nocturnal, pepe reyes 🌝
pepe does it again 🥲 his comic this year’s has pulled off the feat of being somehow even more wonderful than last year’s! i see a lot of people who seem to think comedic charm is separate from or even antithetical to ““serious art”” and i would like them to read pepe’s work…

An absolute gem of a comic from
@ivyteas.bsky.social, 'Summer of the Wondrous Salamander' follows the narrator's reminiscence of a strange childhood summer spent with a creature that eludes both definition and the authorities...
Also a story not-quite about a grandmother, and a house.

'PolyBiCarbonate Life Forms' by Deept' Megh is an autobiographical portrait of Deepti’s first queer love. It celebrates queer joy, unpacks the sapphic ‘urge to merge’, and wonders what it really means for love to be infinite.

Available now at the fair!

It’s the annual festival, and somehow Mon finds herself cornered into accepting a peculiar task from an even more peculiar challenger. With just three days to pull it off, she’ll have to think fast under the watch of this strange (and slightly pushy) creature.

Peachtober Day 10 | Seagull 🤍

#peachtober #peachtober25 #peachtober25seagull #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration

A digital illustration of a woman drawn from the chest up. She has long light brown hair and white skin. Her face is hidden behind a seagull-shaped mask and she's wearing a white feathery seagull costume. She's framed in a square and a small text under the illustration says: "October 11th - Seagull".

Day 07 | Quilt + 🌻
Maffeo and Piccolo (my two OCs) are playing with things ♞♞

I'll try to scan the drawings I make for the challenge, every 2 days, as the quality of my camera is still too :(( and I was wasting a lot of time “fixing” the lighting :[]
(for info, I'm doing #calmtober + #plantober)

I’ve been regulating my nervous system this week and warming up for a commission with this new great-horned owl cut paper #collage. It’s likely one of the only #calmtober prompts I’ll get to, though I’m still enjoying everyone else’s illustrations! #watercolor #cutpaper #owl #calmtober25

Great Horned Owl art by Sadee Schilling rendered in watercolor and cut paper collage. The artist holds the finished assemblage with detailed, layered feathers and textured watercolor washes in earthy blues, violets, and browns. A watercolor painting of a tree in a similar color palette peeks out from behind the owl.

Hello everyone! Let me share my #calmtober entries so far.🍂

Cute minimal owl illustration, with round eyes staring at the viewer. On a photo background of a dark brown forest.

Cute illustration of a black cat standing next to a smiling jack-o-lantern, on a photo background of a night scene in the woods.

Cute minimal illustration of a quilt hung up to dry on a green hill before a cloudy sky with wind blowing and colourful dead leaves tumbling.

Digital illustration of a black cat seen from the side, with his back arched, before a stormy purple sky in the background with a lightning striking in the middle of the frame.
