This print is horizontal and black and white, held above some houseplants in our sunroom. The print has the text “you don’t need to be fragile to deserve gentleness”, and is surrounded by illustrated collage bits, such as rhododendron flowers, a puffin held by two thick mittens, a teapot on a wooden porch, and cherry blossom patterned origami paper. This print is black and white and horizontally oriented- here it is held above some houseplants and a bookshelf in our sunroom. The print consists of written information and illustrations to help you identify beetles around Chicago- such as ladybugs, June beetles, and ground beetles. This print is black and white, oriented horizontally- in this picture it’s held over some houseplants and a bookshelf in our sunroom.

Started a new zine today! Instead of writing the whole thing just want to keep drawing the beetle on the front. Based on a photo I took last year of a very charismatic spotted cucumber beetle. #zine #zineart #bugart #insect #beetle #insectillustration #cutebug
Pencil line drawing of a cartoon beetle at the end of a leaf. Its bottom four legs are on the leaf but its front two legs are in the air. Its facing us and it has a smile on its face, looking like it's cheering.
