Obligatory post-municipal-and-provincial-voting double feature from today 🫡

Wanda smiles at the camera from a 3/4 perspective wearing a woolen shawl and a felted cap, the latter decorated with “I voted” stickers from both the municipal and provincial polls.

Also good grief why do I keep choosing scenes with unusual colour palettes, lol. I keep having to figure out how to mix wonky colours with my posca markers 🥲

The camera looks down from the vantage of the artist at their hands, fingers marred with ink from an ill-fated pen refill operation.

Driving myself a lil bit crazy with what should have been a simple one-point perspective. I had a picture in my mind, shifting from the isometric view of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap to more of a head-on vantage, but when trying to solidify the lines it’s all so complicated hnnnnnghhhh 😭 #art

I also put the finishing touches on another #poscamarker piece, some #fanart of Tuya from The Prince of Egypt inspired by my re-watch of the movie with @calcytron.bsky.social on our great Gibsons adventure ❤️ #posca #poscabrush #acrylicmarker #acrylicpaint

A Posca marker painting of a still from the animated film The Prince of Egypt, fan art of the Queen of Egypt, Tuya, holding baby Moses. She cradles him in her arms, and the infant's hand reaches up towards her face. She is wearing a sheer garment that allows the warm ambient light to shine through the delicate folds of fabric.

I was inspired by my #Poscabrush markers to try to create scale patterns; although I only roughly referred to #snake references, I'm quite chuffed with the result (granted, #Poscamarkers are better suited to cell-shading!) #posca #acrylicpaint

A Posca marker painting of a loosely-coiled snake floating in a void. Their forked tongue tastes the air in front of them as their unsettling gaze regards the viewer.

On holiday with my dear friend @calcytron.bsky.social on the #SunshineCoast; capitalized on this #rain to have a #moviemarathon and to create #art inspired by our journeys and by the wonderful #movies we’ve enjoyed! #balto #princeofegypt #lordoftherings #posca #poscamarker #acrylicmarker

Pictures inspired by the movies we’ve watched today: Balto (The Bear, top left), The Prince of Egypt (Moses’ dogs, bottom right), the extended cut of the fellowship of the Ring (a horse inspired by those of the black riders, although totally different energy; top right). Also, Calcytron’s dog Mizu takin’ a deuce in the bottom left.

Alas, “the duality of person” just doesn’t have the same ring to it 😭

Wanda, a 37 year old nonbinary person wearing a Ralph Lauren poncho sweater gifted to them by a friend of their girlfriend, stares wistfully into the middle distance, their lips slightly parted and gaze soft. Their hands are braced on their hips, and their weight is mostly on their left leg.

Wanda, a 37 year old nonbinary person wearing a Ralph Lauren poncho sweater gifted to them by a friend of their girlfriend, strikes a ridiculous pose: their arms are thrust skyward, brandishing peace signs, and their shoulders are bunched up to their ears.

The knight, a small bug with a pale visage punctuated by black eyes, slumps on the iron bench to the right of the Elderbug in Dirtmouth. They have 22 lifeblood “masks”, and will therefore die after 11 hits by the final boss of the Grimm Troupe, Nightmare King Grimm.

“Why am I like this” seems to be my catchphrase when it comes to crafting massive pull requests because I just can’t help but to fix things “while I’m in the neighbourhood” loooool LOOK, I KEEP MY COMMITS ATOMIC AND PRs FOCUSED MOST OF THE TIME. OK MAYBE LIKE 42% OF THE TIME. FUCK.

The text from part of a pull request I’m working on:

p.9: 83 trees are to be removed (where’s the explicit justification for each removal?), and they will “share an update on our plans for local trees with the community in the coming months.” Many of those trees would take decades to regrow to the same prominence. www.bchydro.com/content/dam/...

Gonna be reading into this more tomorrow, but I’m pretty supremely cheezed off at the BC Hydro West End Substation project. Nelson Park is a beautiful third space. @seanorr.bsky.social @lucymaloney.bsky.social Do you have recommendations for where to otherwise lodge opposition to the current plans?

A sign hanging in Nelson Park:

BC Hydro plans to build a substation beneath Nelson park - removing 80+ trees, destroying a public school + playground, and disrupting access to the West End’s only park:

SAVE NELSON PARK!

For our kids, our neighborhood, and our community

Scan the code by Aug 4
Tell BCUC: Nelson park is not suitable for a substation.

Did you know?

- the VSB (Vancouver School board) no longer has funds to rebuild the school
- there is no clear plan to replace the treees
- the construction with take up more space than originally proposed to the community

A sign affixed to a tree next to Nelson Park:

SAVE THIS TREE!

BC Hydro plans to remove 83 trees from Nelson Park. This tree is one of them.

Follow Friends of Nelson Park to learn more and help us save these trees.

Centred in the picture is the Hashigo Set, which includes four separate skewers of Momo, Pork, Me Maki, and Duck Breast yakitori with a quarter of a lemon slice and some delicious mystery sauce. To the left of the plate containing the skewers is a glass containing a beverage called an Umeboshi Sour, which includes Pickled plum, Shochu, and Soda

9) Looping to 1), I loved participating in the interactive component of “The Green Ideal” at the #VancouverArtGallery, creating a pencil-coloured post-it note homage to Carr’s #formalist #cubist #fauvist #expressionist style (not sure if these are the correct terms; art historians please enlighten!)

A pencil-crayon drawing on a post-it note, attempting to emulate elements of Emily Carr’s formalist/fauvist/cubist/expressionist style: two trees on the left in the background, the brighter and smaller one occluding the darker, shaggier tree. Sunlight streams in the middle ground, and the trunk of a tree with a knot like a vertical eye peers at the viewer, seeming to point at the two trees with an outstretched branch.

Interactive component of “That Green Ideal” at the Vancouver Art Gallery - a white wall has the following prompt printed:

(Largest text) Listening Land

(Small text) Emily Carr cared deeply about the protection of forests and the natural world.

(Larger text) On a sticky note, write a question or phrase you might address to the forest and share it on the tree.

Nestled near the peak of the tree outline next to this prompt is a pencil-crayon drawing on a post-it note, Wanda’s contribution to the interactive component of “That Green Ideal” at the Vancouver Art Gallery where they attempt to emulate elements of Emily Carr’s formalist/fauvist/cubist/expressionist style: two trees on the left in the background, the brighter and smaller one occluding the darker, shaggier tree.
