So this was the unanswered messages in my ask box a couple of days ago:

and this is the unanswered messages in my ask box today,

and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has said such nice things about the season, and I'm sorry to everyone who had emotions they weren't expecting, and I'm impressed that so many of you have theories and don't plan to answer, validate or really even comment on any of them, but mostly I'm just sorry because I probably won't read whatever you've sent, not because I don't want to but because if I was doing nothing but reading Tumblr asks as a full time job I still wouldn't catch up with the thousands of asks coming in.

I'm glad you care.

nonsense, really. very like the fairy tale where the princess gives her selfless love to the prince who is enchanted and he is himself again and the monster no more. (the vampire lestat, 1985)

A wonderful colleague moved on to another job last week, and I will miss her so much! So I made her this tiny wooden angel to look out for her. . . . . #woodentoys #woodensculpture #tinysculpture #acrylic #painting #fauxmarquetry #angel #gaurdianangel #foundobjectart #assemblage #tinyart #artistsoninstagram #sculptureoninstagram #coworkersandfriends https://instagr.am/p/CdCRw_VMVu0/

“How many times do I have to tell you to PAY ATTENTION!” A little sketch I’ve been working on.

A little late-at-night doodle I’ve been working on. Ink drawing with no plan is very relaxing. This is just a little holiday soirée in some more fantastical place. I wish I was invited 😭 #lineart #penandink #drawing #holidayseason #holidayparty #fantasyart #spaceandtime #stars #doodle #micronpen https://instagr.am/p/CXXxTE-s3rl/

once again why did we let masquerade balls and handwritten letters and heart lockets and daggers strapped to thighs go out of fashion

This week I had a little time off and painted this portrait of an extraterrestrial friend. Acrylic and heavy gesso on 16” x 20” canvas given to me by @stewartstevensart. The gesso was loaned to me by @rjianxi so I could try it out! Thanks y’all! . . . . . #alien #acrylicpainting #gesso #extraterrestrials #ufo #alienart #painter #artistsoninstagram https://instagr.am/p/CUdiRBhMKyl/

I recently finished this little brooch pin of a WWI aviator. I made a silicone mold of the face from an abandoned shepherd figurine that was left at my work, then cast it in resin, and then thought he would make a good aviator! So I built the helmet from epoxy putty, air brushed it, and then painted it with layers of acrysol glaze and acrylic to mimic Majolica or Staffordshire porcelain. Finished it up with some clear epoxy for the glasses. This was a project that just developed with a mind of its own. I’ve also been reading a lot of WWI fiction lately so that probably subconsciously inspired it, ha! As you can see, the back is MUCH uglier than the front. 😂 . . . . . . . #brooch #pin #handmadejewelry #sculpture #wwi #aviator #jewelrymaking #atlasepoxy #resinart #resinjewelry #mustache #britishaviator #wwiaviator #majolica #staffordshirepottery #artist #pin #fauxporcelain #retrojewelry https://instagr.am/p/CTSbxVRJrSz/
