I'm by the rockband stage at Pax West doodling in a fugue state and this wonderful enforcer walks up to me and gives me a tiny goose & a red squishy thing. They've become fast friends with last year's axolotl so here's where I am atm. #pax

A sketchbook with a messy doodle, and on it sits a teeny goose & axolotl figurine, and some lil silicone squishy toy. And pencils.Finished ink sketch of a dark elf slinky assassin mid-leap, spinning the chain-end of her kusarigama weapon - kind of a hand sickle & chain. Also, goose & axolotl are sitting below the sketchbook. They are BFFs.

Scientists are furious over Russell Vought's major proposal today - giving this admin final say on grants, effectively dismissing the entire scientific peer review process. But the proposal is also deeply systemic. It's been really hard to deal with the news lately, which is saying something.

Oh today is Fibonacci day! Love this. My Two of cups art is all about it. Not only the golden ratio curve layout, but ✨sparkles✨ grouped in sequence, too: 1, 1, 2, 3, ... to 34. 🐌 You can buy a Chromatic Fates deck if you like. It features 78~ artists each painting 1 card to form a rainbow. 🌈

A merman underwater & human woman in flowing dress press their hands together via magical mirror, within her fantastic library. His hair, skin, & scales shine iridescent colors. Her blue dress & hair features ceremonial gold armor bits. Both hold a cup in their other hand, with dichotomic night/light magic swirling out to form the caduceus. The standing mirror is vaguely cup-shaped with a winged lion design at the top. These symbols all refer to the Rider-Waite Smith tarot card, Two of Cups.

For Mer..vember? 🍂🧜‍♀️ "Memento Mermori". Grayscale spectras beneath acrylic markers & gellyroll white. Don't like BG but those were untested pens. Acrylic so vibrant. Gold metallic pen for jewelry shine! Lines drawn w copic gray pen is really nice to add black ink depth later on. Pretty day in Seattle

🌧 Rainy day art trying out Stephanie's acrylic markers. Very opaque, even covers gellyroll white. But alcohol markers (copic) seem to shade if done first & acrylic afterwards. Incidentally sauteed mushrooms are delicious. 🍄

Illustrated cute mushrooms using vivid colors. A backdrop of rainy windows & art supplies.

Just learned the secret to bluesky is starter-packs. Now my feed is full of science, code, & art. This may sustain me for several years. <3 Also some shrooms doodled at Geek Girl Con. 🍄
