Here is my cat Oliver, sleeping in a box. He looks like a Tribble.
An orange cat, curled up in a box, who has arranged his legs and head in such a way that it appears to be a ball of fur. His name is Oliver.

With the speed and grace of drunk diplodocus, this has limped its way to 60% funded.
So if you enjoyed the first two Ex|Terra books, would like there to be a third, and if you are able, please consider backing and/or sharing this. Thank you!

A piece that is still sitting and collecting dust in my studio. It made it into one of the Spectrum Fantasy Art Books.

I created 'The Rise' between 2015 and 2017. Psyché, my partner and model for this piece, came into my life through this artwork.

'The Rise' – Mixed media: graphite, gold leaf, silver leaf, and hydrangea petals on paper.
The Rise is a piece blending gold, graphite, and silver, framed by delicate floral and vegetal motifs. At the center, a winged woman stands on the ruins of a spiral staircase, overlooking a glowing chasm with golden cascades. Her majestic wings and the subtle details of her veils seem ready to carry her into the void, scattered with feathers and stars. The atmosphere is dreamlike, balancing between melancholic beauty and spiritual ascension.

Here's Mortimer all decked out for Christmas. Merry Christmas, everybody! Share this post with your favorite Christmas art / photos. #art #animalart #fauxtaxidermy #christmas #holiday #christmasart
A black faux taxidermy antelope wearing a red Santa hat. The creature has large eyes, huge pointy animal ears, and a shit-eating-grin. It's mounted on a white paneled wall and photographed with a digital potato of a camera so it's a bit blurry.

Another WTF item from Oriental Trading Company... I clicked the link, it's very serious. Ad from Facebook.
A pair of pictures. On the left, a Merkin, which is a pubic hair wig. Seriously. And on the right, a set of plastic horse-head finger puppets.

Two of the six snowman ornaments I'm selling this year. Hand-painted and customized with a red fuzzy scarf. Each is $22, with free shipping for the U.S.A. Send me a message if you're interested in owning an Ed Tucciarone Christmas ornament this year! More to come soon, possibly!
Two identical snowmen, looking rather hopeful, wearing a black top hat, a red scarf, and a carrot nose. They each carry a broom. Actually they're made of painted wood, and they're being sold as ornaments.

I've finished my Christmas shopping. Well, I might buy some more stuff because I'm feelin' generous. But I'm pretty much done. #ChristmasShopping #December1 #BlackFridaySucks

Here is a photo from earlier in the year of my next faux taxidermy. It's the wooden armature that goes inside the styrofoam sculpture. I'll take a picture of that stage soon. #fauxtaxidermy #animalart #art
An incredibly messy room with books, boxes, and art supplies all over the place. In the center is a roughly shield-shaped piece of wood with an angled, somewhat vertical stick coming out of it. This is the armature for my next sculpture.

I feel like worrying a lot will make my problems go away. It hasn’t in the past but perhaps I didn’t worry enough.

Why did nobody told me Rothko had an "evil" phase?
A photo of Rothko's "No. 7 (Dark over Light)" a huge 2.43 meter tall painting. It shows an ornage red field, with a light square on the bottom a ta more cream tone; and over two thirds perhaps more, a huge black spot, like a darkness consuming the canvas. It also kind of looks like a Yu-gi-oh card without any text or illustrations.

Just because I choose not to drink doesn't automatically make me no fun. That is a separate choice, which I've also made.

Here are some robot ornaments that I've made in years past. I don't have any more of these--they all sold out!
A silver robot ornament with screw heads for eyes, a black moustache, clock hands for arms, and ribbed beads for legs. A copper and gold robot ornament, consisting of a block of wood on top of a longer, narrower piece of wood. She has flower beads for eyes and clock hands for arms. Her chest features a heart that says "Made with Love". Her legs are two trumpet beads. She's smiling. A very silly, small wooden robot made out of blocks of wood. She is painted silver, with blue eyes and a pair of upholstery tacks serving as a sea-shell bra. She has a "grass skirt" made out of silver-colored tassels. Her function is to be a Christmas ornament.

In what has been an on-again, off-again tradition, I am once again producing Christmas ornaments for sale. This is one design (I got it at Michaels) that I am currently painting. I will have six available. Let me know if you're interested.
An unpainted wooden snowman with a top hat, holding a broom in his left hand. He has a pointed carrot nose, and is suspended by a red ribbon.

Here is my third faux taxidermy, Ludwig. He's supposed to be a deer but I took some liberties. He came out way bigger than I expected and his nose sucks, but he's finished and I like him.
A brown faux taxidermy with a black nose and grey antlers. It has big ears and light brown eyelids.
