I Do Like Strange Faerie Concepts And Taxidermy. Have Both.

A small humanoid that is bird from the throat down. Turquoise and royal blue wings pinned just slightly away from her sides with red sewing pins at the elbow and wingtip. Tail feathers compressed and rigid. Her chest feathers are golden and still, a red pin through the center of her chest. Another pierces just above her sternum. A bob of blue hair frames her slightly surprised, glazed eyes. A trickle of blue runs from her mouth, down her chin. The paper backing is rough and purplish off-white. A slip of paper above her head reads: M. faerie. All is contained in a shining brown frame on a dark brown background.

I do like strange faerie concepts and taxidermy. Have both.

Little bit of style experimentation. A bit fuzzier.

Image ID: Young person sitting on the ground with one knee up and an arm resting on it. The other arm is propping them up for support. They wear hiking boots, jeans, and a puffer jacket with a fur hood. They have long, black hair in a ponytail and a slightly confused expression.

A queen playing card divided in half by a diagonal black line. that ends just a little above the bottom left corner and just a little to the left of the top right corner. The bottom fourth of the page is a field of snow, and above it is a dark blue sky with scattered white stars. The middle third of the canvas is covered with geometric pine trees textured with darker green lines. Near the right edge on the midline on the painting is a pink crescent moon. The bottom right is dominated by the front half of running gray wolf with a diamond red eye, sharp white teeth, and a lolling red tongue. The top left is dominated by a running woman with short black hair that frames her face and covers her eyes. Her mouth is a straight line. Her back arm and leg are hidden. Her gray skirt hikes above her raised knee. She wears black leggings, a red-brown belt and a black, long sleeved shirt. Her front elbow is bent and her arm is raised. The bicep bears a white triangular pauldron with a red brown strap. Her hand is bared despite the cold. A red hood covers her ears and the cape billows out behind her. It is trimmed with gray wolf fur and bound with a white tooth secured with black strap. In the upper left and bottom right corner, there is a capital Q shaped like a diamond and made of scratches. In the upper right and lower left there is a geometric heart with four red scratch marks through it.

Another day, another red riding hood concept. This time in playing card form. Love the queen card.

A little raeda to tide you through the hiatus.

Image Id: Eda in harpy form bridal carries Raine Whispers in the sky. Eda’s wings are spread out behind her. Raine and Eda are kissing. Raine holds Eda’s face with one hand and the other rests in their lap. Behind them is a sunset that goes from purple to pink to orange to gold. The purple is studded with lavender stars. Yellow, purple, and peach clouds fill the sky behind them.

The first four pages of a zine. The background of all pages is cream paper with blue lines. The top page says Classroom Monsters! in black letters. The M in monsters is covered in blue fur with two teeth at the bottom of the M. Below that it says Ari Coester and @astro-axolotl. Around the edges of the paper are a piece of each of the monsters in the pages of the books. Clockwise from top: an insect mouth with sharp teeth, a blue snail tail leaving a trail of dark purple glittery slime, two eyes on stalks, two triangular horns, an insect leg, and a scaly tail with a yellow paper airplane on the tail.
The next page is titled Munch Box in red. It is an orange lunch box with a red devil tail, blue furry legs with white claws, and a red forked tongue coming out from between sharp teeth. It has two cream horns near a gold handle. Its eye stares at the viewer. The text below reads "looks like a lunch box to trick you into putting food into it. DO NOT FEED!!"
The next page says Pencil Eater in Red. It is a red pencil sharpener with 4 black insect legs on the left and two on the right. The hole of the sharpener has three sharp teeth, two on top and one on bottom. A crest of pencil shaving comes out of the back. Two eyes on stalks are on the opposite side of the hole and stare back at the viewer. The text below says: "Eats pencil lead. Keeps wood shaving on back to look bigger. "
The last page is titled Eraser Crab in red. It's a pink pencil eraser topper with an eye in the hole and a small red semi-circular mouth beneath it. In the mouth is a pencil shaving. It has eight red legs, four on each side. The text below says "scavenge pencil shavings. switch eraser shells as they get bigger."

The last three pages of the zine. The top page is titled Spider Plant. It is a terracota pot with a succulent in the dirt. The center bud of the succulent is red purple and the rest of the leaves are green. The pot has one large eye and two stickers: a star and a rainbow. It has 8 legs arranged in a circle around the water catching dish. The text below says "gives the plant a home in exchange for sugars. Plant also helps camouflage."
The next page is titled in red "Paper Griffen". It's a yellow paper airplane with blue squiggles drawn all over it and an eye near the nose. Two orange bird legs with sharp talons are curled beneath the body. A green scaled tail comes from the central crease and curls around the plane. The tip has a smaller paper air plane. There are black motion lines near the tail. The text reads "can't fly, only glide. uses tail for steering." The last page is titled in red Snue. It's a purple glitter glue bottle with slightly off Elmer's branding and lettering. The orange cap has two eyes on blue stalks coming out of it. The foot of the snue comes out of the underside of the bottle. It is light blue and leaves behind a trail of purple glitter glue. The small text reads "Can pull whole body into bottle for safety. Leaves behind a glittery slime trail."

A silly comic about some monsters that live in classrooms. Look more closely at your school supplies.

The top part of a red brick building with two rows of balconies, each with three glass doors leading inside. The bannisters are black iron bars. In the top left balcony, a person with long pink hair leans against the front bannister. She wears a purple leather jacket, blue jeans, and black combat boots, and stares off in the distance. A cigarette hangs in between her left index and middle finger. Smoke rises towards the dawn sky. In the background, the Denver skyline stands beneath the gray Rockies.

A morning cigarette after a party.

A portrait of a dear friend.

Image ID: A dark skinned boy with bright red hair playing a bone flute. He wears a golden circlet with a braid pattern and matching gold bracelets. He has a green shirt with gold stitching on the sleeve ends and the collar. The stitches make x’s. A goldfinch covers his eyes. Two more fly around him. A full moon casts purple light in the background. A scattering of stars surround the moon. The sky transitions to purple at the top of the canvas to gold at the bottom.

A white mug sits on a wooden table in the morning sun. Inside the mug, there is a small coral reef with green, pink, yellow, and purple corals and anemones. Above the reef, many fish in the same colors swim. Near the top of the water, a school of five eagle rays swims near the right edge of the mug and a black tipped reef shark swims near the left edge. The water's surface ripples and shimmers. On the outside of the mug's left side, a white hand rests. A black sweater pools around its wrist

I think something is wrong with my coffee maker....
