The penguins are not pleased, at all, with that oil company placing drilling equipment without permission. Not at all. So, here's today's #inkyDays drawing. #ink #drawing #art #penguins

Playing with a mushroom motif for today's #inkyDays drawing. I also made some small test prints with a penguin motif I carved out today.

I've been waiting on a batch of test-print stickers, and they arrived today. I decided to take inspiration from one of my new stickers, for today's #inkyDays drawing. #ink #drawing #art #stickers #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt

Going with a simple branching fractal for today's #inkyDays drawing. I also finished two networked plesiosaur pieces on watercolor paper. #ink #drawing #art #SciArt #MathArt

In today's #inkyDays drawing, I'm playing with a pattern from another of my new stickers. This one was originally inspired by the stone floors when I was serving jury duty, but evolved into inclusions in inclusions and almost organic. Here's an in-progress shot. The rest is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/KristinHenry/posts/inkydays-july-162664874 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-July-2026-N1J522FKWC #ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt

For today's #inkyDays drawing, I'm going with some purple penguins. They might be kicking a ball around, for no particular reason. #ink #drawing #art #penguins

Playing with this mushroom pattern again for today's #inkyDays drawing. I also made progress on this "inclusions" piece on watercolor paper. Here's an in-progress shot.

@tanyakaroli@expressional.social @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange I was scolded, as a child, if I didn't do this. by my mother's family, but not my dads. Also scolded for cutting more than one piece at a time before putting down the knife and switching the fork back to my right hand.

Working on a squirmy sea star motif for today's inkyDays drawing. As I sat down to start drawing, I notice this little cluster of penguins were looking rather photogenic. Here's an in-progress photo.

@LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt We do this in the winter holidays, to make bagel toasties for salmon and all the rest. It's great for when you are indulging on smoked salmon and don't need all of those carbs. But day to day, I slice normally.

#inkyDays 07/23/26 I'm playing with ripples in today's drawing. I also started an experiment with Yupo on aluminum. At first, It looked amazing. But then it didn't. I've got a lot of research and experimenting to do, if I want to continue working with Yopo. https://www.patreon.com/KristinHenry/posts/inkydays-july-162664874 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-July-2026-N1J522FKWC #ink #drawing #art #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt #Yupo

I've got a linguistic question: In the language you grew up with, what does a baby first call their parents? And what is that language, and location on the globe? Boosts appreciated, to get more responses.

You also need to chip in to server costs, on whatever community server you are active on! This shit isn't free to run. The people who volunteer to fight off nazis and other creeps, and deal with threats from various sources, um...it would be nice I we didn't have to worry if we can still afford to pay server expenses. You leave a server, and expect somebody to pay for keeping your data there? WTF? Community socials cost money. Are you helping to pay the bills?

One more thing...sorry...but when I got my Cancer diagnosis, I started working on making vis.social sustainable without me. We have not yet accomplished that. I've been continually building a team of amazing volunteer moderators. They are amazing. The part I haven't been as good at? It's that I haven't been as pushy about community members helping to cover community expenses. I would sleep a lot easier if our finances didn't rely on me covering the gap.

Playing with a scrunci-worm motif for today's #inkyDays drawing. Here's an in-progress shot. The finished drawing is now on my Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/KristinHenry/posts/inkydays-august-165503193 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-August-2026-F5N024AZG7

@Armavica@social.sciences.re Thank you

Thus ends this rant, as an artist who used to work in tech, and pays most of this servers expenses, even though I now bring in an artist's wages...which is essentially nothing. Our server expenses are almost $500/month. I can't be expected to keep paying the gap. OK, now, I end my rant.

Aside from running a community server, it would be amazing if greater fedi folks would actually support artists, and actually purchase artworks. Or buy indie-games. Or buy indie-published books. Spend money on the creations that creative people post here. Or they will stop participating here. They will stop posting daily drawings. They will nope-out, even more than they already have.

@paulboeck@beige.party Thank you!
