Having no budget, this makes me feel really good & a lil like Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams, "If you build it, they will come" 🤣 cuz despite almost every industry ignoring Indigenous communities and writing us off as too niche, I'm taking this as proof of a genuine interest in getting to know us.

Two ducklings are opening a red gift box. Both birds have flushed cheeks and are looking very expectant. Beside the title ribbon, there is a rubber ducky isopod and a blue snake. The atmosphere reflects the artist's excitement and anticipation as the important sales season approaches. Promotional image with discount date information. Cherry shrimp and shy shrimp are placed on the artist's head and arms.

"serving my time" isn't a real thing in this country. this place operates on the basis of once a criminal, always a criminal. every crime carries a life sentence. if you committed a crime at any stage of your life, you arent allowed to be part of society. ever.

What might be my favourite fossil has been just published by Kiat et al. 2025. Years ago I saw a pic of this Anchiornis specimen in nat geo article and I audibly gasped.preserving not only the feathers but also the original patterns as well. I made this drawing on the spot. Maybe its time to do v2.0

Doctor Who #art post!

Happy 62 Years to Doctor Who!

A cartoon to celebrate 62 years of Doctor Who. It shows multiple Doctors (they are actually ALL there, some are just not in the picture) at a celebratory party, toasting each other (themself?) with champagne. in the foreground, on the left, is the 15th Doctor (as played by Ncuti Gatwa) who is a dark skinned young man who is wearing a brown jacket, a striped shirt, and blue pants clinking glasses with the 1st Doctor (played by William Hartnell) on the right, an old white man with long white hair, who is wearing a black jacket, with a black cape, dark blue check trousers, and a pinkish vest. They are both smiling at each other. behind them, are other Doctors also clinking glasses with each other. While not all of them are entirely visible they are (from left to right) the Fugitive Doctor (as played by Jo Martin) toasting with the War Doctor (played by John Hurt), and the 10th Doctor (played by David Tennant) with (almost nothing of him is visible, but i intended it to be) the 6th Doctor (Colin Baker). Further back again, is the 9th Doctor toasting with an unseen other incarnation, the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) with the 13th Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), and the 3rd Doctor with (again, you'll have to take my word for this) the 2nd Doctor (Patrick Troughton). Around them all, there are balloons falling from the ceiling. Above them all, is a banner, only partially legible, which originally read "Congratulations! 60 Years!" but another panel has been stitched over the top of the "0" in "60" so that it now reads "62".

Happy 59th Birthday to the 9th actor to play #TheMaster (or in this case, "Missy") on #DoctorWho, Ms Michelle Gomez!

#DoctorWho #MichelleGomez #Missy #DoctorWhoArt
A caricature of Michelle Gomez in her role as "Missy" (previously known as "The Master") on Doctor Who. She has a stern expression on her face, one hand on her hip, and the other is holding the handle of an umbrella. She is dressed all in purple, with an ankle length dress, and a long jacket with puffy shoulders. She is also wearing a white blouse, with a cameo brooch at the collar. She is wearing high heeled leather boots. Her hair is a little bit messy (a few strands and locks are hanging over her face) but it is mostly tied back in a high bun. She is wearing red lipstick, and a pale purple eye shadow.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
