I'm here for art, writing, music, and magic. Transforming trash into temples and raising gardens from ruins.

"We are not our ancestors" is not gonna yet us through this moment. You better wish you were your ancestors who survived the middle passage, chattel slavery, who consistently revolted, who made ways as maroons. We definitely need to connect with Black legacies of survival for now.

Happy Saturday friends. #BlueSkyArtShow has given us the #ArtChallenge of sharing art that depicts the concept of #alternating
This image demonstrates alternating through its repetition of light and shadow across architectural elements.

Been listening to this Black Sabbath cover for a while now. Seems like a good time to share it.

When I say black vultures are curious and friendly birds, I mean it. Our resident flock visits the house and garden daily just to chill. We don't feed them or anything, they lived here before we moved in. Here's Tim (named after the Sorcerer) and this year's fledglings visiting Potatoes.

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games.
Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

I'm rezzing the Planettes art series! Planettes was/is a series of 13 ladies designed off real planet facts, with one for each planet + Pluto, the Sun, Earth's moon, and Milky Way. First up is Mars!
Fun fact: Mars has two wobbly lil moons that were probably captured asteroids

Also, if by any chance--is there anyone either on my feed or feed adjacent who's done media production office work (2nd AD, Line Producer, etc), who would be willing to do a 15 to 30 min interview about it? It's a NJ Film Academy assignment; we're trying to prep folks for Netflix studios opening

I know how spring/summer vending season is. So why did I think jumping back into film industry classes on top of my 11 hr days and running this household was a plan?
I am half convinced I will never have a free moment again, lol

This is the way. Enjoy what I create or don't (If I ever stop hoarding it, lol). I'm happy to discuss the work, but I don't crave fame or parasocial relationships. I had a little taste of that already and I didn't enjoy the flavor 😭
lol I don't want to be famous, but I want my work to be well known. Does that make sense? Like please don't pay attention my dating life, just my citations LOL

Haven't painted digitally in a few years, but @tobyfoxart.bsky.social 's tutorial was a good excuse to take Rebelle 7 on a test drive (my rolling hills became distant mountains along the way 😅).
This background art is begging for some figures, I'll have to brush the dust off some OCs eventually!

Wow, a 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian paint box containing its original pigments!
Looks similar to a modern-day set!
An inscription tells us it belonged to Amenemope, Vizier during the reign of king Amenhotep II. 📷 The Cleveland Museum of Art www.clevelandart.org/art/1914.680

![A Cleveland Museum photo showing an ancient Egyptian paint box carved from boxwood with five oval wells containing original paint pigments. Dimensions 2.2 cm x 21 cm x 3.6 cm. From top to bottom the preserved cake pigments are red (red ochre), blue (Egyptian blue), green (a mixture of Egyptian blue, yellow ochre, and orpiment) and two of black (carbon black, from charcoal).
On the front of the box there’s an inscription inlaid in Egyptian blue with the name Amenemope who was Vizier during the reign of Amenhotep II, Dynasty 18. It translates as ‘The overseer of the city and vizier Amenemope. Master of secrets of the west bank [of Thebes]’. A red inscription on the back reads ‘Amen-Ra, Lord of the Thrones of the Two Lands’. Dated c. 1427-1401 BC.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j56ydp325adovobhwpkzc6sp/bafkreifxdihfkji3qsxevxjr3szesqg2pgvueax2omtlwnz4kwgcztzbky@jpeg)

Feeling very grumpy about the void here so l've channeled that into a list of weird or weird-ish or weird-adjacent or theoretically-weird collections by Black authors (some of which I’ve read and too many of which I have not)

A quick test of a new workflow using Vegas Pro video editor, some random sfx from my freshly organized library, and a bit of video shot of an amulet consecration from a while back. I think I can work with this.
