Enter the year if the Fire Horse
A new painting I did to celebrate boldness and strength. I'm wishing you all a brilliant year!

Digital sketch page of various cartoon bugs. Left, a moth standing in a layered robe with a large open book and round glasses. Middle, a moth in a magic robe with a sun drawn on their head, wielding a staff with a wide stance. Top middle, an ant in a sunhat and boots with a shovel, and a lounging moth. Right, a damselfly in a peacoat singing and a beetle in a princely outfit and cape, posing and looking down solemnly. Bottom right, a tiny bug running with a bandana tied around their neck. Signed Moth Monarch at the bottom left.

A sketch page from this time last year. 🖋🐛

Curious indeed

Have you and @draks.bsky.social ever met irl in suit?

Close photo of a sketchbook page featuring a cartoon moth bust with a very fluffy ruff flowing into rows and layers of colorful clouds and swirls with sparkles throughout. The moth's eye is blue with a green and yellow iris as well as white and yellow sparkles. Its lineart is in purple; lives above and below are in shades of blue and lavender as well. The color is very vibrant, popping off the white of the page.

Photo of a sketchbook page with a pencil drawing: a bust of a cartoon moth wearing a trenchcoat and glasses. Shading evokes folds in the coat's collar and adds dimension to the moth's left-looking eye. To the right of the book, two pencils are propped up leaning over the displayed page.

Black, white, and red digital sketch of a cartoon moth character from a side-rear angle - they are wearing a crown that is partly obscured by their antennae, glancing behind them at the viewer, and holding a royal flush in their left hand. Part of their striped wing pattern is visible at their back fading out into white. The drawing is framed like a playing card, with M and a lined heart in the upper left and lower right corners where the number and suit would be. Signed by the artist, Moth Monarch, along the bottom border (this is also the character's name).

Three identical stickers fanned out over a red and black patterned surface. The stickers are visually inspired by playing cards and feature a crowned cartoon moth character holding a royal flush in their left hand and glancing behind them at the viewer. Part of their striped wing pattern is visible at their back fading out into white. There is a red M and a heart positioned like a suit in the upper left and lower right corners - these along with red details on the cards held by the character and a red glint in their eye are shiny metallic. Below the cards a watermark reads "shop.mothmonar.ch" with a crowned moth logo.

A black fluffy cat with large round eyes sits against a dark textured background. White handwritten text reads: “Sometimes my human asks me what they should do about the things that stress them. I obviously never answer. I just sit there and do nothing. Mostly because they do not speak meowish. But you know what? Somehow they start to feel a little better. Turns out most of the time they don’t really need those answers so much. They just need a little presence.” A small red heart appears near the bottom left.

A little presence 🐾🤍

You are right.

Wish I could do something right now to be more helpful.

Hang in there. I believe in you! 💖🦋

....others to put up with worse problems than they themselves are willing to tolerate and do way more than they would be willing to put effort into. But they're victim when everyone has to suffer consequences by their actions???

Excuse me for getting a little emotionally high-jacked....

I agree. The best art is when your environment is a safe, peaceful, and trusting place free of judgement.

It boggles my mind and infuriates me (which is ironically worsens my health) the double standards of those who purposefully cause stress on others for their own selfishness while expecting....

A fluffy black cat with closed eyes sits cross-legged in a floating meditation pose against a soft blue-to-purple background, with a small white heart on its chest. The text below reads, “I’m not here to feed the dark. I’m here to grow the light.”

Traditional drawing of a cartoon insect in a magic robe and tall simple boots holding a mid-length magic staff with a round spoked head. They're looking behind them with wide eyes, running with teal swirls and sparkles around them. Beneath is written "windwalk" also in teal. Art by Moth Monarch.

Speed your way with a little magic! 🪄

What happened to Tien Long?

Traditional sketchbook drawing of a millipede in the shape of an infinity symbol in black and red. It's a little messy and has so, so many wiggly legs. Tiny handwriting says "infinipede?" and "oh what if it was RAINBOW" nearby. Dated November 2021.

Two work-in-progress shots of a millipede design made to look like an infinity symbol. Its body is curling around so both the stripes on its back and its many legs can be seen getting drawn in. The top only has some of the back stripes and part of the legs cleaned up. The bottom has all the back stripes and legs partly transparent to check against a sketched-over guide for the general curve of the body.

Photo of two vinyl stickers of stylized millipedes posed to resemble infinity symbols. Both have metallic color areas for their legs and between their black body segments - the top is rainbow, the bottom is red. They are on a brown-grey background. Text reads "Shop.Mothmonar.ch"

Several infinity symbol shaped millipede stickers with metallic red stripes are fanned out on a wood floor.

Mess around and make something, millipede edition!

A photo of three small ceramic horses. They are glazed reddish brown with cream colored backs.

I made some little horses for this update! I love how the glaze came out on them. They’ll be available this Friday, February 20th at 8pm Eastern time.

In Cardigans and Uggs!

Strip of five traditionally drawn cartoon insects in sweaters or coats, each with a small accent of color. Leftmost: looking right in a mid-length coat with boots and yellow scarf and beanie hat. Left mid: shrugging in a hoodie with blue shoulders and ribbing. Middle: hands clasped and blushing in a red sweater with orange-yellow arms. Right mid: looking behind with a skeptical expression wearing a long blue coat slightly open. Rightmost: looking down contemplatively in a white sweater with yellow shoulders and blue ribbing.

Stay cozy!

Don't know how I missed this.

Hits home, feel this. Thanks for reminder to turn the othet cheek to rotten people.

Still creating but still here sometimes. It'll be a long road, I think. I'll just keep doing my best.

I won't let those who trample on my heart and take advantage of my good will change me for the worse. May they sleep as well as they deserve.

Blessed
