Second cover I created for • Year’s Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • In twilight blue colour-way 🦋🎨 @hexagonmagazine.bsky.social

Cover art I created for • Year's Best Arthropod Short Fiction Vol. 3 by Hexagon Magazine • - Cover is a rectangle of a symmetrical detailed mirror half drop repeat pattern inspired by arts and crafts era wallpaper. In the middle section is a dragonfly facing down from overhead with paper wasps facing outwards above over top of branching leaves. Below and above is the central repeated motif of a large leaf insect from above framed by lace wing butterflies turned outward and stag beetles facing inward.
Surrounding and underneath all of them are stylized leaf branches with round large berries. The entire pattern is in periwinkle and darker twilight blues with pops of pale off white pink for the berries. Over top is a fine line ink work in dark blue and pale pastel blue for threadbare highlights on the wasp and butterfly wings.

pov you're the FBI agent assigned to my computer camera watching me debase myself for ref over the years

Photo of me holding a glowing blue sword in pink light, the blue lighting up one of my eyes.

Me in a green striped shirt and a baseball hat in front of a white wall with picture frames, holding my hands up in two different gestures.

Me sitting in my chair, holding up a piece of cardboard which I cradle in both of my arms in front of my body and part of my face. Behind me is a very full bookcase.

Saying yes to a whole lot of, some might say too much, work --> realizing you will not be leaving your studio or seeing the light of day until 2027

As always with the art I make for the ReadySketchGoLA figure drawing newsletter I both spent too much and not enough time on this.

Sketchy digital drawing of model Stephanie Inagaki with glowing eyes and wild hair, baring vampire fangs with blood around her mouth. She is wearing a white frilly collar. Poster reads "DRACULA'S BRIDE" in gothic script.

Hey I did a Magic: the Gathering card. Actually I've done almost 30 at this point but this is the first one that's actually out :,) Draconic Visitor - AD Jason Gomez - coming out next month in the Reality Fracture release.

Digital illustration - a red dragon with twisting, impossible in perspective horns flies through an equally impossible twisting, spherical staircase, in the middle of a giant glowing backlit hall full of upside down staircases and draconic statues.

The aforementioned illustration in it's borderless "Draconic Visitor" card frame.

Companies love to do this shit, even to freelancers. I once had a Fortune 500 company contact ME for illustrations and then we get through rate talks etc and they’re suddenly like, ok but before we hire you can you send us a resume. Excuse me? … excuse me?!

Hi, poor person here. this is an incorrect trope often used by the upper classes. both political parties cater to the very rich who have oddball priorities often driven by esoteric moral values. the poor are never given an option to vote for any of their own interests at all. thanks for reading.

I have always loved his work but seeing so many of his paintings up close for the first time I really was able to appreciate his exceptional talent for texture and textile.

The children’s picture book room alone was just oh you know a casual collection of Winnie the Pooh, Babar, Madeline, Eloise originals, Arthur Rackham, Beatrix Potter, Brian Froud and Maurice Sendak paintings ⚰️

Every five feet I got to see an original I never thought I would get to lay eyes on. What a gift of a museum.

Zoë van Dijk @creepcaptain.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

This collection was completely insane, and it was so beautiful to see so many seminal works of illustration that up until now have only lived in private collections or odd one off shows pulled together into one space.

some more ceramic pieces from last month!

A little ceramic sculpture of a brown appaloosa horse with various shades of cream and black making up its spots.

A little brown creature with a long neck, nubby horns, and a white belly.
Little black spots are all over its body and it sports a delicate pink blush over its cheeks.

A white dish with little blue, big eyed fish and stars circling the inside.

A photo of two white dishes with a brown checkerboard pattern on the inside.
In the centre of them is an aged gold finish.

Mt. Wilson observatory runs alternating classical and jazz concerts every weekend all summer long! It was raining so they couldn’t open the dome but we did take it for a full spin 💃🏻 the sound in there is unreal

Had a very nice rainy day up at Mt. Wilson Observatory for a chamber concert.

Mt Wilson Observatory’s white telescope dome viewed through trees against a grey cloudy sky.

Inside of the 100 inch telescope dome, looking up at the ceiling.

View from Mt. Wilson of all of LA, grey cloudy skies parting to expose a view all the way to the ocean. Dead trees remain on the hillside from the Altadena fire.

View from the road up at a smaller telescope dome, all white, rising up from the trees.
