I don’t know about you, but when I’m working on handmade Christmas gifts I have “Makin’ Christmas” (from The Nightmare Before Christmas) stuck in my head on repeat.

I loved this game. My parents didn’t (and still don’t) understand why I would want to play a game, but they did understand that I loved Robin Hood in all his media forms. It’s also the first game I finished multiple times (again, my parents, “why would you need more than one video game?”) From 1991.

Another work in progress for upcoming cons, a guide to medieval headwear with my cat. It will be a risograph, though I’m unsure what colours yet.

I’m crocheting today & threw on The Adventures of Robin Hood (the 1938 Errol Flynn/Olivia de Havilland movie). It occurred to me that I would have loved to show it to my costuming students to ask them what it got wrong and what it got right. I think it would have led to a great project/conversation!

randomly remembered art student owl (and these types of memes generally).. and this feels like not only from like a whole different era of the internet (it *was* 15 years ago) but from a whole different era of humanity altogether

Me 10 minutes ago: Hmmm… what should I do today? Draw? Paint? Maybe write?

Me right now: my plans have changed

I feel like I am on the verge of doing things. But I am practically paralyzed by doubts and a real can’t-do attitude. But I’m getting some pretty strong signs from the universe that I have to get moving, so, off I go I guess?

Growth and Decay

I saw a sapling growing from the stumps of a decaying tree while walking my huskies and imagined the ghost of the dead tree watching over its successor.

Architecture studies: Watercolours first, ink lines second... which turns out to be a great way to go from large shapes to details for my brain.

Reptile. Gouache on paper, 3rd one for #septempera.

Started as a lizard, morphed into a dragon.
With a fancy hat, of course.

Artists, show how you draw flowers! 💐💐💐

I love drawing and painting flowers, but apparently I consistently do not keep pictures of my work handy.

Great: I’m baking a high protein pumpkin oat breakfast!

Less great: ooooof I was not physically prepared for anything close to baking at 9 pm.

Great: the kitchen is clean! Baking dishes done!

Less great: double ooooof. Ooooof squared if you will.

Christmas time is just around the corner when you are making handmade gifts. I just finished using ball 1 of 5 of the cream! Eventually this will be a blanket!

Moneris, the Canadian system used to process 5 billion of transactions annually for 325,000 points of sale, is being sold by the owners (RBC and BMO) to a US private equity firm.

I don't think this protects Canadian digital sovereignty. I signed a petition for Ottawa to intervene, and you can too.
