I showed someone a photo of my room, and their response was “I thought this was a photo of a haunted house attraction at first”

I think. This is a success.

(This was the photo)

Another strange little animal painting, while I’m at it 🦌 (he’s maybe a bit dead) (I used a wood panel from a SUPER old abandoned barn as a canvas, so it’s… warped. Does not do well to be photographed)

"He stalks across the battlefield. His cloak flutters behind him like a wraith and despite the number of flashing lights passing by none seem to hit him. […] He’s barely recognisable. Like a copy of a painting, done well but it’s just not… Not quite right."

"Harry Potter hasn’t been seen in Britain for over twenty years. (That’s a lie, like most things about Harry Potter)."

dead things by the singular @shadow-of-the-eclipse was the first HP fan fiction I ever read and to this day I get goosebumps every time I reread it. an absolute masterpiece of fiction <3

I'm finally done

The 3.74 meter reticulated python is finally finished, I am extremely proud, I feel like a peacock

There were probably more than a thousand pieces and I still have a 2.5 meter burmese degreasing and two other snakes in the freezer waiting to be cleaned and articulated

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever found. Half of this deer’s face was partially mummified by direct exposure to the sun, and the other half was perfectly cleaned to the bone. He looks mythical, like some sort of death spirit. I cherish him dearly, he’s all cleaned up at home with me now (photos from last fall)

It took… a lot of strength to get all that mummified skin off. And there were so many maggots. I tried my very best not to hurt any of them in the process, I love those guys.

Analia the Bee

I made this after finding a bee that I thought was dead, but was actually still alive, barely.

I don't usually name my specimens, but I asked my best friend if she wanted a bee named after her and she said "yes" (btw her name is pronounced "ah-nah-LEE-ah", not "an-NAH-lia").

Of all the animals I've found, this one made me the saddest.

Here are some pictures of the bee right after I found it and thought it was dead:

And here are some pictures I took of it today:

Rest In Peace, small bee friend.

I have a whole series of these I'm working on and tweaking; they're intended for a paleolithic themed oracle deck (though I make no promises). This one is the most "ready" and complete - the raven.
