It’s been 12 years since Rose’s Introduction!
Due to the current state of things in my life I'll be making some listings available on etsy for short sale in the way of my smaller one of a kind prints.
$35- 5"x 7" on White Paper
$45- 6"x 9" on Black Paper
$60- 9"x 12" on White Paper
All paintings will be picked at random from the those I have available.
For each $10 sale (or donation if one so choices) you will be put into a drawing for 1 of my larger one of a kind paintings.
It would be a blessing to not live in fear of losing the roof over my mother, my pup and I's heads and to some day have a safe place of our own.... But at the moment we need this to work. So.
Every bit helps, and as the drawing will be for all your support please let me know if you'd like to added to the drawing pool. As I am thankful for all your past and continued support in these hard times in my life. But if it it weren't for you all I'd never have gotten to here at all.
As I hope this'll be easier on everyone and myself and to make things more stable in the way of income. I'll be doing this monthly. Drawings at the end of the month included. Thank you for your continued support.
**** If you'd like to be added to the pool for your past support please message me.

Emergency!
May 15th 4:11AM
The good news is that I finally can pay April rent. Now I'm just 15 days due instead of 45. It's certainly better but not awesome. I've been struggling so hard but painting a lot. I've add quite a few new things for tax day rewards for being a grown up or Father's Day. Everything is currently 60%. While many are having their own dramas mine trying to shelter, feed and care for my aging family member has thus far been a loosing battle and I'm absolutely desperate for all the sales I can get to keep food in the fridge, lights on, water running and a roof. I'm not good at it but I'm at least trying.

Rupal Gupta wants to raise funds for her son Ayaansh Gupta. He has been suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Your donation can guide them
gonna forgo the usual rage monologue about the pharmaceutical industry here and get right to it: a coworker just shared this fundraiser for a family they know whose kid has spinal muscular atrophy and needs a single dose of lifesaving gene therapy before his third birthday on may 27th (at which point he'll no longer be eligible).
they're just over seventy percent funded, but it costs just over two million dollars for this one-time treatment that can stop (and potentially reverse) the effects of SMA, which otherwise has pretty severe mortality rates. they need about $640k in the next week. only so much I can do on my little slice of the internet but if you can spare any kinds of donation here it'll put my own soul at ease and could make an immense difference for ayaansh.

So I went to the Josh Fight
a summary:
- Two Josh Swains were in attendance. OG Josh, hailing from Arizona
- And Nebraska's own Josh Swain, from Omaha.
(feat. An Audio Engineer doing THE MOST for that sound quality)
-All the local news stations were there
- The majority of attendees were from out of state
- The two Josh Swains battled for supremacy by Rock Paper Scissors duel.
- The victor? Josh Swain, from Arizona. A crushing defeat for Josh Swain, who despite having none of Josh Swain's newfound Twitter Clout, DID have the home team advantage, as well as a Great Look.
- Following the Josh Swain Duel and coronation of the One True Josh Swain, there was an All-Josh pool noodle battle royale
- A brief list of notable Josh Variants I saw in this battle:
Josh Swain (Prime)
Josh Swain (Secondary)
Medieval Josh (full chain mail armor)
Spider Josh (x2)
"Josh Wick" (had pool noodles mounted to two electric drills for spin-attack capabilities)
Furry Josh (A Josh in a fursuit)
Big Josh (A large man with the words "Big Josh" painted on his bare torso, and "Dad Bod" painted on his back. Armed with pool noodle wolverine claws)
Little Josh (A small boy of about 5 years old)
Luchador Josh
Roman Centurion Josh
The rules were simple. Enter the ring and fight honorably (no headshots, no hits below the belt.) If you are hit with a pool noodle, you are dead, having fallen in glorious battle. The last Josh standing would be the winner.
The battle lasted a little over sixty seconds in total. The final victor was....
LITTLE JOSH, THE SMALLEST COMBATANT.
The crowd was going wild. The chanting for Little Josh was deafening. Truly there could have been no better outcome.
pool noodle combat was then opened to the general public, for fun rather than glory.
As for Josh Prime, he was like a very cool dude! As of last reporting, he raised $6600 dollars for the Children's Hospital and a truckload of nonperishables for the local food bank alongside the other Josh Fight attendees! He offered masks to any maskless people he met, and did his best to keep things as safe and socially distanced as he could, despite the ungodly amount of people who showed up to this random fucking field outside of Lincoln, Nebraska.
(Also for the Nebraskans: Yes he tried a Runza, and yes he says he enjoyed it.)
So anyway. Shoutout to the one and only Josh Swain.
OH ALSO here is just the raw footage I got of the Josh Swain Duel and the All-Josh Pool Noodle Battle Royale
in case you missed it - the official Joshs Wain Battle aka Josh vs Josh vs Josh aka Josh Fight Barrle Royale 2021 is abt to start in an hour (April 24th, 2021 A.D. at 12:00 PM (CDT, UTC-5)

