I am participating in #inktober with a theme of robots! I'll be following the official prompt list. Something different, something fun. Let's go!

Did I figure out a fun theme for #inktober and hyper-focus all weekend... finishing 19 prompts? Yes I did. Was it nice to do that instead of scrolling? Yes it was. Are you doing inktober?

Painting instead of scrolling

2 watercolor paintings of leafless trees with colorful night skies behind them. One tree features a spiderweb among the branches.

Also, if you want one, i have a feeling my patreon mail club may be receiving mini art sometime in the future... may be this or another design...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Sometimes you clean your office and find half finished art. And then you finish it.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
