(The book was Daisy Jones & The Six btw)

The book I was reading and what I wanted to write don't even correlate but hey if watching a few video essays and reading is what it takes for the creativity to kickstart (lol obvs, consume media to make media) then it's definitely not a bad Tuesday night.

Just spent the last few hours finishing a book only to write down (pen & paper even) an intro to a new book idea.
I've always gone head first into dissecting the themes and building the outlines of books before writing them so this was an interesting way to start a new idea.

A canvas of sketches featuring Holly Mountainside and her samoyed, Nugget. Holly wears a blank white face mask that covers her facial features, except for the single eye hole on the left side of it. She is wearing various outfits, none of which have sleeves in order to show off her strong arms. From left to right, she stands in profile with her hands in her hoodie's pocket; the hoodie's sleeves are torn off. Next is Holly posed with her hand on her hip facing the viewer, wearing a sports bra and leggings. The next sketch is Holly giving her dog Nugget back skritches. Another sketch shows Holly sitting with her arm resting on a knee, her ankles crossed while Nugget sits next to her, his lolling tongue almost touching her face. In the final sketch Holly casually stands in profile while holding a leash attached to her dog, who pants and stands at attention with his tongue out next to her.

A page of digital sketches of Holly in casual workout clothes + her dog, Nugget (a Samoyed).

The art game really does change when you realize you can just color a sketch and call it finished.

A missing poster showing a woman with curly short hair and big gold hoops smiling and waving at the camera. Under her picture it says "have you seen this person?" And then there's a list of information typically seen in missing posters like name, age, height, weight, hair color, hair length, eye color, what she was wearing, last seen, all censored. It then says "an Untitled no. 89 story by Jaime A. Mosquera Manchola"

A journal entry by Josie written on lined paper bordered by a blue background. "It hasn't rained in a few weeks, and for some reason, that terrifies me. I feel the humidity suffocating me, like the sea that raised me so lovingly is flooding into my lungs and drowning me. It's clouding my brain. Making me think of something Ovidio wrote: 'this island is our sacred body and the sea its destiny; both are in constant terrifying negotiation. The argument between us and our deaths." It's so gruesome, to see fate through the lens of its most unforgiving possibility and none of its beauty. I've never accepted my destiny as anything but beautiful." The next selection is crossed out: " but because of these dreams". Return to regular text: "I can feel the spirits of this island move around me, and it makes me feel naive to believe in the goodness of fate. That my destiny can be dissimilar to theirs. Who decides which lives are lovely, and which are not? The water in the air, the ocean, my body all whisper the same doubt to me:"

A ripped piece of the line page says at the top: "is something beautiful coming for me? Or is fate truly hideous?" And a shrouded ghost is collaged onto the blue toned woods, their reflection in the water

A call for entries that says: "what does a myth say about a culture and its people's beliefs? How do tragedies and victories become part of the tales we tell for generations? Oriyamar is and island overflowing with stories and meaning. We're looking for art in any medium analyzing Oriyamar's mythology in refreshing and new ways." The rest of the text fading: "please submit high quality images of your work with a title and artist's statement to..."

Reference sheet for my character, Kno. Alongside fox ears and five fluffy tails- they have shoulder length white hair, a long fur-lined coat, and a bright chunky purple bead necklace that matches their eye color.

An illustration of Kno, holding a boba tea drink. They are colored with pastel pinks and blues and are smiling at the viewer.

A black and white illustration of Kno. A character with fox ears and long claws. Their hand is outstretched palm up as they grin with narrowed eyes and sharp fangs.

A small collection of doodles and drawings I've done over the past year+ of my character, Kno!

Little white board that says, "Ooh, you wanr physical media so bad -- ooh you don't want media literacy and reading comprehension to wither & die." Under it is a crudely drawn hypnotic circle. To the left is a drawn cat with glasses sitting on a stack of books and to the right is an alien saying "even aliens read".

Wrote this on the board at work. Hopefully it's effective.

Here is a compiled Google Sheet list I put together of over 100 regional food banks, their area of focus, and a link to their respective website.

This trend was fun when I saw it awhile back so I took the test and-

Oh.

okay um, a long time ago I was going to do a sequel zine to this but I got really busy with a job and other things, so I'm just going to post the best of what I managed, free. These are all based off of actual outfits of hers!

ngl the person who paid $66.60 on my lil goat painting went directly to my bp medication plus high protein foods to manage my diabetic diet. it matters so very fuckin much, thank you to everyone who has gotten somethin from me. yall make a huge impact.

this can work. it's slightly more effort for all concerned but it can work.

The loss of DIAMOND was a blow but it was also a lesson- MONOPOLIES are INHERENTLY EVIL and anti-business.

Comics NEED to be more like PROSE books in terms of how/where they're sold. Indie comics are the only way forward.

Science e-Books - NASA Science From Earth and the other planets in our solar system, to supermassive black holes and the distant galaxies that contain them, explore NASA science and imagery through our library of e-books.

Today I learned that NASA has a collection of free ebooks that can be downloaded as pdfs or ebub format.

The science books even include a children’s section with fun activites and coloring books!
