insect specimens






my latest project: I wanted to make a realistic collection of insect specimens. All of the insects are acrylic paintings on paper. I made the shadowboxes because realism was important to me. Half of the bugs are invented, but I wanted to draw them believably so people might think they were real. Bug-tastic!

I love your paper dolls :-)
My mother used to have a butterfly specimen like this back in the '70s.
