"Civic Duty" 12"x16" acrylic, collage, spray paint, paint pen, colored pencil on secondhand canvas board It's your job as an artist to decorate your world. That's what you do! Now get out there and make your mark.

Set against a purplish background covered in miscellaneous paper scraps, a crouching red coyote lifts a spray can above their head. The blue paint wiggles and twists across the wall, the air, the surroundings, casting light upon the figure.

I attacked /~muhnow's little team: an apple dragon controlled by, and cared for by, the wormy in their head. We love symbiosis! Spray paint, conte crayon, wax pastel on antique ledger page

A little orange creature, toothy and sweet, with swirling eyes and a little cartoony caterpillar coming out of their head. They wear a green and white checkered bandana tied with a little apple and leaves.

My lovely children are so big and strong

A turkey hen really trying her best to sit upon her now fully-feathered children who definitely don't fit under her

My little anarchist and her spawn

Magpie-brain says pick up shinies. Dropped all the prices of small ceramic vessels in the shop. ♥ www.marandart.com/shop/ceramic...

A drippy, chunky green and coppery glazed ceramic vase

Flared, ribbed, shaped like a shuttlecock. A small ceramic coppery cup

It's not too late-- sit under a bridge, be with the water, do a sketch, and let the moments pass.

An open sketchbook and a sketch of some drainage stuff under a bridge, paired with a stream and overflowing ivy and blackberries on the shore

Two #ArtFight attacks, one on /~thething1982 of their coyote and one on @sirtrashlord.bsky.social of their cool jellyfish

"Aura" a jellyfish person greeting a small irate fish

"Tex" a black-headed coyote person in overalls clutching a sprig of wheat

Finally did this thing haha (I made it cooler) Maybe next year I'll introduce like, I dunno, a single new character

M. Cromwell 🌹@marandart· Jul 1

Vontsira mina, or the "ring tailed mongoose". A fossa-type, but smaller! I love learning about new critters.

A smallish, weasel-like, reddish colored mammal. It has a fluffy rusty tail with dark rings, small ears, pointy snout, and little climbing hands

(taps the tongue-in-cheek sign)

An alteration of the "beatings will continue until morale improves" but instead it says "reminding you I have a patreon will continue until patreon membership improves"

The button machine is a fun enrichment toy.

The interior of a wood box filled with metal pin buttons. Such as: a Pomeranian face, sunflowers, a crudely drawn middle finger, a snarling white wolf, and a spiral

"My Little Cave Pony" Acrylic and colored pencil on batik fabric mounted on wood Fat horse best horse!! I loved including the existing batik fabric pattern in this little cave horsey ♥️ watch for this in the Anthrocon art show!

A small painting of a little chubby horse with short black mane and tail. They have a creamy colored tummy and golden brindled markings on their top, like a cave horse. The batik dyed purple spots from the base fabric show through to give the horse some spots.

"Good Touch" 4"x7" printmaking, colored pencil, and acrylic on fabric-mounted wood Watch for this piece at the Anthrocon Art Show.

A blue coyote person figure stands arms out, a pink heart-shaped hole radiating pink, and a curved hand (theirs? someone elses?) comes from off screen and gently grasps their null crotch. They seem very at peace.

M. Cromwell 🌹@marandart· Jun 24

If you'd like this piece, just DM or email me. Will be listed in the shop soon.

A close up of the heron head, green and copper among the natural wood

Another angle to get the action of the figure rearing back

"The Fisher" 9"x12" Found wood, ceramic, wire, acrylic, & spray paint on wood panel To get what you want, you gotta fish for it.

A figure made of wood and a ceramic heron head lifts a wire line and hook above their head, mid-stride, across a greenish textured background.

Many tiny velociraptors.

In yellowish greenish grass, at least 8 speckled baby turkeys face left

Horsefolk in the junk journal. Background was from a set of scrapbook papers from the thrift.

Against a black background, two simplified anthro horses filled with desert sunsets occupy the page

M. Cromwell 🌹@marandart· Jun 13

and then...

The same Otamatone but with even smaller eyes that give it a super cursed expression

He's at the end of his rope, he's McFuckin Had It

M. Cromwell 🌹@marandart· Jun 13

Did you know you can poke holes in your #Otamatone and put #taxidermy eyes in them

An Otamatone in pinkish purple but they have BIG glassy brown eyes like a frog

Treat your lizard brain right by regulating your breathing with meditation! Low-fire clay & raku glaze

A small sculpture of an anthro lizard sitting in half lotus. He has a white scaly belly and reddish speckled skin

From the back, so you can see the tail tucked into the thigh

From the top: they have a white spot on the top of their head like a 3rd eye

M. Cromwell 🌹@marandart· Jun 10

Very stoked on this little frog sculpt. Low-fire clay raku-fired in our microwave kiln.

A little red and white frog sculpture, legs tucked in, held in a palm

M. Cromwell 🌹@marandart· Jun 6

We are truly free ✨ Low-fire clay and raku glaze

A creature of indeterminate species in white crackle glaze poses in a silly way on a black clay cup

Another critter similar but this time: the booty is out

Oh... wow... what a... nice outfit?

A sketchbook shot of a drawing of a coyote person in a six-part yellow latex tunic and gloves and leggings and tail cuff or something? And they have a 20's style beaded headdress on as well

Fennel hatched twelve babies the day before yesterday. She's a very attentive mom already. Welcome, babies!
