Last day of #MileHiCon!

I have a panel at 1pm on Invisible Disabilities & Writing.

In the meantime I'll be around, checking out other panels, & painting wherever there's a flat surface;) I love having a little travel watercolor kit.

The art show is open to 1030 if you want to see my stuff!!

My Art Show display is a little busy but it's all up there at least. This is my first time putting myself out there as an artist as well as an author so I guess we'll see how it goes!

I'm at #MileHiCon this weekend!

I'm on panels tomorrow(Saturday) and Sunday, and you can also see or purchase my art in the art show starting tonight!

Comet does the same thing when he wants to let you know he's never been petted, ever, in his life.

He streeeetches up a human's leg to reach as high as possible. And while also trimmed, there are often surprise!claw pokes.

But dang it, it's so cute.

Post WorldCon, my husband & I took a cruise up to Alaska and back for our 20th anniversary. I did a little painting on the boat:

There were also some lovely iridescent beetles (beetles of all kinds really), a plethora of stick bugs, many spiders and tarantulas, and big katydids and related critters, and African millipedes!

We're in Victoria, BC today and went to the Bug Zoo, so of course I thought of @seananmcguire.bsky.social . This mantis' name is Caitlyn. It's a Hierodula membranacea or a giant Asian mantis. There were a couple others but this one posed the nicest.

I am very tired but a lot of work is about to pay off. Last summer I dug out every last bit of gravel out of the borders of my yard. This year I dug, laid, & arranged a jigsaw puzzle of a flagstone patio.

As soon as I have 2 days without rain, I put in the polymeric sand & it'll be done.

Yay!! My copy of "In Memoriam" from @lyndsie-clark.bsky.social 's Kickstarter arrived! I can't wait to get into it 🤩

It's on the website now so I guess I can scream about it: my extremely awesome husband was invited to be Science Guest of Honor at COSine next January!!!

I'm so proud of him, and he's thrilled! Get ready for some Very Enthusiastic Science!!

Decided on a flame lynx point 🤷 but this nebula kitty is finished
February 11, 2025 at 11:46 PM
It's like a Siamese seal point but with tabby stripes instead of solid. There's color variation too, like orange tabbys (flame lynx point), chocolate, lilac, etc.
February 10, 2025 at 3:03 PM
Ok what color should the cat be, y'all?
I was thinking lynx point? 🤔 What do y'all think?
February 10, 2025 at 4:19 AM
Today's art WIP. Dunno what color the cat still be but I'm having fun with the swirly space nebula esque background

Eagle owls are amazing! I love them. This is Guinevere, who I met in Edinburgh, and Koko, at the Writing Excuses birds & horses retreat!

Comet just had to be in the way of everything.

I need to cleanse my own brain feed if not help other folks cleanse theirs too. Behold, the rare lap-dwelling Comet.

There should be no sound to this video, if I did it right.

This year was really, really hard. A few good things but mostly a lot of slogging terribleness that just never let up. I'm looking forward to a change, at minimum.

And 2024 - goodbye and good riddance, and may you rest in more peace than you gave any of us.

Happy holidays!

Oh no, I think not. Nuked immediately.

I stayed up way too late and once again am taking bad pictures in bad lighting, but I finished this dude. Sketched this afternoon, colored mostly this evening after dinner. Prismacolors on toned tan paper

Goodness that's a lot of new followers! Did I get on a starter pack or list something?

Anyways, Hi! I'm Reed! I write things. In 🧵

I've been considering a second account for all my not-author things, like art, and SCA stuff (hi! I'm also Regalis dei Falchi of the Outlands: scribe!)

Have a cat.
