Procreate painting of Círdan the Shipwright, inspired by the character in Rings of Power. He faces us, bearded, blue-eyed and silver-haired, with a sunset and the sea in the background, and stars just beginning to show in the night sky above. The piece is done in a chalky, cel-shaded style.

Something that it’s important to note about disability; Even if you are not currently disabled, if you live for long enough, you will become so. It is inevitable. Fighting for the rights of disabled people is not only the right thing to do, it also benefits your future self

dang, it's not even 8:30pm and the aurora is DARK RED, even with the full lights of downtown!

I've never seen it like this here before #yeg
kind of fuzzy phone camera photo of the night sky over a lowrise apartment building. In the sky is a fuzzy-edged, deep magenta stripe of an aurora, with a little cyan/jade green to either side.

It's my birthday today, I'd really love it if I could get some more eyes on my artwork 🌟
Digital Illustration of Lunar Princess Ranni from Elden Ring, holding a moon-like orb in her 4 hands, sat upon a wooden seat in her cluttered room. The outside view of the window shows the sky in sunset colours. There are many trinkets around her room, behind her you can find the Moonlight Greatsword and at her feet is a plushy of Blaidd. Digital Illustration of a yuan-ti bard with east asian features, playing a guzheng, surrounded by graphic snakes. She is on the ground on the street in front of some buildings in a night time street, there are lanterns above her head. scanned painting of a small kitty on a pony riding through a war-torn town. There are 4 ghosts around the image. The castle town is bathed in a sunset light digital artwork featuring a fancy drawn border. Inside the border are two figures on a horse. The man is holding a flagpole with a flag, holding the woman who is looking up at him with wonder. The man has white hair, horns and wears dark armour. The horse is a Friesian, with an overcoat with the same banners as the flag. "Eat the Rich" is written on a banner running across the bottom.

My little girl cat is extremely sick with something (fever, sneezy nose, lethargy) and we're headed to the vet right now. She's only lived with me less than a year but she means everything to me and I am so stressed right now. Prayers and good thoughts appreciated

It is rational to fear what covid does to the body.

And this ableist machismo, separating "fear" and rational thinking, isn't helpful here. They aren't dichotomous.

It is rational to mask in order to avoid covid, long covid, spreading covid, and causing others to have long covid.

(and i think it is a demand that stems from fear more than a rational assessment of the threat environment)

Book cover for the YA book ICEBREAKER by A.L. Graziadei showing the two male main protagonist facing each other and holding onto each others collar. Digital art of my original characters Aran and Tao as young adults out at night in their local nyc neighborhood kissing. Tao sits on a bicycle and Aran bends down slightly to kiss him. Mock cover of Suzanne Samin and my upcoming graphic novel. The title still r wads Fear Of Falling but we changed it now to Wherever I’m With You. The cover shows a brick house fall and Aran and Tao sitting on the rooftop, their legs dangling down the edge, and in big letters underneath them it reads “fear of falling” Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young teenagers on a hot summer day walking down the streets in their local nyc neighborhood and playing around with a basketball.

#tolkientober #tolkienTrewsday Day 14: Colours


After the defeat of Sauron and the destruction of Dol Guldur, the wood elves celebrate as colours begin to return to the once dark forest of Mirkwood, now renamed Eryn Lasgalen (Wood of Green Leaves)

7”x7”, gouache on 100% cotton coldpress
A small gouache painting in teals, greens, and yellows. A tangle of moss-covered tree branches in the foreground are darker, and in the background lighter. Bright new leaves sprout from all the foreground trees, and small round lanterns that glow with a soft yellow light are hung from various branches

Fire department was doing testing in our building. Immediately after hearing “testing, testing” through the speaker I looked over and saw Stitch standing on the end table and making this face. He did not move AT ALL for at least a minute
Photo of a white cat, standing up with his front paws on a living room end table. He’s looking into the distance, and his mouth is shaped in a tiny little frown. How could an interesting stranger be somewhere in the house and not pay attention to gentle Stitch?

Got our covid vaccines today!

And despite all that's going on with Alberta politics rn, the nurse at AHS made sure to ask enough questions so both my husband and I qualified for the high risk category (which meant we didn't need to pay)

She genuinely wanted as many people vaxxed as possible
