Artist, weirdo, cat person. Graphics wonk

I repost almost all OC that comes across my feed. I try to avoid human-free graphics.

Yesterday was the first time this year I got into the field with my camera. Still need to fix the white balance but....

Who doesn't love frost-dusted hazel catkins against a cold January sky?

For We've Always Been Here, Sadfarts ( @sadfarts.bsky.social ) will be painting a lesbian couple in ancient Mesoamerica, swimming in a lake together.

A digital illustration of two women of color dancing together in several poses, with a small cupid figure shooting a heart-shaped arrow at them. There's a glittering cityscape behind them with the sky and clouds in pink, purple, and dark blue tones. At the top is a small box that says "Page artist" and at the bottom is a colorful banner that says "We've Always Been Here."

Good Morning! Sharing my photo from last summer while I was in #Greenland for the art challenge #BlueSkyArtShow theme: #cold.

Look closely and you will see our cohorts & naturalists in the zodiac. We were still listening for the sound of the huge calving icebergs.

The root of hag come from the German hagzussa and Old English hægtesse – hedge-sitter. For those old boundaries of the land, whether tangled threshold of hawthorn or stacked stone, were magical thresholds. Sitting atop them, the witch could see beyond into the Otherworld. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981

Crisp, flaky scallion pancakes with layers that pull and chew just right. The chili oil’s got depth and heat: star anise, ginger, and soy riding shotgun. Street food soul with a pan-fried finish that earns its place. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #Recipe

Color photograph. A long haired gray, tan and black tabby lays in a tan colored cat bed, floofy tail wrapped around herself. She looks to be squinting at you and maybe not trustful.

A goat creature with three horns, one eye, and a forked tongue hanging out. It has a ceremonial looking single bladed axe between its front hooves. The beast is wrapped in a banner going around three times. What emerges below the banner is just a mass of tentacles. The banner reads, ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’
