A variety of dragon artworks painted in watercolor, gouache and a couple of small ink on coffee stained paper. Dragons flying through mountain backgrounds, lounging in the forest, flying over a lake with thunderclouds, dragons meeting by a tree above a waterfall, a dragon flying over a beach during sunset.

Past commissions examples:
In the middle of the night, only lit by the moonlight shining through the curtains of the richly decorated study, there she was. In her thief outfit, red and black, with all the lockpicking tools at the ready in special pockets design just for it, and a few weapons because you never who you might encounter on the job.

An elven woman with white hair sitting alone in a crypt, she's wearing a purple dress and bandages on her left hand. Surronded by candles, she's performing a ritual, the glowing writtings on the pillar framing her Behind her the light of the setting sun comes throught the stained glass with symbols of chains, illiminating her...

A woman walking with determination, holding important documents in her hand. She seems to be in a military base... A woman representing Justice, a balance in one hand and a sword in the other one, she has four wings The whole scene is lit by the colors of sunset

Oil, 18x24in

New for MtG, Edge of Eternities! It was a lot to fit into a card, but I enjoyed the opportunity to paint the black hole.

Offers for the original painting are being heard until Thursday night. More info:

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Second, contrary to the representations of the United States and the private plaintiffs there is no medical consensus on how best to treat gender dysphoria in children.

you have to repost shit like this, because just talking about it makes you sound like an insane conspiracy theorist parroting lies they read on facebook. Like if I told someone this happened, they'd roll their eyes like I was a freak and it'd damage any credibility I had left. you know?

A historic graphic of corruption.

The 11 federal agencies so far targeted for firings or dismantling by Elon Musk have more than 30 ongoing investigations into his companies.

(📸 Malika Khurana for NYT)
The graphic shows arrows going from 11 general agencies and institutions to Musk companies which include SpaceX, Tesla. neuralink, x, and Musk himself. The text at the top reads: Trump firings hit agencies with oversight of Musk's companies Staffing changes, including the firing of several top officials, have affected agencies with federal investigations into or regulatory battles with Elon Musk's companies.
