Digital Art: Polkadot City

I’m in love with the new Cumulus brush in Procreate. It’s a dream to paint with, and blends nicely. Reminds me a little of watercolour, a little of acrylic, a little of oil…

I painted this with the cumulus brush and another new dotty brush that I can’t remember the name of.

Photography: Dandelion Seeds

I like the softness in this photo. These dandelion seed heads are helluva resistant. The wind was blowing like it was some sort of competition, and many of the seeds found themselves carried away on it. I went to the other side of the garden for a few minutes (I swear, it can’t have been more than 15!), and when I came back there were new seeds already! I took another look in the evening, and some seedheads were already fluffy and full again. I might write fantasy, but I swear I didn’t imagine this!

Poetry: I am

why can’t we be desert moons
or untethered stars
or something that moves, and never stops
a cosmic sunset
turning into moondance
turning into sunset again
if we could be forever
if every smile could be locked in a jar
fossilised heartbeats
thrumming through the earth’s core
memories like paintings
dripping
wearing moons on our fingers
saturn’s rings swirling at our waists
if we could be
if we could
be



Tiny Story: Arid

Your arid promises I never kept. But in the glow of autumn, I found the real you. Perched at the tip of a leaf. Trembling. I caressed you like a rainstorm. Now your promises spring green, like mint. Like solar dreams. Like emerald forever.

Onyx the Kitty Loves Cupcakes

What food would you say is your specialty?

One of my main characters from Witch Doctors Inc wants to answer this one. Over to Onyx the Kitty:

🔮

I am partial to cupcakes. They are my speciality because I specialise in eating them. If you bring me cupcakes from Mrs Francis’s bakery, I may consider allowing you to pet me. Small talk may even ensue. Occasionally, a major secret of the universe may slip from my tongue. (Do not blame me for this. When I am eating, I cannot help but lower my guard).

I would like to mention here that I eat cupcakes because I am a magic cat. I caution against feeding your regular cat such things. My superior nature gives me abilities surpassing those of any mere human or feline.

🔮

A bit full of himself, isn’t he? At least he’s cute.
