Museum SOS

I just saw the news that the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY is facing foreclosure after a group of donors failed to produce about $30 million USD that they had promised.

The museum is run by the Paleontological Research Institution, whose collection has about 7 million fossil specimens—one of the largest in the US—and is one of only a few natural history museums in upstate NY. PRI runs both the Museum and the Cayuga Nature Center, which is also dealing with the budget shortfall.

The organization is working on restructuring (namely downsizing) to improve their financial sustainability but they still need funds, and one thing they've said could help is if people shop at their store!

The foreclosure news broke like two days ago and their shop is already selling fast (testament to how many people want them to survive!) but there are a few items left in stock, including some prehistoric plushies. If you want to make a purchase to help maybe keep them afloat, their online gift shop is here and is honestly extremely reasonably priced.

so how about a FOOT LONG TULLY MONSTER

OR A DUNKLEOSTEUS

OR SOME

TRILOBITE SLIPPERS

They've also got some books, shirts, toys, etc. and I'm sure those sales numbers will help the authors/artists as well.

(Regular donations are also welcomed)

I did another. He looks like he could be related to Absol.

Mythical Creatures Series - Abada

ABADA

This is a mythical creature from the Congo similar to a unicorn. It has two horns instead of one and stands about the size of a small donkey. The horns are said to be an antidote to poison.

I'd like to do more of these in the future, as suggested by the title. I have a few creatures in mind but I'm always open to suggestions! The more obscure the better!

Oscar is just a really great character. She's from a collab story between me and Kiaci called Even Keel.

I crocheted this little guy back in March. He rules from atop my computer speaker.

I drew some Even Keel people.

Valli is a Kosalan pirate, though he doesn't agree with all of his people's "habits".

Shiva is Shiva, rather unamused at his vicinity to the aforementioned pirate.

Cyan is modeling his new outfit.

Srirne is one of the serpent people from the south and acts as an ambassador to outside cultures.

And Hestia is an opportunistic Good Samaritan.

I think that's all.

A quick Spock sketch.

Shiva is doing the best he can being a Spider, a glorified gang-leader. But he’s not very good at it. For the longest time his younger sister was his only Fly. It isn’t until Lio shows up that he finds someone that seems almost too good to be true. Lio belongs to a hermaphroditic species from the southern cities. What their business is in snowy Miroslav remains to be seen.
