13. Common wasp AKA Jasper

Back to pencil & watercolour, this a good stripey girl who cleans up the dead fruit around neighbourhood. Wasps should be appreciated for their services. Just no pet, no boop, ok? Ok.

If you didn't know, between Steam's cut, taxes, and company profit splits, I get maybe 25 cents per unit sold of Eldritch at this price. And that's fine, it's a game I made in another lifetime, I'm just happy if anyone is still enjoying it in the year of our Lord 2025. But yeah. Games is hard.

"Rooms" Crete October '21

I hope the colour edit expresses an emotional tone:
Holiday happiness, like the indistinct memory of visit to the beach. The original was a bit muddy...

Juggling the channels once more but all from the same photo for a change

This for #ArtAdventCalendar day18

Day 18 of #ArtAdventCalendar - adventures in watercolour.
My first proper attempt inspired by the amazing, larger-than-life botanical paintings of British artist Rosie Sanders. If you don't know her work, do look it up. Stunning!

Day 18 #artadventcalendar

This photo was take middle of the night on a ski trip to Sarikamiș, Turkey. It had snowed heavily, moons shining so brightly the pine trees silhouetted on the snow. Wolves howling had woken me. Winter memories, this one special.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I researched depictions of unicorns in heraldry for this and there is some hilarious stuff. Mine is definitely related to the coat of arms of the municipality Opfenbach in Bavaria. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opfenbach

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 18. I've been showing pieces that play with light for this tag. This bracelet doesn't play with the light, it throws it around. Hematite cubes with a mirror shine, and honestly the shiniest chunky pink glass beads I've ever seen. An antidote to the grey, dark, days.
