Experiment With A Circular Canvas. Birds Are Still Hard To Draw And Yet So So Satisfying.

A long-haired woman in a dress stands backlit by a yellow moon. She grips the neck of an eastern bluebird in her mouth, and her lips are as red as its blood that trickles out of the corner of her mouth. Her eyes are dark blue and neutral beneath red eyebrows. Her long hair billows out behind her and goes from red at the ends to purple to dark blue. Her dress's chest is bright orange like a blue birds' then shifts to red then purple then dark blue at the waist. The dress's arms are light blue like blue bird feathers at the top and then transition to dark blue. The crescent moon hangs with the dark part down towards her head and stays behind her like a halo. The sky is yellow around her waist, pink near the bottom of her chest, and then finally dark purple. Small lavender stars are scattered across it. Black raspberries are suspended from  green vines with mauve thorns that frame the scene. The bottom of the frame is green serrated leaves. Two bluebirds fly on either side of the front of the bird eater.

Experiment with a circular canvas. Birds are still hard to draw and yet so so satisfying.

A Little Raeda To Tide You Through The Hiatus. 

A little raeda to tide you through the hiatus. 

Image Id: Eda in harpy form bridal carries Raine Whispers in the sky. Eda’s wings are spread out behind her. Raine and Eda are kissing. Raine holds Eda’s face with one hand and the other rests in their lap. Behind them is a sunset that goes from purple to pink to orange to gold. The purple is studded with lavender stars. Yellow, purple, and peach clouds fill the sky behind them.

A Portrait Of A Dear Friend. 

A portrait of a dear friend. 

Image ID: A dark skinned boy with bright red hair playing a bone flute. He wears a golden circlet with a braid pattern and matching gold bracelets. He has a green shirt with gold stitching on the sleeve ends and the collar. The stitches make x’s. A goldfinch covers his eyes. Two more fly around him. A full moon casts purple light in the background. A scattering of stars surround the moon. The sky transitions to purple at the top of the canvas to gold at the bottom.

A young girl stands in a green field holding up a lantern. Her brown cat ears are pinned back against her spiky, shoulder length brown hair. A purple cloak wraps her shoulders and its end billows just above her knees. Her brown pants are rolled up above brown boots with black soles. Her long-sleeved shirt is green with gold x's embroidered at the wrists. Rising above the pines in front of her is a large dark blue cat with black ear tufts and white fur in her ears. Her eyes are two yellow moons. Her nose is black. A large star marks her forehead, and smaller stars stud her whole coat. The moon hangs between her ears in the dusk sky. Two dark green pines in the foreground frame the scene.

This is the story of a little girl looking for the mother she has never known. The story of a world of gods and a world of men, and the child caught between them. Zine coming soon.

A Water Color Snail. They Are A Cuban Painted Snail. Their Name Is Sheldrake. Might Make Some Snails

A water color snail. They are a Cuban painted snail. Their name is Sheldrake. Might make some snails for sale if they become popular. 

Image Id: A snail on a light, warm gray background. The snail’s head has two gray eyestalks and one small gray tentacles. The head is red on top, orange in the middle, and yellow on the bottom. The center of the spiral is white. As it moves out it becomes yellow, then green, then white again. Then it shifts to dark brown, to brown and orange and finally to red and yellow.

A pink and purple snail with a pumpkin leaf in his mouth crawling on a dark purple background. His shell is replaced with a lit jack o lantern with triangle eyes and nose and a spiky mouth. A weathered paper banner above him says "HAPPY" in red all caps and one below him says "HALLOWEEN"

He's a little slow, but he made it here eventually. He wishes you all a happy belated halloween!

A top down view of a honey bee. Its wings have a honey comb pattern and each row is a color of the pride flag in this order: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple plus light pink and blue.

When sad, draw queer bee. We are all connected like honeycomb cells.

A woman lies on her stomach on a bed with lavender sheets and pillows facing towards the camera.  Her tank top and sweatpants are sage green. Her long black hair falls over her left shoulder. A speckling of black ink dots both shoulders, and her one visible hand is stained with ink. She looks serene as she eats a page that hangs from her mouth and stains her lips with ink. A sage green book, open and with half its pages missing, lies before her. Three books( sage green, light green, and gray brown) lie in the bottom right corner, all their pages torn out. On the left side of the image is a bookcase with books in the same colors as the ones on their bed, all their pages torn out. The wall behind the woman is light blue.

She's having a good time, learning a lot, and trying to satisfy the endless hunger.
