Too soon to tell what the root situation down there is like, but on the surface the beets are looking pretty dang good

Alternate of my art for Blight's 2024 single, Behexen. The final art went a different way with the logo treatment and deep red color palette, and I love how it all came out, but I'm still quite fond of this version.

We’re a mere week or two away from the garden becoming an all you can eat pea buffet

Fell a bit in love with Serena Korda’s Wild Apples in the Wellcome Collection today. It uses the bodies of perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women to respond to the wax Anatomical Venuses I’ve talked about here in the past.

Can you even imagine the experience you’d have on here if you blocked 300k+ users on an “Anti-AI Users” list? Your feed would become devastated. Desolate. No artists, no writers, basically no creatives of any type.

the wildflower mix I dumped in my yard continues to surprise and delight

I’m inclined to cite chittlins but I’ve also been informed that my family‘s cornbread stuffing recipe, which involves tipping a few cans of oysters into the casserole dish along with the usual corn meal & herbs, is considered an abomination by outsiders

Fight or Flight (2025) - Started this one almost exactly a year ago. Still really happy with how it came out.

For a little change of pace today, we hit the D&D mini-painting studio for a while this afternoon

I’ve probably photographed this exact same series of radish prep images every year since I started the vegetable garden.

It’s radish time

ok I’m taking the bait today, excuse me for a brief rant: When people say you must “learn AI”, they don’t mean “learn math” or “learn programming” or ”learn to understand the tech”. They mean “learn to consume the product”. You’re not being asked to learn SHIT but how to shell out your credit card.

"Who are you?" she asked, an lo the being did reply, "Explorers, in the further regions of experience. Demons to some, angels to others. We have such sights to show you."

I am fully aware of the tonal dissonance created by reposting freaky erotic horror art in between photos of my very wholesome garden, but that IS going to continue. We’re allowed to like both flowers AND getting railed by space aliens.

also let me introduce you today to the Immortal Trash Cactus. I picked her up out of someone else’s garbage and chucked her in the worst spot in the yard. She’s survived record heat waves. She emerged unharmed from a week of being encased in solid ice. She laughs in the face of death.

Today’s stars

Garden season is in full swing here, I know theoretically most of you followed me for embroidery art or queer smut or whatever and all that’s always still happening but also I AM going to make you look at pictures of my garden constantly also.

I’m not a good enough photographer to capture The Vibe of my garden, or maybe it’s just impossible in photographs to convey what makes it feel good. It’s wild. Humid. Overflowing. Birds above, snakes below, worms teeming underground.

just a taste #embroidery

As a rule I don’t sell my embroidery, because I am greedy and jealous and I love the things I make more deeply than anyone else possibly could. But I did assemble some DIY kits of these designs for sale, & put the patterns out on Tumblr for free. #embroidery www.tumblr.com/gradientdesc...

Learning how to draw eyeballs is one of the best things I ever did for myself #embroidery

I accidentally crushed a baby garden snake while I was out repotting plants today and I feel very bad about it. :( I saw two more slither away safely, though, so that took a little bit of the guilt away. But if they decide to grow up and bite me later, I deserve it.

'Starwatcher III,' by Moebius. There's no larger story behind this one - it's from a series of three original silkscreen prints Moebius did for the French art publisher Aedena in 1986.

we’re looking very lush this morning

you know you’re getting old when you treat yourself to a video game day & then the next morning all the joints in your mouse-clicking fingers are swollen up & it hurts to make a fist

Just hit the “submit” button on this story, and I’m gonna just ride that high for a few hours, there’s nothing like checking a big task off the list

Just in time, the Big Bad Wolf (not so ‘bad’ - he came out looking pretty cute) is finished and delivered! This one goes to my niece’s preschool, which apparently is one of those fancy-schmancy places that makes you pay tuition AND also donate art for fundraising auctions periodically. #embroidery

Bleeding hearts are one of my favorite spring flowers & they seem to flourish in this spot, wanna see if I can get 2-3 more of them to fill out this corner a bit

So one of my neighbors is teaching FENCING out of his house and as a natural consequence of discovering this, I have just completed my first fencing lesson.
