I would suggest adding some Colorverse inks and a Lamy fountain pen to your list. Pens that are expensive because of exterior flash make me less likely to use them. Also, Colorverse inks have fun names like Horsehead Nebula.

Rediscovered this miniatures company and happy to see they're still making weird little guys. I backed their first medieval marginalia set a while ago and those little guys are delightful.

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

TIME AND TIDE (2009) Oil - 24” x 18” This painting started out to be just a morning exercise, kind of a companion idea to TIME'S PASSING. 1/2 #art

Rippling cobalt sea fades to pale sky as seen through a tall rectangular portal set in the wall of ancient ruins. Rough in outline where blocks are missing—showing through where the fit is uneven—the "window" outward is bathed in golden light and framed by an arched doorway, which is in turn bordered by a simple carved stone arch set in relief. The base is grown over with leafy vines blossoming with pale lavender wildflowers. Beyond the window floats a transparent sphere containing a solitary flame. Set on the stone step leading to the view out, the spiral of an ammonite rests open end up, drawing the viewers eye up to the floating sphere and above where missing blocks show through to pale blue.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

allow me to surf on odyssey hype to repost an old piece from 2013 Penelope, Queen of Ithaca - 30x40cm ink on claybord

a black and white scratchboard illustration depicting Penelope, queen of Ithaca waiting for Odysseus. She is standing at the edge of a small stone platform, the sea right underneath, like by a ray of light, wrapped in black robes. Behind her, stairs climb back up the hill behind tall pine trees. In the distance, a square palace sits on the top of the hill, with light coming from the windows.

Oh, this is one of the most aggrieving food safety failure sources & it's been going on since I was a newlywed living in CA. As it gets hotter, providing farm workers not ONLY with good portapotties and adequate bathroom breaks but ALSO plenty of fresh cool water and shade is even more crucial now.

It feels like a huge deal just to get an hour or two in on a painting. Miles to go before I'm done. Thank goodness I don't owe this to anybody or I would feel terrible. I get so little time in on art that I sometimes think I can feel myself rusting.

The interior illustrations by Phil Hale in The Drawing of the Three are SO GOOD. I stared at them for hours.

A painting of a man straddling a man laying on the ground, holding a knife to his neck. Use of negative space suggest photographic influences, the pale ground has a desert or dry plains texture.

I used to run a page called For Exposure, where I featured funny quotes from people who refused to pay artists. I let it die when Twitter did. But I just found some of the For Exposure Illustrated drawings I did, and I figured I'd let them live here.

This is a terrible economy, and wallet vampires like you make projects more unattainable than usual. (illustrated with a vampire biting wallets.)

Don't apply if you're a jerk, just tell me how fast you work. (illustrated as though it's a Dr. Seuss story)

i want you to draw but I can't pay you. i can send you nudes instead? (illustrated as a hairy weirdo posing nude with the banners of text covering him.)

now lets talk about our futur plans. we hope to get bublished by image comics or eny other large bublishers. (screen readers may not express how horribly misspelled all of that is. it is illustrated with a dopey-eyed meme cat in a business suit.)
