Heya, I'm August! I'm a science and art educator based out of BOS, and a freelance dragon artist! 🌱🌈
I'm an entomologist 🐛 and I dabble in a lot of mixed media, primarily sculpture, printmaking, and digital illustration! 🐉🖤

reposting from tumblr but let 2026 be the year I never have to see another makeship plushie or enamel pin kickstarter from an artist I used to admire again. hold artists to higher standards & do not exploit underpaid factory workers in the global south. just because you can doesn't mean you should!
