mastodon 4.7.3+glitchArtist, illustrator, werewolf boyfriend, parent to three kitty cats, enby (they/them). I draw cute fuzzy things (and sometimes NSFW =3) and I build tiny stuff! Will happily follow back other artists, folks I know, and nice people who strike up conversation.
Merry whatever! A coworker gifted me a 3D printed DIY mini gingerbread house, so I had to assemble and paint it, and build a little scene for it! There are more pics on my (tip jar) Patreon for the interested. =) https://www.patreon.com/posts/118642400?utm_campaign=postshare_creator
Some shots I snapped wandering around Prairie Peaks in Sky last night. I’ve been playing this game most nights since the pandemic started. It’s chill, it’s pretty, I can play solo for most things or cooperatively with other folks. It’s my wind down before sleep ritual. #SkyChildrenOfTheLight
PSA to folks who vape/smoke weed, no judgement, just know that what y’all are nose-blind to, the rest of us are not, lol. I get that the holidays are stressful. In the past 48 hrs I’ve encountered both cars and people that smelled strong enough to make my eyes water. Also pls don’t drive high?
A sleepy baby. He’s cute like this. Right now he’s screaming at me to get up and feed him, lol.
If you’re near the Chicago area and looking to shop small/independently employee owned for gifts and great white elephant stuff this year, please consider American Science and Surplus out near Geneva, IL! It’s near and dear to my heart and can use the boost! https://m.facebook.com/GenSciPlus/about/
Had a great time at the SmArt show at SciPlus in Geneva today! Chatted with a ton of folks, always love a chance to show off my miniature stuff. Sold a few pieces, too, which is always nice! #art #miniatures #dioramas
Miniatures workshop last night went great! So glad everyone had a good time and enjoyed themselves! We haven’t set dates yet for the next one, but I’m looking forward to it. It was really nice to spend a couple hours walking a group of interested adults through the first kit I put together. ❤️
Reminder that I'll be running my first ever miniature workshop at SciPlus this coming week! We'll be building the first of three scene-in-a-tin kits I've designed and assembled especially for this. This is a roughly 1:24 scale design, built in an Altoids tin.
Info on how to reserve a spot is here, and spaces are limited: https://sciplus.com/geneva-in-store-mini-event-the-library/
Tools and materials are all provided as part of the workshop (and you get to take them home with you afterwards!). If this particular event isn't convenient, I'll be doing at least two more of these with different designs (The Stargazer and The Gardener) in the future as well.
Hi, my brain woke me up by shouting PICKLES, and I lost an earbud in the bed somewhere. How’s day going?

Doing a little art show tomorrow and needed a few more smol things to go with my dioramas. I don’t normally do jewelry, but boss thought these might make cute earrings and pendants! If you’re kicking around the western Chicago ‘burbs tomorrow, come check things out! https://m.facebook.com/GenSciPlus/
