If you're still having trouble finding a porcelain grub to call your own, may I suggest staking out the nearest colony of pink feathermoss, where they often go and writhe on the soft strands to polish their patterned carapace.

It's a portal. It's a mirror. A dimension simultaneously outside time and inside every living being, the patterns that connect us: Daze and deviation. ✶✦✹

This painting is the first of my Pattern Cats series on a larger scale, at 12x12 inches on a hand shaped aluminum panel. The cat's checkered fur is repeated in the check patterns of a golden Betta fish, glowing caterpillar, orchid-like flowers, and fuzzy moth, while the remaining plants and creatures reveal soft stripes and dots.

I wanted the scene to live at the very edge of gentle calm and buzzing excitement, as if we are on the cusp of seeing the fish complete its lazy rotation while a gust of wind sets the plants in motion, startling the moths into flight. Clouds will shift, whiskers will twitch, and the snail will complete its slow journey to the next leaf, all in perfect balance and harmony. I hope you see it too!

Find a tea grub, pick it up,
Then all day you have good luck.
Pour the water, let it steep,
Tasty tea to help you sleep.

Your worst fears confirmed: the SPIDERS have BICYCLES! ... Also are absolutely gigantic with huge cat heads and pointy fangs....
Tumblr media
☠️ Happy Spooky Season 🕷️ Hehehehh. This teeny painting is one of three concept studies I made while brainstorming for the upcoming Cute and Creepy show at Hive Gallery. Because of course cats are cute, and spiders like to creep. And I happened to be in the midst of re-reading "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky, which I highly recommend as a wild scifi epic detailing the last of humanity's escape from a dying Earth, and the distant rise of a spider civilization. The scene with spider astronauts made me cry -- there's no way you can come away from that book without falling in love with those thangs. Seriously, I was ready for the human race to go extinct if it meant keeping Spider Planet™ alive and well. Anyway! This darling has already been claimed, but you can head over to my site to pick up one of the remaining kitty critters!

Reminisce with the best! It's a painting video 🧡

Deep in the Lookyloo Forest dwells the rarest of confections, a treat for the eyes and the senses. The strange... the wonderful... the night blooming... banana split. 🍌
A tiny slice of a major Wood Bot adventure! I was having a really nice time re-reading '4 Fantastic Novels' by Daniel Pinkwater, which I hadn't picked up since I was a kid. At the end of 'Borgel', on a small island on the outskirts of Hell, young Melvin and his dimension hopping uncle get to meet god... also known as The Great Popsicle, a being of pure goodness and light that is also literally a little orange popsicle dancing beautifully through the fields. It's so funny and charming and I was ready to paint Wood Bot observing The Great Popsicle itself, but ultimately decided it would be too small to make an impact here. It did however lead to the discovery of the night blooming banana split, which I would imagine carries a small piece of The Great Popsicle in its spirit.

✨ The Stellar Stella ✨
Here is the last of a three part commission featuring the collector's cats in fantasy colors. Turning a brown tabby into a green bean might be the biggest shift of the three, except... have you ever had your cell phone accidentally take some really green tinted pictures? And did you know green things grow from the brown earth? With that in mind it makes perfect sense.

May I interest you in a beautiful Olive?
That's right! This kitty's name is Olive! And she's the second in a three part commission painting the collector's cats with fantasy colors. For this piece I amped up her pale skin and natural calico coloring into hot pink, neon orange, and dark purple. Her eyes really are big and blue, I just added some sparkly paint ☻

✶ Hellooo Friday! ✶ What better time than International Cat Day to share the first of a three part commission featuring a collector's cats in fantasy colors. Friday is a black cat whose natural coloring was amplified with a cobalt and fuchsia shine, and big glowing green eyes. I love projects like this!
