turned out. What do you think? . #badgerburrowstudios #paperart #oarfish #oarfishdaily

Stop by the studio this Saturday! Georgetown Art Attack and the soft closing reception for my current guest artist, Sophie Yun Lee will be happening from 1-7pm on 10/11. Check out gorgeous artwork, explore, chat with artists, and see where the magic happens! (With some tasty light refreshments 😜)

The real world feels way too scary right now on its own, so let's keep breaking up the feed with more art. This time with a spooky season vibe. . "Exposed" (2022) 8x10" Oneiroframe

The first three main layers of this deeply personal and dark piece are completed. I've had a lot of feelings leading up to and during the creation process. There are 6 more layers to go before assembly, not including a number of sub-layers, so I'll be sitting with this piece for a while longer yet.😅

Let's put some more art out into the world and folks' feeds with another throwback to one of my literature inspired pieces. This one is based on "Le Petit Prince". I, too, feel like I just want to fly away from the current world at times. Do you have any comfort stories you keep going back to?

Throwback to "The Old Ways". This was my first large format piece at 18x24". I would love the chance to explore a mangrove forest at some point. The contrast between warm and cool colors in the lights is also wonderfully striking. . "The Old Ways" (2016) Commissioned Piece

I'm working on the third main layer of this piece and it's proving to be rather complex with some additional direct layering work. Just look at the tiny details in the skulls! I did this to me. 😅

Skullz. 💀 Lots of 'em for the new piece I've been working on.

Trying to drown out the constant bombardment on our mental psyches with beautiful art. It's not much, but I hope it brings some peace and a break from *gestures to everything*👐 . "The Steeds that Carry the Waves to Shore" 11x14" (2020 Commissioned Oneiroframe)

Georgetown Art Attack and Opening Reception for @SophieYunLee are on Saturday. The studio will be open from 1-7pm and there are lots of other places to check out and explore in the neighborhood, so come on out and explore!

When things feel topsy turvy, I do my best to hold on to something solid to help ground myself, be it something physical, a goal, or principal. . "Fishing in the Cloud Sea" 8x10" Oneiroframe (2024)

Throwback to 2017 when I was playing around with a kelp forest mermaid! I love how my previous studies in ecology, environmentalism, and natural resource management has influenced my work. . "Reflection" (2017) 6x14" Oneiroframe

We just installed @SophieYunLee 's work in the studio yesterday and will be hosting an opening reception for her work next Saturday, September 13th from 1-7pm. Light refreshments will be provided and Sophie will be in the studio to hang out and chat with you all from 1:30-4:30pm!

The last three gold foil prints of the Mythological Equine series (Hippocampus, Kelpie, and Thunder Horse) are finally done! Individual prints and full sets of the series are available! It took so long and a ton of work documenting and editing, but I'm so happy and proud that it is finally complete.

Speechless and A Glorious Dawn will be on display at The Fishbowl gallery in Seattle for their September group show, Ephemerality! I adore how these two pieces are especially transformative depending on the lighting conditions. I feel so honored to be a part of the show.

I've been making and restocking laser cut editions recently, and Maggie has been a delightful little helper!

OMG! Roots won Judges' Choice Best in Show at Seattle World Con this last week! I'm absolutely floored and so grateful to everyone for all of your love and support. The Art Show was jam packed with absolutely incredible artists, and I feel so honored that I got to show my work alongside them.

Take a peek at *some* of the insane details in "Doomfish"! This piece took me about 2.5months of work to finally complete and I love how it turned out! These lines were all so thin!

It's FINALLY DONE! "Doomfish" 14x28" Hand cut layered paper with 24K shell gold embellishment . #oarfish

Georgetown Art Attack is this Saturday, August 9th. Come on down and explore the studio and a neighborhood chock full of creatives! . My studio will be open from 1-7pm and featuring our current guest artist, Caroline Elsner, through the end of the month.

The gold edging for the Oarfish is finally, finally done! *Collapses* Next steps are background embellishment and burnishing for that beautiful shine! ✨

People at shows ask about my apparent patience, but it's funny because I'm not actually that patient! I just power through with sheer determination to finish whatever project I'm working on! It gets frustrating, but for now, I'm going to channel "Stillness" and just keep chipping away at my oarfish.

The UV view of "A Glorious Dawn" is included in Color Shifts: A Virtual Exhibition! If you are at all interested in color's role in science, design, and communication, it's a great exhibition. Virtual Exhibition: issuu.com/colorshowisc... Youtube Video Statements: shorturl.at/g2IXa

I've been gilding edges on the Oarfish all week! I'm still nowhere near done. It's a slow, grueling process that relies on extreme precision, but the result is *chef's kiss"! 😘

I have a number of sketches just waiting in the wings once the Oarfish piece is finally finished!

I'm so happy to welcome Caroline Elsner (@scare_o_line) to the studio as my guest artist for July-August! I adore her artwork and dark fantasy inspiration. Feel free to stop by during my regular open hours and the August 9th art walk to see her work in person!

The shell gold gilding process of the Oarfish has begun! There are so many details and fine lines. It's going to take forever to complete, but I think it will be gorgeous when it's done!

As I head off to Egypt with Ian for the next 10 days to visit family that we haven't seen for 17 years, I'm happy to say that the Oarfish is completely cut out! I've since been chipping away at embellishing all of the hand cut edges with the shell gold I started preparing last week. Wish me luck! 😅

The Oarfish is proving to be a BEAST to cut out, but it's looking so cool! This is the back side, so you can see the remaining sketch that still needs to be cut.

I just put together an 8x10" version of my hand painted phoenix watercolor for a local organization's fundraiser auction. I'm loving the rainbow and I further embellished it with shimmery watercolors as well!

I've been working on the sketch for my next 2D black, white, and gold piece! This one is going to be BIG and depicting the elusive Oarfish! The final dimension of this piece will be a whopping 14x28"! I did this to me...😅 I'll be working on it in the studio today while it's open from 1-7pm!

The June Georgetown Art Attack art walk AND Georgetown Carnival are happening this Saturday, June 14th! Airport Way will be closed for Carnival and there is so much to explore with these free community events! My studio will be open from 1-7pm and is featuring local guest artist, Josh Harriman.

Loving the tiny details in Völva Vargaldar! I wanted the wolf pack to feel kind of spectral and I think the layers of vellum definitely helped to give that effect.
