BASTARD BIRDS - AND HOW TO AVOID THEM is now available on Etsy!

BASTARD BIRDS - AND HOW TO AVOID THEM is an imaginary bird-dragon guide featuring 33 different species of bird-dragons from my Smaugust series. The book plays with the idea of modern birds taking an evolutionary U-turn and becoming more like their ancestors, the dinosaurs, and how humans would have to adapt to live amongst these beasts in an undefined future setting. The book contains illustrations, habitat maps, size graphs and a little bit of information on each bird-dragon's behavior and, of course, tips on how to avoid them.

I also have stickers and single prints available of nine of my personal favourite designs.

Find me and my art elsewhere!

So I was meditating last night in the tub because well that's where I get relaxed the most and I was clearing negative energy and all of a sudden it felt like my third eye woke up a bit which was cool and I felt like I needed to meet my guide. And it was trying to show me and I kept seeing wings but it was never clear enough. My mind started to wander about random things and so I literally gave my head a shake and focus again and closed my eyes then I got the most beautiful silhouette of this big bird flying towards me. Then my boyfriend entered the bathroom and I lost it. My guide was gone but I'm happy I learned what my guide was. Now we need to connect again. Meditation is a struggle for me. But it was great.

If I didn't know any better, I'd find the existence of the third guide down very concerning.

What concerns me, rather, is that there are people in this world who don't know any better.
