Hello! I’m Robin McFadden, a Colorado-based artist.
My Kickstarter is fully funded!!! Stay tuned for opportunities to order it from this shop, coming in March. For those who don’t know, the Elementals project is an oracle deck now, and you can find the details here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitethepaintbrush/the-mendelevian-oracle-deck
I was born in 1980 and have spent the majority of my life painting, planning to paint, procrastinating on paintings and having kids (and stepkids!), possibly in an effort to give me a legitimate reason to put the paintbrush down for a while.
I also draw, sew, make cosplays and collages, and have perpetrated a long list of crafty things.
I spent my early twenties making an abortive attempt to get a degree in animation, then spent several years as a freelance muralist/graphic artist/tattoo designer/art teacher. I wrote and illustrated The Solstice Badger, as well as illustrating some of my mother’s excellent children’s books.
Since surviving cancer in 2018 I have been uber productive, beginning the ‘Mervel’ maids (Mermaids based on Marvel characters), producing the Zombie Alphabet Coloring Book; and most of all, the Elementals Project, which is a huge and multifaceted oracle deck/flashcard set made of fantasy characters based on the elements of the periodic table. It has a companion book and a poster and it’s really glorious.
It is my Magnificent Octopus.
As for the future, I have a million projects waiting in the wings, and I hope you come along and see how they go.
