Desert Bus 2024, Day 7. (Yes, I did skip Day 6.)

A Night Watch Art Challenge for their Beyblades slogan, "If you love something, let it rip!"

In Japanese, the Beyblades anime uses "Go shoot!", so I translated this as「何かを好きならGO SHOOT」.

Sumi ink, watercolour, Japanese calligraphy brushes, watercolour brushes, Western broad nib pens, cold-press watercolour paper.

A logo-like word art piece. It reads, in Japanese, "nanika wo suki nara GO SHOOT!!". The first line is in kaishō script in black, and the words GO SHOOT are in red watercolour. Below it, the English words in italic script and black ink, it reads: "If you love something, let it rip!!" The S in GO SHOOT is extended to create two disks, in a red-to-yellow gradient above and below that evoke spinning beyblades. A light orange splotch forms the background, on white paper.

Calligraphy and a small watercolour painting on cream-coloured paper. In black ink and italic script, it reads, "Every closing of a tab is a tiny murder". Below that, a painting of a browser tab with a knife through its X-shaped close button. The tab icon is an A in a circle, and the title reads AAAAAAAAA, in script that gets messier as it goes.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 4. Dan Olson is a thoughtful person. Welcome to the unhinged madness that is Desert Bus for Hope; please come again!

I felt like the words speak for themselves and needed very little. I edited and formatted them into a contemporary poem, and added a little accent. That's all.

India ink and watercolour on textured paper. Italic script.

Calligraphy of a poem, in Italic script, black india ink on cream-coloured textured paper. Based on words by Dan Olson on Desert Bus. The poem reads: "And as I sat there / I found myself in conflict / 'tween Dan the Culinarian / and Dan the Comedian / and... / well... / we all need to dig graves / for parts of ourselves / eventually". Attributed to Dan Olson. Signed Laogeodritt, 13 November 2024.

Desert Bus 2024, Day 3. The crew read Am I the Bushole stories, and suggest alternative recourses. Dan Wu's proposal is, it turns out, occult—and accidentally poetic?

I made the mistake of picking a thin calligraphy paper to do wet-on-wet watercolour, but turns out the buckling, once scanned, enhance the ritual!

Italic script, ink and watercolour on paper.

Calligraphy and painting on cream-coloured paper. On the right, an illustration of a single candle at the middle of a magic circle in blood red, with a toilet overlooking it. Buckling paper creates mystical lines focused around the toilet. The text is in black italic script, and reads as a poem: "Candle on the ground / Some weird shapes / You walk in— / 'Sounds like you were / doing a ritual.' / 'Yes! I was! / Can I have / some privacy?'" Signed Laogeodritt, dated 12 November 2024.

Julie (@sugarsh0t) shows her true colours right from Day 1.

Ink, broad pen on calligraphy paper, with paintbrush ink splatters. This is the first time I use this Strathmore calligraphy paper—it takes ink beautifully well and has a wonderful texture.

This piece exists *in spite* of Night Watch and the membrane clarinet. @ihorner, I'm not mad at all, nope. =V

@desertbus #desertbus #DB2024 #calligraphy #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #art

Calligraphy in a mixture of large textura quadrata script and small foundational hand. It reads: "I'm Julie. My pronouns are she/her. My colour spectrum is whatever you can fire out of a glitter cannon." On textured cream coloured-paper, with the queer pride rainbow colours splattered across the page, going diagonally upward (as if glitter shot out of a cannon). Signed Laogeodritt, dated 11 November 2024.

Time for my yearly Desert Bus 2024 art thread!

To start out with, some work I did for @DB_VST ! From left to right, paintings for call-ins, a representation of ORB and string-worms, and a new Beer O'Clock icon!

Illustrations in watercolour, text in ink, on 160gsm wood-pulp watercolour paper.

(Note: The bottom text is digitally composited from 2 attempts, because I messed up the first time =V )

@desertbus #desertbus #DB2024 #calligraphy #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #art

Three watercolour paintings. From left to right: 1) a 1950s-style red telephone receiver. 2) the ORB, its red button pointed forward and glowing, on a bed of plush string-worms. 3) A beer stein, with an overflowing head of foam. Below the paintings, the words "BEER O'CLOCK" in uncial script in brown ink. Signed Laogeodritt, dated 9 November 2024.

Fui a un taller de #acuarela en el parque de los Tecajetes. #watercolor
Foto de una escultura sobre una fuente, en medio de un parque repleto de vegetación. Son dos personas abrazando una gran cazuela, talladas en piedra. Tienen manos gruesas y poderosas.
Acuarela en proceso, de esa foto. Está la escultura y parte de la fuente, y algunas de las plantas en primer plano. Falta el agua y el fondo.

As one who studied Euclidean #geometry in college, I sometimes have trouble engaging too deeply sacred geometry, but that star figure on the top left actually has some really nice properties around basic fractions. At a party, I once had someone ask me if sacred geometry was a non-Euclidean geometry. Fair question. I wonder what the cat thinks.

This piece is #watercolor, ink, and mica watercolor on paper. The bronze knot shimmers on the light. #MathArt

Painting of an unusual circular link with three components, each in a different color. Two of the links are trefoil knots, and the third is has 6 cross-overs but is equivalent to the unknot. The background is deep burgundy with subtle linear patterns drawn in with black ink. A tiny black cartoon cat sits on the knot and stares at the viewer.

Painting at night and using our son's nap time, I finished illustration number 58 for the next book. Only TWO to go! This time, insides of the wood suppliers/custom furniture shop from the series. I had such a fun time researching and drawing all the tools used in woodworking! #ink #fountainpen #watercolor

Black holes suck in everything, including, cats, hypercubes, and Fano planes. I drew and painted this piece with watercolor paint, colored pencil, black ink, and mica watercolor on a 6” square of cotton paper. #doodle #MathArt #geometry #ScienceArt #MastoArt #watercolor #SpaceArt #Astro
Painting of a black hole surface like a funnel, but it’s actually orange, pink and purple. Planets with geometric patterns float above the surface with cats sitting on top of them. The surface of the hole is gridded and decorated with doodles like plankton and networks.
