Liberty is in a dark place but there are still rays of light

A black and white photo of the Statue of Liberty taken from the side and far back so there's a lot of sky around it. The statue is mostly dark and part of the sky is black but there are two rays of sunlight shining on it from the left and a rounded area that's lighter.

How about a pair of angry hares for today's #Januarty theme of #matching? I enjoy doing symmetrical doodles as a relaxation exercise and yet another excuse to explore patterns 😂
Drawing in white ink against a dark purple background of 2 rabbits confronting each other head to head and feet to feet. The drawing is stylized to emphasize pattern rather than being a realistic portrayal.

The nerd equivalent of getting LOVE & HATE tattooed on your knuckles is getting #Matching feedback circuits tattooed on your wrists (positive and negative so they're not totally matching I guess) It's #Januarty! Check out @whitneyyoh.bsky.social for details!

There was a question as to whether or not I’d have the time to host #JanuArty this year, I felt for sure there would be zero to no time for me to participate. The universe, however, seems to have different plans and that makes me glad for all of us. Here’s a #fresh sketchbook with a fresh doodle
Alt text: A small blue notebook or planner standing upright on a white surface, decorated with an intricate, symmetrical, mandala-like pattern and the large numbers “2026” centered on the cover. In the foreground, several uncapped paint or art markers in shades of blue, teal, white, black, and red lie scattered horizontally, slightly out of focus.

Brand new, fresh sketch of another beautiful bird I'd never heard of (seriously, go look up photos of this one because wow!)

Trying to find a looser style for some of the art challenges this year because I can't spend 100 hours on everything😅

#BirbFest Bronzewing Pigeon and #Januarty theme #fresh
Digital painting of a a bronzewing pigeon in profile facing to the left against a black background. It is a grayish bird with subtle variations of cream, blue and pink on its body and its wings flash all the colors of the rainbow in the light creating a very colorful and awe-inspiring effect.

While trying to take a picture in my yard, I accidentally tore a rift between worlds with my finger. I’m hoping this new world beyond means a #fresh start for humanity!

2025 was the official launch of #EastCoastKin (ECK)!

I was asked to develop a logo; I thought you might like to see some of the explorations before the final design.

Thank you all who have helped grow ECK!

@eastcoastkin-ac.bsky.social @jaycee-visionlogic.bsky.social @ericg.photography
Many different design explorations for the East Coast Kin (ECK) logo. A collaboration between myself, Jaycee and Eric Girouard knew we wanted it to be round and use the acronym ECK. At first there were many colors, or only monochromatic. Jaycee suggested using Mondrian as an inspiration, so we used colors from his palette. There were other designs, but they ended up on the cutting room floor. Finally we reached the decision to use the logo marked FINAL.
