No Whales Were Hurt In In The Making Of This Tea.

A tea shop in the early morning light with pinkish tile floors and aquamarine walls. Along the left wall, there's a small wood table with two brass samovars and a few paper sample cups. Next to it, a bookshelf filled with brass tea containers. A set of three wooden counters arranged in a square with an open side on the left. Behind it, A purple curtain shuts off the back from the front of the shop. The furthest counter from the viewer has three old-fashioned style candy jars brimming with scones and a pastry case filled with tarts, cookies, cinnamon rolls and lemon bars. The two shelves inside the counter are filled with white cups and tea pots and black trays. Behind the cash register, a blond man in his early twenties stands wearing a white collared long-sleeve shirt, a green apron, and black pants. He pours a cup of tea into a pot. He looks over his shoulder smiling as the steam coalesces into a translucent humpback whale.

No whales were hurt in in the making of this tea.

We Love An Alien Ecosystem In This House. We Also Love Giving Deer Spine Spikes To Defend Against Big

We love an alien ecosystem in this house. We also love giving deer spine spikes to defend against big birds and making fungi trees will bioluminescent spore pods. Image Id under keep reading.

Image Id: An astronaut in a pale blue space suit sits beneath a dark green tree with heavily textured bark. At its base, same green shoots point up towards the astronaut and the branches which have glowing oblong blue pods at their tips. The astronaut has black boots, pants with pockets on inner and outer calf and thigh, and a gray belt with many pouches. Attached to the belt is a knife in a black sheath. She wears a gray oxygen tank like a backpack and  gray tube threads into a hole on the chest of her suit. Her helmet screws into her suit in a gray ring at the neck. It is stylized with an ear level blue circle that is surrounded by a gray ring with a stem that connects to a triangle at the based of the helmet. There’s a blue patch on her shoulder. Brown hair frames her smiling face, eyes wide with delight and wonder. She reaches with a black glove with gray bending fingers and a blue stripe across the back towards blue floating glowing spores. The background is a field of red grass beneath a dark blue sky with a flush of yellow at the bottom. The blue is filled with stars the same color as the spores. A herd of strange deer with spines on their back graze in the distance. One looks at the camera. One walks towards the left. One eats with its head buried in the grass. Beneath the stars their is a city  of green and blue cylindrical buildings with rounded tops and spherical protrusions. The lights in the windows are blue like the spores and stars. Orange lights hover in the sky. A translucent blue dome with a hexagonal pattern near the top surrounds the city. /End Id

My Boyfriend Requested Some Sea Slug Sketches; They Turned Out So Good I Thought I’d Share Them With
My Boyfriend Requested Some Sea Slug Sketches; They Turned Out So Good I Thought I’d Share Them With

My boyfriend requested some sea slug sketches; they turned out so good I thought I’d share them with y’all. Behold the magnificent, blushing sea bunnies. 

Image Id: A small, oval, white sea slug with brown spikes and two feathery brown antennae. He is outlined in silver on top and dark gray on bottom. There are small blush marks on his cheeks. The top background is a simple blue, the bottom background is a purple to blue gradient.

A 14 year old girl in profile lit from the front. The side of her head closest to the camera is shaved while the other side is short and spiked. Her hair is bubble gum pink. She's snarling with sharp teeth and dark fur sprouts from her cheek and the back of her raised, clawed hand. A too-big jean jacket hangs over her shoulders. There's a black circle patch on the shoulder with a red paw in the center. The background is dark green with triangular sparks dancing from the bottom left corner to the top right, going from orangish yellow to blood red.

We love a monster transformation in this household. Osha-violator Dogslobber back at it again.

A white mug sits on a wooden table in the morning sun. Inside the mug, there is a small coral reef with green, pink, yellow, and purple corals and anemones. Above the reef, many fish in the same colors swim. Near the top of the water, a school of five eagle rays swims near the right edge of the mug and a black tipped reef shark swims near the left edge. The water's surface ripples and shimmers. On the outside of the mug's left side, a white hand rests. A black sweater pools around its wrist

I think something is wrong with my coffee maker....

A rainbow worm with spiky fur and a wolf head wrapped around a green plant with a yellow bud on top. The background is a misty green morning.

Behold the wolf worm! A hungry little mammal inching its way along to new snacks! Comes in more than just rainbow.

A pink and purple snail with a pumpkin leaf in his mouth crawling on a dark purple background. His shell is replaced with a lit jack o lantern with triangle eyes and nose and a spiky mouth. A weathered paper banner above him says "HAPPY" in red all caps and one below him says "HALLOWEEN"

He's a little slow, but he made it here eventually. He wishes you all a happy belated halloween!

Profile of a woman silhouetted against a yellow sunset sky with clouds in the red barren desert. She wears a black long sleeved shirt and a braid curls over the top of her left shoulder which is closest to the camera. An abnormally large coyote skull covers sits on her head and covers her face down to her nose, but her stern expression is still visible. Her eye peers out from the eye socket. Through holes in the top of the skull, two coyote ears emerge.

Little Western concept I'm toying with. Where'd she get that giant coyote skull you ask? Stay tuned!

A white beta fish curved in a c shape on a black background. Its gray shiny eye stares at the viewer. Its semi-transparent fins contain arms of galaxies and scattered stars.

Galaxy Betta Fish.

Iron is only formed in the hearts of dying stars, and its a key component of vertebrate blood. This fish, like all of us, is made of star-stuff and the galaxies in its fins reflect that.

But astro-axolotl why a fish when all vertebrates have iron in their blood? Good question. The answer is I just really, really like fish.
