A mixed media drawing of an androgynous figure with long dark hair, cradling the decapitated head of a wannabe king.

Fashioned after Klimt's "Judith", my "Jude" has a similar message about kings...

Good news on the front for Fantasy and Science Fiction Narrative Art. A new museum in the works for Altoona and the genre community. Looking forward to seeing this open next year (hopefully)!

Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled Nick and Nora glass. Chin-chin!

Made it with the booze we had on-hand, and it was super tasty! Will try it with better sherry and vermouth next time. Added a couple drops of Scrappy's Fire Tincture to bite thru the sweet, since I like 'em spicy...

Missed #ThirstyThursday due to a cold meds-induced brainfog, waaah. Better late than never always applies to cocktails, tho!

Last week I made a delightful drink (from Death&Co.'s book) called The Broken Oath. Been feeling the mezcal lately...

Recipe to follow...

A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller on off white paper Illustration of a man on a bicycle. The man is stationary with his bike on an isolated country lane, he stands looking over his shoulder at a dark and foreboding sky above a flat and featureless landscape. Sunlight ahead of him casts his shadow on the road. He wears clothing from the Edwardian era, flat cap, shirt & tie, pullover, jacket and a leather bag over his shoulder. The bicycle is an old fashioned delivery bike with a wicker basket on the front, mud guards and a lamp above the handlebars. He is cycling into a bright day, away from the gloom behind him.

Swore I’d start a Thirsty Thursday post, featuring a favorite cocktail, but had to pop out of town.

Found one at a Peruvian spot on our travels, tho: the Pisco Sour. I’m not certain what “pisco” is but dang, it’s tasty! And easy too.

We’re live and squirming, over at @everydayoriginal.bsky.social! What could be more romantic than eating worms?

Those (eventual) prices are madness! And the temporary ones aren’t great either…

This is absolutely crazycakes.

Mixed media original art of the Eastern hellbender, a giant salamander. And worms.

Coming up 2/4/26, o’er at @everydayoriginal.bsky.social, my thrice-yearly offering of fresh, spanking new original art! This one was super-fun and challenging, as I’m toying with incorporating watercolors (and color, gasp!) into my workflow.

Little tease:

Artist animates their painting with AI. The gallery hosting his solo show reblogs it. The crowd gets peeved at both the artist and the gallery over the use of AI. The artist gets peeved that people are accusing him of … wait for it … using AI in his art.

Album art depicting digital art in red, black, white and gray, featuring an ibis with a halo, a skull, red ribbon, rosemary and lilac sprigs, and a basilisk. The bird is spearing the reptile through the eye with it's beak.

These fine lads put out a single and I did the jacket arrrrrrt

Check out Breakaway's 'The Bird and the Basilisk'!

Klimt homage in the works. All art is political.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Embarrassing, Mr. Gurney.
