The Meg 2 is just silly. Chomp chomp.

I just like sculpting little guys. This little guy is called a Grem. Grems live in the garden and pull weeds in exchange for home-brewed ale.

the icon || the artist || the work I've been sculpting a lot, but painting is coming back with a vengeance this month. In the next week or so there is going to be a wonderful and giant announcement about the Woolbeasts 💖

Someone is going to paint something very cute this week

May I offer you a soothing lump of clay? I share how and why these lil' guys are made over at my Patreon. Some folks have been with me there for 10 YEARS! Their support makes all the lil' guys possible. 💖 Thank you. Treehouse memberships start at just $3: Patreon.com/posts/just-lil-guy-154632021

"Brunch with Baba Yaga" (she's got a tiny bloody mary) (bees always have all the hot gossip) #fantasyart #illustration #babayaga #witchart

All these beasts are so good!

My contribution to the Godzilla vs. Chicago II show organized by Seventh Corner Gallery, are a limited quantity of plush costumed pug sets.

Big Bad Finley. I had so much fun painting her and contributing to her character design! (Sorry to anyone else who then also had to paint that siren bone guitar) She's in @hitpointpress.bsky.social new book which has two days left on its kickstarter. Thanks to AD Brian Walters!

Drive away the bad luck that plagues you! Now's the time for good fortune and strange ritualistic items! It is officially time again, for WITCH CAKES. www.crwnstudios.com/collections/...

I'm a professional artist.

In the Chicago area? I know weather is crap today but it would mean the world to me if people stopped by Stacy's book launch at GOBLIN MARKET 6-8pm: maps.app.goo.gl/6zHhXj3eo8PQ... I remember my first overseas signing got rained out in London: No one came and, though I laughed it off, it felt awful

I'm excited to build a show around the Garden, and explore what's growing in that soil. I imagine there will be old friends, but also surprises.

I just got my kickstarter copt of Shackling - tales from Baba Yaga’s Garden by @melissasuestanley.bsky.social - OMG it’s so awesome.

Clearly when I posted this morning I had no idea it was going to be 78deg in Chicago today. 🤣

In one year I have a solo show - which feels forever away, but also will be here before I know it. Planning and scheming, and looking back at Woolbeasts past. I think the whole thing will explore the Treehouse Garden, and the strange things that are grown there and live there.

I'm ready for the Smarch weather to end so I can feel toasty at the beach and paint in the sun again. Lousy Smarch weather.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo! Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!

It's a children's book written by a vile, monstrous person. Why are adults still making excuses to keep it in their lives in any capacity? JFC throw out your copy and go read literally anything else, or do anything else, or at least - for the love of god - stop talking about 'how important it was'.

I don't want a Hobbit movie. I want a Hobbit SITCOM. I want five seasons of "Sam and Rose have PTA meetings" and "Fatty Bolger's bbq is this weekend and it gets wacky!" and "Pippin's wife sure is something aint she". Cozy. Hobbit. Sitcom.

Keep getting mad thinking about this crap. AI really is nothing more than demanding the surrender or your brain to a corporation and then renting the use of it from them.

When @terriwindling.bsky.social asks you if you want to write flash fiction based on Brian Froud's art, you say yes. So excited to be part of this amazing book, Brian Froud's Green Women! www.abramsbooks.com/product/bria... Out in October, preorder now!

I have taken the last two acetaminophen that were in the giant bottle that you were saving for whatever calamity the week will bring. Forgive me. I am tired and everything hurts.

This is always my go-to vibe/mood/quote/gif for Fridays. Incidentally, I've been so unwell all winter, and especially this week, that this is also what I look like now.
