I have a young friend who is almost 6, obsessed with sharks (and megalodon lol), and her grandfather keeps finding bad AI slip for her. Any suggestions for better places to look @whysharksmatter.bsky.social? Id have DMed but maybe some of my other followers will have good ideas too!

This one is up for grabs.
Size: 6.5x11" Acryla gouache on paper

Giant Leopard #Moths, Hypercompe scribonia, were frequent visitors to the bug light this year. What looks like black markings from a distance, is revealed to be a rich iridescent blue upon closer look. Some have spots, and some have rings.

Going to a (slightly belated) Boxing Day party this evening, so needed an appropriate* manicure for the occasion.

*Note for people from non-commonwealth countries: this is not actually what Boxing Day is all about.

How can you say Avatar has no cultural impact? I've been hearing that Na'vi Dad song nonstop for weeks
I think it's interesting that the Avatar films don't seem to have much of a life or cultural impact outside the theater but I also think it's extremely weird that such an observation is commonly met with the angriest sorts of responses

I haven't been taking many pictures the last couple of weeks, (and today it's pouring rain), but here's a photo I took on Christmas Eve three years ago, of a single green lacewing egg in my garden. Think of it as a wrapped present with a bug in it.

Okay it’s officially Christmas. The Chelsea buns are done.

#ArtAdventCalendar is technically done, but I’ll leave with one last manicure - the one I’m wearing right now. Happy Santaween, y’all!

Merry #Crustmas to all who celebrate! Hoping you are firmly attached to people you love, are able to scoop up large amounts of food, and can hide in an impervious shell when the social situation requires it ❤️

Day 16 - one very happy snake plant who started with some leftover watercolour ink and then just grew from there.

I really want to make prints of this in 2026

Icons for items in the cooking system of a cozy, story-driven game in development. I liked these and was pretty proud of them. :)

I managed to miss day 24 of #ArtAdventCalendar because I was busy spending my entire day in the kitchen 😂
Glad my mom passed on her baking skills and quite a few recipes. She also taught me to sew a bit, but I never got much into that one. For day 24, here’s a quilt she made me, in manicure form.

Time for a #painting. "Stone Walls, No Sheep III" was the 3rd in a series of 4 paintings that came out of loving landscapes especially those with stone walls and those with sheep but accepting that sometimes the sheep just aren't there. #art #Speirghorm #ArtAdventCalendar

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite drawings I did this year. It's ink on watercolor paper, and is inspired by kelp.
