Zoë's face on a CRT screen - very blue, very glitchy. She is surrounded in a purple haze. Photo of Zoë's studio - a glitchy silhouette is projected onto a sheet in the foreground. In the background, a wall of glitch gear is visible. A white glitchy 3d silhouette against a purple background. Screenshot from a circuit bent PS2. An animal skull shot with a game boy camera and processed through analog video gear. Both the pixel art and the background glitches are in shades of purple.

Been a while since I've put up a premade for sale.
The Triplicate (not) Deer put me in the mood to make more freaky deer (starting with this one? I might do more??)

If horror is not your thing then stay tuned for next week, I'll have something cute for sale :3

unidentified animal dazzles judges at local dog show; awarded a blue ribbon for its earnest and winsome nature
a teal-and-white-striped ceramic animal, gripped in my hand. the position of its front feet make it seem like it's dangling in the air. it's quadrupedal and mammal-like. the same ceramic animal from another angle. its front foot is raised, as if in motion. teal and white stripes run along its body like a skink. the same ceramic animal from another angle. another headshot of the same ceramic animal. it has tall, rounded ears and its eyes are positioned on the sides of its head. its expression is tentative and friendly.

The Porcelain Fowldyr
A reference sheet depicting a Fowldyr Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me) An artwork depicting a porcelain deer against a dark blue background. The border of the artwork resembles porcelain tiles with delicate designs on them. The deer has pale skin with the cool sheen of porcelain. Her head is blue and her ears look like small stylized wings. A wing design is painted on her back decorated with blue leaves. Her tail is adorned with sun and moon trinkets, and ends in an elegant fan design. #Fowldyr #Stasanie

Inspired by Thelwell, my pony windchime. I used to pride myself in cutting by hand (plasma), with a CNC I'm getting a result which is literally exactly what's in my sketchbook. Day 14 #ArtAdventCalendar #metalart #steelart #ponies #normanthelwell #horseart #gardenart #windchime
"Windchime." Or maybe "mobile"? LOL. Three Norman Thelwell-style ponies. Constructed from 16-guage flat steel. Cut with a plasma torch; finished with rust finish and silver, rub-on paint. Strung together with bailing wire, accented with stone and metal beads and a tin bell.

A hummingbird moth keychain.
This little guy will be available soon in my shop. It's also one of my fave insect related pieces I've done, so I'll submit it too to the #invertefest book entries :D

A picture of the front view of a needle felted hummingbird moth keyring, it's being hold by a tube with some rope around it, the background is beige colored The back view of that same moth. It's proboscis is coiled so it doesn't get stuck, I wanted it to be really long, but yeah that would have been a problem lol The antennae and feetsies of the moth were done with pipe cleaners

Bonus Eastern newts to brighten your Monday for #ArtAdventCalendar
Digital drawing of colorful orange Eastern newts against a white background. The newts are in various poses and drawn in a stylized fashion rather than being strictly realistic. They have light blue spots and white lines that evoke the feeling of scales.
