The colors are so gaudy, but it's so visceraaaal!
Presenting Mother Timothy Goose as the High Priestess!
I love the gender fuckery of Ally being non-binary, Mother goose as a gay man, and the original mother goose as a female character.

I recently read the Ducktales 2017 Art book. Apparently, if the show wasn't cancelled, they were going to actually have a romance between them, including a funny double date episode.
To the tune of "I could've been turbo" ... WE COULD'VE HAD MAGICSTONE!? (animated and not just comics)
Happy Valentine's Day!

Funguary Feb 9 - Silver Leaf Fungus - Ipos
Ipos is an Earl and powerful Duke of Hell who has thirty-six legions of demons under his command. He knows and can reveal all things, past, present and future . He can make humans who summon him witty and valiant. He is commonly associated with both the goose and the lion.
On the other hand, the Daemonic Silver Leaf Fungus is roughly the size of a barnyard gander and is mostly associated with excessive screeching and a tendency to get it's head stuck in commercially designed feeders. Some fanciers have started trying to breed them in patterns such as the Flemish and the Canadian, but with small success. The Daemonic Silver Leaf Fungus feeds on clothing fragments and the psychic energy of causing bruises through nipping.

Happy Easter
I was heading past the cliffs overlooking the Beaverhead River the other day and spotted the geese that hang on rocks. They always show up there this time of year. I spotted a lone goose lower down on the cliffs in a good spot for pictures. I had to take my eyes off it to get my camera ready to go. When I looked up, I lost him, completely disappeared. There was a pair further down, so I moved up closer which also gave me a better angle. I took a couple of shots, and then right above me there was honking. It was the first goose that I had lost sight of, at a much better distance and angle than before.
A very good photographer and the owner of Perfect Light and Yellowstone Camera shops Chris Balmer suggested using Auto ISO, seems to work real slick.

New project idea: draw Gladstone (or other geese) like he's in an Amazon goose plush listing.
If this seems to get enough reactions, I'll add it to the project list.

#MetalMonday :
Ewer in the form of a Hamsa (Gander)
Indian, Deccan or Northern India, ca. 16th c.
Bronze with later brass repairs, copper-arsenic paste
H 15 3/16 in (38.5 cm)
on view at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
“The body of this ewer takes the form of a goose (hamsa), another common motif in ancient Hindu and Buddhist iconography, where it is associated both with the waters of life, because of its aquatic nature, and with wisdom and purity, on account of its legendary ability to separate milk from water. The spout takes the form of a makara—a mythological aquatic creature that resembles a crocodile with an elephant’s trunk and a fish’s tail—another quintessentially South Asian motif and one of the most commonly used propitious emblems in Indian decorative art.
Other features of the ewer resonate more closely with Islamic artistic traditions, which came to South Asia with travelers and traders soon after the emergence of Islam itself in the seventh century CE. Thus, while vessels in the form of animals are quite rare in Indian metalwork before the Sultanate period (1206–1526), when Muslim-ruled kingdoms first controlled large areas of South Asia, zoomorphic ewers have a long history in Islamic metalwork going back to the eighth century CE. The hamsa ewer beautifully represents a confluence of motifs, mythologies, and objects that belong solely to neither Islamic nor Hindu cultural traditions. Indeed, it would have served equally well the needs of either a Muslim or a Hindu owner, facilitating the performance of ritual ablutions before religious observances within the home; or it may have been proffered by a servant at an elite banquet, enabling Muslim and Hindu guests alike to cleanse their hands before and after the meal.”
