Acorn weevils are way cuter than you think! You know those perfectly round holes in acorns? That’s these guys.

Definitely painterly, not super abstract, but my fine art work is completely abstract and I’d love to merge them more. Thanks!

The #scbwi prompt for March is WILD THINGS. This is a new thing I have been tinkering with-- drawing on top of an anthotype print. (Print made with 🦋 pea emulsion) Morels have a symbiotic relationship with ferns and centipedes live beneath them.
