I've come to the conclusion that anyone that says the Moon landing was fake is just voicing a desire to be taken up there...and have their helmet removed for 15 seconds. Just so they can feel how real it was.

1. Its been a very busy but actually fun weekend. However it was so busy that I had to push through today to accomplish things. For a moment, I paused and took some deep breaths in order to re-center myself. #art #wip #blueprint #oc #nature #scififantasy #origins #sketch #independentartist

1. We had a storm sweep through today and I believe there's more tomorrow; so I thought to place one of my characters that is a powerful force of nature even though she is less than 1 inch tall.

On Tuesday I went down to an art scanning place in #SF in order to start phase 2 (phase 1 is blueprints) of my book character pieces.
Since I arrived 2 hours early, I took the time to wander. All photos have my Copper540 filter. #wander #photography #explore #morningwalk

1. Since tomorrow is going to be a day of traveling. I wanted to place a character that also travels, across dimensions and worlds.

An issue I have with photography is that if the photo looks too perfect I assume its AI. It somehow doesnt matter how much work a person put into it in a photo editing program, if it looks fake I'm not hitting the like button/heart icon.

Since theres rain in the forecast here at home I thought this week I'd show a Blueprint of a character the controls the weather, or at least an aspect of it.
I spent the weekend working on a different set of pieces which I'll feature next week.

Where are they?
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

1 - The last two weeks have been productive. If I wasn't out at an event or family gathering with my Husband, I was in front of my design desk, setting down character designs.

I made a few friends today. They were all ready to pose the house down. I like this one the most.

Remembering my visit to New Orleans. I took a tour of a well-known plantation. There was a lot to absorb between the accounts from individuals that went through slavery, as well as just the amount of names memoralized there. The feeling of oppression was clear.

1. So yesterday I spent the early part of the day mixing some of my songs and thought that I'd use the evening to work on a cover for one of them.

1/2 - 1k followers?! That's wild to think about. Thanks to all that follow. I know that a lot of you might follow for my political opinions expressed here. However, the whole point of me creating this profile was to showcase my various artistic interests. So I will be getting back on track

Just watched the last Mission Impossible. A satisfying closure to the series. Took the time to watch the other 7 for the passed 2 weeks to refresh the memory and it helped with the details.

#Pride SF has come and gone. This is my favorite photo I took from #Polyglamorous . I saw these two gentlemen attempting to tessaract each other into the 4th dimension in such a beautiful way that I had to photograph them. I put my Everything Rose filter on it. I think it turned out well. #makingout

After going to see the new Final Destination movie. We walked to an event happening in downtown Petaluma. An American Graffiti car show. Some would've been part of the cruising culture of the 50s.
Since I love older cars and some of these were out of this world, I used my Jupiter filter on them.
