These Montana sunset sumi ink paintings (& the photos that inspired them) are in the store now! The initial light gold layer makes them seem like a light is behind them.

A woodcarver named Becky W (vortenjou.bsky.social, rosehip.wordpress.com) made a sculpture of my nuthatch comic, showing a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on real nuts and hatching one of them. I'm so happy
A wooden carved and painted sculpture of a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on some nuts with a nutmeat with wings flying away into the sky.A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.

Another mosaic painting. I wanted to try an overlapping circular pattern this time. It turned out ok but I'd offset the circles more if I do again. I also decided to fill the entire tile instead of leaving an empty channel between colors.

Start to finished piece. Another mosaic one, this time in yellows. Thinking of calling it "Walked in Fields of Gold". Really like how it turned out and it made me dig out my positively ancient compass drawing set that belonged to my older brother before I got it. #watercolorpainting #abstractart

Ever feel like you're the only person in the world who doesn't like something? For me, one of those things are sprinkles. Esp those little colorful bits of chalk that Dunkin insists on ruining their strawberry frosted donuts with. Or on cakes. Or cookies. I just can't understand liking sprinkles.

This Endangered Species Day I’m sharing a bee. 🐝🧪🐡 This #linocut print rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) is a pollinator native to North America and was common here in Ontario as recently as the 1980s. It is now sadly on the brink of extinction, designated federal Species at Risk in Canada.🧵
My linocut print rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) is handprinted on Japanese white and yellow papers, 8" x 8" or (20.3 cm x 20.3). It is black with copper feet and veins on its wings with a fuzzy yellow back with distinct bronze “rusty patch”.

Ew. Just...ew. Underwear / knickers are the easiest things to pack extras of. Roll tightly, use to fill space in the bag. 1 pair/day + 1-2 extra just in case. It's bras that you can wear more than once, unless you're going to be sweating a lot, then have multiple which still take up little space!

Satire or not, racing against Alaska's loose interpretation of sportsmanship isn't for the faint of heart. (Also, this quote made me laugh :D )
Screenshot of a quote from the linked article saying "People think the Iditarod is a race against other mushers," said a spokesperson. "But it's really more of a race against Alaska, and Alaska has an extremely flexible interpretation of sportsmanship."

A meme with the heading “Sorry, I’m booked all weekend.” Below are three vertical panels labeled Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each panel contains two circular icons.

Friday: a kitchen knife icon above a person wearing a hockey mask resembling a slasher-movie villain.
Saturday: a kitchen knife icon above a steaming pie.
Sunday: a kitchen knife icon above a stylized bust of a Roman figure wearing a laurel wreath.

The joke suggests the person’s “plans” involve stabbing or cutting things associated with each day.
