Hey all! I've decided to open up drawn commissions (wooo yeah epic!!) due to the fact that I am still unemployed and there is uncertainty whether the job I was depending on working by spring will remain funded. I am not in serious financial stress, however... it would be very nice to afford a haircut.

I want to experiment with a "pay what you want" model, with a minimum limit of $10 USD. It'd be nice to receive payments over the minimum limit, but there are, of course, no expectations or pressure. :•)

There is a catch to the low price... I will ultimately render your piece as much as I want to, depending on my own interest and the amount of time/energy I have. However, I can absolutely guarantee you a good-looking piece with line art and flat colors! My only boundary is that I will not draw conventionally triggering topics. Below are some examples of what you will receive!

Thank you for reading my commission post, your attention means a lot :•) I understand money is tight for many, so even a reblog would be tremendous help.

No matter how bad it was, yesterday is done with, so heed the words of this seal and make the most out of the new day! :•)

That is such a good seal poster should print him out. Today will be better!!!!

DO YOU LIKE TO SUPPORT REALLY AMAZING ARTISTS?

ok! cool! then you should commission @botanicalbasil on account of the GORRRRGEOUS custom embroidery that just got delivered...!!

this lil ole family portrait of wegg and neighbor means so much to me. i have never felt so "seen" by a piece of media since Yugo Limbo's "Be Kind, My Neighbor" was released - it perfectly encapsulates what trans joy feels like to me, and I am so so thankful to Basil for being able to create a beautiful piece of wearable art that reflects that feeling!

not only that, but the process was super straightforward and they were extremely communicative and caring every step of the way. please consider commissioning Basil if you have the means to do so!!!

Hello There!!

Welcome to my dusty corner of the World Wide Web! My name is Basil (he/they), and I'm glad to have you here! :•)

Right now, most of my time is spent at uni studying to become a climate scientist (impeccable timing...) Though in my free time I love to draw, embroider, and knit! I also love to read up on and study plants and fungi whenever I get the chance. 🧡

Please respect that my blog is 18+. I don't post any explicit imagery, however, I do post suggestive content and rants on adult topics occasionally. I don't feel comfortable with children being exposed to this content.

My commissions are currently open for hand-embroidered goods! Below are some examples of my work. Please note, the price of custom embroidery can vary depending on a variety of factors.

I can make lots of things, including patches, hair clips, and wall-hanging hoops. However, I will not take any commissions that are large in size. I will not hesitate to deny any commission based on its content.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (my DMs are open on both Tumblr and Instagram) :•)

Thank you for stopping by!

15. Weirdest thing to happen to you?

23. Five words to describe you?

Hmmm let me think of another one hm. One time at 2 am we were teens hanging out in a parking lot by tennis courts, an insanely hue beaver walked right by us about 15ft away into the woods. There's no water in those woods. He came from the hospital grounds.

Genuine, corny, big, scattered, cozy.

31. What type of music keeps you grounded?

41. You get a free pass to kill anyone, who is it?

31. I think mostly lofi playlists or slow beat videogame music.

41. Meaning I could do it no problem or planning? Let's pop one of the two top world billionaires in hope it scares the others into behaving better. But in reality I don't mean to alarm you but one of the biggest crimelords of Montreal is just chilling in our town right now. He walks around in the open. That'd be the most beneficial way to use that ticket I suppose where it might actually be feasible. But I really don't think I could do it.

What was your last dream about?

62)

What makes you happy? :•)

So. 34.) The last dream I had was I was at my hometowns summer rodeo. I'm sitting in the viewing area and I'm wearing an amazing shirt. Like a big red red bandana halter top with brown leather belts going across the back. I feel good. I feel like I look good. But then Jenny Slate sits beside me and goes "are you wearing a bra with that?" She grabs my boob and it makes like a clown horn honk. Theres a pause in the scene and then I woke up.

62.) Being warm and new experiences with friends.

I wrote up a HUGE bucket list for 2024 and I'm proud of it and I COULD do some items by myself but...I want to do things with my friends. I could try out the bar ive never been to by myself. Try out a hiking trail I've never tried before etc. But I don't think I'll do any alone unless it get to the end if the year and I have no choice.
