More thing from my Museum of Dust: upper left is the cow I got with my preorder of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for the Nintendo GameCube. I love the cow.

I just learned that Oscar the Grouch has a girlfriend and she’s so cute! A lot has happened on Sesame Street since I stopped watching…

More things in my house: a goblin king from the old Wizards of the Coast mall stores. His Majesty is in need of dusting.

More stuff in my house: Grandpa‘s mermaid doll that sat on a shelf in his bar, and that child me was obsessed with. She’s probably the original reason I loved mermaids from an early age. I wish I hadn’t cut her hair.

Another thing in my house: this guy.

Things in my house #2: Castle Heterodyne (mini version)

I never have anything to post on social media. Welcome to things lying around my house. Exhibit A: the red Swingline stapler I have had since the mid 70s.

I don’t know what kind these are but they’re in my yard. I think we have gnomes.

My tea plant is blooming and the flowers smell so nice.

I can’t fully express how grateful we are for the support folks are showing for our GoFundMe campaign. it’s all so deeply appreciated, thank you all so much. Things have got so bad, and it’s been so frightening. This is really going to help get us through. Thank you!❤️

An unexpected benefit to staying up late working: I get to listen to a bunch of coyotes yelling at each other somewhere nearby. I love their weird voices.

#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's one of the things that's been keeping me busy! In addition to the new cat medals, we have the limited-run collectible medals from the latest Girl Genius issues and some leftover medals and patches from earlier campaigns! catroyaltymedals.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Instead of getting ready to stream tonight, I spent this morning finishing Phil's new Patreon site for his more spicy artworks. He's working on a Tarot deck, and that's the main focus, but we have some other card-themed things to show as well!

First salad of the season from Phil’s garden! Thank you, Phil, it was lovely!

Now the water is mysteriously working again. The city map showed an emergency outage several blocks away, I’m going to guess that our problem was connected with whatever that was. Super weird.

The water has completely stopped working at our house. No idea why and it’s the middle of the night. These are not the adventures I had hoped for.

I finished my paintings and celebrated by trying out my new cake pan! The Christmas tree is still standing. Maybe tomorrow.

I’m so close to having the second painting done, but it won’t be done tonight and I need to sleep. Here’s Bobo who should have been named Baldrick I guess, but he’s never had a cunning plan in his life.

I’m a member of the club, I’m afraid. Still swamped with work.

I finished one of my very overdue paintings! And turned it in! And the art director said nice things! And I’m under NDA and can’t show it to you so here’s Lord Percy Percy instead.

Not…exactly how I put it, Phil. But it was a treat and a privilege to meet him. Thank you, Secret Garden book shop in Seattle for the opportunity!

Paintings still in progress, the paper decided to object to my paint and make me cry. Tree is still up. Here’s an angel riding a snail that we’ve had for so long I don’t even know where we got it.

Here’s a little troll hag I bought at Tomtar & Troll in Stockholm back in the 90s. She has a fuzzy little cow tail!

My paintings are still in progress, and so my tree remains up. Here’s Chibiteratsu, the little sun deity.

When I finish my art deadline, maybe then I’ll get the Christmas tree taken down.

I thought I’d go around and take pictures of my stuff to show everyone. A lot of my goblin treasures wound up on a shelf upstairs when we cleaned up for a party a while back, and they need a good reorg and dusting. Here’s the current chaos.

Hey Cinderella! Our Cat Royalty and Fantastical Costume Medals #Kickstarter ends one minute before midnight tonight! (Friday, 01/17/25) #girlgenius Here’s the link: kck.st/3VAqElx

I finally got out for a walk today, and found more mushrooms!

Phil asked to borrow this book so I went and pulled it off the shelf-the inscription inside tells me I was given it when I was 7. I loved it dearly all my childhood and I still do.

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 1/15 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Normally we break Double-Page Spreads up over two updates– but to hell with that, we've been waiting for this for over 10 YEARS. So now I get to take Friday off…And do my taxes. Yay.

The #Kickstarter campaign ends Friday! Here’s the official collectible medal for Volume 20! Back our Cat Royalty and Fantastical Costume Medals Kickstarter! Here’s the link: kck.st/3VAqElx

Having dinner at Mom’s house and looking at some of my very old art hanging on the wall.

I’ve always loved that I share a birthday with HAL

Big bug lanterns! Aaaand…frog. I had such a good time.

Yesterday I did my best to photograph all our extra Kickstarter campaign medals from old campaigns. I'll be listing those on BackerKit once the current campaign ends in 7 days. Here's one of my favorites! The current Cat Royalty campaign: kck.st/3VAqElx

Also seen at the zoo tonight, this sleepy darling. I remember when the Komodo dragon exhibit was new. The dragons were a lot smaller.

I also liked the unicorns!

For my birthday present we went to see the lanterns at the Woodland Park Zoo. This was my favorite.

Yum yum

Bokoblin gots a cookie

The samples for the medals are here! Nine days to go on the Kickstarter campaign!

The roses are also trying very hard.

Argh I meant to post this here, not on the Girl Genius account. Well, here it is.

One of my neighbors’ trees is doing its best in the cold dark and rain.

Happy New Year, here’s the friendship rock.

Some lovely mushrooms I saw yesterday.

Happy New Year! Here’s my latest little guy, he came in the mail yesterday!
