I'm making a Terence McKenna x Art Bell fanzine. 👽🍄 I had a lot of feelings after listening to their 1997-2000 interviews. The pics of them in the 60's are a hoot bc you'd never guess they'd be pals 30 years later.

Portraits of my mother's dogs, Twiggy and Ziggy. Twigs passed in 2022, age 16, and Zig passed earlier this month, age 18. They were her best buddies. Because of her, they lived long, happy lives. We miss them very much. #dogs #petportrait #portrait #art #drawing #artsky #chihuahua #gooddogs

Sleepless at 4:30 am. In a few hours, I will have surgery, and a new baby. Here's a linocut I was working on before I ran out of time-- the joy and madness of having two puppies tugging on me. We are mammals alchemical. #printmaking #linocut #artsky #parenthood #birth #anthro #werewolf #nightbitch

I avoid using the word "talent" with my students. I ask them to use the word "skill". Growing up, I was told by many how 'talented' I was. While slightly bolstering, it mostly made me feel like making a 'bad' drawing would break my covenant with the Talent Faeries and my powers would be forfeit.
I know "wow you're such a good artist, I wish I could do that!" is a compliment so I always resist the urge to point out that you, too, could indeed do that by banging your head against it for 25 years

I bet you have a lot of skills I don't have! I bet it took you time and effort to learn them!
A lot about societies treatment of artists went downhill as soon as people forgot it's a craft one works at becoming skilled at, not some magical power you have bestowed upon you by fairies upon your birth.

Hyenas have a large clitoris, sometimes mistaken for a penis. But make no mistake—it’s 8 inches of clit. Female #hyenas wield their big clit energy as dominant hunters, fierce protectors, and natural leaders.

2025. Micron pen on bristol paper. I shall cast away evil with fang and spine. I shall nourish my children with this soft white underbelly.

🌵 Watercolor Cactus Garden

Celebrating the vibrant beauty of desert plants with a watercolor painting! I see a lot of these in AZ. It's amazing to see so many unique plants that can survive in such harsh heat! ☀️

Watercolor on cold-pressed paper.

Stipple mandala, with a combination of acrylic and alcohol inks. Very yonic. I have wanted to try this since I saw some of James Cawthorn's colored ink drawings. I can't decide which ink I prefer, though I may stick with acrylics simply because they're familiar. #ink #inkdrawing #mandala #stippling

Color pencil demos for class today. Used some soft pastels in the teacup. I love discovering which unexpected colors I can layer into them to create depth and vibrance. #colorpencil #drawing #stilllife #artteacher #artclass

My partner had to move to a desk without windows at his work, so I painted his old view in gouache. It now adorns his cubicle. I added the page on the right because our son needed to make sure we could see "Papa's bridge." #painting #gouache #landscape

Calligraphy practice using a broad pen nib and India ink. This is the first time I have enjoyed my attempts -- thanks to "Left Handed Calligraphy" (1991) by Vance Studley (great name btw), which is a helpful illustrated guide for everyone, even non-leftys. #calligraphy #handwriting #ink

Critters in Acrylic // art class demos. I've been getting faster with each one, breaking the process down into fewer steps. The chameleon was the most challenging, but the lovebirds are my favorite so far. #artclass #artteacher #painting #animals
