"Why can't you stop living in a fantasy world and focus on #reality?" she asked with a flash of irritation.
He turned on the news. More war, more crime, more scandal. A myriad of ways in which humans could make the lives of their fellows worse.
"Nope," he said, and picked up his book again.

Grainy smiles still warm in an old #photo. What dreams and #goals they have shining in their eyes, captured forever on glossy paper.

Painted tonight, but it’s nowhere near done, so instead here’s a piece I did in 2024 called Frosty Twilight (16”x20” mixed media). I went through a whole birches phase and this was part of that series.
Anyhoooo….who’s ready for Monday?! I’m not! Lol #art #painting #mixedmedia #sundayscaries

Subglacially. The ice knows. It has known since before names, before warmth. In the cold black, microbes. Extremophiles unfurling. 15 million years of silence, yearning, thrust against itself. Science. The dentist chair. The drill’s hot bite—a clean, intimate crack. Oh. Hello.

There is no earthly reason why this abomination should have ever been conceived, let alone developed and marketed. And even less rational justification for it being so unfathomably delicious or utterly addictive.
It is crack in a bottle and must be regulated, before the whole country is lost to it.

Can't believe I got into playing this video game purely from seeing the memes and it turned out to be genuinely entertaining.

I got the chance to do this style emulation, and it was so so fun. I love Pokemon so much.

Doing a loop in Silver Lake, and Ivanhoe Reservoir is looking nicely van Gogh-esque this morning, a kind of daylight version of "The Starry Night."

“Who Said I Was a Wizard?”
Character art I made for a D&D campaign I’ve joined after another one ended. Roan is very old school wizard coded (with a touch of druid). Portraying a witty grandfather and former farmer thrust into a dungeon crawl amid a party of otherwise young adults is good fun.

The lawmaker presented the document to Abeis.
‘What’s this about?’ Abeis asked, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. He crushed the scroll in his fist. 'My people are governed by the strongest, not by written #law,' he growled.
'In Palmyra, the laws rule us,' Lady Bahria replied calmly.
