THE ARCH OF SOLSTICE (2016)
Acrylic - 16” x 26”

For several months, I’d been taking daily walks after sunset, and the moon has been my companion much of the time. One evening a crescent moon hung over the horizon with Venus glowing brilliantly below it. 1/4

More art. I'm sad I didn't have a liner brush for the markings. I guess it goes on the list of thngs I'll eventually buy.
But done is better than perfect.

Made some art for once. I don't like the way the arms and claws are so... Big but for some reason I didn't fix it before inking so it's here now.
Bonus pick of Nikolai who tried to chew on the pencils. And brushes. And put his face in the paint water.

Psoriasis can go fuck itself.
Some days I'm okay and only have mild itching/dry skin and then there are days like today where I want to claw all the layers off and start over. Or jump into a vat of acid since it'd be faster.
It puts the lotion on its skin also keeps running through my head lol

I am so PUMPED about the forecast for tomorrow and Sunday. It's supposed to be rainy and cool and windy and it feels like Michigan finally figured out what month we're in.

One of my fav series with coverart by one of my fav artists.
Dragonsbane is a gem! 🌟 Hambly weaves magic with her storytelling. "A tale of courage and heart" indeed! Can't wait to dive back into this one! 📚✨ #Dragonsbane #Fantasy
Random SFF Book of the Day: Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly, 1985.

An early Fantasy novel from this American author, Dragonsbane tells a classic story of dragons and dragonslayers, kings and witches, all with the deft hand of a master storyteller.

Cover Art by Michael Whelan

Can't seem to fall asleep and randomly missing tvo. Like PBS was my bread and butter growing up but tvo was up there too.

Canadian TV always just seemed better. And somehow came in clearer lmao

This week I finished my rewatch of Witch Hunter Robin, did the Yuri on Ice rewatch, and finished Link Click.

I guess I should work on more of my to watch list or I could rewatch Serial Experiments Lain. Choices.

Can't believe JD Vance is going to be the first millennial president of the US

And possibly the first US president to murder a pope

Didn't sleep today but I finished OG Gundam and watched Char's Counterattack. It's fun to see the beginnings of the Gundam tropes.

Now the question is to continue with AC or restart Iron Blooded Orphans to finish it finally. 🤔

A Very Specific Association I have with mattress commercials and a children's book called The Shuteyes will make me sound insane

The Shuteyes are people who sleep on a planet where the majority of people don't sleep. And thier main industries are mattress making and coffin making.

My job is not hard. You just have to be able to read and follow directions on the account 99% of the time.

Oh boy do my coworkers have an issue with the reading part.

Did I forget it was #smaugust?
Maybe.
Yes.
My goal this year is to draw 30 dragons and get back into the habit of drawing. And remembering how colored pencils work.

Finally made a spreadsheet for my tarot/oracle card collection and uh... I have a lot.
23 tarot decks, 13 oracle decks, and 4 affirmation decks.
And that's not counting my pre-orders rip.

This is one of the few times a year I miss monitoring cameras. All the firework shows.

Detroit's got a good show this year.

Fav way to spend time.
One of my spouse's and I's favorite pastimes is judging couples on The Ultimatum or Too Hot to handle. Especially since we're queer and poly, lol.
