I’ve been making these cute little pins to sell at shows! I draw up the design on my Wacom, laser them out of birch wood, and then hand paint them to finish. 
I spend a lot of time browsing these forums and seeing what everyone else is doing, so I thought it was time that I shared some of my own creations!

These are really wonderful! I love the artwork and love the way you painted them. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Looks like some gorgeous and well-organized work shop there in the background of your last photo.

is it a cuttlefish or a squid?
Since it’s a caricature I suppose it could be either, but my first thought was a cuttlefish.

I did too actually, but considering the 2 longer appendages, are usually hidden on a cuttlefish, I had a second guess.

It’s a squid! Though really it could be either since you can’t see whether or not it has a cuttlebone when it is in that position c: I do cuttlefish too!
