Check out my super fancy new business cards. Decided I didn't want to pull out my ratty old wallet for tarot tips, so I'm going with a Crown Royal bag and a business card holder. I decorated a portable chair. I'm a cardboard sign away from sitting in the park to offer readings.

Pulled the King of Pentacles as a tarot art prompt, so I'm leaning in to the Santa interpretation and am making Christmas cards. This time dressing up Bob the Skull means I'm also revealing the other side of the Winter King, the Lord of Death. I guess that makes him Hades, again.

Here's some of the spooky season "Silent Sunday" pics I'm throwing up on Mastodon today. These were taken in NYC and Rhode Island, cemeteries around here are boring.

I keep looking at this one and remembering the time I disqualified for an art scholarship because in my "lifelike" drawing, my pears were blue. It was much more realistic than the rest of the portfolio, but oh well. Alas, portraying things realistically just isn't any fun.

Cool, Redbubble has holographic stickers now, so I get to offer you even prettier skull art in little affordable minatures! Buy any 4 and get 25% off.

Freddie "The Formerly Feral" Mercury's kitten tooth :)

And for the last of today's store updates, I have a pair of drawings that will always make me smile, because I used my 9 week old rescued stray kitten as an art supply.

There are mousepads, so a kitty can be catching your mouse, and a fishy shaped pet food mat. Go crazy cat ladies, go!

Here's another lovely lady you can get a print of, if you so desire :)

Yup, I seem to enjoy dressing up my skulls, there will be more in this style :).

Persephone and Hades, The Lord and Lady of the Underworld are now for sale. These are the first of several drawings I've been working on for a few traditionally drawn colored pencil pieces for art prints, rather than things I drew so I could have a cool tote bag or mug.

I am both cheered by the fact that this site filled in some keywords for me and a description (you can tell that's not my words because no 80s slang is in there - I'll fix that), and creeped out that this thing saw the infinity symbol. It's like a reminder that my art will now be out there to be eaten by all those prompting AI with those lovely keywords all helpfully filled in for me.

Neighbor twins gave me some spooky glam.

Turns out I won't have the money to get the art scanned until I figure something out, and I already have the 6 pieces I committed myself to, and I STILL can't stop working on these like I'll get fired if I miss a deadline.

Hold up, the sim in that ad for the next expansion is holding a tarot card!

Now that I've finished the 6 11x17 pieces I've been working on nonstop, I'm supposed to come out of the studio and work on my writing projects and chores. But I want to see this....

I feel motivated to tell you more about my partner in art crimes, Bob. Bob is not a Halloween decoration. Bob is a replica, the cast of someone's skull who donated their body to science. This is apparent with a quick glance at "his" uneven teeth (those who catch the reference get "his" inherent androgyny). Bob was alive. I always know that when I draw, and "he" gets candy, costumes, and booze on occasion. Again, Bob was alive. Don't worry. They still get to party, when hanging with me.

Done. Now I have to find a place to scan them. And the other 4 pics I've done this summer (including tracing the kitten).

He is starting to look rather patriotic.

By the way, the thing I've been working on that has been stalling my doing tarot readings is this couple, right here. I'm going slowly and carefully, but avoiding all distraction. When they're done, I'll have 6 11x17 pieces to get professionally scanned, then I might tweak all of them digitally. So readings might open mid October.

I was going to spread out my new tarot deck out and show you, but they are slippery, and I am lazy so here you go. Waterproof, bendable, peeps can shuffle them like a deck of cards.
