It genuinely warms my heart at all the sharing-the-joy responses we got. I was getting very nervous & checking veterinarian hours. Y’all get how fragile kittens can be and I dearly appreciate that.
Ladies, gents, and corporeal souls I would like to announce that Mr. Persimmon Fig has finally pooped after around 36 hours. And feels loads better. His hydration has come way up and he’s being very much more active and kitten-ish. He’s not spicy despite finding him outside and is SO SWEET.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

I have once again dodged the Cat Distribution System (fourth time) by instead serving as one of its mighty hands.

I’ll foster Mr. Persimmon Fig over Thanksgiving but through the mysterious CDS chain a foster-to-adopt has been found. Named by his owner to be.

…now to trap the mom for a spay.
Little guy decided he likes that toasty chick brooder. I have it on a slant and have watched him easily move out from under it and back in again.

Not shown but I also didn’t know 3 week old kittens can loaf. Exactly like the adults. I’m gonna pop. Plz little dude have a mom still.

I worked in a museum studio and I was put on this earth to do that work. Tight government budgets meant "extras" like new exhibits or refurbs got cut first and much larger studios tended to get all the remaining work. So I went to college so they'd look at me. Those positions became ever more--

I am CONSIDERING starting over-ish in the new year by putting all my remaining pewter and unsold old art into blind bags of sorts just to get them out of here into new homes.

Then new carvings/castings and new art for sale.

"The only thing that matters in our new economy is monetized attention. This is a problem if you’re an artist who needs time to think about things."

Yes.
In a post completely free of self-pity, Cathy Malkasian says she’s leaving comics because of poor sales. This is something I can certainly relate to. In Cathy’s case, it kills me that someone this good can’t find an audience. I wish the world was a better place.

My truck is borked again. Almost a quarter century old. Smell gas under it & it’s misfiring/rumbling. Also hear a bonk/bang noise underneath when I accelerate hard especially uphill.

I am so tired. All I can think of now besides going to the mechanic is to write out everything—

I have been extracting myself from the internet to get some disability-related resets done and I don't really want to come back. Not like in a "and Palaeo disappeared in 2025" kind of way but more like "The computer is for friends, art, sometimes games; I don't want to scroll or keep up or look for-

I’m afraid if I name the next dog Bombadil that I’d end up calling him Boomer because “Tom” and “Tommy” makes my skeleton try to escape.

This is probably the largest art I've made in a long time; it's 16x48 inches at 300dpi. All of the animals are inspired by petroglyphs and cave art from around the world on top of the shapes found within the animals themselves. #art #caveart #petroglyph #deer #wolves #ravens #raven #wolf #elk

Please excuse the egregious watermarking; tattoo designs are among the most commonly stolen art and the pngs end up far afield. #art #tattoo #unicorn

This was a private commission for a unicorn tattoo done somewhere between my cave art styles and my Scythian inspired work.

This was intended to be an entirely different style but I got to looking at it and realized how neatly my petroglyph style fit inside the lines I was working on. I think this is the most G-rated blood I've made. #art #petroglyph #tigers #blood #tiger #rockart

"King of Meadows" - Prospective printmaking design. I'm not sure how large this would need to be nor if I'd need to do woodcut or linocut. Or if it'd be better off being screenprinted.

But...whatever I decide in the far flung future here's the art for it. #art #printmaking #megaloceros #pleistocene

A collection of animal petroglyphs; these are presently available as merch on my Redbubble. It’s possible I may use these designs for block printing in the future. These won't be the only ones; I've got a very large animal kingdom to cover. #art #petroglyph #glyph #animalart #caveart #neocaveart

Did a whole pile of glyph commissions at one point and I still really like several of them. I think the pine marten is still on someone's sailboat and the margay ended up on a friend's BRZ. #art #animalart

I've seen the Paranthropus robustus (AKA Australopithecus robustus) fossil SK-54 going around lately which reminds me of this art inspired by it. A leopard's canines perfectly match two skull punctures on the back of the fossil skull. #fossil #paleoart #leopard #australopithecus #paranthropus #art
