Since it’s both lesbian day and world octopus day, I decided to draw a tribute to my two favorite creatures! Presenting the lesbian octopus, or loctopus. Her name is Rose, her pronouns are she/it. 💖🧡🌹💖🧡

I was going to draw, well, ALL of American history under the television, but I can’t possibly come close to showing enough. Hopefully a space speaks enough.

The crystal monarch digital artwork by Grace Alexander for @museumzine

This is my first published zine artwork! It was released on December 31 so please check it out! 

The edited version that’s in the zine, the description and a link to the zine are under the cut

Since colonial times, there were tales of a fae creature that wore a long black Victorian dress and had a crystal cluster for a head. In 1874, a photographer was traveling through a small town where he heard tales of the crystal-headed cryptid, and decided to go through the woods hoping to photograph it. After hours of walking, it reviled themself to him. It stood just long enough for him to get one photo, and then disappeared. When he developed the photo, it was inexplicably in color. The photo now resides in the smithsonian museum of natural history. The creature was never seen again.

Made for @housekinoexchange! Made for my partner Snicket Fence #5744 on discord, who requested a piece with phosphophyllite, Antarcticite, artarcaphos, and backgrounds. It was inspired by several sufjan Stevens songs

Midnight chase digital artwork by Grace Alexander 

Made for @leakirazine. It was rejected of course despite the four months it took to work on it. I still got a playlist in though and it has been an honor to have this experience, it helped me make some of the best friends I’ve ever had. Be sure to check it out!

Edit: my credit in the zine is under @sahara-silver my main blog instead of this one

Early days. Done for @cinnaphosweek! It’s kinda cheesy and really really rushed, but I still like it

Victory digital artwork by Grace Alexander 

One brush challenge! I did this using only nikko rull for the paint and hard brush for the erase. I really love this color palette.

Corruption artwork by grace Alexander 

“She must be a phosphophyllite, they are beautiful, rare..... and useless”

Another artwork for @gemsonazine!

phosphophyllite Emerged an off color, the only of her kind. She ran away and found another group of off colors, and together they escaped to earth. Everything was great until the corruption blast.
