Finally got around to doing another event! Lovers market. Ironically I had to do it without my wife since she's out of town 😭 but I'm having a good time meeting other vendors and other ENTO majors who appreciate the creepy crawly friends!

This may look like a fly (or a walking IUD 😂) but it's actually a moth! The plume moth (Pterophoridae sp.) is a really cool little guy with very specialized wings that are thin and almost feather-like.

Hey y'all! I'm here for their weekly holiday market, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. I did unfortunately break a frame while setting up 😭 but everything else is going great! I'm so thankful for this opportunity, and I can't wait to start doing even more shows here soon!

I'm so excited y'all! I finally got my first "official" banner for my booths. I've had ones that are hand drawn, I've had some that were just sloppy handwriting and giant stickers, but now I officially have a banner that was printed and looks at least somewhat more professional. 😅 If you like it/hate it, let me know in the comments down below 👇 and if you want to see some of my most recent work you can find me this Sunday at Rountree holiday market 🎄 in Bryan TX, hope to see you there!

Had a great time at First Saturday put on by .us it was great getting to meet some of the other artists and see the amazing new exhibit on display. I would definitely recommend you go down and see the new art, and be sure to check out the market on the first Saturday of the month!

Hey everybody, happy Monday! It's a little cold and dreary here down South🥶 but that just means it's the perfect time to stay indoors and make art for this weekend!
If you live in the Bryan/College Station area, as well as first Friday there is also a first Saturday that happens .us in Bryan. It's definitely more personal (and usually more affordable 🫣) as well as a great place to get your last minute, one of a kind Christmas gifts! I'll have a booth set up there and I hope y'all will join us if you can! 💚
Also, don't forget that I have tickets for my bug pinning workshop for sale right now in my bio, if it sounds like something you or a friend would be interested in I'd love it if you would check it out 🥰

So excited! We're doing another bug pinning workshop on the 12th of December with an option to decorate an ornament instead of a shadowbox! You can find tickets linked in my bio.

Holy cow you guys 😱
I just had my first full bug pinning workshop .us and it went amazing! 🥰 Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and all of their shadowboxes and butterflies came out looking fantastic! They also had some great suggestions and we learned some really good lessons together.
If you're interested in learning how to pin bugs and make a beautiful display, or a Christmas ornament with a real insect, and you live in the Bryan/College Station area, you can find tickets to my next event on Dec 12th linked on my account! 🦋
