I was devastated to hear the news that a fire broke out in @southriverartstudios last week. Artists not only lost their art, they also lost the tools and spaces they needed to continue to create. I am donating the proceeds from the sale of this print I made at a Big Ink workshop hosted by SRAS.

I’ve started transferring my design for #bigink2025 to the 36x24” wood block! I feel like I’m a little behind on this but it feels good to move onto the physical block so here hoping I build some momentum!

It’s #mothweek and to honor these under appreciated pollinators I’ve illustrated a Giant Leopard Moth in the shadow of a Hoary Bat on the hunt! I may end up carving this into a linoleum block.

Recent commission I completed for a t-shirt design! Congaree National Park is home to the incredible synchronous fireflies, who, as the name suggests, flash in unison! Would love to plan a trip to see them one day!

So proud of little Marietta, GA for standing up yesterday. Even the pouring rain couldn’t put a damper on this crowd.

Had an idea to try my slugs and fungi print (sans border) on one of my mini totes. And I’m obsessed.

Opening a new order from Sticker App. I think I’m most excited about the shimmery possum but I love how all three turned out! I’ll get some better product photos soon.

A Pygmy rattlesnake nestled in a bed of leaves. Made this one for the Reptile Rally last year at Bear Creek Nature Center.

Really struggled to pull a clean print today in black ink. But I did get a couple in this gorgeous yellow! Idk if it’s the low humidity or if my black ink is getting old — the ink just got so tacky so fast and was really hard to work with.

Okay, the question is, do I continue to carve out to the edge of the block? Or should I leave the thin border? I think I’ll do a test print with the border either way. #printmaking #wip

Ready to carve my slugs and fungus block! Did I forget to flip the image or did I plan all along for the digital to be the opposite of the final print? Mysteries of a printmaker… #printpromptmonday #inprogress #wip #printmaking

Mantelslugs and fungi. I was trying to crank this out as a block print before the Atlanta Mushroom Festival next weekend, but I think carving and printing is a bit ambitious at this point. But maybe by the next one! #digitalillustration #nature

Didn’t meander too much while completing this drawing so I got a nice and succinct time lapse out of it. Not my usual MO #procreate #digitalillustration
