It takes time. She creates social awareness through drawing, writing, and shaping important daily sayings. As a lover of insects, flies, butterflies, and bees, she creates mini dramas daily that are always personal and uplifting. I look forward to each day (yes, Ali posts a creative poetic image every day and sometimes more) to see her fascinating, uplifting, and private view of life. Art is always private, then becomes public. Thank you, Ali.Barry Gealt, artistDo you like books, funny jokes, and insects? Well, bee prepared to be amothed amazed! The art is creative, the jokes are timeless, and the insects are dead (they were found that way). There is a Mean Girlsreference in this book that especially tickled my funny bone. This book belongs on your shelf, table, or in your hands this minute!Spark Tabor, comedianI spend all my time around comedians, so in looking for other types of Instagram accounts, I came across Alis SoFlyTaxidermy. At first, I didnt even know she was in Bloomington! With over 100k followers, I just assumed she was from somewhere else. Whats interesting is in looking to get away from comedians in my social media scrolling, Ali has made me laugh as much as any comedian.Jared Thompson, owner,The Comedy Attic, Bloomington, INAlis work reminds us that mortality is absolutely inevitable, but perhaps if were lucky, someone might come along and use our rigid dead bodies to spread joy.Tyler Thrasher, professional mad scientistA beautiful look inside the modern mind of entomology.Kendall Long, reality star contestant,The Bachelorand Bachelor in ParadiseYouve probably never considered how much you have in common with an insectthat bees like the flowers on your windowsill as much (or more!) than you or that butterflies arent the only ones who go through metamorphosis (hello middle school awkward phase). Ali Beckman created a guidebook for better living starring these insects to show us that the little pollinators are more powerful than you think. Beckmans delightfully humorous and thoughtful work will remind you to treat yourself and all Earths creatures with kindness, and as all flies would agree, sometimes going through shit isnt all that bad.Lily & Madeleine, musiciansAlis artwork is beautifully minimal and witty with a refreshing feminist twist. Its the perfect addition to any coffee table. Bee-ware, this book may inspire you to start collecting dead bugsThe Orbit Room, Bloomington, INAli Beckman is a true artist, a lover of nature, a keen eye, and a creative genius. Alis book, Bee a Good Human, has completely won my heart; her incredible ability to compose the deceased insects of the world into the most glorious, uplifting, and hilarious conversations makes this book truly unique. Long live the Earths most underrated creatures, and may Ali bring them to life in the most remarkable ways for volumes to come. Bee a Good Humanis the perfect book for anyone who has ever wondered about the secret life of animals and found joy in imagining their existence to be equally as fraught, complicated, and wondrous as our own.
