Vacation day six. Back home. Dealing with an Internet outage, insurance questions, and other non fun things. I don't have an #art piece specifically for this, so have this autumnal #watercolor called "Last Leaves". Original is for sale in my Ko-Fi shop. #bsnm

Vacation day 5. Everything hurts after yesterday's Peaks Island visit, so I'm going to go eat a wood fired bagel, & visit SΓΈdt - Nordic Candy Store. In honor of that last bit, today's #art is a #watercolor Norse mushroom.

Out the windows, we see a dark starry sky and the lower half of a green and blue planet. Inside the ship is a console with alien text on two screens with a panel with horizontal lines between them. The text reads, "Skies Over Other Worlds" in an alphabet I invented as a child.
Vacation day three - we're on the road to Maine! So the #art I'm sharing is about long journeys. This #watercolor is called "Arrival: or Aerodynamics Don't Matter in the Vacuum of Space", and is available to purchase in my Ko-Fi shop. #bsnm

Please. The Felon in Chief doesn't give one toss about hungry people, sick people, poor people, brown people, or, you know...people. He is actively murdering people and making people suffer and he LOVES it. The cruelty is the point. He cannot be appealed to.

Vacation, day one. Lots of errands planned today: hairdresser, post office, comic shop, CVS, etc. Not sure how much #art I'll get to make this week, so here's a vacation themed #watercolor: "Rag Doll Man Goes for a Hike".

I guess when you need gAI to create literally anything, you assume that's true of everyone.
I lived in Vermont for ten years, and never had a maple creemee. Maybe I didn't so much choose to leave as I got exiled for failing to follow the norms?

Wouldn't want to lose those man bucks just to make a point.

What's that, guys? You like the design, but don't think the cut will flatter your curve-free body? Let me tell you a story about my experience buying cool T-shirts for the last several decades.
A photo of a white woman with red hair and black glasses wearing a black T-shirt. The names "Aragon" and "Boleyn" are visible. Less visible below them are "Seymour", "Cleve's", "Howard", and "Parr". The logo for the Broadway show "SIX" is on the sleeve.
You know, for a show that's all about queens, and how they are fully formed people in their own right who should be known for more than just who they were married to, I'm pretty disappointed that "SIX" only had this awesome shirt in unisex - ie "made to fit a typical male body" - sizes. π§΅
