This month’s gravity well detritus: an impressive collection plus most of the coins were covered in a mysterious powdery white substance.
A photo of a collection of junk: bits of paper, colorful beads, assorted pieces of candy including a lifesavers, non-US and novelty coins, a broken pencil and half a pretzel.

Forgot my tattoos
The same drawing but with my tattoos added on my forearms. You can’t really tell in the drawing but the visible ones are: Ornifex, peonies, a star, a broken sword, a diamond and a flame.

Was inspired to do a silly self portrait, post shower pjs wet hair style
A little ink drawing of me, a fat white person with long dark hair. I’m holding a PlayStation controller and a cup of water that I’m throwing in the air for some reason. Around me are my cat, meds, a book, pens, butter cookies and nail polish.

On the donation box today: a plastic leaf, a Starbucks receipt and a 5 euro bill with an inexplicable note on it
A photo of my hand holding the above described items; the leaf is very bright green.

Jojo will usually just sit directly on whatever I’m working (including my Wacom if it’s laying flat) and also likes to micromanage my zine printing

Needs a little spice. Perhaps a pinch of paprika?
A little ink and marker drawing of paprika from the movie paprika. She’s shown from the hips up. She has a red v neck t shirt on and holds a can of coffee.

Apparently a regular visitor(s??? It’s hard to tell them apart)
A photo of a large possum rooting around a fallow garden, slightly washed out in late afternoon sun. Another photo of a possum in the garden, viewed from head on so you can see its cute little fox-face.
