Drawing a character for every day of Pride, 2026 edition

hi guys i made a little something something with the communal robot daughter. its on youtube too! wow!

Don’t miss the Fables and Folklore group exhibition on view now at Nanny Goat Gallery through June 27th. Over 40 new and incredible artworks from around the world are on view, including South Africa-based artist Amber Skye Alcock’s gorgeous “Prey Tell” based on the famous wolf in sheep’s clothing tale.

They are seen as small, distinct, raised light-coloured specks contrasting against the darker bark. Because the corky outer layer (periderm) of a woody twig is otherwise completely waterproof and airtight, these pores are important for delivering oxygen to and removing carbon dioxide from the highly metabolically active cells underneath. Lenticular cork cambium is a localised layer of meristematic (dividing) cells positioned directly beneath the pore. Instead of producing dense, tightly sealed cork cells like the rest of the twig's bark, this specific zone produces loose tissue with tiny air filled tunnels between the cells.

Produced by the cambium , this tissue pushes outward to rupture the twig's outer epidermis.

These spaces create a clear, continuous path for gas diffusion deep into the secondary xylem and living bark.

Pear lenticels are originally initiated directly above a residual stoma (the microscopic gas port used by the young green shoot) as the twig
undergoes secondary growth and begins to expand. #botany #stoma #lenticels
