Oh hey, it’s indigenous peoples day!
I’m a reconnecting Cherokee artist working with digital art, printmaking, and clay sculpture and pottery (:

Shop + comm page [comms open now!]: ko-fi.com/xylographica

A digital painting of a person standing in front of a Mississippian-style shell gorget. The gorget features an incised design of a panther, which is sharing its head with the headless human figure. The person is pale skinned, wearing a ribbon shirt and clay beads, and holding a Cherokee style pottery bowl with an incised looped design.

A digital illustration done over a photo of a campfire showing an out of place, painted-looking wolf walking at the edge of the firelight, looking across the fire at the viewer. It is backed with a dull red and its breath is visible in a plume from its snout.

A clay raven incense burner, with its open beak pointed up and smoke coming out of it

A woodcut print in black ink depicting a coyote-headed person muzzling their own snarling decapitated head with a wire

Hey if you guys can spare literally three minutes can you click to send a letter demanding they don't build a data center by my house? It would mean so much to me 💕
actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Stop the Hydro Park Data Center

We need to be loud about out opposition to the data center! There is so much not to like: the impact to the water, air, and land, the health effects to surrounding communities, the tax money, the war ...

One character is a cat clown doll floating above the right shoulder of a large buff man with a beard and overalls, then floating over the man's other shoulder is a slightly transparent cowboy with green hair and heavy scars.

I've had an uptick in folks asking if there will be a HELLAWEEN 3, and that's dependent on you!

I REALLY WANT TO and have a story ready to go+ my colorist is in... but if publishers aren't going to market, and I can only do so much myself— word of mouth is gold to me! ESPECIALLY while its October!
