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

A little Seti content to help everyone get through this Tuesday

The man, the myth, the legend: Mothman
An illustration of a flying Mothman. He is airborne and has a dark body with red webbing in his wings and red antenna. His face is pale with his mouth twisted in an open scream, his eyes are wide and are red. The background is a pale pink

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

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!

Doing my annual rewatch of this tonight🐈‍⬛

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

He gets even more distressed if you cry laugh

He means well
samanthamash.bsky.social
If you laugh too hard in my house my cat will think something is wrong and go crawl up onto you, headbutt and meow at you over and over until you stop

Thank you so much! It was a fun one to draw

When I was in Portugal I saw a lot of statues of Hippocampi and I got in my head then that I would draw one for Monster Mashtober ones day. I’m happy that I finally got around to it
samanthamash.bsky.social
The Hippocampus is a mythical creature with the front of a horse and the back half of a fish. They've been portrayed by cultures from the Ancient Greeks to the Picts and beyond

My take here is partly based on a black-figure amphora from the 6th century BCE that currently is displayed in the Louvre
An illustration of a red Hippocampus (a mythical creature half horse and half fish) with a pale strip down its body, pale fins, and a pale mane. It is in profile with its neck tucked in towards its body and mouth open. The background is a light peachy pink
