I may have spent an unreasonable amount of time detailing my cat's cute widdle face on the back of an artist proof just now.
No regrets.

Bajadasaur in caliche forest. A4. Piece for the upcoming artbook. This started out as Amargasaurus on a saltflat, but researching saltflats, I stumbled across caliche forests and thought they looked really cool. And looking at sail-necked sauropods, I remembered Bajadasaurus. Original available.

It's so beautiful!! I absolutely adore these sorts of carefully detailed illustrations of nature. Can't pick a favorite part here (though the pinecone *is* a very strong contender), it's all so good!

Thank you! The art brief noted that it would be neat to have some subtly draconic forms in the fire, so it got to be spiky. I was this close to seriously considering sky millipedes as a motif. 😁

It's been far too hot to think, so for a weekend project I dug out some sutage cord that's probably about as old as I am, found a fallen branch and macraméed an earring storage solution. For such a simple thing it's really handy, can recommend!

Inside and out! No AC for me, so my room's been a hair over 31C for most of the past couple of days. Today it's thankfully at a refreshing 28C!

A super cool sighting from last night - noctilucent clouds. They had a slight glow to them, catching the rays of the sun hiding just below the horizon. With a sky like this, it's like we're living in a giant fishbowl!

A little late for the summer solstice, but life is very hectic right now^^ An older piece I still have a big soft spot for hypericum perforatum - (St. John's wort) also known as the "solstice herb" since it blooms around the time of the summer solstice.
