So…roughly three months ago my mother was trying to order a painting for her office space of a New Orleans street view
She picked out a print of pointillism style painting, nice bright colors, appealing to the eye sort of thing.
It arrives only for her to find that it’s not a painting, but rather a mosaic-by-number kit with ~75,000 pieces. Her eyes are bad enough that she can’t really put it together herself and my fathers hands aren’t steady enough to get the tiles facing the right way. So, for the past two weeks I’ve been putting them down one by one so that she can have a nice mosaic for her office wall instead.
I’m roughly 25-30% done:
5/19 update

5/27
Almost 50% done!!
Stepped away for a bit, but back at it! 9/25 update
10/15
Took a break for a while but here’s the 3/5 update!
This is from ‘Beasts of Burden’, a really cool comic about a bunch of dogs (and one cat) protecting their town from the supernatural things that threaten it. It’s spooky and sad and really just fantastic. At one point they teamed up with Hellboy. Everyone should read it (if you don’t mind some pretty dark things happening. it is not a cheerful comic but it is a good one).
Hey! So, I loved this comic, and still think about it occasionally, and tonight it was linked to me again with just the right timing so that I hyperfocused and squirreled off to go read everything! They aren’t really numbered well, but the Wikipedia page has a list of them in release order and what anthologies to find them in!
But given that it’s a pain to seek out each one one by one, I’ve got a list of links in order a smidge further down! Please try to support Dark Horse Comics if you can, but if you’re broke like me and still want to read, the Internet is a beautiful place. According to the wiki page, there are at least two more installments to come, scheduled for May 1st and June 5th, but there’s no real update schedule for the series as a whole.
Do note: they are graphic, gory, and sad, with a lot of body horror. But they’re really fantastic.
Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites contains: 1. Stray 2. The Unfamiliar 3. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie 4. A Dog and His Boy 5. The Gathering Storm 6. Lost 7. Something Whiskered This Way Comes 8. Grave Happenings
I keep getting these ads that all seem to feature AI generated images of an overweight family wearing kelly green standing next to a conspicuous fireplace. what the fuck does any of this mean
The ‘hyperspecific situations’ polls are really once again highlighting that native English speakers tend to forget that 'foreign’ doesn’t mean 'non-English’ or 'non-American’
“Did you watch a foreign language movie in the past three days?” Yeah I watched the foreign movie “The Martian” with foreign actor Matt Damon
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
