Progress over my lunch break.

Digital drawing of a bust of a woman, WiP, partially colored.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Feb 4

Here’s the full picture - WiP.

Digital drawing of a bust of a woman drawn in “graphite pencil” with white “pencil” highlights against tan background.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Feb 4

This tickles me.

Highlights in white “pencil” against tan “paper” (it’s a digital drawing) of the bust of a woman. The highlights are mostly her face and hair.

I’m working on some art for a thing I’m writing. Two people forced into a relationship are separated because one of them is a violent impulsive dipshit.

A four panel illustration. Panel one is an outstretched hand in front of brown, orange, and red flowers framing a starry sky. Panel two shows a guy from the shoulders up holding a crossbow, a tree of life behind him. Panel three is a hand reaching out in front of a pale blue watery background with jellyfish and bubbles. There’s a Chainmail bracelet around the wrist. Panel four is a placeholder for a title.

A hand reaches toward the right in front of orange, red, and brown flowers framing a starry background.

A close up of a guy with a glam rock mullet and a scaled cloak holding a crossbow over his shoulder. There’s a Kabbalah tree of life behind him.

A hand reaches toward the right, a slender Chainmail bracelet around the wrist. The hand has long blue nails slightly darker than the watery background, which has a few silhouetted jellyfish and some bubbles.

“9 Princes in Amber” was published in 1970, meaning dope-smoking acid-dropping professional drummer and future king Random could well have had Glamrock Hair while fencing werewolves and attempting to overthrow the government. #ChroniclesOfAmber

Four panel banner with a digitally drawn and colored image of two cupped hands holding a pomegranate. The hands are in 3 panels with the pomegranate in the center of the three. The background behind one hand is water. A sky is behind the other. The final panel is where I’ll put the chapter title.

Close up of a digital drawing of a pomegranate held in two cupped hands. I’m in the process of coloring the pomegranate. The hands are outlined.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Dec 27

Rough ink drawing of a four panel banner image. Cupped hands holding a pomegranate are drawing in the first 3 panels with the pomegranate centered.

Ink drawing of an opened pomegranate with the arils a flat red as a base color.

Ink drawing of an opened pomegranate with the arils “painted” in glossy gem-like shades of red, like jewels or blood.

The Witcher drinks slivovitz I see. (It comes in a round bottle bc nothing with slivovitz in it can remain standing upright)

Geralt laughed dryly, got up, removed Lunin and Tyrss's “The Arcane Mysteries of Magic and Alchemy” from the shelf and pulled a round-bellied vessel wrapped in straw from behind the bulky volume and into the light of day.

"Oho." The bard visibly cheered up. "Wisdom and inspiration, I see, are still to be found in libraries. Oooh! I like this! Plum, isn't it? Yes, this is true alchemy. This is a philosopher's stone well worth studying. Your health, brother. Ooooh, it's strong as the plague!"

The Keebler Jingles also weren’t great.

Text says "Caption this with the 2nd to last text you sent." Image is the corner of a room that looks like a murder scene with blood on the walls and a chest with a lamp and a small TV which has, on its screen, an image that looks very much like a naked butt.)

Screen shot of Frodo Baggins from Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” movies. He’s just waking up. Text on the image says “And it’s 10:00 am in the morning on October 24th if you want to know.” Text below the screenshot says “the only time of year this can be posted”

He is a shape shifting sorcerer computer designer who’s an Olympic level athlete whose first crush was NOT a demon or a vampire he met in his childhood playground (a cemetery) while playing a bone flute that makes skeletons dance. Merlin/Merle Corey from Roger Zelazny’s #ChroniclesOfAmber

A guy lounges in front of a messy desk & shelf. There are two vintage computer monitors visible. He is smoking a cigarette because it’s the 1980s and he’s written by Roger Zelazny. This is in-process color digital drawing.

A young red haired woman looks thoughtful.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Oct 22

Here are some of my favorite faces from recent updates:

A young red headed woman looks a little thoughtful.

A young red headed woman looks a little angry.

