Be not afraid!

So a week ago, I sprained my ankle and couldn't walk for 3 days. I'm used to hiking at least an hour a day with my huskies so not being able to walk at all was driving me crazy. And in my jittery sedimentary state, I kept getting visions of this blursed being: a biblically accurate axolotl. There was nothing I could do but draw it. I'm all better now and able to walk again, now back to making less cursed art (maybe)

Inktober Day 11 - Snacks - Hellbender

Yum.

Image ID: Two hellbender salamanders. One of the flat wrinkly idiots is eating the other's face. The one being eaten seems unconcerned with this. With their heads interlocked in the middle of the page and their paddle tails spiraling away from them, they look like a big tan letter S.

Big Brother

My mother doesn't understand what it's like to be surveilled.

She was a teacher who grieved the right Hook but can't imagine going to school

through a metal detector.

Can't imagine her deepest thoughts being pitted against a random generation machine. For authenticity.

Let alone SCREAMING IN THE VOID Feelings Private Made So Public to become private again.

Remembering.

Outside her windows was a world with wide open spaces. They're gone. My windows resolve into smog in the Clouds. I reach out to her

through it

she must understand

what it was like for her family to read her thoughts over her shoulder as she wrote them in her diary.

As she doesn't register the cameras over her shoulders staring from every house in her suburb as she walks the pets to the park and home again.

Let alone me

in the city

with all those cameras

plus 5

POLICE PRECINCTS PATROLLING

my one little block

WITH OFFICERS

who came

to the city

from suburbs like hers.

We're so close

when she books flights to visit last minute on a whim. She tells me how free I am in this world. I try to tell her, the window is closing.

She cries into my voicemail that I'm always on that damn phone so why can't I pick it up

right this second

for her?

I'm so busy as I sit and I stare through my window at a small patch of green to make sure it doesn't turn yellow. Or worse.

Gray.

Thinking about the Blue. Exploring the Depths. My Thoughts and Attention BOUGHT AND SOLD while I watch.

All for an algorithm that ascribes each of these feelings a specific number. For understanding.

I'm interrupted by

a deal for a clear backpack to Comply with the school policy training I've abandoned.

I imagine a world where the only supervision is big brothers.

Two of the oldest sets of paintings I've done and still have access to. I did both in high school so I'd have more than just posters on my walls when I went to college.

I don't have access to any childhood artwork that I did anymore, so it's remarkable that I have photos of them on my phone and actually still have the galaxies up on my wall.

An old Wonder Woman collage and painting I did!

TIL the silvery salamander only has females and they reproduce by borrowing sperm from a different species! And 0% of the male's genetic material gets passed down!

That's so weird I love nature!!

Dragon Skull Pirate Flag

Digital (2017)

Traditional (2021)

These were made for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign I've been playing since 2017! It's cool to see how my art has changed after all those years and also add things more specific to the ongoing campaign, like the Broken Chain.

My friend Jane as Protest Rose Quartz!

[kapreart]

The first painting I made in the oldest sketchbook I own. I did this with cheap as hell crayola watercolors and the whack plastic brush and I'm still proud of how the sunflowers turned out.
