Hi, I'm Neal! I am a fantasy sculptor of dragons, animals, and characters. You can find my work in my online shop where I maintain my own line of resin figures. I am also available for custom work.

A sculpture of a blue fluffy dragon rearing on his hind legs and pawing at the air.

Three tree dragon sculptures planted in pots. From front to back they are colored like the seasons summer (green), spring (pink), and autumn (orange).

A light blue dragon curls around a baby dragon colored like the trans pride flag. In the background is the trans pride flag.

A sculpture of the white wolf Amaterasu from the game Okami. She is leaping down onto a lily pad, kicking up swirls of cherry blossoms behind her.

The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing.

This most powerful story of Indigenous-led #rewilding after the largest dam removal in US history keeps getting better.

This frog is perfect for the moment because it is a completely useless but colorful stunt that does nothing but prove fascists are weird cowards and it makes for a great moral victory that libs can jerk over while more people are abducted.

Yes some of y'all are mad whiteness is no longer enough to protect you. The denial and exceptionalism that erases the embrace of anti-Black racial terror that got us here in the first place.

Gotta block and treat you like the quicksand you are and stay focused on where the REAL solidarity is.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

Serious shoutout to furries for being the internet's #1 art patrons. At a time when interest in original and niche art is at an all time low and many other art spaces are gone, I appreciate you guys showing up to boost original works, buy art pieces & comms, & get vocally invested in stories & OCs.

Flat illustration from 2022 of owls perched on a branch at night against a dark blue sky. The owls decrease in size as they get close stacked in front, while also growing bright orange. The effect resembles a flame. The owls, back to front (large to small) are Great Gray, Great Horned, Long-eared, Screech, and Saw-whet.

Just finished up this custom painted Sky Cat. I really love how it came out. I am currently closed for customs on these but will reopen for them in the new year.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.

why do we always forget about racism when it's against asians. anyway here's your reminder that "proship" and "anti" were born from anti japan racism.

Cassius ⭐ @kled.bsky.social · 2d

Sums it up nicely. Every time I see some "proship dni" in someone's bio I sigh heavily because most the time it doesn't mean anything at all.
