Hello there! I’m Blake, an illustrator & animator based in Colorado who explores themes of nature, scientific illustration, surrealism, and occasionally horror.

Website: www.blake-sass-illustration.com
Illustration of a Grass Frog. The frog is up front in the illustration as though it’s on glass. The frog’s underbelly is transparent showing its internal organs. The background is mostly black with some leaves. A gig poster for the Bluegrass band Rusty Gears. The illustration shows a blue stellar jay bird a top a pile of rusty junk metal, gears sticking out of various parts of the pile. Grass and foliage have over grown on parts of the pile. The background is a dingy pale yellow/beige with the words “Rusty Gears” written on the background. A fluffy black and green jumping spider in a black hoodie with a pastel beanie doing a kick flip on a skateboard. The skateboard is neon green, has a fruit fly on it, covered in stickers. The subject is contrasted with a bright red background. Invokes retro punk feel. An illustration of a large group of pitcher plants. The pitcher plants of made of neon green, red and purple colors. A cartoon drawing of a sitting white frog is on top the plants breaking up the color. The frog is outlined in blue and wearing a pair of headphones.

This show is so good at grabbing you immediately, introducing the characters and creating amazing stakes. It’s been my favorite adult animation since Scavengers Reign. Please check it out!!

For anyone that missed the first 4 episodes of Common Side Effects, they’re replaying them tonight at Midnight on Adult Swim, for you to catch up. I seriously can’t recommend this show enough. Don’t sleep on it.

I love the frog exo terras and can’t recommend them enough. The little top window for light is so great for my frogs to judge me at all angles.

Attempting gouache again. I haven’t touched in five years and have only used it a handful of times. We needed an art for a red frame in our window. Hope I can exercise this muscle more.
A gouache painting of a moss and lichen covered branch. The painting is in a desk , a mat board on top of it. It’s surrounded by paint tubes, a pallet and brushes. The same painting but placed in a red frame on a window sill. A citrine rock and bottle is placed in front of it.

My self portraits so far. It’s really cool to see them all lined up like this.

The past 2 years I really just went full force into what I want to draw instead of just trying to create things fast for the sake of posting.

#art #selfportrait #darkart
A self portrait of myself. The subject is in the tree wearing a tiger onesie with a dead deer in their teeth hanging down. The background is at night, foliage all around. Very dark and moody imagery. Self portrait from 2021 similar subject matter. Me in a tiger onesie over a bloody dead gemsbok. Self portrait 2019. Me in a tiger onesie, this time leaping from the upper right side pouncing on an alive male deer.

I do these self portraits once and awhile. I felt it was time for a new one.

A self portrait of myself in a tree. Wearing an orange tiger onesies holding a dear in my teeth. It’s nighttime, dark and the subjects eyes are glowing.

30 is not old. If you think 30 is old I feel like you’re limiting yourself so much. I am doing more stuff at 30 & having more fun than I ever did in my 20s which were the worst time of my life.

If you feel like 30 is old I just feel like you need to hangout with more elderly people.

A mirror I made for our Animal Crossing themed bathroom. I’m working on rearranging it and making it not a place of chaos.

A small mirror with a collapsed Gulliver from Animal crossing painted in the upper left corner. He is on a beach, wave highlights painted on the mirror.

My botw Zelda nano tank is one of my favorite builds of last year. It was an abandoned 60s vintage tank we found on the roadside. It’s one of those tanks I see when I get home and go “I made that!”

The picture shows a floating disembodied head disintegrating into static. The vertebrae end in frayed nerves which transition into AUX input cables. One eye is static and one is color bars.

Mourning Geckos! Micro geckos are my other special interest that isn’t frogs. Mourning geckos are a common micro gecko. All of them of female, no males needed here. Let’s go lesbians.

Glass Frog!! I have a pair of these frogs and they are wonderful if you want a very small fascinating arboreal frog. They have a lot of personality for someone so small.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
