Apparently it’s #PortfolioDay so here is some of my work 👽 I’m into creature design, surrealism, fantasy, vibrant colors, symbolism, and wildlife with some fanart thrown in for good measure. Oil on canvas or digital paint, no AI

Surreal oil painting depicting the joy of my gender confirmation surgery

A deep sea being wearing a seaweed sash and a red robe/skirt belted with a megalodon tooth belt buckle

A blanket octopus wielding jellyfish. Two dogfish swim by above and red antler coral grows beneath

Mr. Buttons OFMD fanart based on ye old 3 wolves howling at the moon shirt. Text reads “ Sea Witch O ‘Th’ Moonglow”

Evey the dilute calico and the oil painting Blue Gorgon did of her

Evey being a silly squishy face while playing with a toy on a blue chair

Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes huge increases in spending on ICE and immigrant detention.

It's the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.

To actually make communities safer, we should be spending on housing, education, and healthcare instead.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Picture of crowds with signs in front of the Colorado Springs City Hall during the No Kings protests

The view from the front of the No Kings protest just north of City Hall in downtown Colorado Springs. The crowd of roughly 12000 people stretched from this spot south to Uintah.

The secret to my native gardening success

On the left, some bugs and the text "Thank you for leaving the weeds for us to feed and live in" and in the right a gardener and the text "I am too lazy to clear out the weed" and caption says "Biodiversity can be achieved through executive dysfunction"

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

I stayed up late illustrating something for no real reason. I definitely didn't give out a google drive link with a high res version of it among friends and family for printing purposes.

Illustration of a massively pissed off bald eagle ripping apart a golden crown with its talons, the words NO KINGS in bold font is over its wings

I wasn’t sure if I was up for it physically but I need to be a part of this, chronic pain and depression be damned. Printed two posters of my 2016 painting with #NoKings added for my double sided sign. #PoliticalArt #QueerArtist #ProtestSigns

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Do you hear the crickets sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of an insect that will not be squashed again.

The cover for trade paperback of the NYT bestseller Absolution, the fourth in the Southern Reach series, out in October. Changes from the hardcover put the image into the same style as the 10th anniversary editions of Annihilation, Authority, & Acceptance. There's also a new intro by Julia Armfield!

Deconstructed gator all morphed and with pieces falling off in vibrant greens and blues.
