Napoleon and His Staff by Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier
This is so massive that my husband had to make a special solo trip to the next state to pick it up from the framer's (3 kids now and 2 large dogs take up the whole car as it is)
I'm late with this for sooo many reasons, and I was meaning to finish him for @clonefandomevents' Trans Clone Week.... but I've still made better time with this one than with Cody at least ^^;
Belongs to a small collection with Ace!Wolffe from last June
The giant pacu is an enormous and successful piranha species... that is thankfully vegetarian!
This mermaid is a fantastic example of a fish that has human-mimicking traits as part of being a mermaid, but has no pressure to attract humans. Modern mermaids do not prey on humans, and thus are open to a wide range of wonderful physiques and appearances.
At the peak of human-mermaid conflict, mermaids closely resembled the conventionally attractive feminine "ideal" of their region's humans. Things are much more interesting and wonderful since peace was made.

I know that Rafael and the other kids aren't present (yet?) in this series, but there's something about a horrifying alien robot being "friends" with a human that just made me go nuts creatively. :3
Saype, born Guillaume Legros, is a French artist living in Bulle, Switzerland. A self-taught artist, Saype’s giant biodegradable artworks adorn fields, are best seen by drones and last only days. The artist is represented by MTArt Agency since 2018. Beginning his career as a young graffiti artist, Saype’s work quickly gained recognition and became highly sought after, resulting in him landing his first gallery exhibition at age 16. Saype is a pioneer of the land art movement, focusing upon large scale biodegradable paintings with strong social messages.
Using 100% biodegradable paint composed of water, chalk, coal and casein, Saype’s ephemeral land artwork disappears after a month due to regrowth of the grass it is painted upon, the weather and the passage of visitors. With each project he completes, his recognition grows, capturing the attention of those on social media as well as landing extensive global media coverage. Career highlight for Saype have included gaining thanks from the Swiss President, Doris Leuthard, for the social vision of his art, in 2017, and following that in 2018, the publication of his book, ‘Green Art’, which highlights the innovative qualities of the biodegradable paint Saype has created.
Coworker: You know, you were talking about that book the other day at lunch, and I kinda wanted to read it.
Me: What book?
Coworker: The Hobbit.
Me: You’ve never read the Hobbit?!?!? Did you get it??
Coworker: I started last night and I’m already almost to the end…..I’m starting to feel strangely sad thinking about all the time I wasted being “too cool” to read for pleasure when I was younger. I wish I had known about this book when I was a teenager - it would have changed my life, I think. There’s just something about this story that I really love. It’s, like, comforting??
Me, trying not to get emotional: Yeah…the Hobbit really does that to you.
