Reblogging Comic Again With This Addition Because It Is Gold. On Top Of A Landlords Office No Less.

reblogging comic again with this addition because it is gold. On top of a landlords office no less.

The first four pages of a zine. The first page has a house sparrow flying with a stick in her claws and a worm in her mouth. The background is a blue sky. The word above her is Resilience. Below her the words are the author's name (Ari Coester) and tumblr handle (astro-axolotl). The second page has a yellow stucco store front with a red letters that say HOME. There are spikes on any flat surface. The sky is blue with a few clouds. The top line reads "the coporate bigwigs had antibird spikes put up." The bottom line reads "to stop them from perching and pooping. The third page shows a sparrow perching on an antibird spike on top of the M. The text reads "The house sparrows were not deterred." The fourth page starts with the text "they built nests." A bird perches on a nest built in the H. Below another bird builds a nest in the O. A final bird works to build a nest in the middle of the M.
A four panel comic continuation of the comic above. On the fifth page, there's now 2 white eggs with brown speckles in the H nest. In the O nest two baby birds beg for food from their father, who brings them a worm. In the M nest a father sits with two larger chicks, one of who is screaming while the other sits there. The text says they raised families. The sixth page is a close up of the M nest. The mother is coming to land. The father sits on the back edge, and the 2 babies sit up front. On the M is the text "kept safe by what was meant to keep them out." The seventh is a repeat of the first page, covered in poop with many silhouettes of house sparrows flying in the sky above. The text says "And they are pooping more than ever. The final page is a brown sparrow feather on a blue background.

Older Piece (October 2020) But I Still Like It. 

Older piece (October 2020) but I still like it.

A 13 year-old squats in a puddle of blood in 3/4 view with her back mostly to the camera. She has black and white converses, black pants, and an oversized jean jacket with the sleeves rolled up around her wrists. On the shoulder of the jacket, there's a black circular patch with a red dog's paw in the center. The half of her head closest to the camera has shaved short, pink hair. The other half of her head has three spikes of pink hair with the last one falling over her face. She smokes a cigarette nonchalantly. The smoke swirls over her shoulders and coalesces above her head in the silhouette of a snarling dog. Its eye is a glittering red diamond. The background is a dark green that becomes slightly bluer towards the center, vertical strokes give a sense of walls closing in.

Another day, another oc (Dogslobber) and another osha violation. (pretty sure 14 year olds are not legally allowed to smoke and that blood puddles are work place hazards).

A blue sea slug with yellow and darker blue polka dots on a green background. It has reddish orange antennae and a plums of white and light rose tentacles on its butt.

Another sea slug because I love painting them and cannot be stopped by man or god.

Back To The Isles....

Back to the Isles....

Image Id: Luz Noceda in her end season 2 outfit holding Owlbert in staff form. She looks up and to the side with a determined but nervous expression. Owlbert’s head is pointed in the direction of her gaze. The ground is dark and cracked.

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.

Tasty Tart, Inspired By A Strawberry Rhubarb Tart I Had From The Local Vegan Restaurant And Still Dream

Tasty tart, inspired by a strawberry rhubarb tart I had from the local vegan restaurant and still dream about to this day. Fell off the face of the earth for a bit (moved across the country and started a new job) but now that I’m settled posts should be more regular.

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.

A 7 page zine about Michigan turtles.  The first page has an outline of Michigan with turtle shell pattern on it and small turtles in the Great Lakes. The next page has green painted turtle on rock with its back to the camera. The text reads: MI's state reptile. The next page has a green spotted turtle with the words fits in your hand. The last page has a green Eastern box turtle both in and out of its shell. An arrow points to the hinge on the closed turtle. The text reads can close up like a box.
The next has a green Blanding's turtle. The top text box says yellow throat. The other says always smiling. The next is a green snapping turtle with its mouth open showing its tongue. The text says MI's biggest turtle. The next has a green wood turtle and the text says "stomps to make tasty worms come out of the ground."

An 8 page zine I made back in October about some of Michigan's Terrific Turtles! Click for better quality, tumblr is messing with it.

Some Angsty Raeda Because I Love Them. 

Some angsty raeda because I love them. 

Image ID: In the upper left corner, Eda Clawthrone in her harpy form flies towards Raine, who is dressed in their barde coven uniform, in the bottom right corner. Raine is falling with their eyes closed. One of their arms is raised and Eda reaches with one arm for their hand. The background is a gradient from peach to dark purple, with peach in the upper left corner and purple in the bottom right.

A comic with dark blue on the outside of the panels.
First Panel (whole line): A crowded aquarium with two girls staring at a massive zebra shark whose tail bursts from the top of the panel. 
Second panel (half line): One girl with short hair looking at the tank with complete awe. 
Third panel (half line): Other girl with long hair looking at short haired girl and blushing. 
Fourth panel ( full line): Close up of long-haired girl's hand reaching for short-haired girl's hand.
Fifth panel (full line): Close up of long-haired girl's hand pulling back. Short-haired girl has not noticed.

Lesbian pining at the aquarium. Yes I know I'm incredibly original.
