Saw the new Phoebe Bridgers album at the planetarium! The visuals were spectacular and the album is great!

✨ 🌌🔭 🦇 🌵 ⛈️ 🌋

She definitely got experimental (not a huge fan of the vocal edits), but the last song is everything that we could have hoped for.

Can’t wait for the album release but I’ll just listen to the acoustic single until then…

Once Upon a Dream

@carrotzs inspired me with their sleeping beauty animatic

[bedupolker]

Collection of paintings created on Steck's Tapeats/Kanab Creek Route at Grand Canyon, simultaneously one of the most rugged and rewarding routes I've done. Shoutout to my buddy for patiently waiting for me to finish between the chossy death scrambles, raft hitchhiking, rock hopping, and slot canyon climbing.

I love taking care of garter snakes so much

Velvet ant (Dasymutilla vestita)

Hemilepistus (crenulatus, aphganicus, reaumurii)

Coral Pink Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle (Cicindela albissima)

I think the velvet ant is my favorite, and the only one painted from life. Maybe I should've driven up to utah for the tiger beetles, next time!

All for sale on my Kofi! A little pricier than normal due to the material also if they don't sell they go well with my interior decor.

I mean look at this emo kid under the Damage album umbrella:

[batgirlsay]

Ok it just keeps getting better:

He’s listening to Clarity 🎶

I think his favorite songs would be “Lucky Denver Mint” and the title track, but all of the Clarity album lyrics are so him. I also love how they are all wearing different headphones to match their personalities!
