There are free iPhone and iPad ports of Moon Child, but I don't know if they still work properly, and the on-screen controls are uhm… challenging. 😅 The controls were designed for the Pocket-PC in the 2000s. I'll upload the Pocket-PC version to the MC Archive a.s.a.p.

Attention animal artists: Im currently collecting ACEO pieces for a mini exhibition (no pun intended? 😛) I'm curating (and just to collect for myself for fun LOL). If you have any for sale, drop your link here so I can check them out! :)

Here is another simple palette: green + burnt umber + ultramarine + cadmium yellow(flowers center).
I like how the sky turned out, but also the little flowers :)

Two photos of a crafted Hoi game character plushie. The second photo features Hoi with a bow.

When my wife and I had just married, she crafted this Hoi plushie for me. 😊💚

As we married uhm… a 'few' years ago, the condition of the plushie has declined, but I thought it's fun to post here.

My wife wants me to emphasize that it was a quick prototype, not a finalized creation. 🙂

If you were alive in the 80's, you probably heard urban legends about "Spanish Fly."

I'd like you to follow me on a throughline that will connect the Marquis de Sade, beetle eggs, the death of George Washington, rape culture and ... the Beastie Boys.

We start with BEETLE BLOOD.

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

i need your help to relocate. the state that i currently live in is about to become effectively unliveable for me. the new law opens up the possibility of being disappeared by ICE.

Am I enjoying this or am I making ice cubes?

A screenshot of the paper from Geophysical Research Letters.

"Corona Discharges Glow on Trees Under Thunderstorms
P. J. McFarland, W. H. Brune , D. O. Miller, and J. M. Jenkins"
Department of Meteorology & Atmospheric Science, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA
Abstract Coronae, which are weak electrical discharges, have long been hypothesized to form on trees under thunderstorms, though never directly observed, characterized, or quantified. Using a newly developed instrument that measures ultraviolet emissions from coronae, the first direct observations and quantifications of coronae are presented for two trees under a thunderstorm in North Carolina. Coronae moved sporadically among leaves on every tree branch in a narrow field of view while the thunderstorm was directly overhead. Coronae emitted ∼1011 photons at 260 nm, corresponding to electrical currents of ∼1 μA, derived from unique measurements relating corona intensity to tree electrical current. Similar results across four additional storm intercepts from Florida to Pennsylvania give rise to a vision of swaths of scintillating corona glow as thunderstorms pass over forests. Such widespread coronae have implications for the removal of hydrocarbons emitted by trees, subtle tree leaf damage, and limited thunderstorm electrification."

Two images of a loblolly pine branch showing a few dozen green needles.  On the left, small purple-blue beams of plasma shoot out, looking like magic emanating from a wand.  On the right are much smaller globes of intense purple color at the very tips of each needle at the top of the branch.

During a thunderstorm, moving clouds generate strong electrical potentials (⛈️-).

This induces electric fields in the branches & foliage of trees. These fields generate an imperceptible ultraviolet corona.

Trees are literally LIGHTING UP around lightning. Let's talk about it.

compilation of two photos. top photo was taken in shitty dappled day light. it shows a piece of tetra pak cut into the shape of two mushrooms, and two intaglio prints made from it - one on dark tissue paper. bottom photo shows the same prints and plate in darker lighting, which demonstrates how they glow in the dark - mostly. the text in the image reads "tetra pak intaglio - AKUA PG7 x PW6 + strontium aluminate". signed mx. kit chimera. all of this is set on a cardboard and lace background.

possum got in the strontium aluminate again

it scratched up the tetra pak (large particle size) during each wiping process, so the later prints have more ink and texture than the early ones.

ngl the texture was pretty gross, but I think the glow pigment needs that large particle size to like, glow

Artists, never forget that you are not a brand. You do not need to be consistent and marketable. If you CHOOSE to strive for these things that’s fine, but you do not NEED them. You are a fucking person, multi-faceted and complex. People who do not respect that see your art as a product

Now to just get the tutorial working and up. Imma trace the pieces and post them so ppl can try this pattern out for themselves. But I’m pleased with this overall. Even had a light breeze that made it wiggle it’s wings a little(wish it was stronger, but meh)

Cool, and if you use AI paranoia to try and shame a writing style you don’t like, then I know you’re a bit of a cunt.
