Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy:
A picture of a fat tabby cat, full body shown sitting to the lower right, and their front half shown lying down in a second shot to the upper left, on a blue background. It's captioned: "Life is soup but I am fork".

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I didn't think I'd find one but I didn't realize it was this old.
Cover of Nighttime Birds by The Gathering. It's mostly white with what I think is a bare tree in the snow, seen from overhead.

New sigil art today! The left one is for greater intuition in my art, and the right is to channel passion into my creative practices.

The right one is door-like; the central oval structure can be energetically closed when I want. Such as avoiding a surge of motivation at 3am when I should sleep. :D
Two mixed media paintings on a board with paint marks on it. The left painting has a vivid purple, pink, orange, and yellow watercolor background and a sun design drawn in yellow acrylic marker. The right painting has slightly more muted watercolor and less purple, with an abstract design drawn in purple acrylic marker that is partially painted in with magenta, red, orange, and yellow acrylics.

Rune Guys and Color Guys are underway! I labeled the jars so I can keep track of who's who until I make their bodies.

Bodies will start soon, maybe this weekend.

I could still use help finding some of the materia - check the link in the quoted post if you're willing to help.

Steel has started biting Daddy when he wants food, again, and he's taught Paw to do the same thing. Paw bites harder, in this case, even though he's gentler with Mama.

It's time for some shadow work and I'm starting to feel like the sink cat.
A meme of a cat watching (labeled "my spirit guides") as another cat flails under a running sink tap (labeled "me, not doing my shadow work").

Color test on the nebula painting style went well!

But I'm almost out of purple and blue, so while I wait for more ink to arrive, I'll practice blowing the paint around with spare colors so I can get the edges (not pictured for a reason) looking better.

And I'm done with my painting for A Softer World Volume 3! This was fun *and* a learning experience.
A painting on a black gesso background with ripples of purple and gold acrylic ink surrounded by rows of tiny dots in the same colors. There is a gold crescent moon in the upper right corner, also surrounded by rows of purple and gold dots.

This weekend's painting so far. I think the purple/gold is almost done; it'll probably get a gold moon painted in the upper right.

The predominantly green one I scrapped after making a border line (after the photo) that didn't look right. I think the white dots are too stark, too...
Purple and gold acrylic ink splashes on black, with dots of purple and gold acrylic ink around the resulting shapes. Fluorescent blue, green, and yellow acrylic ink splashes on black with stark white dots of alcohol ink mixative that look like stars.

Oh hey, @nora.zone 's Endless Screaming bot now has their own super group in City of Heroes!

(Hmm, Endless Screaming bot would make a great Sonic Assault hero...)

Today's good thing: Doing my pre full moon thing. I'm not going into details in public but this is the notebook I'm using, before I put a few finishing touches on.

I miss my little buddy so much, but I'll see him this weekend!

I'm told that Paw Revere has taken to surveiling Daddy from above while Daddy sleeps.

Imagine waking up and this little guy is staring down at you.

I broke the marker step down into 3 steps and finished the first one. Next time, I go around the front side with marker, then the edges.

I think it came out all right, though I need to do something at the very bottom to fill the empty space

Much learned for next time, too

A still of musician Vana. I'm pretty sure this is from the video for Serpentine, which you should probably not search for at work.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

In contrast, Paw Revere is adorable and lovable.

But he will call for you in the dead of night wanting cuddles.

Sigils from the past couple days. These were totally improvised because I had two sheets of paper with the "bad" gesso and figured I'd make some examples of one of the steps in an art magic process I do.
Two sigils on watercolor paper that's been painted with black gesso, on a dark blue container lid. The top sigil is for bringing intuition into creativity. In the center it has a gold sun with a purple spiral inside. Below is a copper container with a tiny purple flame underneath. Above are six purple stars. The bottom sigil is for fostering bi pride and bringing people to me who will help with that. It consists of a series of abstract lines in pink, blue, and purple.
