Happy Friday! Just here, sipping some tea and painting some skulls! It’s a nice day for both. Tea of choice for this day was English breakfast with some honey. ⠀ ⠀ #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #skullsandtea #skulls #tea #sipandpaint #mementomori #witchythings #witchysociety #acrylic #painting #darkart #darkartists #tarot #cards

It’s time for March’s Bird Whisperers’ and the bird this month is the Greater Coucal! These birds are native to India and Southeast Asia. They are associated with many a superstition, and their deep calls in the early morning were linked to spirits and omens. Their flesh was eaten as an old cure for tuberculosis. ⠀ ⠀ This month, I had a lot going on, so I only got in a sketch. So far I’m really liking where this is going, and will finish him up, creepy spider webs and all. ⠀ ⠀ #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #birdwhisperer #birdwhisperers #birdwhisperersproject #greatercoucal #spirits #omens #witchythings #witchysociety #bird #fauna #spiderweb #darkart #creepythings #gothic

Got in my new batch of business cards! I like to add little pieces of artwork on the front, and keep it simple on the back. Really happy with the way they turned out. ๐⠀ #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #artistlife #artbusiness #littlethings #businesscardsdesign #businesscard #dragon #mermaid #owl #raven #fantasyart #darkart #natureart

Happy first day of Spring! ๐๐ท๐ธ March’s full moon is known as the Crow Moon or Worm Moon depending on your sources. It represents the stirring of spring: buds forming on the trees and shrubs, birds coming back to serenade us, and the sun lingering longer every day. ⠀ ⠀ Who owns these scrawny little feet? Death. Who owns this bristly scorched-looking face? Death. ⠀ Who owns these still-working lungs? Death. Who owns this utility coat of muscles? Death. Who owns these unspeakable guts? Death. ⠀ ⠀ Who owns these questionable brains? Death. All this messy blood? Death. ⠀ These minimum-efficiency eyes? Death. ⠀ ⠀ This wicked little tongue? Death. ⠀ This occasional wakefulness? Death. ⠀ Given, stolen, or held pending trial? Held. ⠀ ⠀ Who owns the whole rainy stony earth? Death Who owns all of space? Death. ⠀ Who is stronger than hope? Death. ⠀ ⠀ Who is stronger than the will? Death. ⠀ Stronger than love? Death. ⠀ Stronger than life? Death. ⠀ ⠀ But who is stronger than death? Me, evidently. Pass, Crow. ⠀ ⠀ Examination at the Womb-Door⠀ Ted Hughes (1930-98)⠀ ⠀ #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #fullmoon #crowmoon #wormmoon #crow #worm #spring #treebuds #flowerbud #paganart #witchesofinstagram #witch๐ฎ #witchyways #witchessociety #heathen #witchart #natureart #moon #march #acrylic #darkart #runes #poetry #tedhughes #death #mwmentomori⠀ #tedhughespoetry #spring #springequinox #springtime

Sometimes, on walks I find neat treasures around my neighborhood. A lot of times its bird feathers and shells. On occasion there are bones. This particular set of feathers came from a seagull which I don't believe met a very good end. Whether it was a feral cat or raccoon, who knows? ⠀ #nature #treasure #feathers #shells #feather #shell #seagull #livewa #mementomori #artisthoarder #hoarder #keepsake #natureisbrutal #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #witchesofinstagram #witchythings #witchysociety #witch #pagan #paganart

WIP Wednesday! This is a faun that I'm working on for a project (more information to come soon!), and thought it would be appropriate for March of the Fauns. This is still a pretty rough underpainting where I figure out the shadows and highlights before going straight to color scheme. ⠀ #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #faun #marchofthefauns #marchofthefaun #acrylic #painting #mythological #creature #nature #mythology #folklore #pan #greekmythology #march #fantasyart #fantasyartist #deity #pagan #paganart

Happy International Women’s Day! I always looked up to my mom. She was a no nonsense, hard working, fun loving woman who always told me she was proud of me even when I wasn’t proud of myself.
