Bear Real Last Name Unknown

I create watercolor and drawing supply reviews to help other artists find stuff they'll love. Not because I get paid to (I don't), but because I'd probably be buying it anyway, and my hyperfocus manifested as an obsession with art supplies since I was a teenager.

I really enjoyed it and am hyyyyped for the movie.

This is adorable

Oh goddammit. I hope this hypothetical person with thumbs is wrong.

Black-and-white illustration of a woman with long, flowing hair radiating around her head, her eyes are stark white and her face tilted upward. Stylized, flame-like shapes swirl around her body, partially covering her torso. She holds a skull at the center of her chest with both hands. The composition has a dramatic, gothic feel, with bold black shadows behind her and intricate linework throughout.

Torn was juried into Infected by Art :D

This is GLORIOUS

The cover for WE'RE HERE 2024. An illustration (in watercolor) of an earth-toned wild hunt tapestry with muted rainbow-y accents. The lead figure is a brown-skinned elf man with long hair and an antler like crown. He has top surgery scars and wears rainbow-fringed hose with thigh high boots. He rides a massive white elk. Other figures include a tan skinned falconer, a chubby darker skinned femme archer with a fro, a knight riding a unicorn with her girlfriend riding behind her, a faun with a pan flute, a shirtless bald person with fantastic eyebrows and long nails blowing a horn, and four fey looking hounds. There is also a rainbow pastel jackalope and three rainbow pastel ravens that seem to also be members of the hunting party. The foreground is made up of Millefleur style depictions of pansies, green carnations, lavender and roses.

Very happy to share that my wild hunt tapestry painting for the We're Here 2024 ( @neonhemlock.bsky.social ) cover has made it into Infected By Art Vol.14!

I got a message that my whistles have been handed off to the intended recipient and that thanks are offered.

YAAAAAY

Dense evergreen trees lining snow encrusted shore at the edge of an icy lake that reflects the shadows and blue sky above.

Beautiful Clear Lake (photo taken by hubby who paused from rowing the boat to get the shot.) Ice on the lake, snow on the banks, and that division of sunlight and shadow. Here's to bluer skies for us all.

ANYBODY LOSE A SWORD IN THE LAKE? NO?

13 years ago I drove super far to hang out with Marcus Ranum for a collab shoot.

It was so much fun and there's loads of awesome references I still need to post from that day. Here's a few of my favs. 🥰 #PoseRef

Love that!

Ah, unions. I've never actually worked (long enough) in an industry with actual unions. Kinda sad I missed out on it.

Eugene, OR. We've been having protests at the Fed building, there've been some incidents.

Including video of an ICE agent breaking one of the building's windows, blaming it on protestors, and gassing them.

Portland's a quagmire (for them) but he's angry at Oregon and we're... notable.

The Communication Workers of America? That is AMAZING. It's the best union-aegis I've ever seen.

Previous winner was... all employees of Powell's Books in Portland are longshoremen because the ILWU was the only union that would sponsor them.

I mean, it's the truth. I call it "getting kicked in the hubris"

Dur Fuhrer has name-dropped my city, which is already havin' some issues with the feds. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a surge here.

Three tiny tabby kittens are being held gently in a person's hands. They look very young and fragile.

How is anyone able to resist a bunch of kittens? 😻
These are our newest rescues! They were found on the market in a very weak state, but we are doing everything to get them healthy and strong.

We had an appointment with the medical oncologist today. My wife had an MRI yesterday. Her tumor is 1.2mm and the lymph nodes don't seem to be affected

We're going to start with surgery and we're waiting for the genetic testing to one back before we decide on lumpectomy or double mastectomy
