Another classic, not sure if I've already posted this one here.

The image is a six panel black and white comic.

Panel 1 - a girl sits at her desk in front of a computer, looking disheartened. She says, "I dont know if I should post this art, who would even want to see it?"

Panel 2- A new person bursts through the door in the background with a loud BAM

Panel 3- The new person pushes the girl out of the way, smushing her face in the process, while slamming their fist down on the keyboard.

Panel 4- The computer shows that the art has been posted

Panel 5- The person makes direct eye contact with the girl while pushing their finger against their own phone screen

Panel 6- A motion blur is added to the last panel, enhancing the impact of the new notifications on the new post. It reads, "(Friend) Liked Post just now" Followed by "(Friend) commented 'I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND I LOVE U'"

Underneath the last panel is a watermark that reads, Shubbabang

It slipped our gooey minds that we received these from thefuzzyslug.com! They are even better in person - the sticker is a hefty vinyl and the pin is enameled with excellent detail! Thank you @thefuzzyslug.bsky.social

"Octopal" - 6"x24" - acrylic and paint marker on gallery depth birch panel. Done up originally for the art party in June 2026 at All City Barbershop. Just an artistic freedom octopus in the colours I was feeling. Still available if anyone is interested. #art #SciArt #invertart

A teal and purple octopus with green underglow and a pink background, painted on a wood panel, shown on some dino bine arcade carpet.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

visiting some crows back at the beginning of August. bestest crow view.

Large sculpture of a crow (one of many) titled “On a Mission” by Nelson Lowry part of the LAIKA Wildwood movie promotion. Crow body is painted sky blue filled with flying crows and fading to sunset orange and purple towards the feet and tail. It is placed at the Pittock Mansion overlook of Portland Oregon with Mt. Hood in the distance framed by a tree. Several people are sitting enjoying the view. My dog, a black and white brindle cardigan corgi, is laying in front of the crow, tongue out. He is content because he just pooped on the mansion lawn. 🤦‍♀️

(yes, I removed the code, go visit it yourself, it’s a lovely spot!)

deeply annoyed by how lush this random roadside staghorn is, i don't even think anyone waters this

a tree which trunk is fully covered by a huge lump of staghorn fern. the fern's leaves come in two forms, the shields go up like a green crown, the staghorns droop down, giving the overall appearance very full and lush

The brief pause every time I see a headline with something about "Man City" and have to be like "........ Right" Like right yes that's a nickname of course and not some kind of... 1930s pulp fantasy story about a... lost civilization of men (only) in the jungles of darkest Somethingonia

Folks have been asking for it, and I'm happy to oblige. I've printed the panoramic prints on smaller paper!!! The smaller size is 8.5 x 25" compared to the 13 x 38" they've only been available in until now. I'll have them at shows now going forward and in my store: www.emmalerae.com/store.html

A photo of two panoramic prints.

In the top one a group of 4 adult Allosaurus work together to take down a full grown Diplodocus. Dust is being kicked up into the air from the hunt and two juveniles lag behind distracted by some dragonflies.

In the bottom one an adult Spinosaurus sleeps on a fallen log as dawn breaks in Cretaceous Africa. Sitting on the head of the adult is a baby Spinosaurus watching a tapejarid decide to land on the log right in front of them.
