I had a visual migraine yesterday so I tried to recreate what I saw. It started as a small dot, that grew into a crescent moon and slowly grew too big for my vision.

My goal for myself was to make at least one painting every day of the trip. Once I got in the habit of it I ended up painting a LOT

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

An unforeseen advantage of leaving academia to be an artist is that I have lost a big pressure to perform at a certain level at a certain age. Artists start at any age and only improve with time. Plus theres not really a linear type of progression.

I’m thinking of making ‘blind box’ soil bacteria pins. You open a package and 1/6 potential bacteria is inside. Both as a fun gift and genuine way to communicate that scientists have the soil as a blind box and find whatever they find.

9:41 Dragon, Vigil's Keep #dragonage

an illustration of Zevran Arainai trying to stop Hero of Ferelden, Warden Ulric Cousland from leaving the Vigil's Keep with the other Wardens lured by the fake Calling from Corypheus

Zevran is desperately talking (maybe even yelling at?) to Ulric, touching his face with one hand, holding a dagger in the other. Ulric as in a trance/sleep walking is reaching behind Zevran, looking like he's ignoring him.

They are lit up by the full moon behind them. Around them, other Wardens are leaving the keep. All of the wardens' eyes are shining red.

I want to bully people into making science comics! I just applied to give a comic workshop at @big-stem-network.bsky.social :3 This is one of my favorite workshops, people always surprise me (and themselves) with their creations. Everyone is a storyteller, I am here to remind people of it.

I massively dislike the driving part or cyberpunk 2077. I have regular nightmares in which I lose control of the car Im driving and Im such a bad driver in that game that it just fuels that fear. (Based on very little. I haven’t actually lost control of a car irl)

It frustrates me when some academics act like they are ‘above’ using social media or scicomm. I totally have empathy if someone just doesnt like socials (so valid) but I feel like we can at least all accept that there is value in talking science on socials.
