This one’s a xtra special. A tribute remembering a very sweet cat friend, Tegan. I was so lucky to know her. I made this piece really colorful because that felt like the truest representation of her energy. Teeg, I hope ur chomping chips and frolicking w Chester Cheeto somewhere right now. Xo sweetie💗

Thanks @vito_in_new_hampshire for letting me make this for your home. It’s an honor 🫶

Made with recycled tile, wood, clay, paint, fabric, magazines, wire, tape, thread and beads from @artsandscraps @detroitcommunitystore 🌈 by @candid.creatures

⭐️ COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN ⭐️

I wanna make u something weird. Hit me up! 🤙

Answers to common questions about my process:
- upon your commission request, you will receive a detailed questionnaire regarding color scheme, favorite foods, music, tiny details, and the theme.
- if the creature is based off a pet I will request a few photos from different angles of your fur baby
- turn around time is approx 2-3 weeks
- I do not ship my pieces, local only (too fragile) by local I mean Michigan or Chicago bc I do visit Chicago semi regularly
- I will gladly develop a concept for you if you want help coming up w an idea! For example, a common request I’ve had is to make a diorama including someone’s pet(s) as a gift so I’ll just ask you some questions about your friend/creature to get brainstorming going then pitch ideas to you.

Any other questions? Message me!

My band @mirror_mask_det has been working on our debut album and have officially put out our first single! I’m super proud and it’s really exciting to be (finally!) putting out music that we’ve been working on for like 5 years now. I worked on the cover in collaboration with my friend and bandmate, the lovely @candid.creatures, and it’s taken from our upcoming music video which was directed and produced by us and show by the amazing @bigmanmidwest. Here’s some storyboard/process sketches and wonky rough drafts (plus some funky little experiments) that went into the cover. Our single is streaming and up on bandcamp! Okay, byeee!!!!! 🔥🖤🙂‍↕️🖤🔥 by @candid.creatures
