It's #portfolioday!

I'm a freelance artist using multiple mediums, specializing in book illustration and sculpture. I'd like to illustrate more books and I work with pencil, ink, paint, digital, and a combination of mediums!

My sculptures can be seen and bought online or at fine art shows I vend.

It features 1) Ink and digital illustration from "Mother Forest and Her Gifts, 2) Pencil illustration of a ship from an unpublished work, 3) Painting of a cat and mouse from a to-be-republished book, 4) Ink illustration from "Born to Soar", 5) Digital illustration from "Frank the Angel", and 6-8 are mixed-media sculptures of a fawn, parrot, and rhino with a painted side.

I'll be adding some of these new black oak zipper pouches to our shop next week. The ones I have on hand will be available at fursquared this weekend. They have zippers on the back. Small size is good for keys, coins, earplugs etc. & large size will hold wallet stuff!

This was where they belonged. Atleast, they thought they did. That’s strange – something changed. Was there less green before? They couldn’t quite put their fin on it. The trees whispered ‘adapt and survive’ on the wind and it felt right.

A joyful zebra, that is also a knight, ON FIRE, with stripes and tail turning to flames, garbed in a golden helmet with plumes that also turn to flames, rearing up and holding a striped lance that is also on fire, setting out on an adventure across sunny mountains, along a road leading to a golden castle. A little fire salamander friend tags along. In a narrow rocky pass with overhanging cliffs, a motley gang of bandits suddenly appears atop a rocky edge ahead! It’s an ambush! The leader, a handsome but menacing brunette woman, brandishes a sword and dagger. Behind her, a motley gang flourishes a random assortment of weapons: swords, daggers, knives, axes, halberds, crossbows, cleavers, and big sticks with nails. Their appearance and attire is just as random, some wearing helmets of breastplates, some in leather doublets, some in shirtsleeves or tunics and brightly patterned tights, one in a gown and apron. The leader wears a hat with rooster feathers, leather doublet and buskins, red shirt with puffed sleeves, and red and yellow striped tights, as well as several gold chains. Her chief henchman, beside her, is a huge and very hairy fellow with tusk-like lower teeth, in patched blue and yellow tights and sheepskin vest. He wields an enormous axe and a fearsome scowl and looks a trifle orcish. A knight on a white horse, setting out to find a dragon in a mountainous wild wasteland, has just encountered the dragon’s aunt. She is MASSIVE, half pompous matron and half dragon, decked with curls, pearls, and feathers (or are they horsetails?) with a long scaly tail stretching back into the mountains, and a formidable gold lorgnette, through which she examines the knight. She does not approve. The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.

I hope everyone is staying warm! The chaos boar might help. She's the duality of nature, the inferno and freeze, chaos before the reset.

"Chaos", boar sculpted with apoxie sculpt on a gourd. Painted with acrylics. She'll debut at my gallery show coming in February!

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure 4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency. b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

Ice sucks! Help me raise money for good things.

1. Donate to an immigrant rights org like www.ilcm.org
2. Send me a picture of the receipt. Every $5 is an entry.

I knit these mittens and I will draw a name on 1/17/26 and send these to the winner. We’ve already raised $165! Can we make it to $300?
White and brown mittens, clearly giving the middle finger. They are matching but opposite colors. The back of the mittens is tame and cute. So you can flip off the jerks and wave to your friends. It’s a checker pattern.

It is your civic duty to not only block ICE , DHS, et al, on Bluesky, but report them as well. Report them every day if you have to.

Absolutely not
ICE has a bluesky account now. Block immediately

Happy New Year to 2026 from all of the unfinished projects! Lets make this year the one we tighten our bootstraps and get shit done (and clean house and improve things lol).

These and more are going to be completed for my February dual show at the Piedmont Craftsmen gallery.

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
