Man having food poisoning sucks, but being away from Tumblr for a few days has done WONDERS for my stress levels.
Claire’s snake Rodney. Can a snake give side-eye? I think this snake is side-eyeing me hard.
THAT’S MAH BABY
Well, one of my two, anyway. I am officially vowing to post some photos of my kids, seeing how my sister has beaten me to it.
My Fistful of Paintballs piece for the PixelDrip gallery’s Community-themed art show, Six Seasons and a Movie! So many things I want to change about this, but I’m gonna shut up and be happy about it.
Go check out the opening next month if you can:

Queer (French version for Projet 17 mai)
I’m so excited that I can finally share my new comic with you guys! Many, many thanks to Dwam for correcting my original (hilariously bad) translation and turning it into something readable in French.
Projet 17 mai contacted me several months ago about creating a comic on the theme of homophobia, and though it is definitely something I’ve experienced (being denied service in shops, having people throw garbage, being followed by howling gangs of men, etc. just for holding my girlfriend’s hand), I actually have been more hurt and upset by the biphobia I’ve experienced from the LGBT “community” for falling in love with and marrying a cisgender man. Even bisexuals have been needlessly mean because I feel the term “queer” is a better fit for me instead of “bi” (it’s totally cool if “bisexual” is the term that works for you!! It’s just not the one for me).
Basically, the Identity Police have been very hurtful to me (and others who are attracted to multiple genders), so that’s what I did my comic on.If you can read French, go ahead and read the whole comic, or wait another couple days for me to get the English version uploaded on my site.
The English version is now online!
Queer (English Version)
Erika Moen is so damn sweet and so damn talented, and this comic is worth the read for anyone who identifies as anything.
I don’t get how our personal tastes in food/movies/pets/whatever else can be so completely and utterly fluid, but when that same concept is applied to our personal tastes in other human beings? People FREAK the FUCK OUT. Anyway, Erica says it way more eloquently than I can, so go read that and everything else she has ever written
I mean a blue tiger, maybe, but a Shyamalan sequel? Nonsense
…that goddamn fake Avatar poster has popped up on my dash twice today, so I’m reblogging this

A portrait of Nat Love/Deadwood Dick for Tiki Machine’s upcoming Western-themed art book, which should be debuting at San Diego Comic-Con this year.
Nat was a knockout black cowboy with a pretty impressive autobiography and, not being one to give up any chance to draw bison, I decided to draw from the chapter in his book about a Buffalo stampede:
A Buffalo Stampede—On They Came, a Maddened, Plunging Snorting, Bellowing Mass of Horns and Hoofs.
…So rad. You can check out some more WIP sketches over on the blog, and I’ll make sure to let you all know when the book’s out and available.

First things first- if you’re not following Dr. Jessica Metcalfe’s fantastic Native American fashion blog Beyond Buckskin,you’re missin’ out.
Secondly! She just opened up an online store, Beyond Buckskin Boutique, and it’s full of couture, Native-made fashion from some insanely talented artists. In Jessica’s own words:
With Native American cultures inspiring and influencing the broader fashion industry these days (you can see it splattered all over fashion magazines and catalogues), I think it’s time we start including (actual) Native American artists in this movement, rather than just our awesome inspiring cultures. I mean, we (the people) still exist.
And this is one of the reasons why I decided to launch the Boutique.
Since the mainstream fashion world doesn’t seem to be too keen on giving diversity a chance (and I mean in terms of representation of designers and models from diverse ethnic backgrounds), the new Beyond Buckskin Boutique hopes to create that platform - the platform that has been (and continues to be) denied to Native American fashion designers.
Aaaaand I want to buy all of it.
The final, belated result of a commission for my bud Zoë, who wanted me to do a portrait of her special gentleman- the lovely Jacob Strick- in full Myst regalia.
I have next to no time to do commissions in between personal projects and work, but who am I to pass up the chance to draw fellow Myst/Riven/URU enthusiasts in their proper setting? Also I love these guys. <3 <3

oaksandroses asked:
That is so fabulous. Assuming someone wanted to get it as an actual tattoo, what would your thoughts be on that?
I’d be totally cool with that! Flattered, actually. If it was a tattoo I was designing for myself I’d definitely be more protective, but since it’s just for cosplay I’m happy to share it out.
