I don't think I posted this here. Watercolor on Arches paper for a zine on death and decay

In my novel setting, dragons are living geographical features, sort-of deities, and conduits for magic, anchoring the spirit world to the material. This is not from those stories, but maybe it should be…

Watercolor painting of a huge dragon skeleton still perched in vigil above the ruins of a crumbling temple carved into a stone cliff, deep in a forest. A staircase corridor winds up and around the cliff, and plant life and old dead vines creep across the facade. Glowing magic lights still hover along the path and in the tumbled stone ruins below. The colors of the painting fade from bright yellow in the sky, down through bright greens and blues to purple at the bottom.

Sunset on the beach: a single driftwood tree lies on its side in the powdery soft, white sand, pointing towards the deep orange and blue hues at the horizon, as the sun begins to slip behind the clouds and ocean waves.

The train comes faster the less you expect it.
Photo by Alexandre Moreira - A solitary figure stands on a quiet train platform, gazing down empty tracks. The scene is framed by a sweeping, curved glass and metal roof, casting geometric patterns of light and shadow. A large clock hangs overhead, showing 3:37, marking the stillness of time in the deserted station. The air feels calm and timeless, evoking a sense of waiting and solitude.

The Pallas Cat Seer of Truths says, "No, it isn't Friday yet, sorry."
A huge fluff of a Pallas cat sits amid their grassy throne as if sprawled among cushions in the most exotic, smoke-filled tent in this magical bazaar, dispensing wisdoms deeper even than her fur. Paws tucked in, huge tail wrapped around her, a face caught in a thoughtful expression matching the visions in her mind; somebody, somewhere, is opening a tin of what they call Too Nar. You can recreate this at home by having your tabby cat knock the spider plant from the shelf and then sit in the wreckage.

Here I am going around as though there aren't wonders in the world and then I step outside and there's this thing right in front of me
A western screech owl -- a small owl with an oval body and in this picture no visible ear tufts sits on the metal railing of a staircase and looks towards the camera. It was about 15 feet away from me, though the picture makes it look closer. I took the picture from above it as it's about a half-flight of stairs beneath me. The picture was taken at nighttime but phone camera technology makes the scene look clear and well lit. Background is a wide ditch with green grass and an empty road.

Today's weird French estate agent photos. I think this agent has taken the idea of buyers being able to imagine themselves living in the property to a whole new level. (link: www.leboncoin.fr/ad/ventes_im...)
Estate agent's photo of the kitchen in a house for sale. A man stands at the sink, filling a saucepan with water. Estate agent's photo of part of the living room in a house for sale. A man sits on the sofa. He is not wearing shoes. One besocked foot is on the floor, the other rests on his knee. He is staring ahead as though watching TV. Estate agent's photo of a tabby cat. Presumably the cat is in the house for sale, but you can't really tell, as all you can see is the cat's face in close up, staring directly into the camera, a bit like it would if you were in bed and the cat had decided it was breakfast time. Estate agent's photo of a shower room in a house for sale. The tabby cat features again, this time sitting on a window sill overlooking the toilet. Much as you might expect your cat to do while you are sitting on the loo (thankfully the agent has not included the man in this shot!).

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

Close up of an owl -- a little screech-owl, yellow beak pointed down, feathers a mix of ruddy red and white. Its ears are perked up and back, pointy. Its eyes are yellow. They are pinched and tilted in a way that the owl is expressing something akin to incredulity, or perhaps, sheer unfuckwithable anger. This owl is dubious and full of salt. A salty, disappointed, disapproving owl. This owl is how we all feel right now, I suspect. This owl is all of us. This owl says, "well fuck this shit," and the owl is right. Anyway.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.
