My mom's urn, fired and glazed. I plan to paint orchids and sunflowers on it. I can't believe it's been just over a month. It feels like yesterday, and it feels like twenty years. I have a gala fundraiser to execute and an endpaper illustration (gasp!) to turn in this week... ready for a break.

My partner sent me this lmao... the babies Sasha's fur is finally growing back after dealing with some allergies!

#astrophotography cause i am very excited to upgrade my jupiter imaging

Total solar eclipse! Solar corona! From behind the Moon! #Artemis

felt very inspired by the Artemis II stream so i finally finished cleaning my mirror and putting in a new part on my 8" scope. It's all collimated and my playerone cam is set up!

owner of a local pottery place lost a friend recently and threw an extra urn for me for free. i got to paint it today. glaze colors look crazy but hopefully it'll look very ocean/river themed! it'll be a nice resting place for my mom, since we always went kayaking together.

Last batch of Clea cosplay photos from #Expedition33 🌹🎨 Gotta rest from C2E2 now 💤 This was such a nice reprieve from grieving... Clea is a fitting return to form, at least. 💚

photo previews of my clea from #expedition33! self-portraits are tough lol. 🌹 🎨 this was a fun and much-needed #c2e2 🥹

c2e2 so far! expedition 33 all weekend 🌹 i have not cosplayed in so long!

lost my mother today. if you were waiting on a commission or trade with me, send me a DM and we can get things worked out. hug your loved ones for me 💚

so you're telling me that drow houses are just crypto shills each with their own coins...

finally got to photograph real life morpho butterflies - my favorite butterfly since i read heartlight as a child. 🦋

outer wilds vibes! 💚🌌 first shot of orion on the s30. been waiting all season for this! processing on lightroom mobile, i plan to re-stack and process on my PC soon!

After two months I can now play my scales, a basic arpeggio, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on violin ☺️✨️ Shit's hard, okay!

I got to do a double-sided bookmark for Allison Saft, for the release of her new book Immortal Game! Sapphic fae chess fantasy is a genre I didnt know I needed. I had to sit on this one a while but now I can share! ✨️ #books

i am obsessed with them

so much nightreign... working on smth but i better sleep #eldenring

when i feel like i didn't accomplish much this year, i look at the auroras and moons and galaxies i chased and don't feel so melancholy. 🌌✨️ can't wait until the skies clear and i can resume astrophotography again

congratulations to everyone who found their love for art again this year! i hope next year is my year for that 🥹 i am happy i got the hang of my job and new state, am learning violin, and got pretty good at astrophotography. even started writing! i just miss art, too. cheers to an easier 2026 🥂

my top books i read this year! i barely read in 2024 but i think i am at 30+ for this year. annihilation by @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social is my book of all time and so is the biologist 🥹 (love blue and lorelei and phosyne too)

welcome artists!! ✨ quote with an old piece that you still like! (psyche, my tiefling of acheron. a soft wimp who can't hack it in the hells)

merry crimes i made stew

we will be married

I learned how to play nightreign and art-wise its about to become everybody's problem

Don't worry about the duchess she's right where she wants to be #NIGHTREIGN

it's been a tough year and i forgot i can do art (working on a sapphic folk horror/fantasy story about a woman chasing down a huldra) task failed successfully

surprise aurora tonight 🥹

Progress! Five others dice boxes are almost to this stage but need more sanding before pictures. Anyway, they feel close to the end. Which is always more work than you think. But the no fun work of gluing magnets and posts is done.

I took so many pics!! I love seeing turtles especially.

went kayaking today with my BB cause I was "working from home". We met a bartender close by from Dallas who makes frozen margaritas just how I love them and it was so nostalgic I almost cried

I spent 6 hours today, totally unplanned, modding Stardew Valley to include a D&D character. Even for me this is berserk behavior 😭 Now I can romance Aelita on my reigar save!! (All JSON file changes and dependencies worked on the second try which shocks me)

KSENIA LOOKS AMAZING AHHHHH tyty 🥹 impeccable design and vision from vex! oblodra psion turned clawrift trash after getting too buddy-buddy with illithids.

got depressed, back to making art, started writing fiction 🫣 hello

solidarity with both the LA protestors and those on the madleen

I LOVE PHOTO MOOOOODE Ksenia and Altalune are so precious Codependent Oblodran drow lesbians 🏳️‍🌈 #bg3

I sacrificed my phone to the river today god rest it's soul

If you see this, post your green art 💚 I always love my feytouched tiefling

my first real spring

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

i smell so good i LOVE perfume. anyway more sketchin

my szarkai drow bard, altalune <3 the light of my life 🥺 i have so much art of her and ksenia that i want to finish. weird gay oblodrans!! #bg3uplift

this is so real

Happy #LesbianVisibilityWeek ! Gay lil artist here in Michigan, doing non-profit marketing and drawing fantasy babes ✨️🌸

Leave it to VeteranJoystick to hype up our mod! Thank you so much for featuring #PathToMenzoberranzan! #BaldursGate3 #bg3mod

After you watch Sinner, you should look into vampire novels by BLACK authors like L.A Banks, Octavia Butler, Tananarive Due, Nicole Givens Kurtz, and pretty much anyone BUT a famous white dude. Also, check out the movies She Never Died, Day Shift and Ganja & Hess. www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

Becoming a better artist isn't just about better brush strokes, colors, or composition. It's learning to invite younger you—curious, open minded, and free—back into your life to create for yourself without judgement.

some of my favorite stills from photo mode, i'm unwell!! thank you patch 8 #bg3

wavemother karlach gave it her all omg 🔥 the high fantasy elfsong party was amazing as always!

the duality of man (c2e2 edition) MY FEET HURT SO MUCH. and i think i'm 97% water, 2% soju, and 1% trace elements.
