I’m in the middle of trying to move within the next week, so I’m putting a hold on any physical items for sale in my Ko-Fi shop, but digital downloads are always open:

ko-fi.com/caseykayb/shop
A screenshot of the mobile version of my Ko-Fi shop page featuring 4 pdf cross stitch patterns with a small circular picture of me (a white woman with brown hair wearing a pink and blue crocheted beanie and a black and white striped top) in the top right corner above my display name (Casey Kay B) and the url (ko-fi.com/caseykayb). Clockwise from top left, the patterns are a black and white monarch butterfly; a photo realistic tri-colored rose; two cartoon hands held together in the red outline of a heart shape; and two version in one pdf or diagonal rows of hearts, each row in a different color of the rainbow, one pattern in a square shape and one in a circle)

Mostly black and white digital ink drawing of the best guy in Waterworld (1995), the old scraggly beard man whose whole job is float in a little boat on the oil inside a tanker and tell Dennis Hopper how much oil is left. One day he’s delighted to see, in the perpetual darkness he lives in, a burning flare drop from above and ignite all the oil he’s floating on and you can see the yellow and orange flames reflected in his big glasses here. He has a speech bubble which in the movie would read ‘oh thank god’ but here says ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Stupid cold outside today so cold art I guess?
2 finals down & 1 to go. They rented the atrium of our building out to an outside group to hold some kind of event today & they had the audacity to do a sound check during the exam! I had to go out an yell at them. Ridiculous!
Day 8 #ArtAdventCalendar
dark blue background that grades to black in the center with a four fold symmetrical pattern of light blue, cyan and white dashes, curls and stars forming a kinda showflake like pattern.

There is absolutely nothing like a delicate rose ... 🌹 #ArtAdventCalendar Day 8
#MacroMonday #FlowerPhotography #EastCoastKin #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #Roses #NaturePhotography #PhotographersofBlueSky
A close-up of a softly blurred red rose bud opening with yellow-green sepals gently curving outward from beneath the red petals. The background is a blur of peachy-pink, dark and light greens, green leaves and petals of another red rose in the upper right corner. A white vignette finishes off the edges of the frame.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 8. Stained Glass. A retirement gift and my first full panel piece. Wish I'd spent more time on the wood frame.

Day 8
#ArtAdventCalendar

"Disco Lemonade" is inspired by a phrase from a 1997 hit song by Marcy Playground. I love the phrase (and song!) so much, I had to paint it.

Acrylic on canvas that I did for fun.
#ArtAdventCalendar #marinelife #Daywhat?
A purplish blackish background. Sea plants with fish eggs clinging to them dangle from the top left. Fire coral peeks in from the top right. Diagonally across the canvas is a pathway marked by yellow larval looking things. Through the parkway baby red jellyfish travel: one way ahead of the group, one retreating, and one that has broken through the larval pathway and is hearing of in its own direction. On the bottom right is another coral, this one blue, and bottom center a curious octopus arm reaches out.

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar - a vibrant abstract I painted last month as part of my #rollandpaint daily art project.

#watercolour #art #watercolor #abstract #abstractArt
An abstract watercolour painting. Circles of various sizes overlap each other and are split by one vertical and two diagonal white lines. The circles are outlined in white and each segment within them is a magenta, blue-green, green-yellow, dark-grey, or a soft blended mix of those colours.

One of two memory quilts made from shirts. After doing 7 MQs for other people, these were made from my own dad’s shirts. This was for my brother. Lots of blue and even more plaid. He had a definite style.☺️
Quilt made from a large variety of plaids. Lots of blues, some greens, teals and reds. Comprised of two different blocks. 10 are a pieced circle within a square and 7 with pieced square set on point within a square. Half blocks fill in the gaps to make a rectangle quilt.

It might not be anywhere near cool enough here to need hot chocolate at night to warm up, but it's still hot chocolate season. I drew this a few years ago in Procreate.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 8
A square section of a digitally drawn pattern of dark blue mugs of hot chocolate each with small white marshmallows and light blue travel cups with gray bands and white lids with steam coming from the drinking slot on a dark brown background. There are small groups of three marshmallows scattered around between the mugs and cups.

Today we had 39 #ArtAdventCalendar posts without AltText, and that doesn't include the accounts I've muted so that brings us to under 90% AltText usage. And that makes me a bit sad.

On the other hand, AltText usage on BlueSky runs at about 20%, we're doing amazing.

But let's get that number up

Okay...before I actually go with the iPad (I want it for procreate),

are there any really good alternatives for Samsung tablets? I do prefer Android products, but I know procreate is only on Apple.

As the literacy rate declines, you’ll ask yourself why the quality of life continues to deteriorate in ways large and small, and in almost every instance the answer will be: because people stopped reading.

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

After I had my daughter, one of the qualities I looked for in infant formula was existence, which was an aspect my breast milk lacked
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

December 7 #ArtAdventCalendar detail study of old seed drill in black & white. From our early farm years, operating 1920s? the drill itself might be older.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7! More tomatoes!

Same tomatoes as before, after I picked ‘em. I put them in a cocktail glass and they looked pretty, so I painted them again (and then I ate ‘em.)

Watercolor again!

This time a photo I took of a lovely #carnation flower I grew in a pot. It has a touch of red to it.

Day 7

Edge of Totality
A lake covered in alternating gold and green-black ripples, above which dark clouds hover. On the horizon is a bright gold line separating the lake and the clouds. This was taken during the most recent total solar eclipse, during totality.

Posting an older piece from a year ago. I think this was my first watercolor painting so I guess it marked the start of this journey!
