Photograph I took from a path, looking at a mossy forest floor, sunlight through the trees making all the new green glow.

Got into the Bucktown Art Fest by submitting my ceramics alone and I am so proud. Itโ€™s been such a healing practice and I am grateful for the people itโ€™s brought into my life.

This piece features a Snorlax named Harvey relaxing in a wooden beach chair.  Harvey wears an unbuttoned collared shirt in blue, and a woven straw sun hat, which casts a crisscross shadow over his face, shoulders, and chest.  To his right is a wooden table holding a tall glass of iced tea with a lemon slice and a bendy straw.

Harvey calls this hat the "Treasure Hat." I guess it makes him feel like an adventurer?

This piece features a Snorlax named Chuckles going skating!  Chuckles is an unusually active Snorlax.  He wears red sandal-like skates that let his claws stick out in front.  The wheels and front stopper are yellow.  He also wears a red safety helmet with yellow details, as well as red and yellow hand/wrist protectors.

Chuckles is having a blast!

This piece features a Snorlax named Harvey sitting at a big wood-grained desk, wearing a black headset with a microphone.  In front of him on the desk is a laptop.  To one side is a USB tape player, and to the other side is a USB vinyl record player.  Also on the table are a small number of record albums and a dozen homemade tapes.

Behind Harvey to the left is a wall of vinyl record shelves.  The wall to his right has tall stacks of tape-holder slots.

Harvey does a podcast with lullabies and other smooth, relaxing music like a Pokรฉmon version of John Diliberto (who does "Echoes" on public radio).

 This picture features two Pokรฉmon: Tepig, and Turtwig. They are both happily munching on large apples and are glancing over at me, on the right, pictured wearing grey plaid shorts, a yellow T-shirt, a purple plaid scarf, rectangle glasses, and black sandals. I hold a few more apples in my arms.  I am pictured in chibi form.

We are pictured surrounded by trees, bushes, and daisies. The grass is thick under our feet. We all look happy to be here.

Happy Saturday, Cosmic! And happy Pokรฉmon Day (yesterday) to all who celebrate!

My partner and I have a number of Pokรฉmon plushies, including twin Snorlaxes (Chuckles and Harvey) that are just big enough for a good hug, or to sit in your lap and prop up your chin!

A spot illustration:

A skeletal horse and rider rear up. The rider wears ornate black and gold poncho, bolero, and mariachi cap.  They have two sets of arms, one held alot over their head with two pistols, and the other resting casually/holding the reigns.  Both the horse and rider have Catrina motifs painted around their faces.

A pale man (Finnian) with horns, unicorn legs, tail, and ears and a black man (Terron) with a unicorn horn and ears gaze into each other's eyes with desire and embrace.  Terron holds a hand to Finnian's chin, thumb to his lip. Finian's hand reaches for the Terron's rear.  Their voluminous shirts are sliding off their shoulders. Terron stakes a sword in the ground behind the pair.

Magic sparkles and mist fill the dark background.

A young woman with dark waves sits in an office, her arms are crossed and her feet are propped up on the desk in front of her as she looks off screen with a smug expression.  She wears a large witch hat and a uniform mage's trenchcoat. A big window behind her illuminates the scene, out through which the silhouette of a raven in a tree can be seen.

A tall redheaded woman in adamantine plate armor (sans the arm harness) sits on the railing of a wooden ship, leaning forward against her great sword.  Wind blows through her hair and flags tied to the ships rigging.  The ship is sailing over clouds and barely visible mountains.  Her rucksack sits at her feet.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Fan art for the anime series "Yuri!!! On Ice." On a sunset-lit beach, two men and a fluffy brown poodle run along the sand. In front is a silver-haired man (Victor Nikiforov) wearing a brown coat, dark pants and a red scarf - he holds the right hand of the man behind him, pointing excitedly ahead. Behind him being dragged along is a black-haired man with glasses (Yuuri Katsuki) wearing a blue coat, yellow scarf and light blue pants - he smiles happily at the other.

When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.
