Fine artist creating surreal wildlife paintings in acrylic and mixed media.

My work explores vibrancy, symbolism, and nature’s cycles - creation, life, death, and decay - in it's most beautiful aspects.

Please comment. I'm such a sad sack and it makes me feel good about my efforts in creating. I don't typically reply since unfortunately my extreme anxiety also applies to internet interactions.

Bsky please don’t be like this. Artists love when you comment on their stuff 🧡
Depending on how swamped we are or how anxious, some might not always reply. Myself, I do my best to reply as much as I can, and also know I treasure all of your interactions a lot. It’s why I post as actively as I do.

Some fun graphics for KeepersofEniv.com
(all by me but the soul orb and star jewelry on the Enivi, those are done by GreyManticoreArt).

Had a lot of fun making the golden wheel with gems!

The amount of work I've done that I can't show... I remember creating this awesome desert landscape for a game with a giant monster skeleton and pools of green, steaming acid.

By the time the NDA was up it no longer fit my portfolio. I was so proud of it at the time though.
This is a good article. For all the importance we have in creating the entire look of the product, we really don't have any power. We are not even allowed to show our labor to find new jobs most of the time.

Artists need to unionize.

Me, this morning: "I'm done with today! I've been working 2 weeks straight. I'm taking a day off!"
My Bestie: "YEAH! DO IT! TAKE THE DAY!"
Me: "I'M GETTING STARBUCKS AND LAYING IN BED ALL DAY!"

2 hours later, Me, at the computer, working with Starbucks in hand: "Wait what?"

Sucks that I can't watch the Eagles game today because I have to jump between 50 streaming services to see the different games and the one today wants $50 for one game.

The fact that it made me say "I miss cable" is insane.

I like going to the cemetery early in the morning because, if you’re calm and patient, the skeletons will approach and even eat right out of your hand.

I'm really close to having enough and can get the test on monday
I hate to ask but I need to do this test or my doctor won't prescribe further treatment. I currently can't afford it or the transportation to get to the hospital for it. I will do commissions to help meet the goal but I ask for patience on the turn around. Rts appreciated

My bestie and I had a conversation last night about how hard it is to be real about what our art pieces mean.
How the deeper meaning in them other than "pretty picture" gets lost and how we want to be more "raw", but it's so scary to be so revealing on social media.

One more plea here, in addition to more scientists we’d LOVE some more artists! If you illustrate, paint, sketch, embroider, write poetry about, or make any other kind of #art with these wildlife featured (apart from AI/NFT content) and aren’t part of the feeds, hmu ❤️🎨🖌️
If you witnessed me @'ing a metric shit ton of scientists on bsky today to rope them into the critter feeds, mind your business 😤

But really, we need more scientists in the wildlife feeds! If you study #MarineLife, #Mammals, #Herps, #Birds, or some mix of these critters, we've got feeds for that!
