Artwork by Mausoleum Seals
Marco Zavala is a visual artist and poet. An ill wad of energy in a dream. If it wasn't for time & base survival, he would create in all mediums every ridiculous & serious idea he has, as well as consume everyone else's ideas with the attention they deserves. He likes snowcones.
The PETAL Project will be at Spiderweb Salon HQ for Speedbump lil d 2024! They will provide materials and directions to create your own native wildflower seed bombs/sculptures that you can later throw (anywhere!) to grow native pollinator plants!
Mausoleum Seals is a queer Denton-based visual artist. Their primary medium is ink and gouache paint although they are known to dabble in acrylic, color pencils, digital art, and mixed media. Their inspiration is often found where observation, imagination, and rumination combine. Many of their pieces are created as a transposition of an experience with mental illness, sleep disorders, and disabilities.
Hannah Ussery is Spiderweb’s resident bird-girl. Often lost - sometimes in fields, sometimes in forests, sometimes in music - Hannah can be spotted looking for birds with camera in tow. She also has taken to block printing in the last year, and many of her prints of will be on display at Spiderweb HQ!
