We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I forgot to share this pleasant pheasant drawing I did 😱

Sharing my new painting for #scape day! This vibrant coastal marsh landscape is inspired by daydreaming at sunset on Cape Cod. Tisha Mark ©2026, Dream With Me, oil on stretched linen canvas, 20"x20" Original is available: tishamark.com/product/drea... #art #painting #SciArt #TraditionalArt

The books we read as children shape the readers---& people!---we become. Stop demeaning kidlit. Stop acting like anything meant for children is "lesser." Stop acting like children themselves are "lesser." I am THIS close to screaming incoherently in the face of anyone who does this from now on.

Gentle reminder…

Even making children anywhere in the world *fear* that they might be suddenly destroyed is an atrocious crime against humanity.

An infinite number of mathematicians enter a bar. The 1st orders a beer. The next says: "I'll have 1/2 of what he ordered" The next says: "I'll have 1/2 of that..." The bartender stops them, pours two beers and says: "I get it, but you need to know your limits."

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

"...and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door."

ICYMI (But You Almost Certainly Did Not), my biggest undertaking since I started lettering comics takes flight this fall, in a universe I love, and with people who kick-ass. You are not adequately prepared for how wild these comics are gonna be. gizmodo.com/star-trek-id...

You need to hear the goal call in Inuktitut.

Artists, quote with something silly!

Yep. And you've gotta DO IT. Commit, lean into it. Make it the best darn (metaphorical or otherwise) bagpipe break you can possibly manage. Don't wonder if you can or should. Wonder how anyone can even begin to stop you (they can't).

Take a moment to reset your mind. Contemplate this portrait of a mouse. Each little creature has its own unique and special place in this world. We should care for every living thing and take great pleasure in its creation and individual beauty

Good news from Merck & Moderna. Custom-made mRNA vaccine, now dubbed intismeran autogene (mRNA-4157) + Keytruda linked to 49% lower risk of melanoma relapse or death. My read is that these vaccines have real potential not so much for initial treatment but to keep cancer in remission.

In most art programs, if you hold control/command and click on the thumbnail of a layer, it auto selects /puts an exact ant-line on what’s in that layer.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm an illustrator seeking representation and I'm open to picture book and middle grade projects! I work both traditionally in gouache, and digitally. Check my portfolio linked in my bio for more art! #kidlitpostcard #middlegrade #picturebooks

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

This started out as a plein air painting from the view of my studio window, but the morning light changed to dull gray and snow. The rest was finished from memory, and I purposefully separated some of the marks to make it more mosaic-like. 10”x8” oil on wood panel Available on my website.

'The witch's hideout' embroidery and textile collage by Turkish textile artist Irem Yazici #WomensArt

Let's talk about how "ammonia" (NH₃) gets its name 🧪. Along the way, we'll talk about Alexander the Great, ancient Egyptian gods & a Roman misunderstanding. Let's start with these giant CASTLES made for PIGEONS in Siwa, Egypt, a tiny desert town built around an oasis, with 2 dry salt lakes nearby.

Every time someone says "I can't write X, editors will never buy it" an angel loses its wings Those shining adamantine feathers, sharper than death, slice all creatures in their path to molecule-thin ribbons, blood raining down onto acres of land rendered poisonous for decades. So maybe reconsider

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

Pre-work Ruddy Duck. I think he’s about done.

Cover art I designed for a book cover contest (didn’t win but I’m pleased with it). I think it would be really great record art for a Toronto band. #coverart #recordcover

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life. Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

I usually work on picture book illustrations, but I'm available for book cover projects as well! If you have a project you think would be a great fit, please reach out to my agent Jemiscoe Chambers-Black @jemiscoe.bsky.social @andreabrownlit.bsky.social Portfolio: yusukewatanabe.com Thank you!

This is my oil painting of my dear friend’s favourite view over the Shuswap River in BC, Canada. It makes me so happy to think of her waiting to round the corner on the highway just as it comes into view! #joy #blueskyartshow #oilpainting

At first glance, the raven is pitch black, but upon closer inspection, it shines with seven different colors of light. My hobby of bird watching has helped me to understand the fascination of crows. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls
