NOT THE CRABS WE EXPECTED BUT STILL SOME CRABS WE DESERVE!!!

this is exactly the kind of image that makes alchemy feel like a dream trying to explain itself.

sun and moon below, the mercurial symbol in the center, the triangle rising upward, the fire, the flowers, the strange little altar-like block — everything here feels like transformation staged as revelation. matter below, transmutation in process, spirit above.

The Orchid’s Dream, 2026 , watercolor & gouache

✨ “Not forever on Earth, only a little while here…”

I finally finished this painting that I’ve been working on since 2020. The original watercolor thumbnail I did was done pre-2020, if you can believe it. Sometimes art takes its time, and sometimes it takes time because it’s sitting on my easel neglected while I work on higher priority work for years. I’m going to miss this strange thing looking over me while I work, but I think it deserves a frame and a wall… and perhaps a better view than my greasy, shrimp-mode goblinself working.

This piece was inspired by a dream I had, though the details are buried in some journal which I’ll have to dig up for the full write-up on my process creating this painting. Prints are in the works, I highly recommend my newsletter if that’s something you’re interested in.
