Are you able to vote in US elections? Because the preachy vote blue no matter who posts are really not where it's at, Neil, and if you can't vote in the states then it's doubly fucking annoying.

I'm sorry that it annoys you that I don't have a vote in the US: if it makes you feel better, I pay the vast majority of my taxes here, I live here, and more importantly my children and grandchildren live here and will grow up in whatever version of the US the courts and government create. The effect of the US on the rest of the planet is enormous.

So I'm going to use whatever platform I have to point out that voting matters. And that sometimes you hold your nose and decide who you're voting against.

I love the Lisa Frank coloring on this sweet angel.

Mala (2024)

This is Mala! This was my half of an art exchange with the wonderfully talented @visionaryartbyvajra on Instagram. They also painted an amazing portrait of my cat Chloe. This portrait was painted with acrylics on an 11" x 14" canvas, and was finished sometime in early March. The reference photo had a cool skull in it, and they wanted it included in the portrait, and I think that was a great choice! I used fluorescent paints, which really don't scan very accurately, but in the real life painting the eye sockets and nose of the skull kind of glow! And it is so cool!

The idea of dragons in modern times is so fun because imagine a hot summer day on your vacay and go to use the hotel pool and staff is like "valued guests we regret to inform you that the pool area is out of service at the moment, we apologize for the inconvenience"

And people like "wtf why" looking out their hotel room window and there's this. This dragon just curled up in the pool chilling, literally, cooling itself down

Some of the staff are trying to gently shoo him away and the dragon does a soft little "rrrrrr" like a grumpy cat and a warning puff of smoke and they're like "fuck it i don't get paid nearly enough for this" and no ones using the pool today sorry!
