That Really Irked My Girk

I love July. Happy Art Fight!

Spending money feels so scary till I remember I am alive and have to make this life count

"you have the morals of an alley cat" is the most old guy thing biden has ever said by far. it's like an 1820s kind of insult

testing out my new set of lockpicks in the petco spider aisle

these two…… Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber

Beetles are really funky lil guys, I really love their colors and chunky lil bodies :) This oil beetles I did way back in 2021!

"Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed"

Okay for context the other rabbit is nanabozho! (Also called Wenabozho, Nanaboozhoo, Nanabush and Manabozho, they have a lotta names--) and he's a prolific and prominent character in many of my people, the anishinaabe (Ojibwe), stories!

I drew him interacting with el-ahrairah because he reminds me so much of nanabush-- they both have a connection to a higher power, their gods, both are tricksters, both are part of their respective creation myths, and both care deeply about their people!

Nanabozho is a shape shifter, while he takes many forms their most common is a hare! So that just made me think of them even more fjdndndn

(I posted this on insta a while back and the artist for the Watership Down graphic novel liked it and I still haven't recovered mentally from that--/pos)

Oh btw, nanabush is genderfluid, no I am not joking--

Me after seeing all the reblogs:
