Regatta Mixed media, 2026 I took the lines of several nautical illustrations from the British Library’s public domain archive and added color with markers and acrylic pens. Too much, but I loved all the boats so much I couldn’t stop adding more!

Several ships and a couple of sea monsters, painted in rainbow colors, sailing across a blue sea!

Went to the Nature Center, which was hosting plein air outdoor painting today! It was fun chatting with everyone, too.

There’s a nationwide blood shortage in the US thanks to this summer’s heat, smoke, and diarrhea, so I finally updated my blog! larkandshell.com/2026/07/28/a... I love donating blood! I really want to make some art to go with the article, still brainstorming that.

A Call to My Fellow Nerds to Donate Blood

Before my amazing coworker Sabrina invited me to donate blood at a work-sponsored drive, it had never crossed my mind as a real thing I could do. Volunteering to be poked with a needle was like sk…

Talking too much at the D&D table? I recommend a Kenku rogue that speaks mainly in lyrics from Skee-Lo’s “I Wish”.

Last time, I made my players fight, fold, and travel via origami on a paper themed adventure.

A game of D&D where players face an origami turtle. The map is also origami paper.

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

We had no lemons, so here is Coco, our lime pig. We gave her an arcade token so she could absorb all of the bad video games for 2025.

This time last year I got sick of not being able to draw comics. So I made a plan… I came up with a “gentle comics habit.” If you are a person who is trying to gently kickstart your comics drawing in the new year, I wrote a blog post for you. www.sophieyanow.com/a-gentle-com...
