Acryllic on Canvas.
My brother's birthday gift, based on Bambi Thug's Eurovision performance of Doomsday Blue.
The Space Between Worlds vy Micaiah Johnson
A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys
Pretty much anything by Octavia Butler.
Strong Bad said it best: "It's like, even when we win, he wins."
Ew, at least shave it first.
No one in Hollywood or on YouTube recalls this. Everytime i see someone on fire I shout "STOP DROP AND ROLL" at the TV, but they just stand there and flail like morons.
Just had to spend over $10k on a new air conditioner in the 90F degree heat.
They were baked. They have a sprinkle of smoked paprika on top. I try to do humaning well by filling up my plate with veggies, but I'd be lying if I said they were anywhere near as good as the sandwich.
Made for the 52weeksofbaking Regional Favorites challenge.
50F is the perfect temperature.

Acryllic on paper. Inspired by Sonia Purnell's A Woman of No Importance. I normally only paint based on fiction, but after reading about Virginia Hall, real World War II spy, I wanted to do her portrait.
I tried to do it in the style of this video. I don't know if they thinned out their paint or just have transparent paint, but I immediately covered over my sketch with paint too dark and gave up following along. I still like the way it came out.
Acryllic on paper. Inspired by Scott Smith's The Ruins. I tried doing this abstract botanical style but it didn't work out for me. I used so much paint on this stupid thing.
And didn't even like the book. I think it's been too highly praised online. If you go into it expecting a B movie of a book instead of a literary masterpiece, you'll have a better time.
Yes but you have to use twice as much.
I've been told at one office that they didn't allow patients to switch doctors within the same practice. Currently, I live in a very small town, and am on Medicaid. I've been trying to switch to the only other practice in town (my current doctor has made 5+ screw-ups with medication, and has declined to write down my information and make requested referrals), but they're dragging their heels. So I'm not holding my breath that it will be any better. Anyway, I guess my point, apart from the rant, is that the system is even more fucked than you say.
Mixed media on paper.
This was inspired by SJ Watson's novel Before I Go to Sleep.
In brief: Christine suffered a head injury 20-ish years ago and she's had amnesia ever since. Every day she wakes up remembering nothing from her adult life. Recently, she's begun journaling to help herself build a life, and has discovered multiple mysteries. I enjoyed it, found it suspenseful even when I predicted the ending.
Paper collage inspired by Claire North's novel The Sudden Appearance of Hope.
Hope has a condition where no one can remember she exists. You could spend an entire day getting to know her intimately, but if she's out of your eye line for 60 seconds, you forget her. The next time you see her, you're meeting her for the first time.
The concept was great, the execution started off great, but towards the end, the pacing slowed down and it kind of fizzled out.
Incidentally, I don't have aphantasia, but my inner eye is incapable of holding onto an image. This collage is very similar to how my imagination works. I can picture a person or object, but if I try to focus on it or hold onto a detail, it morphs into something different.
Acryllic paint and marker on paper.
Part of my series inspired by fiction books. This is based on Deb Rogers' Florida Woman. The book takes place on a macaque reserve, and some of the monkeys are dangerous carriers of the Herpes B virus, as depicted in the painting.
This book was more red herring than plot. I don't recommend it.
Acryllic paint on paper.
Part of my series inspired by fiction books. This one is based on Ursula K LeGuine's The Lathe of Heaven. I attempted to paint in the style of Alexej von Jawlensky. I didn't enjoy it, and don't feel it turned out well.
Mount Hood overlooking the city of Portland, OR is a big motif in the book, as is the moon. It's a short read, and a philosophical look at whether we have a responsibility to change things for the better, or avoid making them worse.

Acryllic paint on paper. Part of my series based on whatever fiction I'm reading. This was inspired by CJ Tudor's The Other People.
I've been trying to do abstracts, but since this book evoked no feelings whatsoever, I had to go in a more literal direction. It's a mediocre thriller with a weird paranormal subplot that leads nowhere.
We had a Deadpool theme party, one of the activities was a bunch of unicorn coloring pages. I made this one my own with gouache paint.
Acryllic paint on paper
Part of a series of abstract paintings inspired by whatever fiction book I'm reading. This one is from Paul Tremblay's The Pallbearers Club.
Brief book review: Imagine Stranger Things but the only characters are Robin and the kid that bullied Eleven in season 1, and absolutely nothing supernatural or even interesting happens, whatsoever. If you're not into a lot of navel-gazing by self-admittedly unlikable characters and lots of name dropping bands, give this one a miss.
Because you don't want your voters to have to think about nuanced issues. You want them to react with pure emotion.
