A Perfect Circle concert (opening act: Jehnny Beth)

Small watercolor paintings. Left page: people waiting for the concert under blue and vivid pink lighting. Two heavily tattooed girls are sitting on the floor and talking. On the right, someone is reading a book. Four other people are leaning on the barrier in front of the stage. Right page: 1) two drawings of a guitarist with long hair, playing his guitar. Translation: "Jehnny Beth's guitarist has "insecurity" written on the back of his jacket. I don't know why it's so funny. (photos and videos are forbidden, so I'm taking notes + sketches)." 2) The singer, in a dress, being held in the air by people in front of the stage. She's kind of kneeling over them. Translation: "Jehnny Beth sitting on the audience (then she points at people and says "stay alive, I've seen you alive").

Interlude (Infinity Train fan comic)

Infinity Train fan comic in four panels. 1) Grace in a train car full of washing machines, putting a bandage on her left knee. Grace: "You know what was a mistake? Not taking kneepads with me." Origami bird: [sings a question mark]. Grace: "I don't know. I guess I didn't want to feel like I was going on a raid." 2) She's walking on a stone walkway between overgrown towers. Origami bird: [sad note]. Grace: "Do I miss the mall car? Of course I miss it. I miss it every day." 3) She's walking through thick fog. Human-like silhouettes can be vaguely seen through it. Grace: "I couldn't stay. It wasn't... it didn't feel like home anymore. Does that make sense?" 4) She's resting on a pink cloud. There's a giant eyeball looking away in the distance. Grace: "Do YOU miss the origami car?" Origami: [flat notes]. Grace: "I know... we're so far from home."

Pet Shop Boys concert & drawing other people going back home on a 1am bus

Watercolor drawings. Left page has a hastily drawn little comic about a British guy moving in front of everyone waiting for the concert and refusing to let a small lady (who was there first next to o.p) move in front of him. Second page has two drawings of the Pet Shop Boys concert, one where the band is wearing tuning fork-shaped masks and one where the singer is silhouetted against a neon pink and blue screen.

Left page: Neil Tennant holding a lamp post while crew members dressed like construction workers move elements of the set around the stage, lit green and purple. Text: "'I can fix Neil Tennant' you guys look like a construction crew". Right page: two passengers on a night bus, a white woman wearing jeans and a leopard print shirt, looking pensively out of the window, and a black woman with a pink hairdo and white headphones leaning her head against the seat in front of her to sleep.

Art fight attack @sparrowlucero.bsky.social ! (very difficult to drink with this avatar)

Drawing of Pico (a wooden segmented lizard with really tiny hands and feet), a Digital Circus OC by Sparrowlucero. She's awkwardly sitting on a chair in the café and trying to drink from a coffee cup by lapping at the surface with her ribbon-like tongue, looking annoyed.

I never wanted this. I wish you were dead (Infinity Train Book 3 fanart based on an upsetting doodle I drew several months ago on scrap paper)

Infinity Train fanart of Grace and Simon fighting, mostly in dark red and bright green tones. Grace is holding Simon by the front of his hoodie and pushing him away with her left hand, which is covering most of his furious face. Simon is entangling both of them in a mess of cables from his harpoon pack and his right hand is reaching through Grace's head and emerging on the other side, making multiple film rolls from her tape burst out of the back of her head. Grace's number is rapidly going down on her arm and Simon's number has bled on everything around him including the cables he's entangled in.

Digitally coloring some doodles in one of my pocket sketchbooks

Doodle of a red bird-like creature flying above giant, unstable piles of books, and using a luminescent whip-like tail to open one of the many books. Another beaked creature, carrying an inkwell on its back, is carefully climbing one of the book piles.

(the t-shirt is from the Doctor Who book "The Tomorrow Windows") (I didn't add the Doctor's face on the design so just assume it's on the back lol)

Watercolor drawing of the Eighth Doctor flying the Tardis and smiling at Fitz, who's wearing a t-shirt saying "I'm voting for the Doctor". Eight, beaming: "Oooh! You've kept the t-shirt?" Fitz, frowning and blushing: "Yeah? What if I have".

happy month of queer joy that no amount of hate will ever be able to repress forever

Watercolor painting of Lake from Infinity Train, smiling and running on orange, dead leaves while holding a Progress Pride Flag, floating like some giant cape.

Adapted from Fredric Brown's short story Naturally (1954). Back when I first read it as a kid, the translation I had translated "college" as "collège" (secondary school) so I pictured someone much younger than an university student doing this. I thought it would be fun to illustrate that vision lol

Comic adaptation of a Fredric Brown short story, in two pages. 1) Someone looking at their watch. 2) It's a teenage boy trying to study geometry late at night. He's slumped on his desk on a mess of books and papers. 3) He turns his head. 4) There's an evil-looking red book on his shelf. 5 to 7) He looking up instructions in the book, draws a magical circle of protection on the floor, and lights six candles.

