Punk cyclops woman collage, with melted cheese neck, cactus hair, rose tongue sticking out, and beetle broach eye.

The Front Market flyer: May 2nd and 3rd, Austin Texas

I made a new cyclops collage to add to the collection! This isn't a great crop, because the best part is that her neck is melted cheese a little lower down, but you can see the full piece at The Front Market where I'll be vending Sunday, May 3rd!

I'm so excited for my first BIG market!

All that and a bag of chips? A whole bag of chips? In THIS economy?

#ProsperWithDragons

I have a story in TRANSCENDENT 3 (ed. @bogiperson.bsky.social), alongside so many excellent ones. It's about an agender/genderqueer culture of workers confined to a desolate port planet in a galactic human civilization that uses alien tech to travel freely across worlds. You can read it here too:

Collage print of a very fancy cyclops woman, with gold bangles for a neck, a citrus slices for lips, hanging fern earrings, and shrubbery afropuffs.

Collage art of a closed-eye cyclops woman having a sensual moment, big brass bangle cuffed shirt, sliced ham face, pea pod mouth, and a bouquet and tentacle up do.

I've made more collage art! I love them so much, I keep telling them how gorgeous they are.

I was trying to find a paper canvas for the second one and ended up using a print of the first one. It was the right size and weight, AND I love that they are building on top of each other. Generational! 🥰

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

Keeping an eye on the book banners, I noticed that somehow their fear-stoking over zines of late has been effective in ways other book targeting has not.

It broke containment and grifters now talk about zones like they're improvised explosive devices.

Freak out a creep.
Make a zine.

Past halfway!! We can get this funded! Pass it on -

More Prosper with Dragon lore! I've still got 3 more dragons to go, but it's so lovely to see all the cards on display, each getting their own spotlight. 🐉

These are some truly amazing artists who brought this game to life, so go follow them!

Feathered dragon card: A teen pets a horned and feathered dragon perched on a branch of a rooftop garden.

High upon the rooftops of once-abandoned skyscrapers, feathered dragons roost. Nature reclaims these structures, plants rooting in cracked cement. Life begets more life, and an ecosystem is reborn.

A garden can fit anywhere: a rooftop, a patio, a windowsill. 🪴

Elemental Dragon: In a cramped bathroom, a web-footed dragon flicks water at a human.

Some dragons can form deep connections with the elements, making them adept at fending off disasters. A seasoned dragon can divert floods or redirect fires while keeping nature's needs in mind.

Just don't expect that kind of consideration when it's bath time.

Fledgling Dragon card: Young, serious child with a baby dragon sleeping in their afro.

The bond between human and dragon starts early and strengthens over time. Fledgling dragons might not have the strength of their elders, but they are willing and eager to help out however they can...

...right after they're done with their nap.

EF5 Tornado: A powerful tornado strikes a countryside, telephone poles bend, lightning strikes.

Seasons change, weather shifts, a tale as old as time. But as climate shifts, the winds whip harder and storms speak louder. We make new scales to measure the destruction when the old ones are no longer enough.

On a living planet, nothing is still. 🌍

50-Year Flood disaster card: people wading in floodwaters in a tropical climate, woman stands in the foreground holding her pack of belongings and an umbrella.

As floodwaters rise, strangers become a lifeline. Communities coalesce as we depend upon one another for survival. And if we are wise, we build those bonds before disaster strikes.

Nature sends us a reminder of what is truly valuable.
