Im a sculptor living in St Louis. I use a lot of cardboard and other under appreciated materials to create taxidermy style art pieces. You can find my work at Houska Gallery here in STL or contact me directly for current available pieces or commissions.

Look at this cloud! Lenticular?

#cloud
Cool cloud formation ahead of the cold weather moving in. I think it’s a lenticular cloud.

Walked through forest park and up to the sculpture garden. Found some fungus, Heracles and a good message about truth on the back of the Art Museum. “Art still has truth take refuge there”

Pen drawing of a feminine figure caught between strange technological devices to the left of their head and upper torso with metallic bits intruding under the skin while to the left of their tattooed face they flow into swirls of mystical looking energy. Pen drawing of a long, black haired feminine figure with four arms per side that get smaller as they go down their back. Small shell and gem like objects in their hair while their face a smooth, bone or polished stone looking surface with a small oval where the main features would be. Their primary left arm is outstretched towards a floating book with a highly textured surface of bone and flesh looking shapes with odd growths that flows up the right side of the page and behind their head. These same style of growths surround them at shin height with shapes renunciant of devices embedded in it along with crystals. A smaller left arm is grasping a large orb held up by one of these organic columns while in the distance a cliff rises up with figures standing near a sculpted standing stone while a large gas giant looking planet hangs in the sky of the upper right of the page. Pen drawing of a feminine figure on the right side with an elongated skull that flows into various organic shapes down and around her long neck as he long tongue extrudes out of her mouth, licking twisted organic form with multiple faces and made up of intertwining tendrils and other fleshy, bulbous shapes. Surrounding the scene are streaks of night sky embedded with ghostly forms and surrounded by twisted bodies and body parts. Pen drawing of an alien covered in coral looking bio-mechanical growths and a fogged visor only showing eyes with tentacle like limbs 'crab-walking' towards the left. Its companion is folded up in a corner among the curved walls that are covered in alien machinery that has organic like textures that look carved or inscribed. Behind the moving alien is a large oval window showing a star scape in deep space.

“Misty Woods”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dark, closed-in forest with breaks of sunlight and fog. Streaks of light shine through the dense canopy as a small, hidden feline watches the surroundings from a safe enclosure. “Autumn Stream”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a forest in autumn. A dramatic sunset and gathering clouds fill the sky, with rolling hills of colorful trees. A slightly rushing stream cuts through the clearing towards the viewer. 18”x24” oil painting of a nebula in red and orange, above a dark forest in shades of purple, blue and black. A cozy campfire brightly lights a clearing next to an old log, and reflects on the surrounding trees. A rushing stream cuts through the forest. 18”x24” oil painting of dark, jagged mountains amongst a cloudy, stormy sky. The clouds are sweeping across the largest mountain in the center of the painting. A break in the clouds from the upper-left casts a semi-golden light down on the landscape. Pine trees and a shallow pond sit in the foreground.

Trans. People are acceptable! All you have to do is accept them in your life, and if we all do that, they will be normalized. This is a worthy goal for a country as strong as ours. Thank you and please repost.

Happy holidays! Thanks for this Artshare!!

I'm Val, I'm an artist based in Madrid and I like making illustrations with eerie vibes!
Knights of Guinevere illustration with the character Gwen on the center of the piece, with a wooden border around her, as if she is part of a painting Original piece of a sad pierrot White hair, white clothes, brown skin with a pair of orange hearts tattooed on the checks, wearing multiple golden jewels The pierrot looks worried, Devil may cry 2 fan art of the character Lucia She is staring blank to a side, while her face is broken as if it was made of porcelain. Under the broken hole shows part of her devil trigger, her true self behind the 'mask' Signalis fan art of the character Elster She is the middle of the piece, with her eyes staring at the viewer. She seem like coming out of the shadows, covered in white lilies that make a contrast to all the black colors around her

Hoot hoot! Eye spy a great horned owl!

#owl
Saw this great horned owl in the park this evening during a walk. Found 1 of 2 geocaches! We’ll make a second go another time. The owl might have been trying to give us a hint but I don’t speak owl.

My 4yr old ate about half of the slice of cheese she asked for and said…

“This is not the cheese I deserve.”

May you all get the cheese you deserve.
