Without downloading new pics what is it like dating you?
A trans dawn morning with a semi-obscured dagger of a moon hidden behind the blue, pink, white, pink, blue. My feelings are a challenge, and I have to fight pushing them aside or sweeping them under a rug in order to process them. I don't trust easily, and sharing informationis not how I show trust. I show that I trust you by asking for help. (I otherwise would rather walk over LEGO bricks, D4s (the sharp pointy triangle dice), broken glass, while being splashed with hot tar, feathers, and glitter than ask for help.) I operate like a duck on water, calm at the surface, kicking like hell underneath. Everything seems bright and clear, but can also be cold and distant for no reason at all. I love to give, but then I will give until there is nothing left, and there are no tools I know for fixing that. It'll then turn into resentment like a hidden dagger. Consider this the hidden warning label.

Ahh, I have a rock tumbler at work for that... and I understand, life's not been pulling any punches, and as everything gets more on fire it feels like the consequences of mistakes are harder. Humor, art, and love always help.
Behold! My rocks! Fresh from Grit number 1 (again).

I may have messed up the instructions... it's been a long day.
A wild Jay, seen out in nature. He is sitting under a tree enjoying the warm sunshine and beautiful view. Wearing an orange hat, black and red glasses, a black under shirt and red cover shirt with braided lanyard.

Jennisen (Jay) Hatton
He/him

I like to attempt to copy the beauty of nature around me in various medias.. I also try to teach teens how to science.
A tired average middle-aged white man with brown hair and beard. He is wearing white synthetic opalite plugs in his ears, black and red glasses, a gray crochet sweater, and the three braided lanyards (dark blue, blue and red, and bright yellow) of his badge ensemble. He also has 2 pins, a small black cat holding a he/him knife in its mouth pin and a progress flag "you can be yourself with me" pin.

Describe your bluesky account in a single image
A silly little blue jay expertly and lovingly drawn on a silly little business card to be given away. Artist signature is in the top right corner.

Last week's #ScbwiArtober2025 October 9th Hive
Left top: 10/9 Hive, Right top: the artist signature It is a paper wasp nest on a twig and a wasp on top of the nest. A fairly limited color palate, still testing and feeling out the extent of what this cotton paper can handle.

Last week's #ScbwiArtober2025 October 8th Carve
Top left: 10/8 partially obscured by a shadow, Center: Carver, Right: the artist's signature There are trees in the background and a blue sky. In the foreground, there is a stone model of the artist holding a hammer and chisel. The artist seems to be chiseling out his own hip and thigh. "I consider myself relatively a self-made man. I may not be in perfect form, but I am still forming myself."

October 5th Eyes
Top Left: 10/5, top right: eyes, bottom left:artist signature. These are my eyes, adapted from two different pictures. The left eye in light hence the more vibrant colors, and the right eye taken in shadow. And I feel it shows off how dynamically different my eyes look like based on the environment.

Day three prompt Phantom. I was at my job's football game and looked up at the waxing Gibbous.
At the top: 10/3 Phantom with the artist's signature right of the title in white on a black and blue background. Overall, the background is mottled black, blue, and gray. In the center, there is a bright white shimmering moon that is almost directly between the first quarter and full. The man in the moon, or the Phantom of craters.

#scbwiArtober2025 day two prompt Night Light. I thought about what would be a rad night light, and that would be the Lego Lighthouse.
At the top: 10/2 Nightlight with the artist's signature in the upper right corner. The paper is grayed with charcoal. There is a Lego lighthouse lighting up a wall.

Day 1 artober, no real prompt. I just wanted to test the inks on the paper.
A drawing of a gold grape leaf clasp in black and gold. Under the leaf, written in black, it says black + gold 10/1. In the upper right-hand corner, written in black is the artist's signature.

Decisions decisions, A or B
For No Kings Day, October 18th A: "You may think," and there is a sketch of tanks and soldiers 'saluting' "that a military parade gives you a crown," the no kings crossed out crown. "It doesn't because you are still a clown." A sketch depicting our angry orange as a crying clown. -or- B: I recently saw a statue of Trump and Epstein smiling and holding hands, and I thought, "Why not draw the whole gang in?" Have them all holding hands smiling and skipping. At the bottom I'd put something like "All the Fuck Buddies together." Lemme know what you think, my muse wouldn't let me sleep until I put these sketches down. Vote A or B in the comments below.

The first painting of Fall, and my dear friend won it in a trivia tournament.
A dark indigo textured art board at the top in the center is a thin waning crescent moon with a bright silver dot of Venus next to it. It slowly brightens to the middle with gold streaks of the edge of dawn abruptly cut off by dark black/green trees. Its is a painting I saw the morning before as I headed to work.

Sending several cute cats and a beautiful sunrise in hope they can add a pinprick of light and joy. I know these are the things keeping me going.
Persephone, my tortoise shell calico tabby girl, sitting in front of me on a wood-print linoleum floor. 100% over my nonsense taking her picture instead of feeding her. Cooper, a very fluffy orange cat with a white bib, chest, and socks, perched to tap my arm for attention on the corner of the kitchen island. A beautiful blue, pink, and gold sunrise I caught a picture of while riding into work. It reminds me the the world will keep turning, the sun will keep burning long after my name will cease to exist, long after my bones become dust. This. Is. Sparta! A very sweet, very loud, stupid white and black short-hair boy that I will burn the world to ash for. He's my ride or die by my side (in my lap rn) guy. He hasn't met you yet, and I can 100% guarantee he already loves you.

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?
An open-mouthed Green T-Rex on an Orange appropriately sized skateboard wearing orange sunglasses. Looks rad. It looks like he's having a great time. His mouth is open because he is a massive dinosaur with tiny arms going fast on a skateboard. Poor thing is screaming his fool head off.
