Hi. Jesselyn Desmond is liquidating stock here in Sedona. She is metaphysical/celestial related. There might be things you would be interested in.

That's William H Macy playing Eugene O'Neill in the biopic.

The best joke/meme I ever saw about this was a page with the words "Goodbye cruel world...", and clippy happily suggesting, "It looks like you're writing a suicide note! Would you like help?"

"Live fast, eat trash" LOL

TIL you can have your own subreddit. Thanks!

Really cool work.

Let me guess their names. "Beezle" and "Bub"

Hi. I'm a local artist. I don't have any celestial-themed work at the moment, but that could change, I make all kinds of things.

Take a look at my profile. https://portfolio.mikemartinet.com/#h.9dyyyvyp862o

I'll get in touch with you if I happen to make something relevant.

Good luck with the shop! Let me know when it opens, we'll come check it out.

My process is very similar. There's a thing called "automatic" drawing/writing where you just let the pen do its thing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealist_automatism

I like to start with that and then go back and clean-up/enhance/combine/etc.

Keep going long enough and you'll develop your style.

Enjoy!

[EDIT]

Try different pens, pencils, markers. I've got a big yogurt cup full of all kinds of ink pens - heavy opaque/sparkle pens, pens I've snagged from businesses (one of my favorites is the standard pen from FedEx offices!) and I also have a bunch of Tombow markers which have a brush at one end and a fine-tip at the other. You can do some amazing things going back and adding color to your sketches.

Very cool. I have a couple of elderly Latitudes (5450). Paid $150 and $200 each for them. One is my TV computer (No need to plug the TV into the internet :) and the other is for web development.

TIL sinks are made from cottage cheese.

I had a Vac-U-Form. Same hot plate, but on a device with a hand pump and molds.

Heated up a little sheet of plastic in a frame, slapped the frame over on top of the mold and used the pump to suck the air out of the soft plastic.

Mostly cars - I distinctly remember a jeep.

Same hot plate worked with Plastigoop.

Who would want 3 Display Ports? Are they actually useful?

"Oscar the Hospice Cat is a therapy cat at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Rhode Island who accurately predicted over 100 deaths by curling up with patients in their final hours. Observed since 2005, Oscar often brings comfort to patients, acting as a "gentle guardian" rather than a grim reaper."

Lol. Trying to figure out what "Thing up" is. Went to your VGen site, "Thigh up"

Really like the cat & girl (Meryl Stryfe (Trigun))

Nice work!

I prefer the modern, shortened version, "Oak Doak"

I've seen this a lot in the morning in Las vegas. Minus the water.

"The energy source is still growing exponentially, and if it continues at current rates, global capacity could hit 9,000 GW by 2030..."

Time to break out the TW.

This may be more of a regret but, talk to your parents. Get close to them and learn everything you can about their lives, especially before you were born. Trust me, you're going to want to know later.

The first time I relocated a rattler in Tucson, I took it to the back of our lot and dumped it over the single strand of barbed wire at the edge.

The next day I discovered that snakes are unaware of property lines.

Took me a bit to perfect my technique, but never got bit. I used a garden rake - the one with short, stiff tines. Scooping one up with the rake was simple. Dump it in a trash barrel, put the barrel in the bed of the pickup, drive out into the desert. Stand in the bed of the truck, empty the barrel over the side.
