maybe i'm insane but isn't the way its wings are shimmering in the sunlight kind of nice. like i know it's a cockroach but consider for a second that it's also just a bug trying to do its thing

once again trying to move some paintings to clear up my studio space! most of these insects are referenced from my own insect collection. everything here is priced at $55 and 8x10 inches, except for letter B, which is $45 and 8x8 inches. Everything comes with hanging wire for wall display. If interested please message me the letter in the top left corner of the piece you’re interested in and we can figure out shipping and payment. thank you so much, boosts appreciated!

It's always bothered me that when people adapt Kafka's Metamorphosis they depict Gregor Samsa as a roach. Cockroaches do not undergo metamorphosis. They are born as nymphs which are just smaller wingless versions of the adult form.

Kafka writes that Gregor can only enjoy rotten food. Which also makes him not at all roach-like. Roaches strongly prefer fresh vegetables to rotten ones.

And, of course, he gets stuck on his back, not something roaches struggle with nearly as much as beetles.

That's why always imagined him as a beetle. Which implies that the man Gregor was a larvae for all his pre-bug life. I thought that was the whole point of the story... We're all grubs, but Gregor reached the next stage though sadly none of the grubs in his family could understand him.

if were all catpeople there would be trans catboy forums devoted to how to dye over calico markings so you can pass better and another group of trans catboys who insisted that the only way to deal with it is to normalize catboys having calico markings. the discourse would be insane

I didn't realize that I had been obscuring Johnny's face so much in my last few artworks, so now you get to see him!
