Day 19 of my 2025 Favorites: Schizomida mom and her cluster of baby clones!

I've had many generations of these tiny arachnids from 2 females (they're parthenogenic) collected in a public park near Miami a few years ago, and happened to spot this one with her babies one evening. Delightful lump 🥹

Yeah, Snapseed maybe. It's owned by Google now, so don't know how long it'll be AI free (think they've lost interest in it tho).

It’s a story about what it means to lose faith in someone you used to look up to, with a lot of parodies of artists who have turned out to be awful people.

No worries! I don't think figure drawing is a *requirement* for being a good artist anyway. But for me it was one of the few art classes that really challenged me, because I don't like drawing humans. I made a lot of bad drawings, and a few ok drawings. But I learned a lot.

I didn't really *enjoy* the figure drawing classes I took in college, but they did make me a better artist (admitted grudgingly many years later).

It's important to do art you enjoy too tho!
