Evergreen Zine Fest is under two months away and I'm excited to share my sticker design for the inaugural event! Purchase this and other amazing products that support the zine union and local artists on April 25 at the Bayside Cafe in Everett, WA. I'll be there with 30+ other vendors selling zines!

Digital art of a little long-toed salamander on a minicomic under the shade of wild ginger, embraced with a wreath of twinflower. The background is solid brown, like kraft paper. There is a pink drawing of the Rucker Tomb on the minicomic.

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

In times like these, when it feels like there's little we can do as individuals to make the world a better place, we can look to mutual aid for solutions. We can also get inspired by examples of a similar concept in biology, mutualism.

It’s time for #artvsartist! This was the best year for art that I’ve had in several years. In 2026 I’m hoping to do more paintings and maybe take a few more selfies. #artvsartist2025

A picture of Kel (Mossy Stone Media) is at the center of a grid of 9 images, sitting in an alpine environment, looking happy while taking a photo with a DSLR camera. The surrounding images are, clockwise from top left: pika-chu, a black and white self-portrait, a person from the "Naturehood" zine, an embroidered and block printed magpie, a Western gray squirrel illustration, an embroidered and block-printed pride raccoon, a liverwort salamander adapted from Cryptogam Cryptids, and an acoustic tile of pride muskoxen protecting trans calves. All illustrations are digitally drawn unless otherwise noted.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Seeking references & exploring ideas and possibilities in real things is what makes the best curated boards and references! Quality references will in turn give you better quality results that aren't marred by made up garbled imagery from who-knows-where. It's like eating good food, but for your art

the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation

Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday ! I come to you bearing holiday gift ideas for people who love mushrooms, squirrels, zines, and everything in betweens. For the Pacific Northwest nature lover in your life. 20% off storewide until midnight tonight Pacific time. www.etsy.com/shop/MossySt...

Seven vinyl mushroom stickers are set against flagstone, surrounded by leaves and mushrooms. The stickers are labeled digital art and include oyster mushroom, lobster mushroom, morel mushrooms, rainbow chantarelle, birch bolete, turkey tail, and shaggy ink cap.

A cream-colored linen-textured print is set in a redcedar tree. The digital art print includes seven squirrels and is titled "Tree Squirrels of the Pacific Northwest." The squirrels are on arranged on a redcedar bough, labeled with scientific and common names, and include the American red, Eastern gray, Humboldt's flying, Eastern fox, Western gray, Douglas, and northern flying. The squirrels that have been introduced to the region are marked with an asterisk.

A bright yellow half-page risograph-printed zine is set against a backdrop of fallen maple leaves. The zine is titled "Field Guide to Cryptogam Cryptids," by Kel Skonberg, Second Edition. The cover is a two-color risograph print of green and pink.

An interior spread from the zine in the previous picture is held open by a bracken fern. The selected pages are risograph-printed in green and are titled "Mossy mammals" and "Mushroom mollusks." There is text describing the four digital illustrations of invented creatures, which include the ground bog muskrat, rusty pear porcupine, devil's jumping slug, and (covered) eyelash sideband.

Text on each page the left page: "Moss guardians are complete autotrophs, getting all of their energy from the sun. Spores can be found on or in their heads. They go into torpor or hibernation when water or nutrient availability is low."

Text on the right page reads: "Fungi guardians all appear to be invertebrates, particularly gastropods. Thus far, I have only been able to find the guardians when fruiting, and I suspect they burrow to protect the hyphae during other times of the year."

A fantasy-style map depicting Geek Girl Con's vendor and artist hall. Written over the map in purple and white is "I'll be at GeekGirlCon 2025 this weekend Nov. 8-9, #44." For emphasis, a circle is placed around Booth 44, about two-thirds of the way across the room when coming form the escalators. A line of mushrooms leads from the escalators to the booth. An illustration of Kel, the artist, with a couple of mushrooms is pointing to the booth.
