Good choice! Today I'm making the black and white versions of these greeting cards for a customer - I'm a fan of a classic black and white linocut and it's always the first colour that I print, so I'm a bit partial 😁

Pro tip for your love life: take her to the museum and let her lose her mind with joy.

(My husband took me to a museum to take art reference photos, and I didn’t know he’d been filming me b/c he saw how happy it made me.)

Added one more event to my holiday vending list, at the Museum of Appalachia! This one is going to be SO cozy + great if you’re an activity person or have kids because there’s a lot of activities and animals in addition to being peak festive aesthetic.

Nothing Is Ever Wasted won’t be restocked any more because I DROPPED THE CARVING and almost a quarter of it cracked off. 😔

So, what I have in stock now is all that’s left.

We’re printing the last restock of the Junebug right now. It’s a three year old carving, and y’all made sure it worked hard those three years, with it being the most popular of the tinyprints! Time to let this carving rest before it’s worn out completely. 🥲

Paleontologists of Bluesky! What’s something in your field you wish the public understood better or cared more about?

Asking as an artist who does a lot of paleo inspired work and wants to contribute to science communication!

And yes I did what any artist does when they have a fever. I drew a ghost bison. 🦬

This phantom (B. antiquus) came together from a fever, modern bison seeking out hydrothermal areas in winter to warm up in the steam, and hotsprings in the Dakotas being a prime location for B. antiquus fossils, the mineral-rich waters perfectly preserving the bones.

Make the art you need to see in the world, I say. 🌷

I'm keeping this year's holiday release simple, and that bringing back this OG Beastie and Bone linocut for a second limited edition release. Available to Patrons the 21st, and to the public the 28th!

Opening tonight at Ghost Gallery @ghostgallery1.bsky.social for you Seattle friends! This was one of my favorite galleries when I lived in the PNW, and it’s so special to have one of my paper art originals back there for the holiday season. #artshow #seattleart #curio #vultureculture

There is beauty here in Tennessee, too, in the approaching winter, but forgive me for looking at The Green Vein a lot on my wall, and dreaming of the mountainous, snowy PNW.

The museum I went to over the weekend ended up having a LOT of the fossils I’ve been planning to make art of this upcoming year! 👀

So excited to have my own reference photos to work from now, and have the memory input of experiencing the fossils in person, too, it makes a big difference!

When you go to a science or nature museum you HAVE to get rock candy from the gift shop on your way out. That’s how it is. I don’t make the rules.

New Mexico friends! Another of my paper originals is up at @jentough gallery in Santa Fe as part of the Collect Them All small works show for the holidays!

Today I saw a baby triceratops fossil and maybe I cried, maybe it was my allergies, and what of it?

How strange it is, for a quiet Friday afternoon of chronic health issues with a storm looming outside the window, to also be the time you take another step on a journey you once thought would only be a dream. #manuscriptsubmission #artwriter #paperart #sciart

Friends/family I haven’t seen in a while have begun to greet me with “I saw this article/photo/museum about dinosaurs/bugs/odd nature fact, and was thinking about you…”

Seattle friends! I may not be able to make it to WA for this holiday season, but one of my little Stock’s Vampire Bat Skull originals is, as part of the Holiday Mini Art Exhibit at the every-lovely Ghost Gallery.

Where were you during the cicada bumper crop emergence in 2024? I sadly didn’t see many, but I created a whole Cicada Brood collection of paper originals to celebrate. :) Most have flown to new homes since then, but a couple are still available!

I know plenty of folks get Seasonal Affective Disorder this time of year with the fading light and the mixed emotions that the holidays can bring up, so this hopecore dinosaur skull illo is here to remind you that endings are beginnings, too, and life *always* finds a way.

Horses fit spooky season perfectly, IMO. They’re beautiful but also just SO ODD if you think about them too long. They have one big toe? They spook at invisible things? Some still grow canine teeth?

Anyway, this paper jawbone is from a radioactive Hagerman horse fossil!
