A hand-drawn digital painting by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan of three garden eels on the ocean floor. The one in thr foreground is painted in more detail, sticking out from the sand and slightly bending its head towards streams of light depicted in a soft lilac tone, part of the dynamic shading of the piece. The other two are in the background, facing the opposite direction but similarly looking up at the light rays. The background is a mix of textured and blurry, wuth some grains of sand highlighted.
Revisiting a fave, experimenting with different brushes and gestures for this study of Spotted Garden Eels #SundayFishSketch π‘

Watermelon party for the birds! π
it's the tiny grunts with headrest/side-eye that really worm their way into one's soul
fuzzy photo of cardigan corgi sitting and slurping up a tiny piece of turkey from my fingers, big nose forward view, little tongue, bug rug and galactic blanket in back/foreground
hand feeding pieces of turkey from my sandwich to my corgi because I am too tired to resist the top tier professional begging and thus am teaching him some terrible lessons I will curse past me for later
happy Friday
Just can't get enough

what is it about the floor that sometimes just laying in it recharges your battery way fast, whats the science of floor time
ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunityβyou are appreciated more than words can express!!!
However, many folks do need to attend the larger conventions, and the big'uns do have many good aspects. In any case, just reason 5 billion to treat artist alley folks with kindness, show them some love, don't ask for discounts/free stuff, and tip generously! (y'all have tipping turned on, right?)
This is super rough! Help out a fab artist (if you can)!
If anyone is wondering why I'm doing tiny local cons this year rather than large ones (large one kept my fees last year when I couldn't attend cuz of broken bones), this is why. Also, tiny ones are so much nicer on all fronts and for me, at least, 1 day = same/+ $ (after all this is accounted for).
Itβs likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least
$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.
The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you donβt got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.
If you're wondering why I only exhibit at AZCAF, which is down the street from my house and only costs fifty bucks, this is why. Large comic conventions are absurdly expensive to table at. I can't even exhibit at Phoenix, five minutes from my house, because Artist's Alley costs $600 dollars.

A pair of Hawaiian coots engaged in nest building. The male in foreground has just handed (beaked?) the female a large stick which she will incorporate into their new home. She has the stick crosswise in her beak
Did someone say #NestBuilding for the #BirdOfTheDay theme? A pair of 'alae keΚ»okeΚ»o just after Dad made a stick delivery--at Kealia NWR the coots sometimes make nests right near the boardwalk, I guess they feel pretty safe in the reeds and the people must make the night herons nervous. :) #birds π·πΏπ¦
Text reads: Oh no! I was supposed to be at ECCC but instead I caught the flu! So it's time for a huge shop drop. There's also a doodle of me laying in bed. A collage of various risograph prints, stickers, and a book fill the page.
Folks, I caught the flu this week and won't be able to make it to ECCC. I've just dropped a bunch of new/con exclusive stuff on my online shop to help make up for the loss, and you can get 15% off til 3/15 if you use the code "BOOFLU"

Doodle sketch of giant Meh figure in clouds with flying eyes around them. There are big letters around Meh saying: "Just sketch, bro. Be free." There is small person down below with pen and paper saying "but my lineart". Meh is my sona!
"I love the look of my sketches but I hate doing linearts and..."
THEN STOP DOING LINEARTS π£π₯
It's thats simple. No "if's" or "but's", just do what you enjoy, not something that you feel obligation to! Don't feel miserable, stick to things you love doing! β€οΈ

Today is the paperback release of THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS, woo hoo! Tell your friends, family, and foes about it. And also I offer some thoughts on the book and its time out in the wild so far at Ye Olde Bloggery Hut:

A puffin duo snuggling together. I was so charmed to learn these birds do snuggle up to each other like this and I had to paint it :3

Thread from last night. I live in KS. It is a state with a small population (just under 3 million). There is a vibrant LGBTQIA+ life here, but resources can be scarce, and a lot of awfulness happened quickly. I will be adding to the thread when I have more information.
