Happy Halloween!
A Little Shop of Horrors illustration, made in 2020 for the Terror Time Zine, by Amanda J Ellis(Amandajealous). Audrey 2 looms over Seymour. Blood dripping for Audrey’s huge maw on to Seymour’s hand and face. He looks up at the enormous plant, terrified. There are vines everywhere, including creeping around Seymour’s neck and into the folds of his snazzy new suit.

Sorry to brag but I've photographed them on a couple of occasions! Both times I was raking up leaf littler.

Toof was scratching too much so I made him a anti-itch collar.
A black cat with green eyes lying down. He’s wearing a green collar that’s in the shape of flower petals. Same black cat, sitting up and looking up at the camera. The petals on his anti-itch collar make him look like an adorable flower.

Exciting news, I'll be moving soon!
Me and my little family - my husband Shawn and our cats Toof and Franky - are relocating from Long Island NY to Upstate NY.
I'll be taking a break from posting new art while we move and settle in. Be back in November.
Wish us luck during this big life transition!
A quick drawing of Amanda and Shawn walk with moving boxed. In the box Amanda is carrying, their cat Toof is sitting. The kitten Frankie is walking along side Shawn, looking up at him. Above everyone is the statement "We're moving!"

Turn to the Bugs - Bug Diaries - 4

Instead of a specific featured bug, this entry is about how bugs brighten my world.

#bugs #BugDiaries #comic #comicoop #SciArt
The artist has a pained expression with erratic scribbles coming from her head. The color palette is monochrome. “When my mind can’t fins stillness.” The artist starts to cry, the scribble are texting up the entire panel, but from the head of the artist is an image of a colorful beetle(Swamp Milkweed Leaf Beetle). “I turn to the bugs.” “There is wonder in the complexity.” Four colorful bug images. A weevil, oleander aphids, a great golden digger wasp, a pair of small milkweed beetles mating. “Hope in their simplicity.” “Sharing our only Earth with them makes my heart lighter.” The artist is sitting on the ground with a hand on her chest, still colored monochrome. Behind them is an image of two calligrapher flies on a dandelion flower. Bight yellow backlights the artist. All the images used in this comic strip were personally taken by the artist.

June Beetle - Bug Diaries - 3

Going back in time to a bug moment from my childhood.
#bugs #BugDiaries #comic #comicoop #SciArt
Bug Diaries comic strip - June Beetle. A flashback comic to the artist’s childhood. The young artist is lying in bed with an arm under her pillow. She’s got one eye peaking open and a subtle grin. “One night, when I was little, I thought I'd sneak something past my Mom by hiding it under my pillow.” “Didn’t work.” The artist mom sports and unimpressed expression. With her palm open mom says “Hand it over.” The young artist avoids eye contact and sweatily asks “Hand what over?” The artist relents and places a large June Beetle into her mom’s hand. “It’s my friend.” June Beetle, Subgenus Phyllophaga, Phyllophaga crenulata. “Sorry. No sleepovers tonight.” Says mom as she released the beetle out the bedroom window.

It’s little guy time
Sketch of a cartoony character in a notebook, drawn in pen. The character has a round body with skinny noodle legs and big bean-shaped feet. They have a curly tuft on the top of their head. The head is also the body, like Kirby. No arms though, unlike Kirby. There is a smaller sketch in the bottom left corner, no fully in view. The little character is making a pained expression.

Common Picture-winged Fly - Bug Diaries - 2
#bugs #BugDiaries #comic #comicoop #SciArt
Bug Diaries comic strip - Common Picture-winged Fly. The artist stands on the side of the road, deep in the bug zone, as they photograph a fly. Close up on the bug, a Common Picture-winged Fly, Delphinia picta. Suddenly soneone driving by shouts at the artist, it’s their friend Ryan. “AMANDA I got…” It’s hard to make out the rest of what Ryan is saying as the truck zooms off. The artist texts her friend Ryan. “What did you get?” asks the artist via text. The artist also sends a picture. “This is the fly I was photographing.” Ryan texts back “Bunch of mulch lol” and “Nice!!!”

I raised some monarchs this summer. Releasing them all grown up has lightened my heart in these turbulent times.

Just yesterday I gave Ancestor a reread. A reflection on human nature through a sci-fi lens. Told succinctly over 4 parts. Highly recommend.
Ancestor cover art. By Matt Sheean and Malachi Ward. The main character Peter being swept away by many small amorphous shapes.
