pretty butterfly

I sketched this a few years back and I finally got to edit it on my tablet! I hope you like my Digitized Butterfly!

This jazzy creature was inspired by the many butterflies in my garden. The weather has been so sunny and warm recently. What better way to while away the lockdown hours than to spend time with nature.

Dandelions are one of a butterfly’s first food source. This is part of a sandwich bag art project I’ve been doing since 2008.

Mother Nature in contemplation, the butterfly representing she sees through all the living.

Butterfly knife mixed with a crab, definitely a weird prompt, but a good chance to experiment with white ink on midtone paper.

An attempt at painting without any lines. I intended on doing the face last, but I got tired and wanted to stop.

I drew this with alcohol markers and colored pencils. The outlines were drawn with ink brush pen.

the drawings of this occasion are 1. a drawing of Buttercream Sundae from Littler pet shop 2. Juan Carlos Bodoque in the style of U*SA*HA*NA 3. jamzy as red from Warioware 4. Mario Hugo sleeping on a pillow 5. puppycorn as an mhs student.

Doodle of a flower and butterfly, made with fineliner on paper.

Ta-da! Finally done! This was inspired by my annual back to school shopping trip in August with my mom, my siblings, and my grandma. The sign is a bit of a clue to that, the heart is similar for he logo of one of my favorite stores (until they closed last month), and the tan thing in the corner reminds me of the dusty playground we stop at between stores. The hair clip, butterflies, and purple corner (it's really a hair extension) are all from my favorite accessory store. The railing is for the walkway between stores and I don't really have to explain the shirt, skirt, pants, and shopping bag. No trip is complete without a bucket of pretzels to eat on the way home! Anyway, I hope you like my art!

It may be a surprise, but I am only now reading 1st book on UFOs ( I have been mostly interested in aliens as fiction or in ttRPGs). I just learned about the Arecibo Message. Frank Drake sent a message of 1679 bits to his fellow UFO friends and said that this was a mathematical message he wanted to send to the aliens. While not all cultures share language, we all share math. To test if it was decode-able, he asked them to figure out what it meant with no other context. They failed. So he sent it to more UFO friends. They failed, too. So he put it in a decoder magazine and got exactly one correct answer from an electrician. 1679 is the product of two semi-prime numbers, which should get you to realize it’s a 23 *73 picture. Bu needless to say if the interpretation rate was that low amongst earthlings, the hopes for alien communication seemed dim. Especially since the message will take 25K years to arrive. But we do have C’therax and Friends’ take above – admittedly the DNA double helix (blue) does look like a butterflyish thing.

A sequel to my other butterfly barb! Hope the highlights look better :D
