I am a naturalist and wildlife/fantasy painter. I see beauty in the ''wild, weird and wonderful'' aspects of life.

I started an animation showcase series of different animated shorts. I call it, Cartoon Sushi! Let me know what animated shorts you would like to see in an episode.https://archive.org/details/@dydee_soule
I hope you had a nice Christmas! Happy incoming New Year! 
you're incredible
Ahh thank you ;-;
I've been absolutely infatuated with your art for years; your skill is so developed in assembling the perfect balance of content, composition, style, symbolism, and palette, and I can't help but vibe to it on so many levels. Thank you so much for putting your art into the world! It literally inspires me daily.
I know you have an Etsy shop and a Patreon, but what I really want to know is: do you have any plans to put together a whole tarot deck? I can only dream...
Ah gosh thank you SO much!! This kind message means a lot to me!! <3 <3 A tarot takes so much work, focus and dedication and my brain is easily distracted..but maybe who knows one day..I do like to design individual cards sometimes because there are a few that inspire me a lot
