Really excited to be back at the Longmont Artisan Market Dec 13 & 14, I'll have all sorts of originals as well as prints, scarves, totes, and my new standee design! (I swear I'll get better pictures later, to go with the fall ones I have, but it just came in and I'm really excited!)
photo of my 'standee' product, which are laser cut spruce trees in snow, a wolf, and a little grouping of a rabbit, gnome, and owl, all in a wooden base. Example of the standee which has a walnut base, a tag that says boofest in front, with pumpkins in the next slot, a silken behind, and fall trees behind that. In the upper left corner it says Forest & Pumpkins dark stain, wilken warm stain, base walnut

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Hahaha oh no
Photo of a wolf being awkward on it's hind legs. Above the wolf is text that says "look at me. I'm neurotypical, how's the weather today? Do you enjoy the tags on your shirts fellow humans? I definitely can't explain the plot of Evangelion. Let's go somewhere loud and bright so we can relax"

Also I don't know if I shared this really cool new thing I did! These Standees are lovely handmade wooden bases with laser engraved fitted vertical pieces that are interchangable for species and season! The 1st batch was silkens & fall things, but it's VERY modular and I'm making new art everyday!

Years ago my brother bought me a vinyl cutter. But at the time the software was a bit crap and I got frustrated. Recently my friend & fantastic AD @zoerobin.bsky.social reminded me that it may have gotten better! So I've started my own vinyl stickers. Me being me it's a lot of sighthounds first...

I saw the Aurora last night with my naked eye! It was less vivid than these photos but still bright enough to be noticeable and lovely. What a fantastic treat. Over the years I've driven hours looking for it, this was my back yard 💚

Ok so is there a trick to figuring out the difference between that yellow rabbitbrush, and rubber rabbitbrush? I am struggling to identify a plant!? I added photos in case it's one of those 'I can see it but not say it' things.

"The Oncoming Storm"
I love the profile of miss Rowanberry, she is one of my favorite borzoi. A strong & noble face on a sweet, huntress, with a fantastic sense of humor when she wants to tell you about her adventures.
Watercolor - 11.75" x 5.825" - Available!
watercolor painting of the head of a borzoi facing left, the head is painted in violets and purples on an abstract grey and red background. The hound has intense golden eyes.

"Savannah Pattern" Years ago when I was in Botswana I was thrilled to see giraffes roaming the Savannah. Their gorgeous patterning and odd proportions are still such an inspiration to me.

"Duke of Tulips", my newest Floral Court Dragon, is known for his savvy political dealings and swift victories on the battlefield.

He's still looking for his new wall if you need an original Floral Court Dragon for yourself (I also have prints available)!
