These days, I refuse to let you see me the way I see myself.

I wake up in the morning not knowing whether I will make it through the day;

reminding myself of the small, small things I’ve forgotten to marvel in;

— Mahtem Shiferraw, from “We, Made of Bone,” from Poem-a-Day

Sneak peeks of the underpainting I’ve been working on for my piece for the @beautifulbizarremagazine exhibition Gaia Reborn: A Future Utopia opening at @urbannationberlin on 11 May! We were asked to create pieces that were visual dialogues about conservation and dreams of future solutions to issues our planet is facing now. 🌎🌘🧒🏻👽🐺🐣 For my #supplyseekers out there: this underpainting is done in sepia and ivory white oil paints. My favorite paint brands are @holbeinartistmaterials and @gamblincolors #mabgraves #underpainting #oilpainting #gaiareborn #beautifulbizarre #urbannation #direwolf https://www.instagram.com/p/BuDCA0yhah4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oxqppqunf7qh

March 8th for International Women’s Day, @1xrun is releasing a very special series of prints by 18 of their female artists and I’m so excited to finally be able to offer my Queen Mab painting as a print! Each one is hand-embellished in gold so the crown and the fairies come to life! They’ll be dropping on the @1xrun site at 12pm EST, so mark your calendars if this one has been on your list! #internationalwomensday #mabgraves #queenmab #1xrun #limitededition https://www.instagram.com/p/BupPEwbhRne/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12tow8nykqej7

So, my annual studio cleanup is basically a deep dive into catch-up chaos. Throughout the year, I constantly get wild (distracting 😤) inspirations that I start then am forced to place in trays because my professional schedule is booked about 24 months out at a time and doesn’t leave me much wiggle room. The trays mount and stack -usually about 4 deep- on every flat surface (and much of the floor!) in the entire studio. The trays are handy, because everything is there, waiting for golden moments of time when I can get ahead on something and finish them. Some of these trays have been waiting, patiently calling to me for years, because I got so so sick before my surgery and my energy evaporated. My “cleanup” is both massive organizing, actual cleaning, and an attempt to reduce tray count by finishing up projects that just need a day or two of focus. I have so SO many original pieces ready that I’ll be listing in the next few weeks. Miniatures and cameos will be going up in my Etsy shop, and larger originals (including my Tanith Drawlloween illustrations, Dolls, and Cabinet of Curiosities specimens like these shown) will be going up in my BigCartel on my website. I promise I’ll give sneak peeks and post release times for those of you who have been waiting! #magicbrewing #catchingup #mabgraves #studiocleanup https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1D4gMHsHy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16gqdgj3mjh25
