I just found out Dr. Goodall passed away. She had an incredible impact on me growing up. I was fortunate enough to meet her & get almost an hour of one on one time with her. When I'm in a bad place, I hear her say I have a rainbow in me. I'm so thankful to have lived when you did, and I'll miss you.

Toonfusion's lineup was a motivator to finally make some chara candles. I've avoided doing charas, I worry my impression won't be what people want, but I enjoyed the researching & visualizing for these quite a bit. #hazbinhotel #angeldust #husk #alastor #lucifer #huskerdust #radiodust #radioapple

Hi! Hope this isn't rude but figured I'd respond. We don't have them on the website yet, but if you are interested feel free to send me a dm. These are the four scents I have, and I'd like to do more down the road since they were well received so if you have one you'd like to see,let me know 😊

We're at Akron Pride today and both the people and weather are treating us great! Stop by and say hello, and get a free "This Pride Is Not A Sin" sticker 🥰

Finished designing this new Hatsune Miku Teru-Teru Bouzu a friend requested. I kind of want to start make character keychains in this style, had a lot of fun simplifying her details. #hatsunemiku #amigurumi #crochet #miku #artistalley #tekko

A friend of mine asked if I could make a Hatsune Miku version of my Teru Teru bouzu, so im experimenting with sculpting hair. #wip #crochet #amigurumi #hatsunemiku #miku

Just some cutie spotting at Anthrocon

Anthrocon had really been showing Aaron love and it makes me incredibly happy. He'll be stuck at the table the whole time, so please stop by to show him your fursuit/badges/etc! #anthrocon #furry #furryartists #furrybadge

@aaronmizuno.bsky.social is finishing a new commission sign for Anthrocon. He'll be in the Artist Alley at K-18 offering badge, art card, & action sheet (multiple gestures/expressions) commissions. It'll be his first time solo-ing, so please stop by and cheer him on! #anthrocon #furry #furryartists

I'm definitely not the illustrator for the studio, but I try to sketch out my ideas to give myself a visual to reference while designing new plush. Already have to make some pattern tweaks from the prototype, but I think they'll be cute once I'm finished :3

Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline.

Weve been without power since 5pm yesterday, so putting my candle supplies to use. But really hoping West Penn Power gets us back up and running soon 🥲 we just went shopping right before the outage and the fridge is already going to have to be tossed. Not fixed income friendly lol

The tree that fell. I talked to it for a bit and gave it some pats 🥺

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is one of our absolute favorite isekai series. There are so many wonderful characters that it was hard deciding who to include. It could have easily become a "Where's Waldo" situation. #thattimeigotreincarnatedasaslime #rimurutempest #fanart #print

I think we can all agree that Jinshi's absolute mental unraveling when thinking about gremlin!MaoMao is peak entertainment.

This is a new style of print Aaron is experimenting with to be able to showcase a characters personality.

I don't suppose any of you lovely folks out there have a spare #VGenCode for someone hoping to join? Aaron has been offering at-con and online commissions for years, but being able to join and sell on the site would let us meet a significantly broader audience and expand the portfolio.

We stayed with some friends in Columbus for Sekaicon & they surprised us with a light cube after we fell in love with theirs. Under the ocean? Check. In a volcano? Check. Beautiful Aurora? Triple check. We've used it every day since. The video doesn't capture just how lovely it is in person.

Some recent fur badge commissions Aaron had from Zenkaikon. We're working toward attending furry cons in the future and part of that is building up the portfolio :3 #furry #furryartists #furrybadge

New candle who dis?

We're at Sekaicon this weekend and the way I sped run to have these ready in time.

My grandma worked in a flower shop for several years and when I'd go with her the moment I walked in and was engulfed in the scent it melted my anxiety away. I wanted to capture that memory here.

Art is personal, it tells us something about the artist.

Politics are personal, they tell us something about the persons morals.

The intersection of art & politics has always been & will always be. For better or worse, it's innately human.

I decided to try growing peppers from store bought ones & am kind of shocked by the # of seeds that germinated. They'll get thinned as the stronger ones establish themselves, then transfered to a bucket. I'm so desperate to be in a house with a yard, but for now I'll do what I can. #indoorgardening

2am is the perfect time to share random videos of cute turtles. I don't make the rules, I just help her dance and sing.
