ALT "Ska Chickadees" Mixed media on card stock: ink, marker, and colored pencil by S.R. Chappell then processed through Ai Perched together like a tiny ska-punk choir on a flowering branch, the birds in "Ska Chickadees" burst with personality, rebellion, and affection. Dressed in checkerboard prints, fishnets, combat boots, leather jackets, and bright riotous colors, these singing chickadees become playful stand-ins for chosen family and lifelong friendship.

ALT "Fox Fur Nebula 2.0" by S.R.Chappell draws inspiration from the vast molecular cloud known as the Fox Fur Nebula, a stellar nursery within the constellation Monoceros. Rather than depicting the heavens as distant scenery, the work imagines the quiet miracle of creation itself, where clouds of cosmic dust collapse into brilliant new stars. The woman and fox become symbolic guardians of this celestial birthplace, embodying the harmony between instinct and creation. Their embrace reflects the nurturing forces found throughout the universe, where immense beauty emerges from seemingly chaotic clouds of gas and light. Above them, constellations and celestial figures watch over the birth of new suns, linking mythology with the ongoing story of the cosmos. Reimagined through AI from the concept of the original collage called Fox Fur Nebula this 2.0 version celebrates the continuous cycle of cosmic renewal.
