I've been working on a network of webrings to connect people's hobby sites! I have multiple lines that I visualize as subway lines, so I call it the Smallweb Subway!

Every station is someone's website. You can explore it here:

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm Caroline, a painter (& sometimes digital) artist inspired by sci-fi and fantasy texts. I'm available for commissions this year and I just started my print shop!

Fan-made book cover of "The Last Man" by Mary Shelley done in watercolor, featuring a lone figure flying in a steampunk winged hot air balloon, over a forest, Hagio Sophia in Constantinople, and the roman ruins, with astronomical formulas and diagrams written in the stars. Fan-made book cover of Ted Chiang's "Exhalation" done in watercolor. A humanoid figure manipulates two levers, his head and chest cavity open to reveal tubes of air. He is looking up at several rings that appear as portals to other worlds, filled with imagery from Chiang's novel: the skyline of Old Baghdad, fossils beneath a wave, steampunk cogs, parrots flying, a Victorian-style robot, a lion cub, two prism-shaped computers, Data Earth, and floating video player and photo gallery interfaces. Watercolor painting of an alien spaceship descending upon a scrap metal site, with scrappers wheeling their haul away from a giant metal structure shaped almost like an animal ribcage. Digital illustration of a woman using virtual reality. On her left are cascades of polluted water, forest fires, air pollution, and rising graphs; on her right is the fantasy world in her headset, with rockets taking off into a starry sky. In the bottom right corner is the word "ESCAPE."

The Bloodbathogen!
This terrifying triple threat has been stapled together to be three times as scary! It doesn't matter what bites you, you'll be sure to turn into something awful or maybe even a combination of these bonded brothers of bedlam! Be it bark, blood or brains!

It's finally time for Skinktober!

What's that? No, I'm pretty sure it was never called anything else.
#art 🦢
a digital painting of a juvenile five-lined skink sitting on a decorative pumpkin. it is surrounded by vine and leaves. the lizard is striped lengthwise down its body in white and black, transitioning to a bright blue tail about halfway down. the colors have been very saturated, and the shapes are abstracted to be rigid angles.

Those That Inherit the Earth Vol. 1 is live on Kickstarter!

If an episodic tale of an opossum and an astronaut living in a sword and sci-fi world sounds like your thing, this book is for you

You can leave the experiments to the lab rats. For real results you need a mouse out in the field.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

p.s. this week I am on a USA/Canada tour with my new book. Details and preorder links at tomgauld.com
Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant. “Reactor Overheating” 2. A worker in a hazmat suit works at a computer. The screen reads: “Press cancel to avoid critical overload” 3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: “Enter password to confirm” “Incorrect password” “Incorrect password” “Do you want to reset your password?” “Reset link has been sent to your email” “Please choose a new password” “New password can't be the same as old password” The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9. Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.
