A few weeks ago I found a complete rat butt on the ground (intact with tail, but no body) twice in two days, miles from each other. This inspired me to do a little research, where I learned that rodents often have the ability to shed entire layers of flesh to avoid capture.

An unfinished work from ten years ago. I really should speed up my act.

Today, the equinox occurs in about 90 minutes. And, last night, I realized that so many luminary individuals in my life are dead now, there's not so much to worry about when I base characters off of them. Happy Spring! The old renews! The dead sprout new growth!

I love the squat tulips popping up in my backyard. I think their leaves look a little bit like a headscarf wrapped around them 🌷

A sped up 30sec time-lapse of my nightingale piece. That bird wing and rose took me too long to figure out 💀 but I'm happy that I didn't give up

I'm sorry that I didn't post about it, but on Sat, We Keep Us Safe put on an amazing fundraiser, Let Yourself Shine!, to benefit the LGBTQ+ Center, Brave Space Alliance. I'm proud of us for this event. I had a blast attending. The shows were great! The Center is still accepting support, of course.

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

This was such a fun thing to take part in, and I loved getting to hear the beginnings of these stories in the authors own voices. Also @pensiv.art's cat had a great cameo <3

The artists peaking at 30 thing is of course very stupid but it gives me an excuse to mention since I didn't start working as a professional artist until I was 32 and I didn't draw these until I was 35/37/39/43.

Last night's reading for Animal Noir was essentially a virtual launch event. It was so fun. The snippets of stories everyone read were unique and tantalizing. I haven't read the book yet myself, but it's up next on my TBR. But I encourage you to take a look and listen to the recording below.
