I will be at Trinket Fest this Sunday (August 16th) here in Chicago! Come stop by to see my sculptures and prints in person, ask any questions, or just say hi! 🪲🐜🐞

Just in time for Weevil Wednesday, these beetles are up on my website!
A tiny jewel made not so tiny, Eudiagogus pulcher, also known as the beautiful clown weevil, was one of the many insects on my most-wanted list. I finally caught one on my trip to Houston last summer and was surprised at how small they are in person! These have been finished for a while but it took me forever to get photos of them. I'm hoping that my sculpture output will be ramping back up now too!

The Cephalotes varians (aka the northern Caribbean turtle ant) sculptures have finally been photographed! It was tough because their lovely little door heads reflect the sunlight a bit too much for my liking but we made it work. This is one leg of my suuuuuper late attempt at a partial FeBUGuary challenge. They're now listed on my website!

The new and improved website is now open to the public! There are plenty of new sculpture species to check out as well as a new little gallery of past commissioned pieces and one-of-one sculptures that have made their way through my shop previously in case anyone is curious about potential commissions. I'm alllllmost ready to offer international shipping as well!
Thank you so much to everyone that has stuck with me through this quick evolution, and I hope you enjoy all of the work to come!

My website has closed for the rest of the year for a much-needed revamp! I'll have it back up and running in January 2026 (hopefully on January 1st, but I have some holiday plans right before then and I'm a one-person show, so... you know how it is) with a brand new look and plenty of bugs. Until then, I'll still be posting updates and other insect art. Stay tuned for the reopening!
Featured here is Aiolocaria hexaspilota.
