A photo of Odera holding a kpokokpoko, a rattle used for rituals and herbalist and sacred ceremonies. They wear a half worn body suit reminiscent of stars. And there are washes of nzu and ink dotting the surface like constellations. Odera's backside in a leopard cheetah print bodysuit with tiny jewels reminiscent of stars. Scattered across the picture plane are washes on nzu and ink drawings. A photo of Odera holding and harnessing. They wear a half worn body suit reminiscent of stars. And there are washes of nzu and ink dotting the surface like constellations. A photo of Odera holding a kpokokpoko, a rattle used for rituals and herbalist and sacred ceremonies. They wear a body suit reminiscent of stars and leopard-cheetah print. There are washes of nzu and ink dotting the surface like constellations. Ink and nzu dance across the surface of the arms, torso, penis, fingertips, and legs. These forms dance with and across the cylindrical volumes, becoming both embellishments and spells.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.

Be warned.

traumatized because right as i hit post on my newest pieces, my tamagotchi paradise lit up and meteorites started raining down on the planet and I had to protect my tama with boxing gloves.

fun when I opt in & choose it as a minigame.
terrifying when it randomly happens and can INJURE your tama.

I want to be a Cinderella with a rat army. I want to be a Nanimon with a giant alluring bulge but an absolutely beautifully constructed grotesque bomb shaped head. I definitely want to be the cxntiest PlatinumNumemon with massive eyelashes and the gooniest tonguedown

If i had the costume construction skills, i would absolutely be a disgusting & beautiful digimon evolution line for halloween and change costumes multiple times throughout the day.

I want to go from Nanimon to PlatinumNumemon and then somehow make my way to an Angewomon or Cendrillmon

Mami Wata (from Dance of the Summoner)

You twist and coil in and out of sleep

Your dreams pulse with the crashing waves

You are the siren, the alarm of the waters

Acrylic on watercolor paper. 11" x 14". 2017.
A brown skin iridescent non-binary figure is coiled in a fetal position. they shimer with flickers of hot pink, magenta, coral, emerald, and blues. The are entangled and enshrouded in snake like coils, as they float in a dreamscape of ocean waters.

I'm just going to link the whole show, because we would be here all day with all the comic and anime references. I wonder if this is carrying over to other houses. A desire for the superhero leaking through fashion? www.youtube.com/watch?v=J90w...

Nineties comic books were crazy, because folks would really be out in the street beating people's asses dressed like this. Tell me that Black Canary wouldn't have rolled out in something like that--with fishnets, of course.
