Aesthetics, Moods, Stims, and References

Hey folks! The most common thing I get asked about is my policy on my artwork being used for tattoos, and so I figured I’d put up a post about that so it’s more visible. Here’s the lowdown:

Yes, you have my permission to use my artwork for tattoos! The only exception is artwork that’s listed under my commission tag–those pieces were created specifically for the person who hired me, and so are for their use only. Everything else is free game! Please just do your best to credit me for the art/concept wherever it’s applicable. I also love seeing the finished tattoos if you’d like to send me a picture!

You’re not required to pay me, but if you do use one of my pieces as a tattoo (or would like to help support my work in general), you’re welcome to send me a tip over at my Ko-Fi Account and I’d be very grateful for that ♥

I hope this clears things up a bit!

there’s something in the house on Lark Street.

You felt alive here–fearful and wild and beautiful.

[dappermouth]

who’s here?

[dappermouth]

strange omens gather at the end of the street

[dappermouth]

These woods ring with a shrill, sad cry, fading in the foggy pines.

[dappermouth]

Your voice beneath the salted sea; a song which won’t return to me.

[dappermouth]

Still, you would have loved me only if I had been something holy.

[dappermouth]

Losing sleep, somewhere between the sky and the dying sea.

Hi, I’ve made a new set of hi-res phone wallpapers from my recent illustrations! They’re free for personal use, as always ♡

Just another flower, crushed.

Out in the dark, the deer are dreaming.

[dappermouth]

You hear it in the trees at night — a snapping branch, a sigh.

[dappermouth]

Just another flower, crushed.

[dappermouth]

The air here smells familiar, and the wind sounds almost sad, like the low and distant howling of the dog you never had.
