Madame Dragonfly (from “Black Hammer”) commission, 9” by 12”, gouache and mixed media.

Madame Dragonfly

sharing this here, on horror and romance:

They are sisters. Wear your crown of flower and bone, revel in both the carnal and the carnage. What is romance but desire? What is desire but to consume? The only difference between a kiss and a bite is how deep the teeth go and both can kill.

A map of flight paths emanating from breeding colony of gulls, with this caption: Early on, LifeWatch noticed something odd. Most gulls were making daily trips to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 km away. They went to investigate and found the birds bingeing on discarded snacks at the Roger & Roger potato factory.

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory

Mars from The Honeys:

Illustration of Medusa, lying on the floor of a sunlit room with her feet propped up on a table, and her head rested against two bags of soil. The room is filled with plants on every surface and hung over the windows. On her lap, she has a statue catalogue propped open.

sorry if you've seen this one a hundred times by now. I like it and there's a bunch of newbies here.

Absolutely torrential outside tonight, lots of lightning too. Hope everyone's safe inside enjoying the light show! 💕✨

Despite this new trend the annoying thing is really that I keep forgetting to pack my tablet so I could at least use that time to write, ugh

Since I moved I keep getting to work much earlier than planned - I'm finding it difficult to pin down exactly when I need to leave the house when more than one bus or train is involved so I overcorrect and arrive 20/30 mins ahead lol

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

Calico Cat and some Tiny Dragons

A piece inspired by an AI generated image that was circulating around. A woman in black stands in the center of a room with a bed behind her and a creepy painting on the wall.

I'm seeing the AI generated version of this image making the rounds again so it's a good time to share the one I made, with my human hands, on paper, with pastels. They stole from us; I have no problem taking their GENERATED images and making my own ACTUAL ARTWORK.

Fuck AI. 🖕
