“Just a cat”. Rude! Photo from my collection, no date/info.
Black and white photo of a lovely shorthaired grey cat standing on a line of smooth rocks that look like they may have been placed there to border a driveway or something. The cat is looking at the camera with its tail up, obviously friendly. Cursive handwriting in the upper left corner reads “Just a cat”.

Ballpoint pen and colored pencil. 

At the top of the piece we see the delicately drawn branches and leaves of an apple tree. Just beneath the tree limbs, a bat is flying with one of the green apples in its mouth. This is when the morphing begins, reader. A sequence of 13 drawings show the bat morphing into a teeny witch (with completion of the morph around drawing #9). The morphing creates a spiral leading us to the center of the page where the little witch is running towards her basket filled with apples. It’s likely she’ll re-morph into a bat again and the morphing pattern will continue.

Mickey heads out of Goofy's house as Goofy places a "Nobody Home" sign on his doorknob.

Mickey: That's what I like about you, Goofy! You're ready to go anywhere on a moment's notice, with no questions asked or fooling around!

Goofy: Shore!

He lassos tornados. He brought a storm from California to solve a drought in Texas, only to create the Gulf of Mexico. He dug the Rio Grande to give his horse water. He is Pecos Bill, a giant of Southwestern storytelling and of proportion, too. #FairytaleTuesday
An unknown artist's painting of Pecos Bill lassoing a tornado as it flies away with cowboys and cows, a Texan windmill in the background.

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere. My shortlisted entry for the Cheltenham Illustration awards. Inspired by the changing landscape, childhood (and adulthood) fantasy, reflections, exploration of strange places... #art #illustration
Illustration of a clearing in a dark forest with pools of water on the ground among the trees and vegetation. In the water is a reflection of a cityscape with skyscrapers in vibrant orange and yellow with a bright blue sky, contrasting with the murky blue-green colours of the woods. In the far distance an early sunrise can be made out through the trees.

the sweet spot for a hit tweet is 200 likes, you get the lil dopamine rush from the attention but then it fades before things get annoying, stressful, and/or threatening. anything actually viral that gets like five figure retweets puts the eye of sauron on you and no amount of dopamine is worth that
