Oh, damn, yeah, I dunno if I have any notable favorite waterfalls... do you? We like driving into national forests and discovering little secret places. One time I did a watercolor on the Skokomish river, though, and that was a treat.

Ahhhh this makes me wanna do it too, what a great way to be present and carefully observe. Beautiful work!
YEEEEEEEEE
You are Hambergering
It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.
Hey Millennial, it's okay, don't cry, Concerning Hobbits by Howard Shore, okay?
They're IN TRANSIT... Here's hoping they get to me in time! I'll check the mail right before we leave. π€

Thank you!
Yay, I'm happy you can drink water now! I was the same way! I'd get hella dehydrated as a kid because I just never felt thirsty enough to keep up with it. Now we solve that problem by having glasses of water spread out across the house so it's easy to just take a gulp when we see it, lol. LIFE HACK
Aw dang that's rough! How do you get around that? Sensory issues are hard. I don't have them with food/drink but I have it hardcore with like... clothes and accessories. I can't hardly even wear T shirts anymore they bug me so much!
We have a well in western WA so our water is delicious β¨ and we're broke so we drink what we got lol
Thank you!

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

I love this dude so much.

SO EXCITED FOR FURVANA COMING UP
Yessss thank you
A fan dub?! Oh my gosh I gotta find that
I realized that I had never actually seen this, just the animated Hobbit. The orcs and Nazgul are actually kinda spooky in this!!
Packing up a long weekend of hosting our annual Friendaissance Faire. We started doing this instead of the real Ren faire and it slaps. We watched the animated Lord of the Rings on a saggy sheet. It ruled.
Aww nice work! It is meditative, isn't it?
I haven't found you yet!! Arrrgh! I'll get you one day!! haha β₯
Thank you β₯ they needed to feel voluminous for sure
An important update
The douglas squirrels are so feisty! I love them, small but mighty

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

"Not a Monster" Sketchbook experiment with conte crayon. Always fight for who you are. Never let them tell you you're wrong for existing.
Will gladly share the fund around. This is such garbage and I hate this for you :(

Maybe she was after my sweat. MY MINERALS!!!
Meditating outside. Yellowjacket lands on my fucking face, gets right up on my nose and eyelids. Crawls around a bit. Oh my god it tickles so baddddd MA'AM. Kindly land somewhere else. Gently turn my head, she leaves. Girl why

Dream Pack Very happy with this one ahh! was such a joy creating this. I used one of my Moonpaintings as a sort of underpainting for this as an experiment. I'll definitely try more of as I envisioned a lot of these as paintings in color :D #art
It's funny how handy a super strong magnet can be!

Thank you! I'm hoping my order of a few paperbacks comes in time for Furvana. I'd love to have some signed and doodled-in books available. Depends on their shipping time, I will have them at the very least at BLFC and FC, though!
Thank you!
"The Replicant", a promotional short film by french duo Milli (& Wizz studio) for Louis-Gabriel Nouchi clothing collection (LGN Spring/Summer '26). Slightly inspired by Blade Runner ;-] (and it's really hot in France today). Full video >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdYQ...
A wonderful real media commission piece by @marandart.bsky.social (who was super timely and attentive and easy to work with!) "Hope Like A Knife", inspired from a 'zine ( www.oddfoxandfern.com/shop/p/big-f... ) a local friend gave me recently. More context here: www.furaffinity.net/view/61995479/

Thank you!! I'm happy with how it turned out.
THE eBOOKS ARE EVERYWHERE... the self-pub platform has already distributed them, so if you search wherever you get ebooks, you'll find it! I'll start building links, but for now, if you'd like to order a paperback copy, check out my new Writing page on my website: www.marandart.com/writing
(incoherent excitement sounds) PHYSICAL COPY IS GOOD, WE ARE LIVE!! Bound to Ashes (2nd ed.) IS HERE!! Sorry, I'm just excited. Finally my works are getting into the light where I've wanted them for over ten years.
I've been writing a lot. It's coming feverishly fast, the plot points are lining up as I go, tangles undo themselves in my path. It's a fantastic retreat (and treat) while things are so busy. I'm so excited to finalize book 2, and looking forward to Bound to Ashes's release VERR SOON
Commission slots almost done (thank y'all so much), new barn roof under construction, comforting an elderly pet through his hard days, weathering unsteady emotional seas while getting health under control, prepping for a big friend weekend and a con coming up... My life is full. π
