The Seed Song

discord is dead what shall I do with myself now

An older piece. I used to just draw stuff like this before I got super busy doing NDA corporate illustration work. I feel very lucky to have good and consistent work but I miss making my own stuff just because.

Teeth and Tattoos- 2022

God I haven't actually drawn for ages and I feel stiff

The history of the first gender identity clinic reminds us that many systems were built by gatekeepers to restrict our freedom.

same newspapers calling for better protection for Jewish people and stronger anti-antisemitism laws less than seven days ago. same newspapers. it's enough to make you think there might be an anti-left conspiracy happening.

my piece for the cursed zine ✨ #maythe4th

May the 4th be with you

We study history because it’s the context for our entire civilization. We study history to understand how we got here. We do NOT study history to feel good. If your requirement for history is that it has to take your feelings into account, then what you’re actually reading is historical fanfic.

contemplating time

It is done 🙏 I designed 30+ characters this month, wowee. That was a lot and a lot of fun too! ✨ If you wanna hear me yap about it, check my patreon (public post): www.patreon.com/posts/157086... And have a look at the whole project! There's so many cool concepts: 30doc2026.thecomicseries.com

I actually feel good about posting wips and sketches here :) I hope peeps enjoy seeing my OC's and stuff! On twitter I felt so self conscious about it 😩 A siren OC in the works, cursed to die and be reborn in a tale of romantic betrayal across the ages.🧜‍♀️💔

(1-4/30) I'm doing 30 days of characters time at ComicFury - a very big crop of artists this year (80!) and all managed by @spelledeg.bsky.social! There's lore, but alas there's no space here for that. #watercolour #sketch #oc #originalcharacters

(5-8/30) OK back on my 30 Characters post here. As usual there's more lore. I'll have break this one up at some point as I do a bit of a theme switch to stop me from going mental #watercolour #sketch #oc #originalcharacters

(9-12/30) It continues. There's priests and priestesses and wounds and worries. #watercolour #sketch #oc #originalcharacters

(13-16/30) Also this was very unfortunately made in the very fresh and ongoing context of the US-Israel attack on Iran, so elements of stuff about fossil fuels and fascism just show up. #watercolour #sketch #oc #originalcharacters

(17-19/30) Pivoting to a leather bar murder mystery. Might be too big for me to handle, but better than not learning to handle it. #sketch #oc #gayart #originalcharacters

(20-22/30) There's only nine of these, so that's why I'm doing them in threes. #sketch #oc #gayart #originalcharacters

(23-25/30) I think this one was mainly due to me watching a lot of Marlow Murder Club tbh #sketch #oc #gayart #originalcharacters

(26-29/30) And amongst a quick break scribble, #VtM and #DnD characters side by side next to vague scribble of a NB ambassador from a Hejazian isle. #sketch #oc #originalcharacters

(30/30) To crown it all off, the Krodha form of Gauntlet Keeper that @spelledeg.bsky.social designed for this year's challenge (and the future). Done with permission, and with less skill than the excellent Spelledeg (whose work is on the left) #watercolour #sketch #oc #originalcharacters

God now I'm going to have to be irritating and repost all these so that they actually show up on my profile. Feck.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

commission

It is my pleasure to finally announce that my colleagues and I at Hachette Book Group are unionizing! We're asking for any authors, artists, and fellow workers of the world to stand in solidarity with us, and sign our open letter of support at hachetteworkers.com/open-letter

Koi with Water Lilies ~ 16x18 Oil/Panel/Palette Knife - Comission

Japan's 1899 Hokkaido Former Natives Protection Law banned Ainu traditions, forbade the Ainu language, and forced the transfer of Ainu lands to Japanese settlers. It remained on the books until 1997.

As someone working at a Uni that should be welcoming profs from all over, should be a sanctuary for trans, queer, & all Ss who need a place to be, instead we have shuttered our hum dept. This is apt: “There are lots of quote-unquote ‘blue states’ making bananas cuts to their humanities programs.”

These two for #30DaysofCharacters are a love letter to printmaking with some of the brightest colors I'll ever use in my art 🎨 It's also what happens when I let my brain go haywire without regards of coherence or sensibility. So here's a wild mix of decades, styles, levels of formalwear... very fun!

New book to the ever growing collection

Here's another house from the 1994 FutureWorld exhibition for #MKMonday! This one is the aptly named 'FutureHouse', which is the 'house of the future'.

This is great a really helpful “know your enemy” list.

Another mixed media painting of musicians. This one depicts an Irish music session at a wedding in Anstey Hall near Cambridge. The bride who is a flute and whistle player is in yellow (though in fact it was more off-white). I gave the painting to the bride and groom.

#pleinairpril day 12! Beach vibes from Toronto's east end - when I first moved out this way I realized I had no idea we had kilometers of beautiful swimmable beaches here, but we do! and they're great! and you should visit them this summer.

Salammbô with the sacred python - Suzanne-Raphaële Lagneau

Really good video on the packaging of trauma narrative as inoffensive content, but also good about the satanic panic. Also, i'm not surprised Sarah didn't bring it up as it wasn't relevant but the same repressed memory nonsense discussed here also underpins the entire alien abduction phenomenon.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.
