heh totally not boasting here... but @ascalaphid made this awesomesauce art for me for a donation to their ko-fi!!! consider donating some and asking for a cool art!!!!! look at their profile first though... there's already so much awesome stuff. I love their bug drawings, beautiful and awesomesauce and I love their artstyle.... the creases bring The Things to life... I can feel the coarse shell of the anomalowizard by just looking at it... what a ridiculous creature. I love it. it's my child now. or my sibling. or my inspiration. everything all at once.

also if one of you would like to download it you're free to do so. I think? as long as you go into my DMS and describe it with a cool adjective or verb or a word as payment, I know, expensive, but you must. the reblogs with tags of the word are allowed too ig. you have to btw you are obligated to describe the creature with a word before taking a piece of it's soul for yourself and enjoying it. yeap. you have to. think of a word and look at it. and describe it with a reblog. or a DM. thamk you I love you

My shift in @ascalaphid’s hydraphone (telephone) art challenge where I spun the bug subject matter into a humble providing mother shopping for her children

The embargo is up! Here's my piece for the wonderful @pythosart's Genrephone, a telephone with a twist - we draw out piece how we like, but we MUST change the genre!

I decided to go with a Prog Rock Album Cover! Interestingly, whilst I believe myself to be a certified Music Liker, my knowledge of Prog Rock is admittedly entry level. But, TWO THINGS are for certain!

The band "Eden" have approximately 18 albums with a middling fanbase, but "Return to Eden" managed to break through and get some mild commercial appeal. It resided proudly on the "1001 Albums to Hear Before You Die List", and is promptly ignored by virtue of being near Pink Floyd's entries

Anthony Fantano gave it a low 5/1

(My buddy @/ascalaphid has the whole game hosted on his website and you should check it out Right Now)

My entry for an art telephone hosted by @ascalaphid! This one had the twist of multiple teams going off the first image. You can see how each team evolved here :)

This stupid dickey (false shirtfront, but it's obviously funnier to call it a dickey) took forever and we're not even going to see 90% of it.

Also Puppy Bean 621 ended up looking like Mothman.

The mothman sticker is from ascalaphid's shop on ko-fi.

I have this bigass tub of misprint stickers that I can't get rid of fast enough so I'm seeing if people want to just get a packet of random misprints every month for a few bucks.

Stickers are mostly around 3 inches, and have defects in either the colors, registration/outline, or lamination, or are unlaminated, or some combination of the above. There won't be any duplicates within in individual order but you'll probably end up with dupes after a while (especially brother gregor stickers. I have so many of those)
