Been doing a fun Catober challenge based on prompts from artist Ethan Slayton & The Drawing Board in Montpelier, VT. Here's a few faves so far! (The rest, sigh, are on IG) Prompts in order: Costume Cat Warlock Cat Shadow Cat

Getting ready to ship my first ever submission off to the art show at @armadillocon.bsky.social Have fun in TX, little paintings! They'll be on view September 11th-13th, 2026

Looking down at the floor where 7 of my paintings are arranged on a large white paper. From L to R, top to bottom are an ornate gold and pink many-eyed creature, a Baba Yaga cottage, a Crow-Gryphon, a rabbit harpy at sunset, a large blue rabbit peering over a horns-up crescent moon, a rabbit harpy at sunrise, and a unicorn made of pale green ribbony shapes. The tips of my feet are visible at the edge.

I don't often pull out the cadmium red, but when I do, it's rather fun! Especially with some iridescent gold. ⚜️ Little medieval-illumination-inspired cat on a 4x6" canvas panel. "Just for fun", I thought. "I won't invest too much time in this..."(Invests many hours)...

My friend @deadlymartha.bsky.social is busy putting out projects like these ODD LITTLE LETTERS. You could get real mail once a month, that is chock full of musings and art thoughts and really fun drawings, and often includes a fun little print or other surprise. Mine came today 😻 marthahull.com

@anymouse68.bsky.social did a little Fern-from-Frieren fanart in pencil last week, and then the drawing mysteriously vanished. I finally found it tonight, on a stack of books 🤷🏽‍♀️ so I spent the evening inking. He likes it! #frieren #pigmamicron

There is a lot of fun stuff in this online auction. www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket... (full disclosure: I work here. One of the events is with me. We're fundraising to replace a bridge which was moved badly by a flood. But I don't get any extra benefit, except new bridge on which to sit and bird!)

During the summer of 2024, the bridge that crosses Sherman Hollow Brook, was nearly washed out. Damage limited access to the Gale’s Retreat and cut off the 60 acres of public trails — a loss for hike...

So....maybe I will participate in #gameofshrooms for the first time, after all! I just have to figure out where to hide these. I think a lot of folks are hiding theirs in Burlington, but I may find a few spots in Essex VT. Game of Shrooms is Saturday June 13th!

An assortment of 4" square sepia line drawings on a worktable. All contain a mushroom of some kind. The drawings are overlapped and a sketchbook is visible beneath.

My hand is holding a 4" square ink and watercolor painting. It's of a frog in a quasi-eastern European garb including peasant vest and kerchief. She holds a trundle basket of morels and a few ramp leaves.

Every now and then I like to ink something that @anymouse68.bsky.social has drawn in pencil. My only request was that the character be flipping pancakes. Pencil by him, ink by me, both done while hanging out at our favorite coffee spot this morning. #kobayashidragonmaid

Pencil drawing of the character Elma (from Kobayashi's Dragon Maid) experiencing the terror of flipping a pancake with the pan. Elma has a unicorn horn on her forehead.
