For anyone who liked my little Pride banner designs, they're up in my shop as stickers, with a few other designs and a smattering of other things!

A photo of a series of stickers laid out on a green cutting mat. The stickers include two fantasy/medieval styled Progress Pride designs (one a hanging banner one a waving flag), a golden fist clutching artists tools, a black and white hand with great nails holding a brush, and a unicorn-knight.

Getting closer to the end of #Nudivember! This one was fun to paint and it might be one of my favorites so far.

"Bowman Bay" sits on the North side of Deception Pass state park in Washington State. As I walked up the beach, a white heron stood in the waves before flying away. I loved the green of the water in this area.

Sometimes a goat is just a goat.
And sometimes a goat eats a wizard's spell book, grows 8 feet tall, and decides he's coming on your journey with you...

"Lilith in the Valley of a Thousand Sculptures" — detail.

A closer look at the gesture.
See the full image in the previous post.
[ENGLISH ALT-TEXT] A surreal artwork in warm sepia and gold tones. A masked woman, Lilith, kneels on a wooden scaffold and carves a marble wall covered with the relief of a tree heavy with fruit. A golden serpent winds around her, its sinuous body catching the light. Below, the fragmented head of a colossal statue lies half-buried in stone. Thin lines of gold run through the composition like veins of memory, linking Lilith’s gesture, the serpent, and the fallen face. The atmosphere is quiet, sacred, and timeless. [FRANÇAIS TEXTE ALTERNATIF] Une œuvre onirique aux teintes sépia et dorées. Une femme masquée, Lilith, agenouillée sur un échafaudage de bois, sculpte dans le marbre la façade d’un arbre chargé de fruits. Autour d’elle, le Serpent d’Or s’enroule, son corps lumineux suivant le mouvement de la main qui taille. En dessous repose la tête brisée d’une statue colossale. De fines lignes d’or traversent la scène, reliant le geste de Lilith, le serpent et le visage effondré. L’atmosphère est silencieuse, sacrée, hors du temps.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”
- George Eliot

"An Autumn Eve" by Elisabeth Alba, now available on Every Day Original at everydayoriginal.com/product/an-a...
Illustration created with sepia ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache featuring a raven about to land on the branch of a corkscrew willow tree at night. There is a full moon behind the branches, and a band of magical sparkles flowing around the bird.

An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower a red squirrel knight, with body armor and a cape, holding a lance in one hand and standing on its hind legs, with a golden halo aroung its upper torso and head. the beast (from beauty and the beast), appearing in the middle of a dense rose-bush foliage, gently holding a tiny bird in its huge paws and looking at it with tenderness. the castle tower can be seen in the distance. toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

A new seamless repeat - Star Crinoids.

These fossils can be found worldwide, especially in areas where there is limestone and shale. And in the UK, they are sometimes called fairy coins. 🧚
