It's finally starting to cool down here in Northern California, and I've wanted nothing but to be in bed all week. I finally gave into the impulse and am in bed with my laptop and a thick blanket and my idiot rage machine.

Make your therapist cry again. Develop one new kink. Conduct a séance on the lawn of a Republican politician. Try to convince them their great grandfather is super disappointed in them. Use a smoke bomb to disappear before they manage to call the police.

The deadly mermaid is here! She is a little bored today, no one new to meet and greet in the sea and invite down to the depths with her💀

An illustration of a mermaid laying on her side with her back to us. She has pale hair and a red tail with dark pink skin. Her fins are translucent and can be seen to be so as they curl around her back. Around her are bones and skulls of humans. She rests her arm on a skull. The background is a plain light peachy pink

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I also sit outside and take photos of my garden, which attracts lots of bees and butterflies. The raccoons and possums show up at night (we have a night camera that snaps their picture).

Everything in this group actually exist out there in the world :)

#PortfolioDay

abstracted painting of a monarch butterfly. the flowers have shapes of leaves and butterfly wings. bright pink, bright green, and orange.

chaotic raccoon in pink and green with an abstract background. he has a few little strawberry flowers on his fur. hands are in the jazz hands pose and he's looking at the camera.

Three paintings of a bee with bright purple and pink flower, a white cabbage butterfly with teal and olive green shapes, and a dark blue butterfly with wings spread.

A few tiny paintings of critters. A tiny baby blue possum, a tiny pink possum with stars, a purple possum with lots of little stars, a green raccoon with striped background, and a rainbow colored ladybug.

Hey #portfolioday!
I'm Laura, a fantasy abstract fine artist that sometimes does illustrations! Huge fan of stories, whether they're a single line or pages upon pages. I work in watercolor, graphite powder, and gouache
My style vibes with what I need it to do
[email protected]
fallenlights.net

landscape of branches and roots growing around a small puddle of water. a blue raven stands above it with a feather in his beak, peering down into the water.

three small abstract landscape paintings. Green seaweed looking one, a green stone formation that can be a city or forest, and a green and yellow natural formation that can be a leaf breaking apart

Two book cover paintings. a blue one with a man and a sword, looking tired and worn, and a burnt hand besides him. the background is abstract shapes hidden by misty swirls.

The second image is of a city. There is a crowd of people that are just forms, and one man standing out in a red trenchcoat and white eyes staring at the viewer.

dark blue landscape of two woods meeting for a conversation. It can also possibly be a single tree split down the middle.

One of my quotes:

"I know it's worth it because someday some young kid who's had everything about trans people censored all their life will happen across something I wrote and know they aren't alone. If I had it to do over, I'd do it all again and more."

A digital artwork of two female characters standing and holding each other, foreheads pressed up against each other, in a wilderness area with a vibrant and colorful sunset behind them. One is East Asian with short brown hair, cool grey clothing with short sleeves, and is gazing lovingly at her girlfriend (with one had on the ass because dat ass), the other is white and has long light brown hair, wearing a light blue coat and grey scarf, and has her eyes closed with a soft smile. It's very cute, very gay.

A realistic black and white charcoal portrait drawing of a dog (long neck and face, regal pose, face is almost directly at the camera; shiny dark short fur with longer white tuffs down the neck's middle), drawn on blue toned paper. Charcoal pencils and tortillons lay next to the artwork.

A photo of a traditional artwork of a vast landscape, a sun rising behind clouds, shining over distant mountains and forests, with cliffs surrounding the central subject of a magic beanstalk, towering over everything. Drawn with Tombow markers, also seen in the photograph.

A digital portrait drawing of a masculine anthro dragon character with white skin with gold markings, and red eyes. He has shoulder length blonde hair, long ears and horns, and is smiling while sticking out his snake like tongue.

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.
