Bird boys gathering. This can’t be good.

Blood tainted in curse, imprisoned the innocent, and tethered them to wander beneath shadow and crown. Such a lonely life to behold, such a heavy burden to carry. A friend, a foe, a curious eye, a kind hand, a kind word. All welcome, but none brave enough to go near web and fangs.

Long legged spider boys. 🕷️ Their little legs move about. And the fact that they feel as though they’re hugging your hand when you hold them was just a fantastic bit I did not plan. 🥺

The devilish, bird boy currently on the chopping block.

Sharing a bit of progress while I stitch and fold and cut and sculpt tiny mushroom folk for my upcoming vending events. Meet one of the Ascaria, a rambunctious creature filled with as much charming disposition as it is curious. #ooak #puppet #darkart #cottagecore #fantasy #textileart

And my tiny Gorcha marionette from The Vourdalak is now complete. I love this film so much. 🥺🖤 #puppet #marionette #puppeteer #ooak #darkart #art #thevourdalak #vourdalak #vampire #cryptid

A wip of the current puppet on the slab. Everyone’s favorite @55hole, Bloodborne’s Patches the Spider.

Absolute 🔥!!!

My mom pointed out that I’m basically just making tinier versions of myself and dammit I am starting to believe her.

A little patch of mushrooms traveling thru. . . . [ #puppetswithteeth #ooak #handmade #textileart #art #darkart #darkartist #sculpture #mixedmedia #polymerclay #cottagecore #fantasy #fantasyart #mushroom #beautifulbizarre #gothic #gothicart ]

So many new faces to create, so many personalities unfolding right before my eyes, so many stories to whisper. Also. Now that I remembered paint markers are a thing, I'm going to be making so many patterns on cloth for this regal bunch. . . . [ #puppeteer #puppet #wip #ooak #art #sculptor #gothic ]

With my favorite worm boy?! Hell yeah!!!

Yessssssss! This is what we really wanted. 😭

A drawing of the previously posted Baphomet star pendant from last year.....

Hello, little beauties.

Just a little chicken hut finding solitude amongst the foliage. [ #babyaga #babayagahut #chickenhiuse #ooak #miniature #slavicfolklore #witchhut ]

Baby just got her first resin printer. And. It’s. SO. TINY. 😩

The thrift store finds are a-plenty.

Sweet faces that stare up into the night sea, counting far off diamonds that swirl into tales of how things used to be. [ #monster #darkart #ooak #sculpture #art #twoheadsarebetterthanone ]

The beginnings of my little, Lovecraftian fishing village named Roanoke. [ #oldgods #miniature #darkart #art #wip ]

Ching Yeh is here, give this legend a follow!

A quick update on the old man’s coat. I still need to dye it a dusty brown using sunflower seeds. Experiment time! Then the fur will be added and lastly his scarf. He absolutely has been my favorite puppet to make. [ #thevourdalak #vampire #puppet #marionette #filmsky ]

He whispers of omens and fortunes and falls. Like the great tumble of Babylon, of ancient empires, of those before and after, all mere ashes at his feet and a cold heart under his still breast. [ #marionette #puppet #monster #darkart #art ]

One of my favorite things to #sculpt are hands. Hands tell such an important story. They help create a character, help to enhance it, be they human or beast or other. This one is for a #Nosferatu #CountOrlok marionette I’ll be making slowly on the side.

This is tremendous. 🤩

Overdue for an update on this delightful young man, and here he is in all his undead, nightgown glory. Good. Lord. For someone who doesn't sew(or can't quite grasp the concept of a pattern) I think I did okay. His coat and scarf are next! [ #vourdalak #thevourdalak #vampire #puppet #art #darkart ]

🥺 Absolutely thrilled. 🖤

David Bowie 'Blackstar' drawings.......

You are a ray of sunshine in a cold, shadowed wood. Exploring with a curious nature that fades into sweet and kind, but one must always keep those pointed teeth of yours in mind. [ #babayaga #cottagecore #ooak #art #darkart #miniature ]

More musings from the Deity series I’ve been noodling on. Close ups in the comments.

Coming back to work after the weekend.

Showing my students some medieval pottery from Yemen at the ROM today, including this one with a cat's paw impression in it! #MedievalSky #Archaeology #ArchaeologyOfStuff 🏺

I adore the movie #TheVourdalak and I wanted to write a love letter to it so I started on a tiny #marionette of my favorite #puppet.

Something lovely for the weekend! Ancient Egyptian gold headband decorated with heads of gazelles and a stag between stars or flowers. Second Intermediate period, Dynasty 15, c. 1648–1540 BC. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Archaeology

Playing with paper and light and transforming such fragile creatures. Oh, how I adore #shadowpuppetry.

The lovely stages of weathering #miniature, cathedral windows.

3 of 4! Cardboard #Oni #mask I made when I had too many cardboard boxes filling up my garage.

Scuttling across to another social media site with @philtippett.bsky.social. What would you like to see from us here? #StopMotion #VisualEffects

My cardboard Oni mask 2 of 4.

Can I just share some cardboard Oni masks I had made? I had a lot of cardboard and hot glue and Borderlands 2 when making them. 1 of 4.

"Blind Love" This was done for the cover of the October 1999 issue of Cthulhusex Magazine, and remains an distillation of everything I was into at the time. It found new life when it was featured on the Coilhouse blog in '07. It was my way of introducing Courtney as a character.

Working on a new logooooo while watching The Void for some punting inspo.

Still obsessed with my studio space and all its glowy light deliciousness.
