Sketch and Final

Before #InsectWeek passes me by (working on an arachnid 😅) here’s a bug—a true bug, water boatman (Corixidae)—I made in bronze and silver, articulated to show that, surprisingly, these swimmers are good fliers! 1/2 #SciArt

is this anything

him trying to dust into immediately breaking down absolutely shattered me what the hell :(

The thing that artists rarely talk about is that you always fail at what you want to do with your art, but you gotta pick yourself up and try again. Failure is an implicit part of the process, and you always get a little better each time

The station shown at the end is Portland's Union Station! I love taking the train -- it's how I'll be getting home from my July book tour. (Yes, there are details about that book tour linked in my bio!)

Crop and discussion abt lore as usual!

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Luddites weren't anti-tech. They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker. I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.

I am happy because everyone loves me

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

Had it been 6 months already?

My take on the Rapunzel story; the new Foliosociety's contest was a fun excuse to think of and imagine my own Dame Gothel.

Good morning to everyone who has read The Pushcart War, and to everyone who has not yet read The Pushcart War.

Hey, let's outlive these ghouls ok? Let's witness their demise together

1. I went to a cheap and shitty local school for my actual art degree so I'd have a BFA, then saved up and took one class at time for a few years at the Academy of Art University in SF (but didn't get a degree there). I also took workshops and online classes. I never took out student loans.
