Greetings, #PortfolioDay!
I'm Jon, a digital artist specializing in speculative fiction and comics art.
I'm available for covers, illustrations, comics interiors, or graphic designs right now! I've got competitive rates and, according to clients, a knack for anticipating what your project needs!
We've made so many more tiny painting pendants recently!
Some crochet totes my mother made - for sale at our booth in Venice, or let me know if you want to buy online! Prices in alt text.
oh wow I am so behind on this thread! better get to strangebeautyposting! Here's a peahen spotted at the roadside stop Casa de Fruta, just southeast of Gilroy, CA.
working on it!
A small group of us wrote and filmed a horror movie WHILE we were at the Portland Horror Film Festival a couple years ago. "Seeds" is directed by Amber Bariaktari, and it's available now on our streaming partner Curios!

They've seen at least $250 of our money that would have gone to Target, so far, and probably another hundred tomorrow.
Is my little non-affluent household small potatoes? Yes. Do the sheer number of people like us add up? Hell yes.
Now that my business is finally starting to get going, I'm going to look at what I raise here as a loan to me. What I mean by that is that, when my finances become stable again, I'm going to donate an amount equal to what you all donate to me to the Trans Lifeline. 1/X
I've become something of a one-note account lately but I can still use your help spreading the word. I've raised over $7k, so far, and it'll take just a little bit more to cover the surgery cost.
Please keep sharing.
I'm behind on this thread and had better catch up. Here is one of Fae's creations! These kinds of pendants, we usually sell for around $25-30, plus or minus a bit for complexity of design. We sometimes repeat themes and motifs but each is a new, wearable piece of pictorial art in itself.
Of our generation of siblings - all of us north of 28 and south of 50 - only the oldest GenX'r has had kids, who are now adults. It's rough out there.
YOU WANT TO BUILD A MOVEMENT? MOVE
to say "you would still love me and adore me even at my worst?" and to see Yes, Of Course in the other's eyes
Thank you! 🌸u🌸 You too!
I'm someone who follows you on another account, BTW, and I want to use this one more, to cultivate stuff that is art-related and/or isn't angry discourse stuff. It will eventually be run by me and my partner together. We are planting a metaphysical garden, feel free to join us in it 💖
1) I was, now I'm just artistically insane. Will surely be demoralized again but I'll pull myself back out to insane.
2) My day just started, but yesterday I bought a cart for the business & helped my partner adjust to a new job, then we went out to see an old friend.
3) Poetry and making stuff.

I don't *exactly* mind that our upstairs neighbors are clearly keeping some kind of stampeding elephants - it means I'm surely in the clear to listen to my 12w Bluetooth speaker while painting at 4 AM - but where exactly ARE they keeping them in this place, and how did they get 'em up the stairs??
they never tell you this but one of the most parts of the artistic process is having Evil Time™️ where you sleep for 12 hours then eat a bunch of hot pockets and play video games til 4am
I just made this at the beach! Red agate, amethyst, copper, pearl and glass crystal. Love these new agates. They're chonky, glittery and feel nice in the hand.

Huh! I didn't have that happen. I have some suspicion for how they did it to some people though (convert interests to pages, flag interests based on what you talk about, make you follow interest pages - I think I may have seen that happen with other stuff in the past.)
I can't convey his accent in text - it was pretty distinctive, though. Northwestern German, from near NL. Just imagine this tall gangly fresh-faced physicist positively quivering as he tells this story. It was clearly genuinely a bit traumatic to him but funny in retrospect. Those were easier days.
"...And I turned back around and everyone had their hands up in the air with their palms forward and my life flashed before my eyes! I thought, oh no, I'm the new professor and I'm from Germany! This is terrible! What if a janitor walks in! I'll be ruined!
"... Anyway, keep your hand AT YOUR DESK!"
Anyway, when he teaches the right-hand rule for analyzing vectors to a new class, he says, "DO NOT hold your arms UP! I made a bad mistake in my first year teaching this class..."
"... So, I taught everyone the rule, then I turned around to write a problem on the blackboard..."
He's also 6'4" and hyperactive, so lectures were always entertaining, especially when we were in the auditorium-style hall with the sliding chalkboards that he would fling from floor to ceiling with his gangly arms. This isn't totally relevant, I just want you to get the full experience.
The only good "accidental Nazi salute" story comes from my undergrad physics teacher, & I've basically spoiled the story by starting it that way, but everyone needs a smile so here goes.
He was (presumably still is) a kindly German nerd with decent politics, good lessons & expectations - 🧵
Sometimes I don’t like being a universal conduit to the times. Let her say it. Let them. I’m writing something like spite today. Spiteful joy in the face of evil.
