Unsad Aqua Butterfly

Aqua Unsad Butterfly

Unsad Butterflies is a growing series of watercolor butterflies, because real mounted butterflies are super sad.

Why are mounted butterflies sad?

The Idea

The idea is that the whole world will buy my Soulless Butterflies instead of the sad ones — and then the entire cruel mounted butterfly industry will collapse in shame.

So, do you want a butterfly on your wall too?

Then you'd better get one of my winged friends.
Just like real butterflies, they come in a beautiful box frame.
