edie v @ summer grass, winter worm @dollarchive.bsky.social · Jul 8
good afternoon #portfolioday! I'm currently working on a comic called Summer Grass, Winter Worm which is a drama/slice of life about entomology and Tibetan Buddhism. you can read the beginning here: grassworm.net
4 panel comic drawn with digital pencil. 1 - Thulia offers white silk scarf toward three people seated at a table full of food. THULIA: This is for the Venerable SONGTSEN: Lhamo Yeshe Rinpoche. 2 - The scarf is held at one end by Thulia's round hand and on the other end by Lhamo's pointy, long-nailed hand. 3 - Lhamo holds the scarf close to/in front of her mouth. Her eyes are closed. Narration: I couldn't hear the words she whispered -- just a quiet -- rhythm -- 4 - A bony hand with long pointed thumb nail (foreground right) offers the scarf back to Thulia (background left) who wears a dopey smile. LHAMO: Welcome, and may all your efforts bear fruit. THULIA: [tiny] thank you! Narration: --of susurrations 2 panel comic drawn in digital pencil. 1 - Nyima stands in a shadowed passageway, gesturing beyond the open doorframe toward a 3-tiered, octagonal pagoda. NYIMA: In the center is our prayer hall 2 - The pagoda is shown in more detail and from an upper angle. Nyima smiles, tiny, in the foreground. NYIMA: The upper level belongs to my mother, but the ground floor is for everyone! 3 panel comic in digital pencil and watercolor. 1 - Thulia reaches under their shirt collar. They have tired eyes and a kitty smile. Around them, text with musical notes says "worm eggs, worm eggs" 2 - Close up of Thulia pulling a cloth with small dark and light circles from their shirt collar. THULIA: Ta-da! 3 - The cloth is shown in more detail--it is semi transparent, folded multiple times, and contains many of these tiny circles, some dark, some light. These are silkworm eggs at various stages of incubation. Nyima looks on in profile (close up) from the right. NYIMA: They're sort of... blue? THULIA: That's the worms! 4 panel comic in digital pencil. 1 - Nyima sits in the grass, framed from the back and right, so that she sits at the left of the panel, face in profile. She is looking out onto the sky with no visible expression. NYIMA: Mother says I should stop helping with the yartsa after this year. 2 - Two figures sit in the grass, the left figure (Thulia) hidden by a speech bubble. On the right, Nyima has her knees up, her arms folded across them, and her face hidden. NYIMA: and focus on the silk and the silkworms 3 - Two figures sit in the grass, the right figure (Nyima) hidden by a speech bubble. Thulia sits on the right, knees bent and off to one side, focusing their attention on Nyima with sympathy. THULIA: Is that what you want? 4 - Two handkerchiefs filled with squiggly worms. They are labeled "THULIA DAY 3" and "NYIMA DAY 3". Nyima has gathered significantly more than Thulia.

1st of three in the pattern collection I created for Author Idris Grey
- themed around gourmand botanics for the rollout of her novel “Eat You Up”

@idrisgrey.bsky.social
Swatch card for the repeat pattern I created for author Idris Grey. Pattern is a dark warm navy blue with botanics on top organized in spot groups that interlace diagonally with each other. Botanics are of long stem stylized tulips, large symmetrical wild daisies and various green branches and leaves. Interlaced with the botanics are various fruits including cherries, a pear split in half, citrus wedges whole and cut strawberries. The fruit and botanics are in flat colour shades light muted robins egg and warm very light pale purple. Speckled throughout are some large dots in the same pale purple. Swatch card contains a large scale of the pattern framed with the title and the babe and oak logo on top of a square of the pattern in a smaller scale.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 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. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

bleeding heart 🥀

#art #oc
Photo of an ink and colored pencil drawing on paper depicting a figure looking to the side in profile, sitting with folded legs, holding prayer beads in one hand while the other gestures at a bleeding heart (flower) pendant over their chest. They wear a Tibetan-style asymmetrical robe with a complex woven edge pattern and long beaded red coral earrings. Their long silver hair is braided into many smaller braids closer to the scalp, then gathered into one larger braid behind their back.

and a third which i have yet to finish (bit off more than i could chew with the detail)
A digital pen drawing of a girl with her hair in many smaller braids which form a decorative conical shape similar to horns. Two large pieces of jewelry frame her face, with beads draping down around her shoulders. She wears a cloak with an asymmetrical dress underneath, and tiger shoes. Her legs and one hand are left unfinished. Her big dark eyes show a determined expression.

"My darling is a cherry tree,
blooms in our garden endlessly,
bereft of fruit though she may be."

#art #illustration
Digital illustration centering cursive text that says, "My darling is a cherry tree, / blooms in our garden endlessly, / bereft of fruit though she may be." The illustration features a cherry bonsai tree in the shape of a glass cloche with a blue bird (mouth open, crying out) on the largest branch, beneath the poem. At the base of the tree is a fairy ring of white mushrooms. An angular hand with long, pointed nails intrudes with a garden clipper from the right side of the image; the tree seems perfectly shaped to avoid the hand and its shears. The image has a white background and is inked with black, while the colors are done in four layers (pink, orange, green, and blue) that overlap to create new shades, as if physically printed.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world." Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

Apparently garlic is generally kept out of Tibetan/Nepali monasteries. On the other hand the Tibetan restaurant near my house uses garlic as an ingredient and the Nepali documentary guy I follow on youtube is always picking wild garlic. So I'm leaving it in (grassworm.net)

If your "women and nonbinary people" group doesn't include any trans women or AMAB enbies, you just told all the nonbinary people you did include how you actually see them.

(And all the trans women you didn't include, too, but you obviously don't give a fuck about them to begin with.)
