Minneapolis based artist, working mainly in Pyrography and painting. Current series explorers animal skulls and celestial bodies.
Mummified Squirrel. Watercolor on paper. 9x12
Because paint used to be created from actually mummies up until the 1960s. Not this kind like the Egyptian wrapped humans and cats.

Here is this one all framed up. It took a bonkers amount of time to complete (for me at least) but I think maybe the next time I do this it’ll be a little quicker.

This one is turkey skulls and a feather background. When I first burned in the skulls I didn’t like it as much. But now that I did the background and added it feel like it works much better! #sciart #skull #pyrography #illustration #fineart #darkart #artist #artshare
