Love Wins

Congratulations to all those happy couples that can finally be married! I've always thought love between two consenting adults should never be hindered by the government. Now they have the right to become one being in two bodies with all the rights and privileges of traditional marriages.

This is a drawing I did a few years back for a friend that had come out and it wasn't always easy. Here he is, just as sparkly as ever with his fabulous lizard.

Farm Pictures

Second post, doing well. Okay, so here it goes. Last night I tore my middle fingernail of my right (dominant) hand three-quarters of the way across about a quarter way into the living tissue. Needless to say there was a bit of pain, a spot of blood, and a long lasting inconvenience. I plan on posting some drawings soon, so don't lose hope.

Yesterday I went to the parent's farm and took some pictures while I was there. I know I'm not a photographer, but I enjoy taking the pictures and they are fun to look at. Who doesn't love animals, right?

Anyway, our GOS sow had piglets about a week ago and they are so tiny and so adorable! She is a great mommy and lets me just sit in the pen with her and her nine little ones. Her name is Lillian and she will literally roll over to let me rub her belly. I've added a few more pictures of the babies for good measure.

Lillian and her nine piglets. 

Then, we had to move a t-post and we found a spider living on it, so of course I had to take pictures of the terrifying beast. She posed rather well while I took the pictures. Then the noise of the skid loader mixed with us moving the post around made her attempt to hide in her little web nest. 

Humans are scary. I must hide. 

Also, our llama got her annual haircut. Taking pictures of the animals is so much fun. I never know when I'm going to get a great shot and who is going to be friendly and stand still that day. If you want to know more about my parent's farm, I run there website and you can check it out here! 

Cria, the llama that doesn't understand personal space.

I have returned!

Hello to anyone who follows this blog, which I'm assuming is nobody since I haven't posted in two years. I started this blog for a social media class I took in college and just never deleted it. I recently created a Patreon account to help support my dream of being able to pay my bills by creating art. What is she, crazy? I am.

One of the hints to a successful Patreon is to have a blog, so I thought "Hey, I have one already, I'll just add on to it!" We'll see how up-to-date I can keep you all.

By the way, Patreon is a site for content creators such as artists, musicians, designers, etc. I am a visual artists that creates mostly drawings and paintings, but I also dabble in graphic design and some jewelry and keychains.

Like this little leather bound journal keychain I made! Fully functional and easily transported!


Oh! I'm so terrible at introductions! I create under the name of Owl Eyrie (owl air-ee) on most of my sites. I have a few that are under older urls because, as a starving artist, I can't pay to change them (facebook.com/MyWayDesigns and my-way13.deviantArt.com).

You already know I have a Patreon, but I also have an Etsy store in which I sell some of my jewelry and I can easily create and sell custom artwork and jewelry for anyone! I accept credit cards, gift cards, and Paypal. I am sometimes on Twitter, I still don't quite understand the hashtags and whatnot. I'm young, but old fashioned. Ha.

I've been drawing a lot of koi fish lately, but they are so fun and free! The watercolor above is one of my favorites. My most recent commissioned painting is called Hope In Darkness and is in acrylic on masonite board. It's approximately 3' x 1.5' unframed, and sold for $160.

I guess that's a pretty decent update. I will attempt to post at least once a week on how my art endeavors are moving forward rather then backward like they sometimes feel.

Thank you for reading and I hope to gain your support!
