Common plant life of the Under (select examples):

Bristlewood

Thin, sharp stalks that grow in dense patches. Ranging 1-2 meters in height, oftentimes bristlewood will block entire passages with structures akin to baleen. It's rigid and at the same time flexible enough not to snap easily, so quite a nuisance to get through - but just below the base it is easy enough to break off.

Hollow horns

Dry strips of bark curled in the shape of branches, hollow on the inside. Grows in quick bursts (up to 20 cm in an hour) when the flesh fills up the hollows and pulses through the cracks. Easy to harvest firewood, though it smells like burning hair - but, to be fair, all Under "trees" are like that. You can always boil the bark and eat the resulting "stock". Or, alternatively, if you wait for the growth spurt and chop off a branch before the flesh retreats, you might get a piece of soft, chewy meat.

Bark carpet

Grows on the floor, walls and ceilings alike. Rough and scraggly, it's very hard to get it off the surface it's attached to. The thick bark might make decently nutritious stock, but getting it will likely require at least a wedge and a good lever. And, as with other trees, the dense network of sarcolaries constricts once damaged, so prying off the next chunks might be even harder. Many consider bark carpets to be better footholds than sources of food purely because of how much time (and dangerous noise) it takes to harvest even a little.

Flesh Roses

A tree that blooms exposed living meat. Thick deep-red "petals" held together by strands of fat and folded onto one another in a ball slightly larger than a fist. As soon as the translucent membrane covering unripe fruit recedes, the odor is quite potent - be aware that not only you will be drawn to it.

Lantern roots

Exclusive to the Upper Reaches, they burrow through the rock from above. Thick enough to at times be larger than a tree, and dense enough to at times create entire forests. The black tar within is highly combustible. The ground down lantern roots make for a very good fuel, comparable in quality to graveoil, and "branches" on their own are as good a timber as one could possibly get.

Bladder vine

Characterized mainly by the large (up to 30-50 cm in diameter) translucent sacks of dark liquid that grow either on dry stalks descending from the ceiling, or exceedingly thin, sparse vines on the walls. Despite looking rather fragile, the membrane is actually quite thick. The "nectar" of the bladder vine can be used for sustenance. The bigger the blob, the more watery is its content, with tiny unripe ones being utterly indigestible and oily enough to use as fuel after boiling off a little moisture, and the bigger ones having a texture like that of milk.

Prunus Avium

Cherry trees adapted to the conditions at the Farms. As long as the sunlamps and water pumps remain powered, they fare well even in the more run-down facilities. Each Farm is a tiny dense jungle of branches and bushes tangled around rocks and metal, fighting for the light of their shared little sun.

Web roots

Pale and thin webs of tiny roots. Erode the rock at an unpredictable pace, sometimes obstruct the resulting cavities, and are of no further note. Sometimes form tentatively edible (when boiled) buds, which might be worth looking for if you see gravel or patches of rough sand.

...

Fungi and lichens, microbial superstructures and wormlife of the Under are not mentioned, because although similar in a few practical aspects, they are distinct and varied enough to warrant their own categories each.

Procreate videos

I have iThings and also Procreate and Procreate Dreams but never (barring the pair of love-struck eyes I found in one of the places iThings hide things) made an animation before. Welcome to the Grand Premiere then of [drum roll] Wormlife! Made in Procrete Dreams on a 2018 12″ iPad using an Apple pen. This on the other hand, while masquerading under today’s date, was made some time ago. It may…

wormlife spraypaint and oil an canvas 145x108cm 2018 . not sure if it’s finished yet - might add some color in the top corners... . this is the only bigger canvas i painted in 2018. i started it right when i first moved into my tiny studio and then had it hanging there for months, not quite knowing what to do with it. finally finished it before christmas. it felt liberating - a breakthrough : ) breaking the trap i found myself in. and it shall mark a turning point - many more big canvases to come : ) . for the last 5 years i've worked with refugee youth and families as a social worker, teacher, educator and art therapist. while i loved working with the kids, and i dare say did a pretty good job, working with the families but more so with the flawed structures in the system became more and more frustrating. i’ve been having severe migraines on an average 3-4 days a week for years. recently it’s been getting even worse. those of you who know migraine know. to everybody else it’s hard to describe. feels like being tortured for no obvious reason. it kills your ambition, messes up your social life, sucks all energy out of you -  it crushes your soul… it can basically turn everything into shit and pain. you get up and start again. you get crushed again. and again. over time all this resulted in a bad burnout. i started to hate everything and everyone around me. inclcuding myself. i was constantly surrounded with people who had suffered beyond the imaginable - but i could not bear listening to other peoples problems anymore. my wife and kids began to suffer from the situation. i simply could not go on. so with the turning of the year i decided to leave my job (except for teaching a printing class once a week) to take time out for art and healing for a couple months. this is a big deal to me and it scares the shit out of me; i feel childish, foolish, naked and vulnerable.. this is my truth. it wants out. it needs out. maybe that will ease the pain. no more living for other people. it's time to live for myself and my art. maybe i've done my share for now. . so, welcome to the the ride! let’s make 2019 an awesome year!! love everybody! thanks for your support!! yrs rave
