Beans but it’s just an unfathomable amount of guinea pigs.
I might airbrush this on a shirt or use it for a sketchbook cover. Both sound really cute, but I haven’t airbrushed in ages.

For #GuineaPigAppreciationDay, the two earliest examples I've found of guinea pigs in the European visual record:
1. Painting attributed to Giovanni da Udine, n.d., artist active early 1500s to death in 1564
2. Drawing from the Felix Platter album, collected sometime between 1546-54
Attributed to Giovanni da Udine (Italian, 1487–1564)
Head of a Guinea Pig
oil on canvas laid on panel
6.5 x 7 in. (16.5 x 17.8 cm.)
From Duke's Fine Art Auction catalog, 11th April 2013, Lot 215
Drawing collected by Felix Platter, to be used in Gessner's Historiae animalium. The drawings were made by several artists, mostly anonymous, and were collected between 1546 and 1558 (this one must date to no later than 1554 as it served as a reference for Gessner's woodcut published that year). Bijzondere collectie Universiteit van Amsterdam collection.

Wish Upon A Star
A piece made with drawings I have made for HESY, combined together with a starry sky~. I did this because these heads of the guinea pig, rabbit and dog were used for the same illustration for the Christmas List. Reuploading that numerous times felt boring for those that watch me, so outside of the cat version I combined the others here! They're so cute, making wishes together!

Sketchbook practice piece of my guinea pig. She’s a topic in my art periodically, just due to the diversity in shape and size you can draw a guinea pig and still have it recognizable as a guinea pig.
It’s really just to fill in some space and deal with some thoughts.

If you:
recognize this Guinea pig
have thought often of this Guinea pig
feel an inexplicably deep compassion for this Guinea pig
wonder what this Guinea pig’s experience of the world might be like
have entertained fantasies of offering comfort or much-needed veterinary care to this Guinea pig
have wondered how this Guinea pig feels regarding the fates of its colleagues, and also regarding the person who put them here
then I have good news! Susanna Clarke wrote a book for you called Piranesi

Now we just gotta hope it survives the night until it drys
