Ooooh Sylvie I had to think about this one!!! Okok

1. I’m lumping Bisbee/Cochise together because they exist in the same universe. That series is my baby. I also have a T141 extension of this universe where they’re a cowboy gang on the table.

2. Stains in the Granite is my eldest born. Stains in the granite was the first time I realized I’m good at writing about grief and ugly feelings and how much it helps me get those out. This also sparked a whole universe between Drac and I. Their Cracks in the concrete and there’s a separate fic I’m working on called Static on the Line based off of Drac’s AU of my AU. I have no idea if it will ever see the light of day but it is very, very dear to me.

3. CAPTAIN SEEKS MATE my beloved. Simply because they are so so fun to write and because I LOVE yacht rock.

4. The Chemicals Between us is my Soap fic that 2 whole people have read. But it’s my most mature feeling in terms of the way I write and how comfortable I am with my voice.

Anon I’m gonna be so honest with you I’ve heard people talk about peyote and I had no idea what it was until I googled it and now I’m giggling.

I’m pretty sure I have one of these stupid little cactus in a pot in my yard and I’m laughing so stupidly at my desk thinking about going home and licking it and ending up like Candace when she touches the tree moss.

Ahhh!!! My animal heads!!!

I started my new big coyote piece today. He looks a lot like my dog. (Attached below is a pic of her for reference.) it’s been a long long time since I’ve felt inspiration. I’ve talked about struggling with my style before and it’s because I want to make fun storybook art, but I can’t help but feel like I’m undermining my ability or something by making something more illustrative.

I think this stems from an art teacher that I had (actually, really one of 2 that I had in high school. I’m primarily self-taught) that really pushed realism because I was good at it. A lot of people tend to place value on realism because real=good to most basic standards. But I like the challenge of making a balanced composition, and creating color cohesive palettes, and developing a voice, and establishing visual storytelling. I think I’m going to take this summer, now that my co-op season is over, and use it to push this style again.
