15 years of the line it is drawn! prompt-1 Marvel, 1 DC, 1 from another company, & 1 non-comic pop culture. So Red tornado, vision, atomic Robo, and Astro boy as suggested by @johnnyunusual.bsky.social . #liid #tliid #TheLineItIsDrawn #LineItIsDrawn #AstroBoy #Vision #redtornado #AtomicRobo

Another new piece! I love using found materials. Things from nature or just things discovered. Dried roses. Discarded nests. Hundred year-old nails found in the dirt. This will also be at busker Fest this weekend. #merk #merkart #foundart #naturalart #nails #driedroses #nest #robinsnest