maybe homestuck was the friends we made along the way
my favourite new arrival today to the Suez Canal party is this incredibly conspicuous Russian warship labelled as an oil tanker that’s just anchored amongst the stranded cargo ships. chillin.
realized what the map screenshot is reminding me of glgkdkkdkfjdksj
“russian warship 545 is unhappy”
“well life isn’t fucking fair is it russian warship 545”
Okay this just got INTERESTING
So I went back to check on my pal Russian Warship 545 (registration name KOLA), and being unable to find the red dot in the area, thought it had moved on. Curious as to when and where to, I ran a search on Vesselfinder for the name “Russian Warship 545”.
No results found.
“Okay, that’s fair. Maybe you can’t search for naval vessels by name. National security and all.” I said to myself. Then I remembered that I’d screenshotted the ID number (see above), so I ran a search for that instead.
This is when shit got weird.
So I mentioned just now that while the vessel showed up earlier today under the AIS tracking title “Russian Vessel 545”, the legal registration name listed at the bottom of its details page was “KOLA”. This isn’t that weird in and of itself — I was poking around home on the map earlier today, and found Canadian naval vessels with tracking titles like “Canadian Warship 707” and then the actual vessel name (HMCS FancyName or what have ye) listed as the registration name along with the flag country.
I mentioned also that I couldn’t find Russian Warship 545’s distinctive red dot (red is the colour for search and rescue, coast guard, and naval vessels in Vessel Finder) in the Red Sea anchorage field outside the canal when I went to check up on it.
So imagine my surprise when I type the ID number for “Russian Warship 545” into the search, and am told IT IS STILL LOCATED IN THE RED SEA ANCHORAGE.
Huh???
But not ONLY that.
It has now been switched to an ORANGE tanker vessel dot, and is showing up with “KOLA” as its AIS tracking name, looking for all intents and purposes like a regular oil tanker:
Except for the fact that when you open the details page on Vessel Finder, the image attached is VERY MUCH STILL A RUSSIAN WARSHIP:
And the specs and details are all the same as earlier, including being owned by what is still listed (due to the 1967 manufacturing date) as, I shit you not, “Soviet Navy”:
However!!!
On further investigation via Marine Tracker, I’ve found what seems to be a much less “stripped from Wikipedia”, and much less impressive, image of our friend Russian Warship 545 (which is still listed as the AIS name on Marine Tracker):
This page on Baltic Shipping also associates similar pictures with the same ID numbers, further corroborating this and giving a bit more extra backstory about the builder etc. “Kola” is listed as an Altay-class Russian military tanker with a matching 1967 build date on this List of Active Russian Military Vessels, and was actively doing stuff for the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean within the last two years (x) (x).
So.
My best guess at an explanation for all this weirdness?
Creaky old Soviet-built oil tanker KOLA, owned by Russian military, was doing regular oil-getting business in the area.
Said oil tanker is listed on some AIS records in the same manner as most military-owned vessels, “[nationality] warship [hull #]”, and with a red military ID dot.
Somebody working for Vessel Finder is really lazy about attaching a database image to the profile for KOLA. (Interestingly enough, reverse image search turned up no other instances of the warship image used on the listing).
Then, this week, Ever Given does the world’s worst parallel parking job and blocks up the Suez canal.
KOLA, gone to go get oil and bring it back to the fleet, is now stranded with many other oil tankers in the middle of the Red Sea, unable to pass back up through to the Black Sea or wherever the hell she was going.
At some point, perhaps somebody involved in the control/management of KOLA had the thought, possibly while sitting around at anchor for two days twiddling thumbs and playing cards, “hey, you don’t think our AIS designation would make us look like we’re up to some really sketchy shit out here, do you? given that hundreds if not thousands of random people are looking at vessel tracking sites right now?”
“Hm. Shit.”
(Alternatively, somebody onboard is killing time on their phone looking at the shipping carnage and notices their bright red tracking dot and alarming name).
Phone calls are made/things are updated and Creaky old Soviet-built military-owned oil tanker KOLA hastily has its AIS display name updated to read as its registration name instead of “Russian Warship 545”, now with an orange oil tanker classification marker.
This change has the unintended result of making them look EXPONENTIALLY sketchier than they did before.
ALTERNATIVELY: Less funny version, it may just be a glitch in Vessel Finder’s software that gets triggered by the two different names and the conflicting classifications. When I went to look at it again just a minute ago, we were back to a red indicator and “Russian Warship 545”:
Bottom line: do I think that anything freaky or untoward is ACTUALLY happening with this vessel? Not really.
Do I find this all EXTREMELY entertaining? You bet your ass I do.
Highly recommend just fucking around on vessel tracking sites for a few hours. Gosh what a fun time to be had.
unfortunately in my fact check I spent so long researching this tough and dependable 54-year-old Soviet naval refuelling vessel that I’ve accidentally become weirdly fond of it. she’s a sturdy old girl. I wish her well
Time to break out my accumulated Harpoon resources
I can't say that it is or isn't a
BUT, the picture in this book closely resembles the updated picture on the Marine Traffic tracker thing.
So it is plausible that it is indeed a Russian navy oil tanker. Its also amazing to me how little the Russian Navy seems to have changed since 1982.
Hey, what do you know! Marine Traffic . com has better pictures of the ship and I think I got it right!
The KOLA collided with a bulk carrier (the ARK Royal) while enroute to the Suez Canal.
https://www.fleetmon.com/maritime-news/2021/33109/bulk-carrier-collided-russian-navy-tanker-suez/
And because I am a nerd here is a size comparison of the two ships (Bold is KOLA and Italic is the ARK Royal): Length: 106.1m - 190m Beam: 15.4m - 31m Draft: 6.7m - 8.3m
Not quite as bad as the fuck up of the Ever Given, but you generally don’t want to run into other ships.

fingers in his ass sunday
you know what day it is
Last fingers in his ass Sunday of 2020 you guys
i told you id make art based off cabinet man one a these days. ignore the fucked perspective & the fact that ive clearly never been in an arcade
[id: a two-panel comic based on “cabinet man,” colored with mostly grayscale save for a little bit of bright red. “it’s getting lonely / it’s getting hard to breathe,” read the captions as a red figure with only spindly fingers & slit-like eyes peers out of the otherwise black screen of an arcade machine. “the arcade’s empty / i think it’s christmas eve,” it continues as the view pans out to show the arcade at large, the figure inside the one machine the only glimmer of color as two shadowy figures loom outside, carrying baseball bats. snow is visible behind them. /end id.]
