my favorite part of cybergoth night was when the DJs thanked their moms and I’m not joking

everyone... ergo cosmos is crazy. the art is unbelievable and so beautiful and the writing is like nothing else i've ever read. hard to describe, absolutely magical and enchanting and wonderful

Hey, local friends! If you care about keeping MA school libraries safe from the right wing book-banning contingent, please take five minutes to contact your senator before Wednesday.

Autumn landscape in New England is a real challenge and struggle. But I got through it.

Took myself out painting today. Found a rock.

Thought I’d pour myself a (rare) drink last night and read my book and then book got too depressing and too real, drink abandoned 🍸👻🪦

PLEASE vote in local elections–mayors (of small towns, even), board members, etc. They have a direct effect on your life AND are currently the last line of defense against destructive federal policies. In many places so few people vote for city council etc. that your 1 vote can change the result

The late-autumn light hits different.

I’ve just finished polishing the two brushes I rely on most. Since many of you asked, I’m releasing both on ArtStation. I keep my toolkit lean, with as few brushes as possible for clarity. I will drop the link and some examples of the paintings created with them.

One of my favorite things about becoming an older and greyer butch: people have given up on asking me to “smile more.”

Cats don’t smile wide either, and we know not to bother them about it.

Big ol' Warhammer (fanart!) poster I did for the Apothecarion charity event. This was a massive undertaking for mw, it's the most complex thing I've ever done and the first piece of (semi) personal art I've completed in about 10 years.

Today in research for new project: “You can only show your ass if you’re rich enough.” (Book: “Fashion in the Middle Ages” by Margaret Scott)

My problem is that I really like large scale projects that require a lot of research, so a lot of my progress shots look like this. Just a huge page of notes and a pile of books.

Let yourself engage with creative work in a way that feels like a slow and careful and sometimes-challenging but rewarding conversation, rather than a fight or flight response.

The power structure wants to simplify everything into a binary, into quick knee-jerk reaction reactions, because that’s easier to control. Don’t let them. Embrace complexity in creative work.

It’s my birthday today, and if I can have anything for my birthday, it’s that people begin spending more time engaging with creative work, not just surface-level impression popcorn-style “content”.

also you can download the files to your computer so you aren't forced into keeping an app forever. big fan!!!!!!!!
