I'm rereading the comic Weavers by Simon Spurrier, and I laughed at this #wordplay.

That time I read the #Labyrinth comic.
I need to read the latest Labyrinth comic series since then.

I was looking up scientific illustration styles when my partner texted me a clip of the computer game he was playing (It's a screenshot here). Samorost 3 was appropriate for the moment! I love the illustrated look and must play the game sometime!

@trungles.com , I liked the same animation of The Snow Queen too! I recommend watching Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night if you haven't seen it yet! I figured you've seen the 1990 animated The Nutcracker.

I'm reading Animal Pound by @tomking.bsky.social , a modern tale on Animal Farm. Felt a chill for "If everyone must be heard, then no one is heard."

I'm gonna finish this month's Bird Whisperer tomorrow. In the meantime, here are the designs I had to redraw at two intervals during today's assessment. It was for autism, ADHD, cognitive, intellect, and memory.

I do colors outside for better lighting, and the mosquitoes love when I do too!

And now I've drawn Mr. Terrific as my magnum opus! 😁I used pencil, pen, crayon (highlights), watercolor brush pens, and color pencils on multi media paper. The whole shebang for Mr. Terrific!

Here's my book cover redesign for Crossings again. Originally, I didn't want to overdo it, but the design did need something more. So I did thin ripple lines, and I'm happier with it having more water flow! :)

I finished my second book cover redesign. The novel Crossings by Alex Landragin is historical fiction with magical realism. The trickiest part of the redesign was working in a limited color palette of web safe CMYK.

Somehow my #PennyPoppins costume came up in therapy today. Then I admitted that Pennywise was my Barney cuz I watched It multiple times before I even started school. After her shock, my therapist asked what else I watched around that time.
"Puff 'n' Stuff."

I discovered the Nee Doh squishy cubes! The big one is for home and bigger stress moments. The little ice cube size is perfect for travel! The little one helped at Costco. I had overstimulation there last time

Reading more French setting books as I wait for the Benedryl effects to leave. Third time reading this comic, so I should try another one from Penelope Bagieu.
