"It's given a lot of people permission to be themselves, to not dream it, be it, which is the motto of the movie, really. I would like to be remembered for that." Farewell to Tim Curry (1946-2026) #RIP

Tim Curry should also be remembered for featuring in the best between takes photo of an actor in recorded history.

Fellow Crawlers, after a week+ of painting, I'm pleased to give to you Prepotente Lorenzo De La Rosa, or simply Pony to his friends. I hope you dig it. #DungeonCrawlerCarl #DigitalArt "Take a Bow" Digital Painting

I was hoping repetition of the same face would help me improve. Instead I just kinda started feeling creepy staring at a stranger's face that much 👀 Enjoyed the vintage ties. Might do some more of those. #sketchbook

Who wants to get in on the ground floor of my new kidlit crime procedural

Peacock spiders are only 4mm long, but their courtship dance rivals any bird of paradise. Australia has over 90 species of these tiny, ultra-colorful performers.

Thought of another fun exercise everyone can try: turn Bouba and Kiki (of the Bouba/Kiki Effect) into characters that fit your own tastes and interests

Characters Bouba and Kiki posing heroically. Bouba is round and soft and she wields a mace, and Kiki is sharp and angular and wields a sword.

I almost never draw full figures, so I'm not sure what possessed me to attempt these three very challenging poses. 🤷‍♀️ Coulda done worse though, I think. #sketchbook

Sketches of three women in skates. One seems to be skating quickly, one in a split legged pose, and one seems to be dancing.

I know i’m very late to this party but on what rational earth does Netflix not just let Shonda Rhimes make a Detective Cupp mystery every year? She gave you Bridgestone for fucks sake. And it’s a goddam delight.

Last drawing in the sketchbook and it had to be a giraffe. Rendered with Pentel GraphGear mechanicals and Blu-Tack for highlights. Mandy Mitchell's photography was the spark. No regrets. Full pages.

Graphite drawing of a giraffe's face and upper neck rendered in close frontal view on cream-toned sketchbook paper. Detailed fur texture, expressive dark eyes, and soft highlights created with lifting. Sketchbook held open on a wooden table with mechanical pencils below.

It's so satisfying when something is named right. So you'll know how happy I am to say this is the GLORIOUS FLATWORM, Pseudobiceros gloriosus, native to the benthic zone of the Indo-Pacific. They lack internal organs: no heart or blood vessels, no gills. But /reproduction/ is where it gets WEIRD.

Didn't do either of them justice, but I very much enjoyed sketching this while listening to the delightful #Humans episode with Helen Hunt. I was also a weirdo teen who loved Mad About You, although I had more of a crush on Paul Reiser. #sketchbook

Idk if this magnolia bloom is really much larger than usual or just seems huge because it's not above my head. Definitely bigger than a soup plate... I think.

Oozing back and just kind of being accepted is a longstanding and highly successful tactic for awful men. This is your friendly reminder that it only works if we let it. Block that waste of space.

Almost certainly the best photo I will ever take from an Iron Age hillfort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn. www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

The sun setting over the Severn Estuary as seen from the top of Uley Bury hill fort. I took this photo in September, 2021, on the most perfect windless evening, feeling euphoric having finished the edits on my debut novel, Villager. The whole walk felt like I'd temporarily stepped inside a Kit Williams painting, which was apt since for the last several decades he has lived not far from here, and the landscape was a prime inspiration for his masterpiece Masquerade. I still associate this scene with Villager, which, although it's inspired by a more rugged landscape a couple of hours south west of here, it has some very Villager elements. If you are new to my writing and would like to read an excerpt from the book (one of the sillier, easier-to-read parts of it) you'll find one in the link. I promise it's not shit.

Fashion tips from nature. A very old comic that I still really like.

A comic called Fashion Tips from Nature. A dress with a monarch butterfly pattern is shown next to a dress with a viceroy pattern, with text that says "Poisonous? Share the news with bold stripes. Or coordinate with a toxic friend!" An owl moth with eyespots is shown next to shoes with eyespots on the toes, with text "Keep your dates on their toes with these terrifying eyespots." A row of tank tops are shown with text "These classic looks are timeless and practical." There's a leaf patterned one, a bark one, a bird poop one with a giant swallowtail caterpillar, and a tank top with a false head on it next to a hairstreak. A polo shirt with a yellow inflatable air sac is shown next to a greater prairie chicken and text that says "inflatable air sacs keep you party-ready." A hat with incredibly long king of saxony bird of paradise plumes is shown with text "Amaze your crush with your ability to sport this style, yet still move and find food."
