Some tiny spoopy paintings! #Arting #SomethingIMade #SpoopySeason
Five coffin-shaped wooden pendants, each with a (mostly) black and white spooky scene painted on it.  All feature a full moon in the background - sometimes high and small, sometimes low and large.  On the top row left, the moon shines down on a cemetery with a low mist rolling through it; top right is a bare tree silhouetted against the full moon; bottom left is a large and low full moon taking up most of the horizon, with a field of conifers scattered about; bottom center is another moonlit graveyard; bottom right is the only one with a hint of other color - it is a low full moon mostly risen over the horizon, reflecting a little bit on a midnight blue sea.  The tentacles of a kraken are waving in silhouette against the moon.

Dammit. I was working on a tiny painting, and someone DINGDONG-DASHed me, and it startled me, and I messed up the painting!

Re my last repost: we're so lucky to have a lifetime of handcrafted things whatever happens with AI Yes. But: A ton of us, most of us are still making handcrafted things. I have never used AI in my process. I resent that we have to create and publish under unfounded suspicion now.

I'm making some emotional support ghosts for the next artist market... but I'm not sure if I should put some little mouths on them. Does it look like they just have heart-shaped screaming mouths...?
A pair of unfinished ghosts made of white felt.  The one on the right is slightly larger.  Each one has a (deliberately) roughly sewn-on pink heart.  They have black button eyes in mismatched sizes.

I met a couple of new friends at the park, today!
A very small orange butterfly with black circular markings, with black borders with white edges on its wings, is living its best life in a sunny clover patch.  (The butterfly is about the size of two clovers side-by-side.)A large "horned" owl with mottled and striped feathers stares intensely at the camera with his large golden eyes.

There are serious things to say about authoritarianism, manipulation, and cults of personality, but “lol, drink the Kool-Aid” does none of that work. It makes the victims’ supposed gullibility the memorable part and lets the machinery of their captivity and agonizing death disappear.

Are you using a dehydrator with a fan or just plain old heat? (I have some lil hot peppers I'd like to dehydrate... but also don't want to accidentally flood the house with pepper gas...)

Someone asked me if I could describe my artistic style, and I responded that it's somewhere between, "Tell me you're ADHD without telling me you're ADHD," and, "That weird shop your D&D party would insist on visiting whenever they're in town".

Some Girl Scouts were making their rounds at First Friday, encouraging people to promise to vote!

I made some teeny-tiny spoopy paintings for today's #FirstFriday at Factory Arts District, behind Full Circle 9 Gallery! #Arting #Watercolors #Spoopy #SomethingIMade
Five tiny ornately decorated gold picture frames are arranged on an art board.  Four of them have portraits of assorted ghosts - one wearing a tophat, one waving, one wearing goggles, and one floating next to a red balloon.  There is one painting of a spooky house, backlit by the full moon.

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

Got picked up by @ludibriumventis.bsky.social to go to the airport- make 2 bohemian rhapsody references, and then it comes on. This will be a good trip.

Gotta say, though, it was really nifty driving the mostly deserted streets, through all of the intersections that were still blinking (in Indy, minor intersections turn into 2-way stops between--I think--midnight and 6am), and didn't have to worry about the sun even once!

I got up at 3:30am to take a friend to the airport, and now I feel weird because I've passed through that liminal time barrier between "stupid late" to "stupid early", as well as that liminal space that is The Airport... yet The Day has not yet even started.

I did some more gardening - got even more tomatoes (and left a lot of them for another day), as well as cleared the stuff growing from the cracks in the front walk (and cursing the person who "fixed" the old pavement by simply spreading a thin layer of new cement over top of it...)

Ludibriumventis @ludibriumventis.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
At this point, I'm pretty sure that, even though I probably won't plant any tomatoes, next year, my entire yard will be Oops All Tomatoes! I'm not THAT upset at the thought, though...

I've got another load of grape tomatoes in the dehydrator, and another pot of assorted tomatoes stewing on the stove, to eventually become bouillon. There are still tomatoes outside... #TheTomatoing

I took a long walk in the park while I worked on my scene for tomorrow's class, and found some magic and whimsy along the way. #NaturePhotography #ECK #FungusAmongUs
Several delicate, translucent white mushrooms stand up out of some grass and clover, their caps pointing upward like tiny bowls or inverted umbrellas A large tree trunk twists all the way around, as if wringing itself outA hawthorn trunk bristles with clusters of large sharp thorns Several teeny tiny mushrooms, each with a white cap with a dark dot in the center, sprout amongst the clover.  Each cap is about the size of one clover leaf.
