Ed Tucciarone, Faux Taxidermist

I've read all 41 Discworld books, in order, and out of all of them my favorite is Pyramids. I'm not telling you what to do, but I am saying that it's a good book to read. Take it or leave it. :)

I'm not doomscrolling, I'm just sampling a buffet of farm-to-table panic attacks

A little boy peers over the shoulder of an unhappy, wet bear while rain pours down.

It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m available for picture books, middle grade, and fantasy work!

why don’t ya make like a perspective drawing and vanish at some point?

I pet him and brushed him and told him I loved him, and that Shawna on Bluesky loved him. He bit me. I think that means he loves you back.

I don't think you should paint him. He's perfect the color he is now. :)

Of course you should paint him! He's a perfect specimen!

#cats

An orange cat, curled up in a box, who has arranged his legs and head in such a way that it appears to be a ball of fur. His name is Oliver.

Here is my cat Oliver, sleeping in a box. He looks like a Tribble.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Kitties are great friends, but they just don't live long enough. I'm glad she got to enjoy some sunshine, though.

EX TERRA 3 A New Collection of Palaeoart by Andy Frazer. | Check out 'EX TERRA 3' on Indiegogo.

With the speed and grace of drunk diplodocus, this has limped its way to 60% funded.
So if you enjoyed the first two Ex|Terra books, would like there to be a third, and if you are able, please consider backing and/or sharing this. Thank you!

What's great is that you set the scene in a dentist's office with minimal doo-dad drawings. If I tried to draw that, I'd have put in the little toilet bowl sink and the other apparatus (although it's been a long time since I've been to the dentist).

Justin, your sculptures are great--I really like the bison and Susan. I followed you in the hopes of seeing more of your work in the future!

That looks like a digital painting--is that a print out next to the actual cat? Or is that a traditional painting? Either way, it's excellent.

Recent NYer cartoon. Seemed appropriate.

Another fish piece. My large mouth bass.😊

A piece that is still sitting and collecting dust in my studio. It made it into one of the Spectrum Fantasy Art Books.

Some general Bluesky advice:

1. Use a lot of hashtags if you want to be seen.

2. Reposting is your friend.

3. Follow some groups if you want to see more content.

4. Be prepared to see a lot of artwork and fewer memes.

Thank you! I had fun making him.

Happy New Year!

Cats just go with Christmas. My beast was happy to play with a low-hanging ornament, ultimately knocking it off the tree and batting it around the tree skirt. Other than that, though, he left the tree alone. Merry Christmas, Kaitlyn!

As an artist, pretty much everything you do is art. You've done so much to make this planet a better place to live. Thank you. And Merry Christmas, Marlo!

That looks like a Joann Fabrics. I worked there for a few years. Have great stuff.

Throwing up is horrible. So are back spasms. I hope you feel better soon!

oh shit... looks like something was made of plastic and it broke. I hope it's a cheap fix!

OMG

That little spotted belly!

Holy shit
