The Unstartled Steppes of Dream

Inquiries, Requests, and a Place to Spill Your Guts   Submissions  
I am Ashley.
This is my personal blog. If you want just marine biology, go here.
I love the world; I really don't like people.
I balance all this animosity towards the human race with being an almost always kind and gentle being to all creatures.
I'm highly introverted and nature is my primary escape from people.
Creepy-crawly-slimy things are my favorites. Dinosaurs are fantastic.
Future marine biologist; presently an amateur entomologist, ichthyologist, artist, biologist, and writer.
Literature, video game, and music connoisseur.
I'm so full of passion for the world that it hurts.
I think a lot, I laugh a lot, I love a lot.
Almost none of the photos are mine and only some of the drawings are mine.
Listen in.

What appears to be a selection of beautiful insect photographs is actually a series of photographs of glass sculptures by Vittorio Costantini. Costantini has devoted his life to making flame work creations of organisms in stunning detail.

EDIT: This is not a real beetle, it’s a glass sculpture made by Vittorio Costantini. Wow.

Lora Zombie calls her bright, color splattered watercolors “grunge art” but I’m fairly sure you could label it anything from “magnetic” to “uplifting” and be right on. Her speech bubble heavy works, mix diverse linear characters with perfectly placed splashes of paint, giving the pieces a happy mix of perfection and chaos.”

I love all of these, but that seventh one is perfect.

I have no idea who created this, but I love it. It’s so colorful and perfect. I wish I knew the artist.

What should I draw?

I have no ideas lately. I promise to attempt all suggestions.
