My version of that fabulous moment in the opening scene of Good Omens S2, painted with acrylics on an oval canvas. (The background red is just one of my bedroom walls.)

Non Good Omens art post: Varied Thrush; female Hooded Merganser (both acrylic); Marsh Wren (watercolor); Dodo (watercolor & ink). First three done using my own photo refs. How I wish I could say that for the last one! Sigh.

thank you so much!

Another colored pencil piece from the S1 dino park scene, doing my usual realism thing, because my ability to create original compositions is rather limited. Possibly there is too much green. Oh, well. So it goes! #goodomens

A piece I did shortly after S2 came out, from one of the promo pics. Colored pencil.

I knew it! I was Admissions staff, coordinating visit days! When I heard you were directing Good Omens 3 (huge fan), I kept telling friends I'd met you once, and how smart you were, and they had trouble believing I remembered but it WAS an unusual CV. Looking forward to the GO finale so much!

Did you ever visit Seattle's UW Biostat dept (mid-1990s?) to check out their grad program? I worked there and recall the grad program chair, Lloyd Fisher, renting "Tank Girl" to see what it was about before the visit. He seemed faintly confused by it, but said he enjoyed it a lot. He had good taste!

Zoomed in a bit on Aziraphale:

WIP no more: finished! Aziraphale waits for his apology dance. Colored pencil. 9" x 12", took around 12 hours or so. Will put a closer up view of Azi in the comments.

Agree with the high fiber thing -- it has changed my digestive health SO much for the better (but has to be added in SLOWLY to the diet!). Fingers crossed you are home soon!

Thank goodness for treatable conditions. Whew! I hope you can find new enjoyable treats to replace the ones you can no longer consume. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thanks -- just read the first two chapters and am enjoying it a lot!

Oh yes, it is, though it IS nice to do something beyond a simple portrait once in a while!

Alex "Mizmak" MacKenzie @mizmak.bsky.social · 20d

WIP, more background done today. Getting there!

Another one of my "this is not Good Omens" art posts. Four of my paintings: Javan Green Magpie (from a pic on Pinterest), marsh (no idea where the ref pic came from), street in France (from a friend's photo!), and my dog Truman who posed ever so nicely. Watercolor except Truman (acrylic).
