Still progressing on this Game Boy project. Animating like this in GB Studio isn't exactly straight-forward, and I haven't seen anyone tackle it quite like this. Pretty happy with how it's moving. #wip #gameboy #gamedev #gbstudio #pixelart #animation #zoetrope

I'm feeling proud, lucky, and out-of-place among such a band of fictioneers. Yet, I have a a rough, quick punch among a host of lush moods and extravagance in the collection Animal Noir, edited by Elizabeth Mitchell, Feb 24. book: littlekeypress.com#animalnoir e-book: books2read.com/b/animalnoir

A perfect winter's morning.

Show shoveled away to reveal the undulating, frozen surface of a lake. The frozen path meanders.

Morning sun over a snow-covered lake. Sihoutetted trees line the horizon.

A person with a long pony tail, in a fluffy pink coat, stands, facing away from the viewer on a snow-covered frozen lake.

A beached boat and dock at the edge of a snow-covered frozen lake. Homes and trees ring the shoreline.

Got to walk on a frozen lake for the first time in my life today. It was as amazing as I imagined it would be. 💕

These come out of research into some beautiful mason bees who pollinate prickly pear cactus and who lay their eggs in snail shells. Some N. American Osmia species bees have come to prefer imported, European shells, sharing a common trait with their Osmia bicolor cousins in Europe who do the same.

If you'll be around IL/Chi in Sept and you want to camp at a small, regional burn--hosted by long-time Burners, but welcome to everypeep--then come to BURN Burn! I'll be there volunteering, providing art like the Carnix™, and bringing my gear to jam! www.burningmanchicago.org/burn-burn-20...

Naturally camouflaged, the katydid, or bush cricket, is often hard to see within greener habitats. My porch, however, is a haven for the birds. Better to hide on the inside of a gate than risk getting called out, so far from any colluding leaves.

A green katydid rests on a black steel gate, head oriented down.

I think there are a few interesting layers to this comparison of geography
