An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together. A man curled over onto his elbows, his head in his hands, amidst green leaves. A glowing, luminous dagger dangles above his neck and spine. His hands are cupped and outstretched towards the sky. Luminous liquid slips through his fingers. A small child holding a bunny rabbit stuffed animal standing in front of a line of darkened forest. Inside the forest are lots of glowing sets of eyes An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.

Poor guy
One cartoony bunny says to another, “Why do you always wear gloves??” As the other starts to take a glove off it says, “Ya know what I’ve never taken them off befor—” The bunny reveals its hand, which is drawn in a very different, non-cartoony, sketchy style. The first bunny looks very surprised and the one who’s hand it is looks very troubled and is sweating.

Today and every day, happy Indigenous Peoples Day
#art #illustration #indigenousart #lgbtq #queerart #comics #indigenouspeoplesday
Colorful illustration of a nonbinary Indigenous person in front of the US capitol building. They have a shaved hear, black jeans, and a leather jacket and boots in shades of yellow. A red handprint is painted over their mouth as they crouch in front of a bow of burning sage. The smoke from the sage wafts over the outlines of the capitol building that are drawn in white over a purple and pink background.

Happy Monday (if you're into that sort of thing). Start it off right with some short fiction. "Tongue-Tied" by Shelley Lavigne is FREE to read on the CHM website.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.
JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

The Tower.
A strange lone tower in a endless field of gray grass, lit low as if by a flashlight. The sky is pitch black and the tower seems to go up infinitely, swallowef up by the darkness

Here are some nice mushrooms
A raspberry red coral mushrooms grow grows from the rain soak moss of the forest floor. It’s so young and bright it looks like a red rubber kooshball that’s been dropped. All photos by me
