Merry #Crustmas to all who celebrate! Hoping you are firmly attached to people you love, are able to scoop up large amounts of food, and can hide in an impervious shell when the social situation requires it ❤️
My sculpture of an acorn barnacle—a crustacean!—in steel, bronze, and sterling silver, sitting on a white background. My hand touches the steel barnacle shell and provides scale (barnacle is just a bit smaller than my hand). The barnacle’s filter feeding legs (cirri) are spread dramatically wide.

Hen and Squirrel.
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Dedicated to the neighbourhood Goblin Squirrel (who might possibly just be a new mother after all).
Black ink drawing, primarily in silhouette, of a hen chasing off a squirrel as it scrambles over a fallen branch on the ground. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The piece is small and intricate, and is roughly the size of a business card.

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??
In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices. A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands. The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention. Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane. Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury. Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree. A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

Gar Friend PART THREE:
The FINale!

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium got sick and disfigured.

Ten years later, no one wanted her when it was time to find her a new home...

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!

Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

I loved painting this little Cat Reaper last year. It’s oil and 24 karat gold leaf on a wooden coffin shaped panel.

The original is still available if anyone is interested!

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.
Meet Muppy, the World’s Smallest Sled Dog
Most sled dogs are huskies and pointers, but Muppy didn’t get the memo. With sheer determination and a whole lot of heart, this little dog is rewriting the rules of racing.

We need your help. At Merrymac we have almost 100 bird friends so we’re obviously terrified by the spread of bird flu. We’ve been scrambling to get new procedures, equipment, and structures in place but it has been expensive. Can you donate to help us save our flock? donorbox.org/mmfs-protect...

One more from my Borneo archives, because frankly, living in the past seems like a good idea right now. See the grasshopper? Look for the "holes" in the leaf - they're actually solid but transparent exoskeleton. I've shared this before elsewhere, but I don't think here. Even if, worth a re-post. 🐙🌿📷
A photo of what at first looks like a pile of dead brown leaves, but upon closer inspection is a pile of dead brown leaves and a grasshopper that is astonishingly camouflaged as a dead brown leaf. Its body is flattened with a crest to create the leaf shape; the end of the wings even has a projection that looks like the leaf stem. The abdomen tip curls up to meet it to help the deception. The grasshopper has markings that look like leaf veins, and a couple of what look like rotted holes in a leaf, but which are actually clear spots in the exoskeleton to create this illusion.

'Longing'
Brown pencil on ivory cartridge paper, 135 × 103 mm, 2020. #PudgyHorse #PudgyAndMe

Available via everydayoriginal.com from tomorrow, 10:30 EST.
Drawing in brown pencil of my Pudgy Horse, a baroque-type horse with a luxuriant mane and tail and deliberately exaggerated proportions including an extremely generous girth and short, delicate legs with dainty hooves; accompanied here again with a red-crowned crane – a self portrait of sorts – standing on its back with one leg raised and its head tucked. Beyond them, a small roundel with clusters of cherry blossoms in the rain serves as a background.
