New sticker coming, Pacific Northwest edition
Sticker design with Sloth and Manatee and the words, "Wherever we go, we are friends." Sloth is wearing a tie-dye shirt and Manatee has a certain glow as they drift over tree covered mountains.

Switching up angles gives your characters lots of life, it's like cinematography on a page

A cartoon that appears in this week's Space Boat which is a goofy little cozy mess of thoughts and comics and art I send out on Saturday mornings, I'm told it hits differently in These Times

I've been polishing Neptune Road and gotten through the first 32 pages and printed it out in zine form and I'm quite excited to see it all together. It's the story of people/misfits/criminals living on a somewhat terra-formed planet.

Photo of the front cover of Neptune Road, depicting a roadside sign that reads "Welcome to Neptune, air sunlight most days, vacancies" and some sort of transport flying overhead Photo of a spread of two pages from Neptune Road, showing arrival of a transport and a young character tying her shoes Photo of a spread from Neptune Road showing two characters discussing a missing kid, one of them is an agent tasked with finding her and the other is the self-appointed Neptune greeter

There are wolves inside of you, wild and free.
There's also a grizzled raccoon who's seen too much, a wine drunk lynx with late night ennui, and a sleepy little squirrel who often feels the weight of the world.

Recently visited the Glass Flowers at Harvard, a collection of 4,300 extraordinarily realistic glass models of plants crafted by the Blaschkas, a father and son team of sculptors

That’s right, these are all made primarily of GLASS — a fact difficult to accept given how accurate & lifelike they are
An overview shot of a portion of the collection: a long window box with wooden frames filled with glass models of plants carefully arranged and labeled on white backgrounds, as though part of a 3D herbarium. From this distance, they are indistinguishable from real plants. Glass model of maple leaves, featuring blended molten glass that mimics the red hues of autumn foliage A glass model of a Columbine (Aquilegia) with parsley-like leaves and pendulous, faintly red and yellow flowers that look like swans huddled together, necks touching and wings flared out. Glass model of a Potentilla with almost ferny foliage and simple, open-faced yellow flowers with fuzzy centers.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.
