Jasmine and Sage exploring the botanical gardens! Sage has a newly embroidered name on his bandana today.
Sage also hung out with my friend's cow and a wild squirrel too!

I made some Teeny Beanie 'Cinies! Or Thylabeanies...
Adopt one here: https://www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/beanie-cinies
These are inspired by Beanie Babies and the McDonald's Teeny Beanies. The little ones are the same size and the same fabric! (As such, they might have the same sensory issues). The bigger baby is soft minky.
The pattern wasn't traced directly, but eyeballed from early Beanie Baby dogs. These are a limited experiment- these are the only ones I'm likely to make!

Salt and Pepper thylacine beanies!
Two new designs in my series of herb and spice-themed thylacines (don't tell Salt they're not really a spice...)
A few of these beanies are ready to be adopted from Thylacine's Toyshop!

This 36x48” oil on canvas diptych is part of a series I’ve been working on based on the thylacine, also known as the “Tasmanian Tiger” or marsupial wolf.
One of my biggest interests has always been animals, and in particular the ones that humans have destroyed. Every lost or vanishing species is its own story, and as an illustrator theirs are the stories that I am the most invested in telling (hence the blog).
The thylacine is one of the classic examples of human-caused extinction: an utterly unique creature, deliberately exterminated due to a combination of greed, ignorance, hubris, and fear.
Scared or anxious marsupials have a habit of stretching their jaws in a display known as a yawn (you’ve probably seen memes of opossums that look like they’re yelling—it’s the same thing). This display was especially striking in the thylacine, which could open its jaw to over 90°. Some of the most famous photos of thylacines capture them in this attitude of fear.
Unfortunately for the thylacine, humans have more direct methods of dealing with the things that scare them.
The title of this pair of paintings is ‘When They Are Frightened, They Show Their Teeth’.
The overall series is called ‘Here Be Monsters’, as a nod to both the far-flung environs of the thylacine, and the behavior of those who intruded upon it.
Stay tuned for more.

The central continent of my worldbuilding world is dominated by marsupials and monotremes, and birds. There are several species of thylacine, and one — which is essentially our Thylacinus cynocephalus — is domesticated.
They are a recent domestication, with about 250 generations having passed. Compared to the wild ancestors, they have similar builds, but with more colours, variation in size, and longer lifespans (12-20 years). They have lost their natural reclusive nature and though shy, are friendly and inquisitive and trainable to a point. Most prefer to be solitary or tolerate the presence of 1-2 others, though get along well with other calm-tempered species. Their prey drive is greatly reduced but many suffer anxiety in loud or busy environments.
Lil update: If you would like fancy thylacines to put places, I turned this into a poster/prints, and there's also a sticker <3
