Is it an angry rabbit shrimp? No it’s a phantom midge pupa! It’s the 8th wonder of the world why this little creature hasn’t got insanely popular yet. Oh and they look like something you’ll see in hollow knight or silk song, which is a plus.

It’s Weevil Wednesday! Weevils are probably the most diverse and successful group of any kind of living things, and their adorable snouts are definitely playing a critical part in their success. I’m happy to complete a new illustration & sticker sheet design for them! 💚🌱

We love jumping spiders because they are smol, cute, active, friendly and always looking around curiously with their huge eyes. But do you know they’re also masters of mimicry? Check out the bugs they pretend to be (and some of those are really good)!💚💚

The gothmoth print is always one of my best sellers at expos, and I’ve being thinking about a new version with the iconic black witch featured as well! I will also make a silver foil print version which will be available at future in person events as well!

The Deep Ones - I’ve been always thinking about a deep sea Cephalopod theme and here it is! Tentacles and appendages are so different when it comes to arranging the composition so it took me a good while, and hopefully it ends up well! 🦑🐙They’re just like from another world💙
