Eggciting times are happening on Sat. Aug. 3rd at the “Make It, Take It Crawl!”

That’s right folks, I’ll be at the Waukesha Art Crawl. You’ll find my pop up art gallery inside GBF Bespoke Balloons and Event Services, located at 805 Clinton Street Waukesha, WI.

Join Me at Lion’s Tooth Bookstore on July 13th!

Need a great book to read and not sure what you are in the mood for? Come on out to Lion’s Tooth on Saturday from 2 to 4pm where I’ll be reading excerpts from my novels, The Sky Calls and The Adler Chronicles. I’ll have signed copies available for purchase. I can’t wait to see you all in person and share my latest news, so stop in and say Hello!

Eggciting news!

Aetus Art will be in Artists Alley space A3 at Anthrocon, the longest continuous-running furry convention in the world, on Thursday July 4th through Sunday July 7th. If you find yourself in Pittsburg, PA come on out and join me. There’s limited space but I’ll have copies of my books, stickers and I’ll be doing on-site sketchbook commissions.

Join Aetus Creations at the Kenosha Book Festival this Sunday, June 2nd.

This was a last minute invite due to the original date being postponed due to inclement weather. Finger’s crossed for sunny weather. Hope to see you on Sunday from 10am-3pm!

Chaos Crow Ref Sheet

Reference sheet for Matt (https://bsky.app/profile/mattc188.bsky.social) of his OC, Chaos the Anthro American Crow. Fun project!

By the way, he’s wearing some Avian Invasion swag, a favorite DJ of electronic dance music amongst us bird appreciators. I’ve danced to their music many times at furry cons. The word “PLURB” stands for “peace, love, unity, respect, and brotherhood.” You can check out Avian Invasion on their website HERE.

Coming in for the Kill

Anhay Reference Sheet

Anhay the Pharoah Eagle Owl Reference Sheet. The character’s owner, NoxStripes, has been a friend of mine since my beginnings in the fandom, 11 years ago. His primary character was a skunk, but he always had an interest in birds too and had played avian-like characters in rpgs. When I drew a group picture involving him as a Pharoah eagle owl, he fell in love with the concept and eventually requested a ref sheet. It’s kind of cool when you help someone figure out a new character for themselves!

Curse of the Scarecrow

Farmer Pheagle has been cursed by the crows he chased away from his corn! Part of a Halloween-themed sketch stream last fall.

Cyril the Moth Stickers

Cyril is a fluffy, friendly moth with an addiction to bright light.
