Idk why, but this painting seems haunted to me. Perhaps it’s the eggs just laying there without a bowl or other container. Saw this at the Speed Museum in Louisville today
Painting by William Bailey, American, born 1930, Still Life of 10 Eggs, White Vase, Blue and White Vase and Enamel Cup, 1971, oil on canvas, This painting looks haunted. Maybe more surreal than haunted, but something is off.

Going to go old bat mode here:
When I want a picture of a 3-headed possum version of Cerberus, I draw my own damn picture, not farm it out to AI.
“But Sarah, I can’t draw!”
Neither can I but I do it because it’s fun and it’s human and skill matters less than actually doing something yourself.
A colored pencil drawing of a 3-headed possum. The middle head is hissing. There are flames in the background.

Behold the cat beholding you. (With suspicion, because Luna is suspicious of everyone.)
A black cat with a white patch of fur on her chest. She is looking at you with suspicion in her green eyes. Her name is Luna.

I’m at my writing group tonight and I finished the story I was working on, so I took the opportunity to draw this masterpiece that had been echoing in my head all afternoon.
A very rough pencil drawing of a dik-dik in a heart with the caption “might as well face it, you’re a dik-dik in love”

Post from tumblr. Text reads: I think the hottest look you can give someone after they commit acts of unspeakable violence is approval. Like don’t get me wrong if there’s lust there too that’s great, but staring at someone with gore dripping down their chin and coating their hands to the wrists with undisguised appraisal and admiration. Maybe giving them a little nod as if to say well done. That’s what says yeah we’re gonna fuck nasty later. I could fix him, well I could pat him on the head and tell him he’s a good boy.

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September.
A woman hugging a snarling furry black monster. The text on the woman reads “you’re such a good baby, I love you so much.” The text on the monster reads “my cat”

Drew this Edward Gorey style bat today. Pleased with how it looks, considering I am not patient and don’t have a steady hand.
A drawing of a bat done in black ballpoint pen. It is an Edward Gorey style bat, with a background of a sky done in horizontal strokes and a grassy foreground done in swirls.

I’m a French bulldog. I have a beret. And apparently a tattoo of my own face on my face.

Also, the baby doll is an absolute unit.
A Caucasian baby doll built like a brick shithouse. Like shirtless Kylo Ren, but wider.

This baby doll is fed up with your bullshit.
A close up of a Caucasian baby doll with gray eyes and an expression that implies it’s not even a year old and it’s seen enough bullshit for a lifetime.

Many things suck right now, but I added a pink and purple Brachiosaurus to the world, and I feel a little better.
A wooden cutout of a Brachiosaurus. It is painted pink with teal spots and has a purple belly with silver stripes. It is smiling.

Luna, looking regal as usual. Me, looking too much like my dad in the background.

Thanks as always!
Check out my book Jubilation Grove and Other Nightmares. In “Alternate Realty”, an open house takes a turn for the bizarre. Contains one of my favorite sentences I’ve ever written.

I don’t think I’ll ever top this one where I’m too fabulous.
A woman with short wavy auburn hair. She is wearing big pink cat eye glasses with pearls on them and a purple sequined top. She is too fabulous.

I can imagine someone googling “Bigfoot sack” and getting introduced to the work of @chucktingle.bsky.social
Post from a buy nothing group on Facebook. It says “I have two of these—not sure what they are. I tried to google search and some of it pops up like a water holder…” The picture is of a sack that has the word Bigfoot on it.
