I love bugs on the whole, and the more ostentatious they are, the better. My sister sent me an article about a bug I'd never seen before - the giant wetapunga of New Zealand. I'd not realized why the Weta Workshop has a mascot that looks like a cricket, you see. It turns out that the wetapunga is pretty much a giant cricket. Take a gander at this awesome bug!
World's Biggest Bug
...Yes, I realize that Goliath Beetles have more mass than wetapungas, so it's *among* the largest bugs in the world. Can you imagine the evening serenade? I bet it would be the cricket equivalent of a rock concert!

Commission Policies and Prices
Commission Policies and Price Listing Revised 19 February 2024. :star: Please note: Commissions are closed while I work on my current project list. This state is likely to persist through most of 2024 due to the size and scope of my current commission. Policies: :bulletblue: Prices and other specifications are posted below. Please read through the policy information first. As I have been mistreated by fraudulent commissioners before, I am strict about what I will do and how my art may be used. :bulletred: Licensing of my personal art: I do not encourage it, and I will usually decline such a request. Many of my works are either owned by others, were made for others, or are unavailable for commercial use for other reasons. Let me make a new design for you instead. :bulletyellow: I reserve the right to decline a commission for any reason. If I decline a commission, it will be before any work is started. :bulletblue: I will not stop work on an active commission
Print Prices and Information
Last update: 25 March 2023. I have prints available for most of my artwork. PSA: I do not mint or sell NFTs, and I do not have plans to do so at this time. If you see my artwork on any NFT-oriented website, it has been posted without my knowledge or consent. I make my prints with an Epson P800 Surecolor printer, and I have some left over from my Epson 2200. The ink these printers use is archival, and the photo paper is acid-free. If the prints are kept dry and out of direct sunlight, they will last at least eighty years. My prints are all limited editions, and are numbered in series of either 50 or 150. Each print will be signed and numbered. All prints are matted, and the measurements below represent the mat size, not the image size. The image size will vary from title to title, but will be of a size appropriate to the matting. The mats are designed to work with standard American frame sizes. All matted prints are in protective plastic art bags. Not all sizes are available
Kaleidoscopia Dragon Adventure!
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you my very own, properly published with an actual coloring book publisher, Dragon Adventure Coloring Book! It's available on Amazon and Create Space.
The coloring folios I had available previously are now collectors' items. While I do have a few left, I won't be making any more of them outside of special requests or special occasions. The new coloring book is quite a bit more efficient in terms of production costs, and in terms of the sheer quantity of dragon drawings we managed to squish into it.
The paper is a lighter weight than what I was using for my old coloring folios, but it still has a thickn
Livestream Interview (postponed again)
Update for 17 September 2015:
The interview being done by The-Dragon-Artists (https://www.deviantart.com/the-dragon-artists) is being postponed again due to continued technical issues.
We are delaying the interview until some time in October to allow the interviewer to get her new computer set up. I'll post more about it when I have a more definite date.
If you guys have specific questions or want me to talk about specific pictures, please feel free to post what's on your mind in the journal comments. I'll collect questions and answer them during the interview.
