Undercover opossum
It's worth noting that I ended up having *EXACTLY* three full opossum teeth sets worth of thermal plastic left. (That's 150 teeth, if you're counting, cause I sure was.)

Three designs from my in progress tarot deck.

Pink pony club opossum, because drawing opossums helps calm the nerves.

Have you seen the Black Devil Anglerfish in daylight, swimming to the surface? People romanticized her story: a symbol of the divine feminine rising or she sought a light she didn't have to make herself before she died.

I will see the sunshine, or I will die trying.

As long as I'm on the topic of opossums, here's a sweetie I painted last year that hasn't made it on this platform yet. Opossums freeze up and "play dead" (although its actually involuntary) when they feel threatened or surprised and you know what? Honestly, same. I know the feeling.

Another emotional support opossum.* The horrors persist but so do the opossums.

(*I swear this isn't purely an opossum posting account, I'm just hyperfixated.)

Another Emotional Support Opossum. This sweet lil screaming baby was claimed immediately and already has a new home.

Sometimes I draw opossums to cope with stress. I foresee many opossums coming these days.

I just got a push notification on tiktok saying I had 44 messages waiting. Spooky. It was like being reached out to from beyond the grave.

Posting my last Tiktok here, because I guess this is the place to be now?

Another one of the 3 paper tigers I made recently. I plan on doing a larger scale paper mache project for a show next summer so these have been great practice pieces to get back into the swing of things

Had a small mental breakdown a couple weeks ago and tried to fend it off by diving into a random craft. A paper mache tiger inspired by the one from Animal Crossing.

Literally just finished reading Piranesi and loved every moment in the labyrinth, peeling back layers of this small strange story.
Piranesi, I realized in this, my second read, is my favorite book. Don’t research. Just go read it. It’s short.

If you’ve read before, and are considering rereading, I’ll remind you that The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; it’s Kindness infinite.

I make bright garish colorful art with too many eyes and teeth. Get into it.

Well I'm here now. A fresh new void to shout into.
