Photo of a large painted stylized illustration of a periodical cicada done in a tarot card style. The cicada has a black body covered in fine yellow hairs with orange wings and legs and red eyes. The background is a high saturation splash of blue that transitions to green, with gold outlines of branches framing the image. The number 13 is written in roman numerals at the top, and the word Magicicada - the genus of periodical cicadas - is inked in gold at the bottom. A hand holding a paintbrush slathered in gold ink is visible in the foreground, adding the final touches The same image of a magicicada poster but this time scanned and cleaned up so you can see the whole picture clearly

Painting gold embellishments onto a few limited edition Magicicada prints so they’re ready for next weekend’s art festival. These are pretty labor intensive so I’m only making a small number.

I currently have a couple listed in my shop, and I also have small prints available.
