This is Ignazio, he is an half Dwarf half human mechanical engineer with a passion for Cryptozoology and naturalism. He specializes in creating prosthetics that himitate animal anatomy! Oh and he wrote a book on urban leggends of his city (and he is a union man!)

An abstract environment of blue sky crossed by a defuse line of pale yellow light radiating between two distant suns to form a tilted false horizon. In the immediate foreground right, a man extends out from a spherical puffball of plant matter to grab at a woman with swim flippers floating gravity free. She is costumed in a yellow sleeveless top with plunging neckline that is cinched at the waist. Her lavender pants are similarly light fabric, and she wears something akin to webbed swim flippers on her feet. The movement and light evokes and under the sea feeling, but there is no water.
THE SMOKE RING (1988)
Acrylic - 32" x 48"
I was already fascinated with Larry Niven's free-fall environment, and then in this book I was especially taken with his descriptions of life in and around the "Clump." 1/7
Tonal preliminary concept for THE SMOKE RING featuring the layout of the cover. A pair of vertical lines in white on gray mark where the spine will fall on the dustjacket. The background left lacks the detail of creatures and buildings, only portraying clouds and spheres of plants. The right shows a figure reaching out of a puffball while a nude female playfully avoids the grab. A tilted false horizon is rendered in white connecting a sun partially hidden behind clouds and another smaller starburst.
...the human activity on the right would clutter things up too much!
Unlike the painting I did for the cover of The Integral Trees this one encompasses both suns within its field of view though they are somewhat obscured by haze or Clump material. 6/7

It's #ArtAdventCalendar day 15: say hi to the blue bobcat, an extremely unusual color variant - only one has been recorded in the last 100 years. Despite the name they are not blue/Maltese, as they have black markings and paws. The exact genetics behind how this happens aren't known.

So in Japan there is a Housing Security Benefit of $1000/month if you lose your job (or your business closes), to pay your rent.
This is one of the reasons small, weird businesses thrive in Japan: you're not risking homelessness.

A digital drawing of Merychippus, running proudly. It's a male, and he has quite a lot of different old scars. So this one is a survivor. Or a little asshole of the herd - that's up to you to imagine. He's dark brown and white, with some dark stripes on all the legs and tail. The background is dark and simple, and there's a crescent moon above the horse.
a very proud Merychippus! just another one for the early horses.

Frankie update
Had his second checkup today, got his painkiller patch off and he's flying solo now
He's fussed with the surgery site and the donut rubbed it raw past 2 days. He's in a new cone for now and hates it π 1 week to get it healing better!
Stitches out next monday!!
Wheeee look at him isn't he just so pretty!!!!

HBO has declined to renew βSesame Streetβ for new episodes. The series thatβs been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio.
Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.
Rough stone steps wind around the side of a hill defining the cliff's edge in their slow ascent. As the path turns sharply, the eroded ground beneath forms an overhang. The sky beyond is suffused with golden radiance layered with grey-blue clouds. The trees at the edge of the cliff, already in the transition to autumn, are lit by the warm glow of sunset creating a contrast of light and shadow up thick textured trunks. Out over the edge, hovering in the open air, a woman in a long dress holds her hands out as if presenting a clear spherical vessel containing a solitary flame. Bathed in the light of sunset, she stares off panel into the far distance while a pair of doves flies low, sweeping over the curving steps.

Time for more Scissorhands posting
As most of you know by now, the Musical is my fave, and I adore a specific cast from 2018/19, they did a remount in 2023
They replaced the song where Peg and Edward first meet, and I LOVE this version!
Enjoy!

A dark bird with iridescent blue and purple feathers stands on the edge of a bird feeder, looking directly towards that camera with wings spread. This pose makes it look rather intimidating and like a vampire
