✨ We are Animals, Animals are Us. ✨

Animalfolk find their place in the world in my traditional mixed media explorations and fiction writing. Sometimes silly, sometimes serious, always real.

A moody painting of an anthro boer goat on a vibrant red and violet abstract field

A borzoi man and sphynx man, in gold and coppery green, shift through and past one another

A coyote figure in blue, red, green, and ochre yellow flexes their large and stylized hands, rendered in gestural and painterly strokes

A white coyote person looks behind them at their shiny latex-clad buttocks, painted on a scrap of leather

“Can you tell me what's in the middle there?”
“It's a bullet, right?”
“Yep, that's the bullet that killed the goat!”

Online shop is closed for con prep. Standing orders will go out before we leave for #BLFC!
I'm stoked for this con... I have signed books, free zines, new originals, and LOTS of cool collaborative metalwork @echomary.bsky.social and I have been making! Who will we see there?

I'm having so much fun laying beads of metal over @marandart.bsky.social's sketches!
Seriously, new favorite art technique unlocked, it feels so good to make these!

The fascists want you to be apathetic and hopeless. Don't give them what they want.

You get a fursona, and you get a fursona, and this abstract idea gets a fursona...
