If you see this post a witch! #Witch #Comic

A four panel comic reading from left to right. First panel: A young witch girl stands over a bubbling cauldron reading from a book. She says "hmmm...This recipe calls for eye of newt." A newt sits on a stack of books behind her. Second panel: The witch girl looks at the newt and it looks startled with an exclamation point over its head. Third panel: A close-up of the newt's face and it looks very sad and pathetic with pleading eyes. Fourth panel: The newt now has an eyepatch. The witch girl, back at her cauldron, irritably reads from the recipe book "AND toe of frog?" Black and white digital drawing. Comic series in upper left reads "a circle is round." Artist name in mid right reads "morriebird."

Repost, with alt text! Bremerton First Friday at the @daniellerimbert.bsky.social February art show. This is my piece, "Dad's Hug," inspired by a zoo photo of me & my Dad when I was little. In memoriam, "Love, Loss, and Light," 💔❤️ #bremertonfirstfriday #rimbertillustration #love #loss #light

A photo of me, wearing my Dad's blazer, posing next to an illustration I did of him in memoriam, which is an ink drawing with brown ink on brown paper of he and I years ago (him holding me up at the zoo while the seals were behind us).

A Winter Morning We got an inch or so of snow overnight which helped create this unique light. It was extremely still and the water was very calm except for the ripples caused by the birds. #photography #PhotographersUnited #KitsapCounty #gallery365in2025 #gallery365

#Throwback to a comics character post from January 2021, originally insomnia inspired. Not quite fully there now, but, fell asleep unexpectedly/now awake at what should be a proper bedtime. A bit hard to properly rest of late. #illustration #ink #sleepy #sad #grayink #characterdesign #comics #fae

Excited to see so many familiar faces joining BlueSky! It's scary to rely on social media to share public events and spaces, especially when the overlords are behaving badly. We love building the Bremerton &zine community so we can stay connected.

In this cold weather, a fun thing to do for kids and adults is to bring some trees indoors. Take cuttings of small branches, put them in a warm place in some water, and watch what happens. Some trees will do nothing, but many, especially the early-flowering trees, are eager to show their stuff.
