Words Are My Weakness

Art + Love I'm a compulsive artist who lives mostly in her head. Art is my preferred method of sharing my inner world, expressing ideas, and hopefully connecting with another living breathing human being. Inspiration Blog: http://gatheredinspiration.tumblr.com/

Tumblr is the lost radio on the top of a hill during an alien invasion and you are just so happy it even turns on.

And we’re back.

I have always kept journals.

Sometime in high school they switched from just writing to this visual combination.

I am almost done with this one.

Wow

I had a lot of posts with “adult content”. Most of them didn’t even have nudity. (I’m taking photos of books and necklaces.) Weird. Anyone else getting flagged?

Nothing quite like seeing your work hanging happily in someone else’s home. Thank you to all those who supported me and my work in 2018. Planning for 2019 and looking forward to all of the artwork to come.

Hey all! It's been a while. Too long. New things headed your way soon...

I used to build dreams about you.

Awesome Megafauna Skulls!

My last weird and awesome skull post was really popular, so I decided to do one about something else I’m excessively interested in: Megafauna! This isn’t at all a comprehensive list of the coolest ones, not by a long shot, so you should definitely look up some of the BBC docs on Youtube or google ones from your continent!

The cave bear! (N. America)

‘Hell Pigs’ (N. America) Actually entelodonts, unrelated to pigs at all and more closely tied to hippos and cetaceans! Dat sagittal crest amirite

The Stag Moose  @allosauroid brought to my attention that this is the skull of the Irish elk, Megaloceros, not a stag moose! (Eurasia) Which stood 6 foot at the shoulder/withers

Platybelodon (widespread) Google artist renditions of these guys, you won’t be disappointed

Barbourofelis! (N. America) Like a smaller smilodon, with much cooler teeth. Look at those incisors!

Megatherium (S. America) Primitive sloths the size of elephants!

Titanus Walleri (N. America) Other continents had equally large if not larger ‘terror birds’

Paraceratherium (Eurasia) One of the largest terrestrial mammals we’ve ever discovered. It was actually a species of hornless rhino! Google artist recs of these guys, too

Diprotodon (Australia) The largest known marsupial, which was the size of a hippopotamus and stood 6 feet tall

I saved Glyptodon (S. America) for last, because these things have some of the weirdest skulls I’ve ever seen. They were technically armadillos, but reached the size of a Volkswagen Beetle!

Some awesome art inspiration!

Didn't get out to the marches myself but I am so proud of those who did. Thank you for standing up for my rights and the rights of my daughter. #thefutureisfemale #womensrights

For the rest of my life... If I'm lucky. 😏

A pretty productive year. But 2017 is going to kick butt because I'm going to make it! #bestnine2016 #bestnine #bestnineof2016 #art #painting
