I think if I were a mythical creature this is sort I’d be. Wandering around, asking people riddles, and eating those who fail them. What sort of mythical creature do you think you’d be?

The wingless Sphinx hasn’t notice you…yet. So you still have time to prepare for her riddles

We will see, but what will happen is how I make a living will shift a little again. After every step of the last few years being so shaky, I’m looking forward to a smoother direction

My life seems to change very significantly every four or five years since I was eleven, and that cycle is coming up again

It is both scary and somehow also grounding, but I’m mostly leaning into a hope that I will not have to work as much as I have for the past few years

Take ten seconds out of your life and make someone's job easier, not harder

Seeing the guy who couldn't be bothered to put his used dishes in the bus bin when I was getting coffee (instead putting it in front of the cashier while they were working a rush) have his tea spill all over him was truly the cosmic justice I needed today as a former barista/food industry girl

Seti is now 15 and a half and he is missing a lot of teeth so his tongue comes out the side when he grooms himself lately

Thank you friend, it is always a nice break for me from what I normally get to draw

Samantha Mash @samanthamash.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you!☺️

Samantha Mash @samanthamash.bsky.social · 3d

Honestly that is a huge compliment, anytime I can make something folks maybe aren’t that into/neutral on as a concept—but enjoy as a piece of art I made is high praise!

Thank you!!

I had the absolute honor of getting to make a piece for the
@gallerynucleus.bsky.social Over the Garden Wall 10th Anniversary Tribute Show

I believe this piece is being made into a print with the gallery so keep your eyes peeled, give them a follow! The opening reception will be on Nov 2nd🎃

Fan art for Over the Garden Wall. The illustration shows a cart with pumpkins being ridden by a black cat and a pumpkin man with a pitchfork walking next to the cart. The cart is being pulled by two turkeys, and behind them is a pumpkin woman and a pumpkin headed skeleton holding hands. There is a candy scattered on the ground and a small duck and frog are walking with the procession. The background is of a bucolic scene with rolling fields with early morning mist
