I did 3 sketches last night and another this morning in an attempt to catch up. Here is #Inktober prompt #portal. A #dragon finds a gateway made of twisted branches leading to another world. Had I not already had a dragon in a library, that would’ve been my portal, heh.

“Well hi there! THIS is a mottled Amazonian wyvern— but is it the best pet reptile for you?”
#Inktober prompt 9, #fanart. In this case of Clint from #Clintsreptiles with a #dragon because I still have my own monthly challenge rules to fulfill. Enjoy!

#Ko-fi update on #inktober and #artivism progress. I spent most of today working on a protest-themed scavenger hunt #zine for #NoKings2.

Holy crap that took longer than I meant it to. Woops! #Inktober “Bloom.” I referenced a fall bouquet of #chrysanthemums, a #fireskink, and #echeveria blooms for the horns. Pretty happy with it! #dragon #art

#Inktober prompt #paper. Just a lil’ #dragon doing some research. I’m behind by 2 right now, and halfway through inking “Bloom,” so keep an eye out for that later!

Fell behind a little bit. Prepping a yard sale will do that. #Inktober, day 3: #jungle. The #dragon is basically a #leopardgecko with wings during shed. Now to move on to prompt 4!

The sort of people the administration calls 'terrorists' :

"[the 84 year olds] were rushed by federal officers “for no apparent reason.” She said her husband was leaning on his walker and wearing his Vietnam veterans cap as he was pushed to the ground."

#inktober 2025, day 2: #forbidden. Since I missed #smaugust (cuz I seem to always miss Smaugust), I rolled the #dragon theme into #sketchtember. Then I basically forgot to post most of #sketchtember, so that’s all getting developed more this. Drew inspiration from diving “turn back” signs. Enjoy!

ArtbyLGonzalez @apricklyproduction.bsky.social · 12d

I generally start #inktober strong and fall off as it goes. I did several thumbnails during #sketchtember in an attempt to help me keep things up. I also missed #smaugust, so I’m rolling all three into one this month. Here’s the 1st one: #terrarium

Erik Siebert, the federal prosecutor whom President Donald Trump pushed out Friday for declining to prosecute his political enemies, listed as an attorney on 675 federal cases.

His replacement, Lindsey Halligan, who's Trump's former lawyer, has worked on only three.

Republicans are acting this way because they fully expect Democrats to roll over and hand Trump the blank check he’s demanding.

Urge your Democratic senators to hold the line and vote against any GOP bill that locks in healthcare cuts or lets Trump go unchecked: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Senator Heinrich on Bluesky: “Democrats: Please give the American people health care.

Trump: Go fuck yourself.”

I took a break from activism to sew new pen-holders and draft a pattern. It involved more math than I normally do, but I'm happy with how they turned out. Check out the post on: ko-fi.com/post/Pattern.... #progress #ko-fi #sewing #crafting #pattern
