ART ROUNDUP: FEB 2024

This post has images! If they do not show up for you, please click through! Happy Leap Day! So we know that if a year is divisible by 4, we add an extra day in February, but DID YOU KNOW that every 100 years we decide "nah" and skip a leap day UNLESS the year is divisible by 400? I only just learned that recently, because obviously 2000 is divisible by both 4 and 400 so it was in fact a leap century, and as I am only a young lass not yet past my 100th year, it just never came up. Eagerly awaiting 2100 for a fun new experience (a year divisible by 4 and yet NOT a leap year! Wowee! What will they think of next?). Anyhow! Just a little art roundup from February. (Some of this is from Dec-Jan but whatever. Sue me. (please don't i am too poor for a frivolous lawsuit)) i'm so obsessed with wet ham these days. i mean as a concept. but also as a physical item. my god, ham is SO wet!! my first acrylic painting in many many moons. the first of hopefully many to come!

Hourly Comic Day 2024

Hello everyone!Thank you for bearing with me as I work out the kinks and bugs of migrating subscribers and all that. The last couple of years have been a very tumultuous time, both personally and professionally, as I figure out the next steps for my career. There has been (and will continue to be) a lot of experimenting with different ideas and media and I am honoured that you have been with me all this way. I'm moving into a new phase of my career and I foresee a lot of throwing spaghetti at the wall for a while, as I figure out my new workflow, goals, and objectives. The main reason I have moved my comics over here is that even though I don't necessarily love Wordpress/Jetpack as a newsletter client, it is where my site is hosted and I think I've reached a point with this current era of the internet that I want to feel the illusion of control over my own "home" so to speak. I'm loathe to change all this again and absolutely exasperated with the state of things, but it had to be done. I just want to hand out one link to people, and I don't want to worry about that link going bust, being overrun with nazis, or becoming unusable in some way. I suspect there will still be some growing pains here and it isn't perfect, but hopefully this will be a nice enough home for my comics.Anyhow! Here are my…

DIRECTIONS Cut up all your veggies. While grating/chopping beets, use a glove if you don’t want to look like you just murdered a man for fun.If using beet greens, chop up your stems to simmer (they’re tougher) and save the more delicate leaves to add closer to the end. Briefly sautée your onion, garlic, and carrot in the pot in a bit of oil or butter until slightly tender and brown. Add beets, potatoes (if using), cabbage and/or beet stems, broth, and tomatoes (and ribs, if using). Simmer…
