Hi folks! There’s a bunch of new people on here so I figured I’d introduce myself again! I’m an artist (primarily printmaking), art educator, and all around fan of nature and animals. I mostly post art, cool bugs, and pictures of my cats. Just an overall silly goose ✌🏼 #hello

“And now for the non-sporting group. First up, the standard poodle. Fun fact about this dog—he is also an active hunting dog!”

I’ll never forgive them for the film adaptation of the musical Hair. If any a play-turned-movie needed a remake, this would be my choice.

I don’t hate going to the dentist. It’s a perfectly ok experience. But the music… the music! It’s what I imagine they’d play in the fake good place that’s actually the bad place.

The semester is well underway so I haven’t really been making my own art lately. But here are some hasty monotype demos I did for my intro to print students ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #printmaking

Apologies to all my inner arm tattoo girlies. I was not aware of your game. This was by far the most unpleasant tattoo I've ever gotten.
