You were raped

A heartbreaking fact: Of all ten cards in our Feather Plucking series, the rape/sexual assault card is the most sold.

Can I pick your brain?

Please don’t really eat a human brain. It could lead to a fatal neurodegenerative disease called kuru (which means “to shiver” or “trembling in fear”). Kuru creates sponge-like holes in your brain and are fatal.

Behold the Body of the Moon

And I’ll lick my wounds with the glow of the full moon and remind you that if your ship doesn’t come in, you’ll have to row out to meet it.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s

There is dementia and Alzheimer’s on both sides of my family. This has been a scary disease increasing at an alarming rate so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is your story as well.

Nightmare

Nightmare by Nicolai Abildgaard draws inspiration from Johann Henry Fuseli’s 1781 painting Nachtmahr. First exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1782, Fuseli’s work was rapidly reproduced and widely distributed across Europe in both authorized and unauthorized versions.

Body of a Flower: Spiderwasp

I’m here to gulp the sunsets down with my starving eyes, to dance carelessly in the falling rain, to saturate my lungs with the sweet golden air, to feel the wet grass under my running feet. I’m here to condole with the spurned insects and press my lips into your lips and give some animals needing one a home.

Retribution

How often do you think about the ones who have hurt you? It’s something we have in common, you and me. A big something. We are the hurt and the hurting. The hurt and the hurters.

Bounty (Hold onto whatever makes you happy)

Created this one in 2022 based on a version I created in 2020. It’s special to me.

Body of a Flower: Robber Fly

If I told you this bare gentleman was from a photo taken in 1860 would you believe it?

And how are we feeling about naked men these days? What’s the consensus?

World of the Dead

You know what I really miss sometimes? The monoculture.

The Parisian and tattoos

I don’t think I waited long past my 18th birthday when I got my first tattoo. And I was so eager I didn’t even care what it was. I remember going to the shop and picking something off their wall. And it was a small mediocre fairy I got on my lower stomach.

Follow your heart

Listening to your heart is unlearning so much of what we’re taught in western culture; that our logical brains reign supreme and that feelings, emotions, and intuition can’t and shouldn’t be trusted.

Word Salad

In the 1500s, as printing became the most common method of producing books, intellectuals increasingly valued the inventiveness of scribes and the aesthetic qualities of writing.
