Hi, I’m Parker. I make art and sometimes I organize things. The Ballard Bubbler is the name I use when I create or do meetups. The name combines my neighborhood in Seattle and the regionally specific jargon for a water fountain (it’s a bubbler) from my Wisconsin origins.

Boo this kind of crap. Let me sit places, I get tired.

That’s super gross. Ai art is bad, ai art imitating an important person in history who likely would never want to be used in such a way is grosser.

Two nights of big wins for ethical baseball. My hometown and my current town both advance.

Go Brewers!

Everyone celebrating for him is hype. Maybe, just maybe, Green can get his first NBA dunk this year.

Now that sounds better, Lonzo is learning to appreciate his new town and its water.

Coulda been chill if you were drawing Demeter 🥸

The Ballard Bubbler @parkerbs.bsky.social · 15h

That’s cool. They had his show on at the bar one night recently and it was such a great chill thing to watch. Plus the show credits said he’d been donating all his paintings from the shows for years. So this likely keeps up with what he always did.

I like your choices with the light here. Good work

The Ballard Bubbler @parkerbs.bsky.social · 1d

This was so good. I was walking my dog listening to this and just started laughing out loud.

The Ballard Bubbler @parkerbs.bsky.social · 1d

That’s a very good jar. I know this is like a half silly art post but the jar is good.

The Ballard Bubbler @parkerbs.bsky.social · 1d

I knew it was a great ride but until you did the coloring here I didn’t realize that tongue was out against the glass. Great attention to detail 9 stars

Inspired by @heavymetalofficial.bsky.social "LOC-TOBER", specifically the prompt "Space Pirate Queen", we first did a sketch and then turned it into a full illustration.

There you go, our space pirate queen and her loyal crew member! Rise above the stars!

#hmloctober #hmloctober2025

Astronaut girl wearing a pirate hat and riding a rocket just the size of her, with a small window from which another crew member is looking and waving the tongue sorta between her legs. As background, there are stars and a full moon.

It’s a good word. Fun to say. Has that little extra juice you want out of an old timey insult
