personhood as a means to an end

put off embroidering the hood until I have 2 weeks before the ren faire... now there's one week left and I'm only just getting started 😅 oops

More bug photos from today's lovely weather :]

Took a lot of bug photos today while out on a walk/testing a cpl lens on my camera (continued effort to try and solve glare/haze issues without replacing my 15 yr old camera... cause a $1500+ expense isn't in the budget)

workin' on some wallet tooling patterns to replace the crappy 10 year old wallet of mine that's falling apart. Gonna do some tests this weekend with the tools I have and see how feasible the detail is.

Been wanting to take this picture since I got this tattoo! Finally came across one of our annual cicadas who was exceptionally chill.

Arachne Digital painting

Found a sweet little stray (definitely used to be a pet :-( )♥

Oreo cookie's n cream cake for a friend's birthday today! :-)

you, the severed half of you that you are sworn to end, the woman it told you not to worry about,

Finished embroidering the coin pouch for my tattoo artist! I made hers just a bit larger than mine, so she can fit a larger phone/wallet in there as needed.

A painted sketch of the coolest rat I know. Oswald my beloved. Such a sick design. Art fight revenge for @baronboar.bsky.social

Beetle strawberry shortcake for my friend Charlie :-)

Made an ocean focaccia for my friend's bday instead of a cake :-) my first ever focaccia!

Making a coin pouch for my tattoo artist :-) hoping to have it finished in the next weekend or two. Not sure how to deal with the wrinkly look of the wool... The stuff I used for mine originally was about twice as thick so it didn't act like this 🤔

After a While 🐊

Saw a few garter snakes yesterday, managed to get photos of one! :-) didn't get photos of it eventually swimming away but they're pretty quick swimmers too.

No art but I did go to a big beautiful rock sale up north today in the hopes of finding lapidary equipment for sale (twas sadly out of my price range). Did see some incredible rocks!

Antique mall finds from yesterday. I sure do love a misshapen rack :-)

We're So Back

Went hiking on Saturday to a very quiet tucked away county park. Found some pretty agates! Looking forward to going back when the creek levels drop a bit.

other scraps also

DeKay's Brown snake I saw (and relocated off the bike path) out on my accidental 10mi hike today :-) cute teeny tiny little fella (only about 9 inches, and definitely an adult!)

Finished the snake shading on my left sleeve yesterday :-) red as fuck today, but excited for it to heal up!

=𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕞𝕒𝕟= A bizarre, birdlike beast whose body possesses features of various prey animals and uses these features to lure in predators to hunt

Need some good rains for the better of the agate finds to start popping up, but found some lovely agates last week out on the rivers! :-)

The Hunter's Funeral Procession

Painting night 🎨 (probably coulda taken it further but I'm just calling it for the evening)

homecoming

helm and lettering study just cause :^)

all I have to offer for the week is a half finished suggestive sketch 🫶 stuck deciding on the armors tbh

A lil guy from 2020

premature death

god is a giant bear and he is very hungry

Birthday lunch of champions (sausage roll, pasty, fresh lemon tart) :-)

Trotting this out again for #WorldWildlifeDay. Thirty Animals, each drawn at 1" square. Pencil on marker paper, 2018.

Dressing in steel

timothee chalamet is now a wooden spoon I guess (2024)

I wonder if there are other colors of chip board. I would love to work on maroon or Olive colored chipboard with some colored opaque inks/paint pens.... 😩

Finished the cardboard drawing of my oc's :-)

Scrap cardboard from between the layers of the cat food cans my beloved 🙏(just a wip doodle I'm trying to ink)

this week I'm learning don't put 'game artist' in ur bio on a dating app unless the only thing u wish to talk about is video games. Seems obvious I guess even though everything else in there including pics was about my love for not being in my desk chair all day and getting in the river muck.

open to offers on this design :>

haha woah.... hello!! o/ ♥ glad to see so much love for my new oc!
