I live a strange and odd life, it's mostly my own

About me: Amateur artist and photographer. Stealth geek. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult. All around goofball. Sexy bastard in a kilt. Plays dress-up. A lot. A whole lot. I can't even list them all. Professional Smart-Ass and Snarkmeister. I try to enjoy life. Don't always succeed but dammit, I do try. Love sci-fi/fantasy & conventions, my Mac, Photoshop, taking pictures, playing dress-up, and flirting. Lots and lots of really bad flirting. My plan is to use this Tumblr site to promote my art & photos, kvetch at the world in general, and just have some fun with this as I am more than a bit demented. But in the fun "ha-ha" way, not the "OMG, run!" kind of way. I take meds for that now. ;-> I'll try to keep things SFW but ya never know with me. ;-)

“Henry” at the party

On the first Saturday closest to the Summer Solstice, the Smithsonian has evening hours until midnight. I’ve attended #solsticesaturday before but I’ve never seen the NMNH jam-packed with folks like this ever before. They had a DJ, music, and party lights. Saw quite a few younger folks in their party clothes which was a bit… odd for a museum.

Henry is the nickname for the African bull elephant on display in the rotunda.

Flame-colored tulip Just a very pretty flower I saw recently. I haven’t a clue as to the variety of tulip 🌷 Can anyone positively identify it? #sonya7iii #sonyfe50mmf28macro #flower #flowerstagram #tulip #tulipsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cre0X4SstY6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Uhm… yeah… about *that* logo… This the logo for a made-to-order dessert shop in #sanjuan #puertorico No, it didn’t have any “adult-themed” treats/desserts. The logo is designed to grab your attention to bring you into the shop … and smirk to yourself. 😏 @mrweenie #sonya7iii #humor #mrweeniewaffles (at Mr. Weenie Waffles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CreyvvXrRSa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sun-streaked wild pear blossoms This was a “happy little accident” as my polarizing filter caused some streaks of sunlight to be really noticeable. I just ran with it and am ecstatic over the final image. 😁 #wildpearblossoms #macro #fe50mmf28macro #sonya7iii #nature #niksoftwarecolorefex https://www.instagram.com/p/CqS171Wu3MV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Poison Ivy Taken at the “Dragon Con Night at the Aquarium” event.

DC Bombshells Harley Quinn tattoo My latest “souvenir” from the #jococruise2023 - a new Harley tat! It’s still healing up as it is now 10 days old. This is a photo of it just after it was done (5+ hours). Yes, it hurt. Yes, I was cursing out the tattoo artist for most of this session. Yes, I was regretting my life choices after the 2nd hour. But it looks amaze-balls!! 📷 & tattoo: @fishink_tattoo Edits: @greyloch #harleyquinntattoo #dcbombshells #dccomics #photoshop #smartibject #painfull #pinupart (at Timeless Craft Tattoo Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJpjD6r04u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blossoms and Facets From #katsucon2022 I struggled for the past year in figuring out “the hook” or what elements to strengthen or highlight in this image. #lightroom #photoshop #sonya7iii #cosplayersofinstagram #cosplay #costumes #niksoftwarecolorefex Cosplayers: @yayahan @dessi_desu (at Katsucon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpP-VexL28y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
