It's #portfolioday! I'm a freelance artist using multiple mediums, specializing in book illustration and sculpture. I'd like to illustrate more books and I work with pencil, ink, paint, digital, and a combination of mediums! My sculptures can be seen and bought online or at fine art shows I vend.

Set up my drill press stand and am now updating my sculpture bases, using two pins for additional stability! The base is made from brass rods and oiled sapele wood, the sculpture is paper mache as always. 🐳 This sculpture and many others can be found at shop.crumplings.co.uk! :)

hi! I'm Spoon! I draw for fun and also to share my work with like-minded folks. my interests are varied and cyclical.

Tryin to sell 20 frogs today to try and get on track for some of these surprise bills flowing through the ether today... I'm at 2/20 sold I also gotta get fish on my website - if you're interested in a fish just shoot me a DM www.figmentpudding.com

I'll be adding some of these new black oak zipper pouches to our shop next week. The ones I have on hand will be available at fursquared this weekend. They have zippers on the back. Small size is good for keys, coins, earplugs etc. & large size will hold wallet stuff! #bsnm #crafts #handmade #art

This was where they belonged. Atleast, they thought they did. That’s strange – something changed. Was there less green before? They couldn’t quite put their fin on it. The trees whispered ‘adapt and survive’ on the wind and it felt right. "Fish in a Forest", 12in tall, mixed media gourd & clay.

If you're cold, they're cold. Bring them inside! 😜 Stay warm everyone! I got a foot of snow, biggest snowfall in 35 years here. AAAAA. Little sasquatch is coming with me to my upcomimg art show! 💕 #sasquatch #bigfoot #snow #artdoll #art #artist

I contain mountainous volumes of unfathomable existential anxiety & also whimsy

A song in the dark. Connections. #skulldogart

I hope everyone is staying warm! The chaos boar might help. She's the duality of nature, the inferno and freeze, chaos before the reset. "Chaos", boar sculpted with apoxie sculpt on a gourd. Painted with acrylics. She'll debut at my gallery show coming in February! #art #sculpture #fire #ice

Tick tock… accountability is coming.

Find safety, Fight for it, Protect your Home 3 of my new pieces that'll be available at my upcoming gallery show, "Hidden Messages and Fairy Tales", at the Piedmont Craftsmen gallery. February 6 - March 27th. All made from gourds, epoxy clay, and acrylic painted. #gourd #art #fight #rat #artist

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Now announcing my upcoming show titled Hidden Messages and Fairy Tales. This exhibit will be at the Piedmont Craftsmen Gallery at 601 Trade St NW, Winston-Salem NC. The artist's reception will be February 7th, 4:30-6:30pm. Come see it if you're in the area! #gallery #artshow #art #artwork #artist

Ice sucks! Help me raise money for good things. 1. Donate to an immigrant rights org like www.ilcm.org 2. Send me a picture of the receipt. Every $5 is an entry. I knit these mittens and I will draw a name on 1/17/26 and send these to the winner. We’ve already raised $165! Can we make it to $300?

It is your civic duty to not only block ICE , DHS, et al, on Bluesky, but report them as well. Report them every day if you have to.

I'm painting my butt off and I remembered to take photos for once! This and more will be debuting at my upcoming gallery show (details to be announced!) "Another Time", 3.5" wide, made of a gourd, apoxie clay, and glass eyes. Painted with acrylics. #cat #art #artist #artwork #sculpture #siamese
