Currently Experiencing The Confusing Opposite Of "i'm Probably Nonbinary But Idrc About That Rn I Have

(repurposing this old post into an intro)

hi! you can call me xylaria, xy, or i guess some variation of my url if you want.

this is an art + photos blog, expect mainly my art and occasionally a cool mushroom or something i found in the woods. i reblog from @strobilomyces-confusus

dms open if you want to talk about anything, especially diy/creative process stuff, i like comparing notes with ppl

i am open to art trades, if you want one feel free to ask!

i don't mind construction criticism or tips, particularly on my traditional art/crafting stuff - i'm in a stage of wanting to try a whole bunch of different cool things, which means that i am an absolute beginner at most of them, and if you are experienced and know that i am making an absolute beginner mistake (tm) i'd like to know about it too!

you can also send me mushrooms you've found. i encourage this. i do not guarantee an accurate id every time but i can Try

shoutout to whoever owns this bumper sticker i saw in a mushroom club meeting parking lot

some small linocut prints :] golden metallic stag beetle and trachelophorus madagassus (relative of the giraffe necked weevil)

aquatic bugs linocut at the demand of the people

pondering if i should make myself a new sona .. sphinx moth / mothman based guy perhaps..

another linocut wip

after i finish the 1 commission in my queue i gotta get back into heavypaint.. i'm a clip studio paint main but i miss the absolute lack of control or features heavypaint affords

found an abandoned tv by the side of the road.. poor creature

progress.. i plan to fill this whole upper back panel of the jacket (like. the part between the shoulders, not the really big back section) with spiderwebs, it will be a while . this chalk pencil i picked up at a hobby store is great

started embroidering some spiderwebs across the back of my jacket .. this will take forever but the time will pass anyway and i can binge the x files again while i'm doing it
