@unknown.garden
i lurk a lot. 40s. artist in watercolor, digital &etc, linux wrangler & hacker, plant hoarder, crossroads scavenger & sometimes writer. privacy nerd. unsolicited advice gets muted at *best*

they/them/oh god what is that
gender AND art goals, honestly

also i realized tonight that if you count Sneaker Pimps I've loved their work almost as long as Nails

you know me. it takes SO MUCH for me to actually dunk instead of yelling about it on discord but oh my fucking god i'm so tired of people conflating fiction and reality, in both directions

previous repost made me want to look up giant salamander plushies for the usual reasons and while I'm glad choices have expanded beyond '70-some dollar Japanese museum merch', this one from Target looks like it's been eating nothing but angry bees

so I've had the NWS website for my zip on my bookmarks for a while, the closest they have for Charlotte being Greenville SC Airport for some reason & today it's just. empty.

extended & graphs seem okay, but this is weird bc i'm pretty sure the bit in the screenshot is what feeds to weather apps etc

it was not a drawing so much as a doodled-on Cartoon Network web element, but digging around for it in the hard drive junk drawer was kind of entertaining?

saw this little guy outside when i went to dump coffee grounds into the mulching bucket

fifteen minutes later, hands full of the mess of cutting up a melon, i heard cicada noises, went to check: a cardinal was chasing, pecking and kicking this bug that's bigger than his entire head

in nicer news, my extremely feline grey paints (+1 fancy granulating one) from @lycomorpha.bsky.social showed up yesterday along with some samples of other stuff

i think I'm funny, sometimes

you should get in on these because idk what this is going to do to printers here once existing stores of paper etc are gone unknownbinaries.storenvy.com

so this may have been ill advised considering how big they get, but in my defense it was 12$ and also the smallest I've seen for sale, and also also i love them

breaking up the reposts with a chunk of lichen covered bark i found in the courtyard after last week's storms

what 'bulk editing prices' on Inprint feels like

like. give me a place to enter a blanket markup for each type of thing like RB did, or even just a place to change the price for all prints in a size and type. editing each print, in every single size & surface it's available in, individually?

went to get some steps for a PokeGo thing before it ended, the overgrown creek behind the apartments was showing off a little

started this on one of Liquitex's ~recycled~ canvases to use up the too much paint i mixed on another thing, so don't judge my adherence to nature too hard, mostly wanted to paint a specific peony from my refs dump bc it looked like the stylised ones in Tibetan art even more than usual

this plus ragweed means 'i have zero braincells not awash in histamines' & thus i haven't been good for much besides lurking in the a/c like it's a cabin in a blizzard, complaining & reposting shit

i went with stuff i knew at or near the time & were a big deal for me, but the number of things on the wikipedia list that i had no idea how long they'd been at it when i got into them way later was A Lot (16 Horsepower started back then? Placebo??)

doing the scan as a quote because I'm really happy with those grasses & you get this twice

finished last night, got into a Thing™ about whether or not to varnish it, still kind of stuck about it
