We're snailposting, post your snails!

From a zine I made earlier this year :) 🐌 🖌️
Spread from a zine made of green cardstock. A large drawn snail takes up most of the image, with a small stamped bug-like creature and two smaller stamped snails next to it. Washi tape is used for the grass and the snail's shell

Digital illustration: a blue Indian ring neck on an orange gradient background. Digital illustration featuring two Egyptian geese that are sitting and cuddling side by side on the arched trunk of a dead tree lying in a river. One branch of the tree grew sideways, forming an arch over the geese, a thick plant growing around it with a few bloomed pink bell flowers that seem to be glowing slightly. In the background, the riverbank is filled with dense trees, plants and mossy rocks that disappear in the shadow. Reed grass is growing on the edge of the water along a weeping willow. A soft, warm light is coming from the side, illuminating the scene in a comforting way. A cute handmade felt pigeon plushie photographed on a black and wooden background.

This is exactly what it's like here and I feel so frustrated and lost whenever I talk to people who don't live here and have no idea

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

I try to do one big papercraft piece per year and the one I did this year is by far my best one yet, but I'm not allowed to share it until 2026 :(

I wish I had time to make another for fun but that is also unlikely to be before 2026

#Nudivember Day 7: the starry night nudibranch!

I had to use my Van Gogh paper for the background of the collage
Two blue nudibranches scattered with yellow stars, and purple gills and rhinophores. The background is a grayscale image of Vincent Van Gogh's distinctive curling brush strokes.
