Meme with a pale green background showing three relationship status options written in black text: “single,” “taken,” and in red text, “a local cryptid.” A black dot fills the last checkbox, indicating that’s the chosen status. To the right, there’s an illustration of a humanoid cryptid with dark wings, long limbs, and glowing red eyes, resembling the folkloric “Mothman.” The humor plays on the trope of being elusive or mysterious instead of romantically available.

"Duke Archibald Featherwort the Third" Got some ideas when playing with the paint pens and decided to experiment. This is the result of that experimentation. #mixedmedia #collage #paintedcollage #handpainted #traditionalartist #collageart #collageartist #paintmarkers #artjournal #smallartist

Did something on a whim today after cleaning up my collage journal pages. Finally decorated the cover, My first attempt at anything actually detailed with paint markers. #paintpens #paintmarkers #sketchbookcover #journalcover #painting #traditionalart #painting #furryart #fursona #smallartist #art

"Sailing The Twilight Moon"
This was a personal tribute to a younger me. When I was a wee teen on the early years of the wild west of the internet during the times of forum based roleplaying. #collage #collageart #analogcollage #handcutcollage #cutandpaste #scissorspaperglue #smallartist

"Not Now, Mommy's Busy"
Experimenting with more techniques and trying to learn patience with my xacto knife is fun. Paint and hand-cut magazine on board. #collage #collageart #collageartist #analogcollage #cutandpaste #paperscissorsglue #handcutcollage #smallartists

"Mind of The Pisces" my first collage piece available to sell <3 My partner encouraged me to start making pieces that I would be willing to sell originals of so this is the first one that came together for that.

"War on Humanity"
I've felt my art taking a more... opinionated form lately, and I'm not entirely upset about it. As a traditional artist, I am very anti-generative AI and for very good reason. Support small artists, help someone live their dreams.

Just... put it in a box. And then in true adhd fashion, you'll forget it existed. That's how this works, right?

Yeeessss! I love when you just get in the flow and start putting the pieces together like "no, this needs to *here* and I need to use *this* cut out like this "

I couldn't agree more! At first, I get an idea with the base image I want to use and then just start letting it come together in its own way. I can never preplan a piece. It only ever seems to come through in the moments I'm working on it.

I call this one "Waiting on God To Answer" It took an interesting turn as I was making it and ended up being way more personal than intended but it was healing.

I couldn't help myself. I Received new collage materials from my Spirit Mom and one of the images in what she sent was too perfect to not make a tribute to my favorite Ghibli movie. <3

Thank you so much! I mean, it can be pretty easy it's just a matter of cutting things in a way that works. I just go with the flow and let things come together naturally lol
