Having fun with a new photo prop! Couldn’t leave this skull planter behind after he was the last one on discount. I’ll find any excuse to buy weird junk if I think it could be a good bit of set dressing for art flat lays. 👀

Hey artists! Post some art you made from before Bluesky! Here's a dark fairy drawing from a few years ago that I still really like. The original drawing exists somewhere in the front matter of someone's ltd. edition gold foil Birthstone Goddesses coloring book. May she guard your home from moths!

A Wheel for the Birthstone Goddesses! This series pushed me to explore so many palettes I wouldn't have explored on my own, as I naturally tend towards purples and reds. I got to explore a whole world of greens thanks to Emerald, Peridot, & Aquamarine birthstones. #thecolorwheel #the_color_wheel
