“The Bunny Rogers NEOPETS exhibition is live on Dublin's Kildare Street, Dublin 2 for 8 weeks from the 5th of October to 5th December 2022
The artist, Bunny Rogers takes inspiration from online gaming and digital identities from her youth, to create brilliant, bold sculptures for this show-stopping NEOPETS exhibition. Rogers' towering bronze sculptures bear resemblance to ornate European gargoyles, but are brilliantly modernized in Rogers' whimsical and bold artistic style”

I really wish I could’ve gone to see this! How freaking awesome that these exist!!
I’ve finished my Skeith sculpture! I’m really pleased with how she turned out!
Here she is with the other two I made last August- I want to make at least one more; a sculpture of a yellow Neopet that’s never gotten an official plushie or figurine.
No matter if you're an OG #Neopets player, or still play to this day, everyone knows who this snazzy looking Wizard is!
This commission was such a joy to work on and I'm so tickled at how well his Neopia globe base turned out!
I'll be starting the next Neo custom in a week or so, and I'm always open to more custom models - so be sure to send me a message if you'd like to commission your Neopet!
Proudly presenting: the Faerie Grarrl!! This was one of my most time-intensive projects to date, with around 12 hours of felting from start to finish. I'm so happy with how he came out 😊 I think the mouth was my favorite part to work on -- the lips and teeth and gums were details that really helped him come to life. This piece is listed in my etsy shop (link in bio) . . . #needlefelting #art #neopets #wool #feltart #crafts #artdoll #fanart #arttoy #fiberart #sculpture #handmade #woolcraft https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHB12eLHv0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The Bunny Rogers NEOPETS exhibition takes place Kildare Street for 8 weeks, from the 5th of October – 5th December 2022. Three Neopets (Techo Statue, Shoyru Statue and Chia Statue) will be on display as part of this exhibition.
Wip of another lil sculpture! I don't know what suddenly came over me and made me want to make these, I've had the clay lying around for a year, but it's been fun! I'm so happy with my bori, so I'm making my other favourite neopet, my baby Lupe.
to be completely honest i've been wanting to use this blog again for a while, but i didn't want to just reappear without saying anything about it so i kept putting it off. but i guess i gotta do it now because i couldn't hold back the urge to go Ape Shit (positive) about utdr
well last year I was unmedicated, full of mold, and incapable of articulating my general frustrations with fandom without getting genuinely upset and being a dick about it. this was not really healthy so I logged off and scheduled some appointments and became Medicated. i also grew strawberries from seed and started a compost pile and both went surprisingly well. there was steam coming out of that thing(!) plus I started playing neopets again. and some other stuff happened too
to sum up what I was so frustrated about in the first place... i don't think it's unique to any specific hobby or fandom or age group, but at times I see this pattern of incuriosity and it gives me this sorta bleak feeling, particularly when it comes to serious real-world topics. like people writing off concerns about racism as petty "drama" or using thought-terminating cliches like "it's just a silly little joke/cartoon/game" or "so I'm not allowed to have fun???" or whatever. or the assumption that someone avoiding saying/doing bigoted things in public to maintain their image is Undeniable Proof that they're reformed despite never directly acknowledging how their bigotry was wrong (jontron would be an example of this i guess). i can't stop anyone from liking what they like but i think vehemently defending people like that is wrong, and it just feels like an excuse to return to Uncritical Media Consumption Status Quo. or something like that
in any case, i don't want to use my feelings about things like that as an excuse to treat people unfairly or be needlessly cruel or bitter, so i thank you again for your patience with me if you've read this far. i'm not exactly sure what i'll do with this blog because i still feel kind of cautious about following a lot of fan blogs, but i at least want to Do My Own Thing here, and i hope in the future i can manage to make some fun stuff again like fanart, sculptures, dolls...
OH i almost forgot to mention the oekaki. i never actually shut it down but i definitely think it needs a lot of TLC before i promote it again
