Somewhere, beneath a leaf,
a soft salamander waits to join
your most vital memories.
Somewhere, in autumn’s soil,
a mushroom will stand above ground
and remind you of the strange life below.
Somewhere, a person like us,
who has lost the knack of noticing
will need the magic only you can bring.

@daflibman.bsky.social just told me he's going to put explaining memes to me on his resume as community outreach.
That's just smart marketing.

Looking for scrap paper to put under a board I'm gesso-ing and came across another unfinished drawing. How embarrassing.
In my defense drawing coral is annoying.

People seem to understand that owning a 3D printer doesn’t make you a sculptor. I’m not sure why they struggle with the idea that having AI write for you doesn’t make you a writer.

Finally painting in the new apartment! I'm never going to not be mad at myself for wanting to draw birds. Why does the King of Owls have so many feathers.

One of my favorite things is when authors and screenwriters and artists reference a book or a song or a movie in their work.
I can't be the only one who immediately looks it up like they made that rec for me personally, right?

I can't tell if I'm just being a picky artist about this painting. It doesn't feel done yet, but I can't decide what to add. I could always add more detail?

No part of me wants to gatekeep writing. Please find some odd hours to write your novel. Please post scraps of poetry. If you want to do the work to help connect humanity, mind-to-mind, story-to-story, like the living webwork of mycelium beneath the leaflitter, I am so grateful for your efforts.

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

Good morning, Bluesky!
Did anyone see the new predator movie? Wow, how good. A wholesome tale about found family and teamwork and perseverance through adversity. 11/10.
Give me a break on our boy Dek. His face thingies are hard, okay?

Hi, Bluesky!
Sorry, I forgot you existed for a while. Moving from Florida to Oregon was a liiiiittle more difficult than I thought, but we're here!
Aaaaanyway, have some Oren Ishii. Flib is lucky I met him before Lucy Liu could fall in love with me because she would be my ride or die.

You can underpay an artist, but you cannot "overpay" an artist.
If their prices are "too high" for you, then they're not the right fit for your needs.
Simple as that.
