Acrylic painting of a cream-colored spider with an egg-shaped abdomen covered in an intricate, blue floral pattern. The spider sits on a web covered in dewdrops. Pink flower petals are located in all corners of the painting.

Sharing this painting from 2020. The spider is based off of several different species, so aside from the abdomen (obviously), doesn't actually exist. Finding beauty in what many call creepy.

So-I spoke to Balderson @ a MLKJr. luncheon held at OUZ several years ago expressing concerns we were seeing out west re: fracking and the H2O quality. He’s a coward, and I hope that others are able to confront him before drilling starts at the parks in SE Ohio. Give ‘em hell!

This vibrant mid-20th-century color photograph captures Geraldine “Jerrie” Fredritz Mock (November 22, 1925 – September 30, 2014), the pioneering American aviator who became the first woman to fly solo around the world. Standing on an airport tarmac beneath a clear blue sky, Mock poses confidently beside the nose of her red-and-white Cessna 180 aircraft, the Spirit of Columbus. She smiles warmly and just off to the right of the camera, her expression radiating quiet pride and joy. Dressed in a tailored teal wool coat with large white buttons and a pink floral corsage pinned to her lapel, she holds a small beverage can with both hands. Her dark, curly 1960s-style hair frames her face.The plane fills the left and upper portion of the frame, its glossy fuselage boldly lettered in white script “Spirit of Columbus” and “AEROPRISE, INC.,” with “CESSNA” displayed prominently on the side. A hangar and a partial figure of a man in a light jacket appear in the background. The overall composition centers Mock and her famous aircraft as equal partners in triumph, creating a mood of celebration, determination, and historic achievement.

#OTD in 1964, “Jerrie” Mock landed her 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴 plane in Ohio and became the first woman to fly solo around the world.
