hello! I adore your piece of the Canaan house group in a modern setting and was wondering if it was ok to get a tattoo inspired by Gideons? (I completely understand if not and won't be upset at all if you say no <3 the only real similarities would be the fencing wrapped around the bicep dndn)

have a lovely day <3

this is so rad!! Absolutely go for it if you want to, i feel like the idea is pretty general anyway so there’s no way I could really hold a claim on it loll

But thank you so much for liking the piece and checking anyway!

The Australian Ballet is doing Alice in Wonderland again and on one hand I’ve seen it before, and on the other, their Queen of Hearts has my favourite costume in anything every

being an artist and revisiting media you liked when you were 11 is like. oh ok. this shaped my sense of humor and the way I write characters and the way I pace narratives and the tropes I'm drawn to. and I vastly underestimated how much of an impact it had on me because I literally have not thought about it for 15 years. but it was there inside me the whole time. ok. ok cool! c ool

I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr??  

I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.

For the person who wanted to see the diorama, here you go! From its ugly hot glue conception to painted form to being in the dark in my tub

Piranesi concept art!

I hadn’t seen anyone really tackle the drowned halls yet (as far as I know) so I thought I’d take a crack at it to practice painting environments

End After the End, my wlw apocalyptic risograph zine I put together for a class final, now scanned and PDF-ed and READY TO VIEW!!

Tumblr may murder the quality of these images, but it can't murder the link to my Ko-fi where you are now able to collect the far better quality 16 page pdf.... an offer most tempting

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

What if we were childhood best friends and we couldn’t figure out the nature of our feelings towards each other? And then we got into a volatile and dangerous form of witchcraft that made us slowly go insane?
