Magazine cover of a fox in a shimmering pink dress. Big bow tie above her tail, she is lookin back at the audience. Above her read: Maiden Fox in pink dress looking back at you while lifting the end of her skirts. Wistful atmosphere is in the air. Her dress sparkles under the sun

Being chronically ill is crazy because I'll meet people and think we get along and then become bedridden for days and come back like "omg do they even remember I exist? Is there a strange distance because I missed all the shared experiences???" And it's fine every time but I still get scared

The infamous fish… individually cut and stapled each scale, front and back of the fish. Almost died.

Artist statement is in the comments for those curious about some of the thoughts behind this project!

I recommend zooming in to catch details on the head and tail 🙂‍↕️

A fish made of reflective, metallic, mirror-like material set on top of black fabric and surrounded by pink lily petals. In front of the fish is a sheet of paper littered with small colorful hearts with typed instructions on how to interact with the art piece

I feel like. I am 7 mars bars deep in this art project and every time my friends talk to me they go "how's the fish? How are YOU???" And idk where I am or what I'm doing and it's so late at night that it's early in the morning

Burnt match
A lipless, toothy figure in a black coat. it's skin is bruise-yellow and green. its upper head is scorched black, its hair flows straight up, and it has scratchy "eyes" floating where real eyes should be. The background is reminiscent of flames

“A mythology woven in ink and fur.”
🦊
The sketch inspired by the fox and flowers. Symbolize wisdom, transformation, and memory. Designed to work as both tattoo flash and book cover art.

A book cover sketch, read “a tale of fox’s tail” red textured background with line art of a white fox, curling tail that carries the flow of water and wind. His tail, tells a tale, untold. He got a ridge back in a pattern of flower and some flowers hiding in his fur. Looks like he’s jumping down from a high ground, descending. line art of a white fox, curling tail that carries the flow of water and wind. His tail, tells a tale, untold.

Still haven't played in this one shot, but I was inspired to make this painting of her. Originally I wanted to have it done for Halloween but here we are ~

Is it called laundry. Because. You’re supposed to dry it in your lawn? Lawn-dry? Or am I crazy?

Drawings of places! I am NOT a background girlie but art school be art schooling… I have since added more prints to my “pin board” (really just a slab of plastic, it’s the only place we’re allowed to put tape/tack. But it does have a silly reflection to draw!) #art #sketch #traditionalart

I’m alive I swear-
more observational drawing! Kitty I found whilst escaping a strange man (medium length story)
The back of the paper is the Actual Art, but figured I’d post the front with the sketch as well just in case people couldn’t find the cat in there