A young red headed woman looks very angry.

you’re invited to the bluesky halloween party; show off your costume.

Screenshot of a listing for a generic costume ad. The title is “supportive burger wife costume set” and shows a photo of a woman from the shoulders up. She’s wearing a black wig that flips up at the ends, red cat-eye glasses, and a scoop-neck red shirt. It’s a poor imitation of Linda Belcher from the show “Bob’s Burgers.”

Remember when you’re being mean to me this is who you’re being mean to.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Oct 15

Aww, look at those low rates! #ChicagoPosting

A stock photo/drawing reference from AdorkaStock. A white woman in a skin-colored body suit crouches head-on over a white orb on the ground. There is a stick behind the orb.

Oh shit I forgot Balkan Ekspress, a WWII movie from 1983. I got this on VHS a million years & look for a dvd version every few years. A lot of my husband’s formative media is not easily available.

Promo for the 1983 movie “Balkan ekspress.” 4 people shown from the upper chest up brandish musical instruments and guns.

I love a lot of Emir Kusturica films but “underground” is probably my favorite. We have the super extended tv movie cut but I haven’t watched it bc reading subtitles is hard. Tony Gatlif is another fave- “gadjo dilo” is wonderful.

Cover/poster for the Emir Kusturica film “Underground.” A woman in a red dress is in a tango-esque pose hanging off the gun if a tank. Her red dress and pale skin stand out against the murky greens and blues of the background.

Cover/poster for the Tony Gatlif film “Gadjo Dilo.” A man and a woman with dark hair under a head scarf are shown from the shoulders up in a rectangular photo against a colorful background.

My child, N: mama send me a photo of you for my contacts Me: here you are. You can see all my eye bags. N: oh, I’m sure it’s not that bad. N: … oh. N: Oh. N: why do you… look like you got hit with tear gas? Me: that’s just how I look. N: … …… … oh…

Photo of me with eye bags on display. I’m 46 and I’m tired.

GDI I forgot to add another stack of books on the left there. Just when I thought I was done…

A colored digital drawing of a dark haired guy lounging insouciantly in a computer chair near a desk & shelf crowded with manuals, notes, computers, etc. The drawing is “framed” as a Polaroid atop a few other scattered Polaroids on top of note paper with notes scrawled on it.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Oct 7

Listening to Mary Stewart’s “Merlin” novels while drawing Roger Zelazny’s Merlin. As one does.

Partially colored in-process digital drawing of a guy sprawled insouciantly in an office chair. The desk/wall/shelf behind him is cluttered with manuals, notes, and old computer equipment.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Oct 6

Working on a story framed around someone reminiscing over some Polaroids. I need to add some ashtrays. (It’s the 1980s.)

In process partially colored drawing of two men and a computer. One, red headed and big, is leaning on the CRT monitor. He’s in a suit and holding a cigarette. The other man is slender & dark haired, working at the computer but scooted back so the screen is in view. He’s wearing a long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up and is smoking. Other computers, what looks like an office, are in view in the background. There’s a frame around the drawing reminiscent of a Polaroid photo.

An unfinished slightly colored digital drawing of a slender dark haired man in jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt, and open plaid shirt with rolled up sleeves lounges dramatically in an office chair. He’s in front of a desk with several old computers with CRT monitors on it, and shelves lined with books are above the desk. A lot of papers and notes are hanging on the wall, from the shelf, and stuck yo the edges of the monitors. The computers aren’t really visible - I’m still working on this. Neither is the chair.

Brigid Keely She/Her@brigid· Oct 4

Fairly rough slightly colored digital drawing of two men. One is sitting at an old computer with a big crt monitor, turned toward the camera. The other man is leaning on the monitor. Both are smoking. It is the 1980s.

These jeans are supposed to be capris or floods or whatever. They’re meant to flash a bit of ankle. Note that they touch my feet. I’m going to have to turn these fashionable cuffs up even higher aren’t I?

Mirror selfie of a fat woman in jeans and a black patterned shirt. She’s wearing a white N95 mask.

Dang this makes me want to try crocheting again.
