Morning Doodle: As the most eligible and sought after bachelor in Ravka, Nikolai receives a rather large pile of Valentines Gifts. So he invites Zoya to review it all with him (she would much rather lounge around judging cheesy romantic letters than accept a date with Kirigin)
When you finally hit your wall. Love: finding it is exhausting. The only thing more painful is trying to love yourself.
Broken hearts, broken dreams, and broken self-worth; a piece about fairy tales and the never ending quest to fulfill them.
TITLE ~ The Price of Love (Loved To Pieces)
MEDIUM ~ Taxidermy
Squirrel skin with surgical staples over a urethane form mounted to faux brick.
“Hair dye, hair extensions, hair removal, make-up, permanent cosmetics, fake nails, fake eyelashes, fake eyebrows, fake noses, fake tits, liposuction, lipo injections, Botox, facelifts, lingerie, high heels, designer clothing, designer workouts, vanity, insecurity, anticipation, disappointment, extrospection, introspection, self-loathing, skeletons, demons, monsters. Outrageous looks. Outrageous acts. Outrageous justification: All in the name of finding love. Then attempting to hang on to it.”
This is the most recent piece in a series of Frankensquirrels that I began making in the late 1990’s. The series was inspired by the patchwork stuffed toys that my mother’s best friend sewed together for me as a child from her fabric scraps. Part of the foundation of my work is a strict “waste not, want not” policy so I began making franken-animals as a way to recycle severely damaged roadkill that had limited salvageable parts. I have worked exclusively with humanely sourced animal remains for the entirety of my career and I was one of the pioneers in the realm of no-kill taxidermy. These tenets were later used by two colleagues and myself to construct the genre of Rogue Taxidermy in 2004. Link to read about the artistic movement we spearheaded and how its ethics platform played a role in the reframing of taxidermy and its subsequent revival
From my Valentines 💘 predrawns! Thankyou for driving from Minto 🥰 I was told the original thumb on this flash piece was too big so I made it smaller but honestly I think I prefer a fat thumb! Do you have sausage fingers and crooked joints like me? 🫣 Or do you have normal fingers? 😅 #teamfatfingers #antivalentinesday #antivalentines #middlefingerup #middlefingertattoo #neotraditionaltattoo #stipplingtattoo (at Resilience Tattoo and Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqLtJruiQ8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#valentinesday sucks. Im dying alone even the #pan girlies dont want this. Only trumpers w 5 kids and a record that look like bobby hill. No thank you.
But fuck it even 5 months ago id rather die than show my stomach. Thanks @mahalia for the #plussize inspo (she barely counts!) well maybe somebody will like it or be inspired. And fwiw i bought this @torrid lingerie for the internet. Trumpers arent worthy.
(Hilariously my gma’s comment is she always thinks my stomach is fabric cuz its so pale. #eds babes unite!)
