Inktober day 1: Snowshoe hare. Did you know that there are ice age refugee snowshoe hares living in the Appalachian mountains?

My Inktober pieces this year will be dedicated to everyone hurt by Tropical Storm Helene. I lived in the Appalachians for 9 years, and seeing the pictures of the devastation in a place I called home and have friends and family in is horrifying. So we cope through art!

"Tea Garden" by Hana Russell, ink 2022

I love the little worlds you can create in terrariums.

To the person who requested luna moth art at the Fall Fantasy Festival last Saturday, it's happening!

"Cup of Joy" by Hana Russell, ink 2022

One of my lockdown hobbies was making moss terrariums. It was fun to make tiny little green worlds.

I had a blast at the Spring Fairy Festival at Cresent Moon Gifts last weekend! It was wet (actual thunderstorm!!!) but fun to vend outside again after 4+ years.

I met some awesome folks and wonderful artists :)

That feel when you order 200 prints and need to get them all backed and in envelopes by Friday evening!

I'm vending at the Spring Fairy Festival in Tacoma this Saturday, so Washington folks please come say hi!

“Incense and Memories” 2023

For my Life from Death oracle deck, these ginkgo leaves float through tumultuous smoke with serenity, symbolizing the endurance of gingko trees. They have survived the extinction of their pollinators, and now grow nearly everywhere they are planted, whether in tropical forests or frozen cities.

“Incense and Memories” ink 2023

I have loved ginkgo leaves since I was a young child. The colors and shapes of the leaves are so magical. They are living fossils and have survived through so much to arrive unchanged to the present.

“Resurrection Fern” 2024

If I make this series into an oracle deck, ferns would mean thriving when conditions are right, even if those conditions would drown and batter another person. It’s hard to grow by a waterfall (or under a sewer grate), but ferns excel at it. And when conditions are not favorable, hunker down and wait for wetter weather. Ferns might not do well in the average house, but they are perfectly suited for their natural environment.

What kinds of plants would you like to see in an oracle deck?

“Resurrection Fern” ink 2023

Another piece from my Life from Death series. I love ferns. All ferns; all kinds of ferns. I’m not the best at taking care of them, but thankfully they often bounce back after a good soak. Here in the PNW, they even live under sewer grates, dying back in summer and coming back green when the rains return in the fall.

“Glorious Bees” 2024

Like fallow deer, honeybees are a critter I’ve dreamed of having, but haven’t had the chance yet. Morning glories are one of my favorite flowers, so I had fun merging the two for this knotwork bee-rthday commission. If you want this as a sticker, t-shirt, or print, it’s up in my shop!

What would be a critter or a plant you’d love to see in my style? Let me know, and I might just be able to make it happen!
