I attended the panel where you recommended "Elegy for Bruce Lee" as an example of a line break that can bring you to tears.

Me: How sad could one line break be?
Also me, moments later, crying: oh.

Really appreciated your insights on the panel and congrats on your nomination!

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

Clearly no actual biologists were consulted on this. Conception results in the creation of a zygote, a single fertilized cell. By definition that means that no gametes are present in the offspring at conception. Plus embryos don't undergo sex differentiation until week 7 post fertilization.

Thank you! A mix of pen and ink and ink on clayboard. The clayboard is a bit like a scratch board but it starts out white and you layer ink where you need it. Then the ink can be scratched away with any kind of sharp tool.

Hello world. I go by Atara and I'm a visual artist, scientist, and writer of horror/weird fiction from the Pacific Northwest. I'm seeking the strange and wondrous in this troubled world. Looking to connect with fellow creatives and fans of the weird and uncanny. #art #weirdfiction #horror
