Excellent reporting & a must read from Elena Nicholson at the Michigan Daily about the Data Center UofM is trying to forcefully build in Ypsilanti www.michigandaily.com/opinion/colu...

#stopthedatacenter
How UMich is forcing a data center on Ypsilanti
The combined 144 acres the University seems to have settled on are agricultural or recreational use land. No one deserves to have their local park taken over by a data center.

Enjoyed the time I was able to spend in northern Michigan.
The sun sets over Lake Michigan. The water is calm - the sand on the beach full of peaks and valleys.

The Treat Farm Trail was my favorite hike at the Sleeping Bear Dunes. 💙

There are too many babies at this brewery. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but stop bringing your kids to 21+ establishments. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If the chipmunks of Ann Arbor would stop darting out in front of my car during my morning commute I would really appreciate it. 🐿️

(Don’t worry, I brake for all of them)

I turned a couple of my recent illustrations into greeting cards. Really happy with how they turned out. They’re matte and super thick.
Two greeting cards lay on a tabletop. They feature black and white drawings of gay dudes. The card on top features a couple snuggling in their bed and the card on the bottom features a plant daddy with a mustache working in his greenhouse.

Black and white drawing of a nerdy, shirtless beefcake in bed. He is surrounded by comic books and magazines. On the floor of his room are scattered books, houseplants and his two dogs sharing a bone. A black and white illustration of two guys out on the town for a movie night. They are walking with their arms around each other in front of a theater entrance. LGBTQ art. A black and white illustration of two guys hanging out in front of a bodega. The scene is chaotic. There are several rats with food in the picture. There are stickers and graffiti tags on the building and on the street.

“Bedtime” - digital illustration 💤

#art #blackandwhite #drawing #gayart #queerartist #blueskyart #inbed #artistsonbluesky
A black and white illustration of two guys cuddling in bed. Their bed is covered in different blankets and throws with varying patterns. In the foreground an Aussie mix guards his bone while a Boston terrier hugs one of his stuffed toys - a small fart escapes his backside. Zooming in on the two men - we see they’re leaning against the headboard reading a print edition of the podcast Who? Weekly. A cat slumbers behind them.

“Sunroom” & “Outdoor Reading”. A couple of new slice of life illustrations I’ve been working on.

[ #art #drawing #blackandwhite #gayartist #sliceoflife #blueskyart ]
A black and white illustration of a bearded man sitting in a sunroom reading a magazine about hiking. He is surrounded by different kinds of potted plants and has several books and trinkets on the table in front of him. His dog is at his aide excitedly trying to get his attention while his cat snoozes above his head in a hanging pot. A black and white illustration of a bearded dude snuggled up with his cat outdoors while he reads a copy of the comic book Moon Zombie. Several moths can be seen fluttering around him.

Checking out the Jolly Pumpkin in Dexter, MI. I’ve been to the Traverse City location, but I’ve been meaning to get to this one for awhile now. #craftbeer
A cold glass of IPA beer sits on a coaster on a wood bar top. There is a faint logo etched on the glass of a pumpkin character with the words “Jolly Pumpkin” below it.
