Went on a tour of the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale! I had to sketch quickly because we kept moving! #usk #urbansketching #conservation

I #embroidered a plain canvas bag to make an #rpg kit for my PC Ned/Cosmo, a well meaning but generally incompetent druid that's obsessed with the meteor in #dungeonsofdrakkenheim. I made the #ogham staves back in the day, and it's super fun to use them in role play!

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.
When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

My last #cosplay for the weekend! I just love being #GideontheNinth. Ran into another Gideon that gave me a bracelet (with curse words of course 😂). It was so sweet! (Alas, I also lost my skull somewhere on the convention floor! 😭)

Timed #sketches at #PhoenixFanFusion! They had a fun event where cosplayers modeled and anybody could come and sketch them with timed intervals. #cosplay #watercolor

Don’t forget you can just go draw a bug whenever you want.
When the world gets too weird you can just go outside and look at bugs.

Look at these amazing illustrations from @hemask.bsky.social! A most amazing artist at Phoenix Fan Fusion! I just kept picking up thing after thing (not in the photo is the pencil bag and Raven trinket pin!).

Phoenix Fan Fusion fun as Tippi Hedren from The Birds. Absolutely shocked how many people recognized me and came up to talk to me about the movie. Even young folks - gives me hope that the next gens are watching great movies

Even though there are no pets in this sketch, I see them. I see Jackie on her little footstool looking out the window, and Bowie waiting for me to grab his leash for a walk. #urbansketching #watercolor #sketch #pets

Please enjoy this ridiculously cute butterfly, which was about the size of my pinkie fingernail. It's in the butterfly family called metalmarks (Riodinidae). Males, like these, have reduced front legs and perch using only the rear 4 (females can use all 6). Sarota acantus; Costa Rica 🐙🌿 #insects

Another #boardgame day! This time #Ethnos was my fave, but I really liked the sounds and tactile feels of Seaside.

Star Trek is this weird space-themed workplace drama where no one is allowed to have coffee or a water bottle. (Picard gets tea because he has a private office.) Everyone else is presumably dehydrated all the time, which works out because they have to take an elevator to find the nearest bathroom

OMG everything IS tuberculosis! This is a must read for everyone. It's good for your brain, it's good for your heart, and it's just so, so good.

It's so weird to have a new #watercolor set! I don't know these colors! I don't know their personalities or quirks! Painting with them is like going on a first date or something. (But way more fun than that!)
