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.)

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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!
