Hi there!!

I’m Shelby! I’m a mixed media illustrator who loves all things scary, sparkly, and cute 🖤✨ I’m mostly on Instagram, but slowly posting my art here too and learning how tumblr works, haha!

My art tag is #sunshinedustartistry 🥰

The things I post/reblog move between cute and horror pretty consistently (really just anything that inspires me!) so please be careful if you need to! 💕

Some other things that I love that aren’t listed specifically here are

Nine Inch Nails, Gorillaz, Will Wood

Saw

David Lynch and Twin Peaks

A Clockwork Orange

Nightmare on Elm Street

Scream

Detroit: Become Human and Disco Elysium

I also play DBD!

My commissions are open and I love making new friends! 🌻✨

A piece that’s been floating around in my head for a while now, that finally solidified when I needed it for myself in between my other projects. The text is a quote from Hannibal (the book); it’s a thought that comes to Clarice Starling while acknowledging corruption, and when I first read this line, it took my breath away and I had to put the book down for a moment. I think I read it exactly when I needed it, and it’s kept me afloat in the midst of all the unthinkable craziness this year (to put that all extremely politely): I may not be able to control the massive things and systems at play outside of myself. I can only do what I can do…but there’s also power in that.

I can make sure that within my reach, people will always feel safe. That they’ll know compassion and have someone else looking out for them. That they won’t be alone, and they’ll have someone to help lift them (and their voice) up. We need each other now more than ever- we’re all we have. And so I’ll continue to do what I can, within my reach. I’ll continue to be kind and keep fighting for a better world, until my last breath. ✊🏼🖤 I guess it’s fitting that Clinton pointed out that the spikes on this one look like a compass, since this sentiment is what’s been guiding me lately.

I really love how textured this piece came out, it was so much fun to put together! (I’ll never say no to paint splatter and rusty metal…those things are my happy place 😝) I love interactive elements in art, so I was excited to add a magnet for the moth! It makes it easier to move the entire piece more safely, but you can also put the moth on any way you want- straight or sideways, like it’s about to fly away. Or upside down! Whatever makes your heart happy 🥹 This will be up in my shop on Friday, the 7th!! ✨

Not gonna lie, it’s super disappointing to see the official Saw IV 4k Blu-Ray using AI for its cover. It’s always frustrating seeing gen AI-anything out in the wild, but to see a company as huge as LIONSGATE do this, who are massive enough to hire real artists and do better, will always get under my skin. You have thousands and THOUSANDS of fans who would have jumped at the opportunity to genuinely make art for you. Thousands of fans who would have proudly poured their hearts in to making something for a franchise that means so much to them. And you chose greed and laziness instead. (I know I shouldn’t be that surprised since Lionsgate has been vocal about wanting to integrate AI for a while now, but it still felt like a smack to the face to see.)

I genuinely can’t tell if they generated this and then added some tiny details on top? But the Billy ‘teeth’, inconsistent size of the chain links, and the half-formed wheels/cogs are killing me. They thought this was acceptable to put out? Did anyone even look at it first? They expect us to pay money for lazy slop like this, after not even doing the bare minimum? It just feels disrespectful, in my opinion.

one of the worst depictions of ‘autism power’ actually comes from hannibal, tell me why this emo twink shows up to crime scenes just to be like ‘watch this’ then closes his eyes and stands there weirdly for half an hour daydreaming about killing, if I was jack I would have sent his ass to the mental hospital.

[willgrahamscock]

everything about this is beautiful, jack's side eye, will being a freak.

do you think people in the hannibal universe were intimidated out of serial killing by how much thought and care was put into all of the big serial killer's serial killing. like yeah man i'd loveee to get into serial killing but i don't have access to the facilities where i can flay someone alive and make roses with their skin unfortunately :/ also i have a day job :/ if i was a serial killer in the hannibal universe i'd get imposter syndrome while reading articles about other killers like fuckkkkkkk man he sewed them together in a grain silo to look like a giant fucking gradient when viewed from above. why do i even try this shit. and i'd cry myself to sleep every night

Food for thought

[darlingofdots]

it really is all of us or bust btw. we cannot accept conditional acceptance of queer people, we cannot accept the exclusion of some in exchange for inclusion of others, it's all of us or nothing and we have to be so fucking clear about that. don't let conservatives or terfs or twitter discourse convince you that there's any other option. don't let them get away with it. we're all going to fucking make it and we're not leaving anybody behind

[dinobot]

we've been doing this thing called "hitting the nosferatu" where you hunch your shoulders and walk towards things while pointing with a long creepy finger
