Today's mission is to hang on to my marbles/spoons, and: 1. Draw more moth 2. Somehow get this fluffy, flyaway little shitpickle of a pigment into a jar, without making the air filter so furious it esplodes 3. Survive a studio inspection from Flatline 🐾 4. Excavate a layer of inbox Pray for me.

My hand drawing in a picture of three dry leaf coloured hawkmoths on a circular background of fallen dry leaves. They are well camouflaged, so the background is bisected diagonally and in the top half the leaves are faded, to better show off the moths beautiful colours. They're very good moths, you see.

A big bag of blue pigment labelled as Phthalo blue primary PB15:1, light stable, 100g. That may not sound like much but the particles of this pigment are light, fluffy, flyaway little bastards. So 100g takes up more room than something more obliging like a yellow or red ochre. Also I'm more used to calling this phthalo blue red shade. One more reason why pigment index names like PB15:1 are important.

A fluffy longhaired black cat with yellow eyes sitting on my squishy standing mat in the studio. It is judging me.

Hey Bluesky, could you help spread the word? My goal for the day is one new sale. Here's a lovely pic of some of the Jeremy Creatures currently available at my shop. Each one is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely pic of some of my hand-sewn, fabric art Jeremy Creatures. The ground is green fur and the background is a beautiful galaxy print fabric. One creature is a gray rock with two different sizes black eyes and a little frown. There's a tall ghost with about 35 black eyes of different sizes and a wide mouth full of sharp teeth. There's another spirit with many eyes, twirly head wisps, and an open mouth with sharp teeth. There's also a ghost with a tiny face, with two different sized eyes and a little frown. There's a black ghost with a gray moon face, their body covered with hand-embroidered stars and planets of various sizes and colors. There's a frowny white ghost featuring embroidered red flowers. There's a super tiny frowny white ghost, and a super tiny black ghost with four eyes and embroidered stars.

Am I allowed to be unreasonably excited because I just got delivery of a new (to me) pigment? One that might help me solve a mystery from a collection of old pigments I inherited 7(ish) yrs ago?? Cos I'm trying to be sensible about it… But TBH I just wanna scamper around my kitchen yelling eeeee!

A steel pot of water on a hob, in which 2 beakers and a bottle of amber liquid are being kept warm. They're labelled as cherry, peach, and GA (gum arabic) normal. They're different tree saps being dissolved for use in watercolour binder.

There’s a bit in Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age where someone finds a scrap of handwoven fabric and unravels it, whilst being utterly baffled by how the ubiquitous 3-D printers could possibly have fabricated it. In this age of AI, I think of this increasingly often.

It's been a while since I've done a smol good things thread, but I think I need one today. Small good things in a fkd up world: 1. I made this many colours of paint today 2. Tiny stripey jumping spoods seem to be doing well here

A town of 11 syringes of various sizes filled with freshly made watercolour paint. The paints are in shades of greens, blues, and violets, mostly based on various green earths, red ochres, and ultramarines. The syringes range from 20 to 60 mL. They're all labelled on yellow tape in scrawly illegible handwriting that I can't read without my good specs on.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

A poem and drawing for your saturday

A poem titled "Swim to Me", made up of 2 haikus. Below them is a black and white drawing. The text of the poem reads:

"in the turning flood
unable to see the shore
scared of the tumult

you reached for my hand
'Kick!' you said. "Breathe. Swim to me.'
and I found the strength."

The drawing is a black and white ink-pen drawing made of abstract shapes and lines that probably looks like a man with weirdly formed arms swimming through the water, doing some version of the breast stroke. His head is up and he is looking forward, but his expression is uncertain.

Librarians! Zine-Makers! This new Temporary Services zine (made with @doormouse12.bsky.social) is for you! We interviewed 4 public librarians that maintain zine collections and the result is a beautiful 44 page booklet. See and learn how they do it! $10.00 (or $3.00 PDF) from www.halfletterpress.com

From the front and back cover of the booklet:

Public Librarians Discuss Zine Collections

We asked librarians at four public libraries to talk about their library’s zine collection. What advice can they share with zine makers that want to get their work into a public library, or librarians that want to start a collection at their library? Was it hard to convince others that zines are a resource that the library should collect? What collecting models did they follow? How did they build the collection?

Possible signs/symptoms that you may run arts workshops: - you own at least 1 crate like this - your collage materials have their own crate - you collect used pens for recycling - you couldn't find the potato peeler in ur own house, but can come up with 20 set squares/scissors/etc in 5 secs flat

A big plastic wheelie crate with the contents emptied out. It includes: boxes of art supplies labeled as for under 4 year olds, ages 4+, Sharpies and sketching pencils. A giant box of assorted scissors a sack of felt tip pens and pencils in bundles, a stack of boxes of pastels, a jar full of dice, a zipper bag full of precision scissors, glue sticks, and paintbrushes, a carton of acrylic gouache paints, a box of pencil sharpeners and erasers, and a jar marked for plastic pens for recycling. There's a stack of paper pads and boxes of fancy-ass pencils left in the crate. Whew. It's a fucken lot, I tells you.

Haven't had much time to draw this week or last, but I've still been doing the breakfast doodle warm-ups to make sure my hands don't forget how a pencil works! It's all about practice. Quite like this pocket landscape. Might do another without the big trees, not so fond of them. Still a fun doodle!

A watercolour sketchbook page covered in pencil doodles of trompe l'oeil holes and canyons, little colour swatches, and a small landscape in one corner. The landscape is of a river winding through fjords, with silhouettes of trees, and a few big trees in the foreground. The river waterfalls off the edge of the page. The shading is not particularly smooth in places, but that's because I'm the kind of asshat that draws in pencil on my watercolour paper sometimes.

A close up on the small landscape described in the previous pic. Most of the landscape is in dark sepia with the river in grey-green and greenish blues. The foreground tree shapes are in moss green and to be honest I don't like them, but this was still a fun doodle & experiment so it's all good. This is how we learn, & the worst doodle is still better than so-called-AI slop.
