In the morning, Archer is the first one out, lying in the grass, watching how the city awakes, and that kite in the distance. Denali shows up a bit later, racing the wind with the string in his paw. By sunset, it’s Archer again, this time heading back, backpack slung over his shoulder, and as night arrives, Denali takes a moment to rest, still smiling, enjoying the city lights and how quietly the world sleeps. Tiny visitors that come and go with the changing light; little reminders that time moves, but life stays curious.

President’s first few months in office have left fears about the US’ global role at an ‘all time high’ and rivalling China, Israel and North KoreaKate Devlin (The Independent)
now is that a threat they like or not? Lol
Whatever it is they better wake up and not make the same mistake yourselves.
I have doubts this will really happen...but it sounds kind of amazing...

Because it’s rare to see #retrofit / #sustainability jokes…and I like xkcd:
Alt Text: ‘A covertly-installed Neighbour-Source Heat Pump takes advantage of the fact your neighbour keeps their house cool in the summer and warm in the winter’. Image of two houses, one with a heat pump and then pipes underground leading to the other, extending up the walls in a loop system.
Just a red panda chillin’. Red pandas really do love a good ice cube, zoos often give them giant blocks to help them cool off and stay playful on hot days. So of course this little guy made himself comfortable.
Drawn with crayons over a Denny’s paper tablecloth, again!
This piece will be part of my biggest exhibition yet at the Anthrocon Art Show.

A red panda this time.
I don’t even know what he’s looking at, perhaps someone who is giving apples away but not to him, but I liked painting him just like that.
This is part of the same quiet rhythm I’ve been in lately. Simple paintings, small format, brush in hand, no rush.
I think I needed to go back to that. Not to chase meaning, not to impress anyone, just to enjoy it again, to let myself feel okay with doing something for the sake of doing it.
Painted with acrylics over a tan toned sheet, made to fit an old frame I had already.
This one will also be shown at the Anthrocon Art Show.

I want to keep doing art pieces that comes from me, I have a lot of ideas, a lot of projects and comics but I can't do them all real because I need to combine them with commissions, and in the end of the month I need to prioritize the commissions more than anything. I want to change that and keep a good balance. If you want to help me to make that dream come true, you can do it at supporting me on Patreon or Ko-Fi, and you'll receive exclusive content, you will see my WIPs, drawings and paintings before anyone else, high resolutions and full process videos.

As we're only a few hours away from the summer solstice, have some photos from the 2007 solstice (exactly 18 years ago, yikes) when I went, with a couple of friends, to fursuit at Stonehenge for the summer solstice. (The girl in pink with us in several of the photos was not anyone I knew — she just… adopted us as her furry solstice friends or something!)
I want to go back someday, assuming they're still doing the solstice night/morning open event.

"Tolkien's Gun" - An object within a work of fiction which is described in exhaustive detail but which is ultimately of little significance to the plot.
Usage: "Oh, I guess that candlestick was a bit of a Tolkien's Gun."
There are few things more wholesome and sweet than being there for a friend during one their first times fursuiting.

‘A recent study estimated that 80% of UK homes overheat in the summer.’
A throwaway line in this piece warning us of the dangers posed by 32C heat this weekend in the UK and the fact it’s been directly caused by burning #FossilFuels.
But seriously, our homes are where we retreat in this heat…but there is no escape when they are so poorly insulted, ventilated and shaded from the sun.

Part of an art trade with the amazing Mudkipper, during an art jam at FWA, taking his color markers because I hadn't brought my own.
His characters are so cute, aaah!!
"I worry about the prince," the king said.
"What is the issue?" said the witch.
"We held balls with all eligible ladies, but he found none. So we held tourneys, with all eligible knights. Still none."
"There are those who seek none."
"So none can turn his head?"
"Perhaps. Ask him."
"Amazing!"

I wrote this after recalling ace friends rolling their eyes at how some "gay accepting" people are unaware of or even denying the existence of ace/aro people.
I have had basically this conversation with most of the people I consider close to me over the past few months…we all agree with Snoopy regardless of age and previous political persuasion…

This cartoon obviously struck a chord with me, despite its dubious creation.
I am stunned at how it spoke to so many others here.
A raccoon peeking out from a tree.
A little painting like this is the most honest thing I can do. Not for anyone else, not even for an audience, just for the part of me that still needs to say “this is how I see the world.”
Creating used to be play. Then it became survival. Now, I’m still figuring out what it is, but I know I still need it. To breathe. To speak. To be.
This was done during an art jam with friends at a coffee shop.
Traditional. Acrylics.
This piece will be exhibited at the Anthrocon's Art Show.
I had previously bought a frame at IKEA, just to see what I could make fit in it, so I painted this exactly to size.
Well... that was a big order!
Good thing Marauder was around to help the waiter raccoon.
Continuation of the piece "That's a Big Order!", that was originally in crayons over a Denny's tablecloth.
This pic is for Marauder, color pencils over mix media paper.