Page 2. 1) Very large panel. A horrible, winged, fanged, eyeless demon appears in the room surrounded with blood red flames. The boy, standing very small in the center of his circle: "I've always been poor at geometry..." 2) The demon, "looking down" without eyes on the botched protection circle full of stray lines and with six sides instead of five: "You're telling me". 3) The boy, eyes wide, one second before huge claws flatten him.

Watercolor postcards I painted for three of my friends, each with their favorite The Amazing Digital Circus character chilling in one of the rooms of my favorite educative cd rom from my childhood, L'Océan des Origines

Small watercolor painting of Kinger (from The Amazing Digital Circus) in a laboratory full of test tubes, books, files, bottles and fossils. He's holding a butterfly pinned in a box, but also staring at three other butterflies flying around the room.

Small watercolor painting of Ragatha (from The Amazing Digital Circus) in a library with little carpetted pathways over rows and rows of bookshelves, and one computer hanging above a desk in the middle of the central platform. She leaning over the bannister and reading a book.

Small watercolor painting of Zooble (from The Amazing Digital Circus) sitting at the foot of some stairs in a hub full of doors (one has an ammonite on it, another one a green egg, a third one looks like the entrance to a submarine). They're holding a record and listening to it on a gramophone, some of the music notes rising in the air and some laying flat on the ground.

Everyone wants to save Leo in a different way and everything sucks and now the timelines have declared war ("Leo ended years ago" fan art)

Illustration in neon blue and neon pink colors. Leo from the audio drama "Leo ended years ago" being pulled by the arms by two future versions of the same character, one man and one woman, both with a time travel device on their arm. Leo looks distressed and the entire picture seems to be glitching. The background is a clock face, also glitched.

yet another post-book 3 Infinity Train fancomic

Infinity Train fan comic in three pages. Page 1. 1) Grace exiting a car with a neon blue palm tree, holding her origami friend. Her number is down to her wrist now. "Wow. SIX nice cars in a row?" 2) She's walking towards the next train car. "The cubes, the old mill, the calendar, that weird empty room... Yeah, the one with the rain counts, sorry. And that neon one even had a BED!" 3) She opens the door. "Let's see..." 4) "...what this... car is... like..." Her voice trails off. She's in an orange desert full of blue, pink and purple plants under a purple sky. On some rocks, there's pink lizards with plants growing out of their tails. 5) Origami bird: "[music note]?" Grace: "Oh my god... I've been here before...".

Page 2. 1) She's running down the hill enthusiastically between the various plants and rocks. "That's the desert bloom car! I haven't seen it in years! I was twelve when we found it!" 2) Waving dismissively. "Simon wanted to call it the 'desert car' but like, there's soooooo many desert cars, you know?" 3) "So I told him that it was a bad na-" The origami has folded itself into a skull while she was talking. "- hm." 4) Walking between the plants. "Yeah. I know. He was still my friend, okay? I know it's weird. It's like there's two versions of him. Still not sure how to reconcile them."

Page 3. 1) Several small insect-like creatures with six long wings and a round, glowing body fly by. Grace, delighted, tries to make one of them land on her left hand. "Ooh! The 'night lights' are still here!" 2) She holds the creature between her hands, eyes closed, smiling but nostalgic. "Simon was soooo scared of the dark! We caught a LOT of these things." 3) Laughing about another memory. "We had an entire jar of them at one point!" 4) The smile melts off her face and her voice trails off again. "...after we tore their... wings. off." 5) Looking at the tiny creature she's holding in her hands, head bowed, deep in thought. 6) A few oblivious 'night lights' are flying peacefully in the foreground. Grace is walking away from them in the vast desert, towards an extremely distant door on the horizon. "We can't stay here."

Cerberus rave

Small watercolor illustration of a giant, black dog with three heads, resting on giant amps, in front of a dancing crowd. Each mouth of the three heads is projecting a beam of a different color (pink, yellow, blue) of neon light.

"The story and the engine" isn't even my favorite episode of the Fifteenth Doctor's run and yet I haven't been able to get this idea for a drawing out of my head ever since I first watched it

Doctor Who fanart, mostly in brown and blue colors. Fifteen, in the episode The story and the engine, following the maze pattern in his hair with the tip of his fingers. Above his head, his cornrows dissolve into the actual maze he's navigating. The maze then turns into the room where the engine is - the engine looks like a gnarly tree, glowing turquoise blue, full of thin branches holding a multitude of masks, in the middle of a room with shelves full of trinkets and lit by orange lamps.
