Hello blue sky! I am JD Donnelly, author and artist behind Painting Dragon Feathers, and I specialize in #creatures real, extinct, and fantastical with #book #illustrations, #dioramas, faux #fossils and silicone mold #resin casting, #tattoo designs, and more! Nice to meet you! #artist #newtobluesky
The Painting Dragon Feathers Booth is all set up at P1 on the lower level of Scifi Valley Con! Come on down to check out the plot bunnies, cryptids, and CryptoZoo!

Stop by for a rip-roaring time as two newlyweds and some Gearbox Union peeps judge the datability of some of fandom’s most swoon worthy characters.

🍁We can’t wait to see ya’ll and all the amazing cosplays! Stop by the Painting Dragon Feathers booth for ConQuests, artwork, terrariums, books!
🎉Along with the booth in the usual spot at P1 on the lower level and slinging quests for the ConQuest, I will be presenting 3 panels throughout the weekend—“Devil’s Advocate, How to Write a ‘Good’ Villain”, Creative Writing Soundboard, and debuting for an inaugural run at Scifi Valley—Date or Dump!
👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️Coming fresh off sabbatical, we’ve been super busy getting married, and I’m only now just getting my head above water from the wedding chaos. But I couldn’t ask for a better husband to sail through the chaos with. 🥰
🍂Hey there peeps! Painting Dragon Feathers will be at Scifi Valley Con Fall this weekend in Altoona PA!
Hello! 👋 After a small break we are back to socialize, with new people on our team.

🫂 We are excited to build a community and reach out to many new creature enthusiasts! Perhaps we might even encounter a cryptid or two as well... 👽

🗣️ Feel free to say hello in the comments!~ 🗣️
Downside to having to block print 150 bandanas—finding space for them all to dry. Fortunately it doesn’t take them long to dry to touch, so I can print them in batches.

While I am prioritizing recharging on sabbatical, I am chugging away at wedding prep/crafting—including ice tie-dying some wedding favors. 😉 I may see more tie-dying in my future cause this is fun!

Yikes! I hope you’re recovering well yourself! And thanks for checking in!
I will be online less frequently during my mini-sabbatical, but you can always DM me and the Painting Dragon Feathers online shop will remain open with existing stock if you’d like to check it out. Info in bio.
Learn from my folly—take care of your physical and mental health and don’t get crispy from burn out like I did.
Cosplayers assemble! Tag yourself or others if you recognize them. And thank you everyone who came by the Painting Dragon Feathers booth!

The Shallan cosplayer made my fiancé’s and I’s con, and we made her’s by recognizing her. XD
All set up in the Otakon 2025 Artist Alley! Stop by for all kinds of creature goodies, from Poke’Ball Terrariums, Plot Bunnies, faux fossils, and author-signed copies of CryptoZoo!

Both of these Genres and all the others have been restocked and will be flying to the Otakon artist alley this weekend. Find us at the Painting Dragon Feathers booth at H212.
Two new Genres of Plot Bunnies have been added to the flock—Murder Mystery for those who are fans of the gorier cousin of Mystery, and Poetry for those who like stanzas of flowery words. (I really dig how Poetry’s color scheme ended up looking very K-pop Demon Hunter, lol)
