It's been a while, but here is a sketch I did on October 22, 2022 of M76, The Little Dumbbell Nebula in the constellation Perseus.

@Kailanismt1067 Thank you, I don't feel like this is that good, maybe I just need to keep going but thank you. I have not sold any art since I'm still new to creating. Everything I've made so far has been just for me, but I share it for free. Someday I'd love to make prints to sell though

I'm trying to make a piece of #art as a gift, this is my face. I am horrified that this is how someone might see me lmao. I'm both extremely amused and extremely concerned. Any #artists have any tips? I was going for impressionistic/loose #drawing and then #watercolor paints

[Mike 🔭 Rector @AdirondackAstro]

I cannot draw faces. WTF?!?! 🤣 😭

Here are a few other watercolors I did aside from the one I posted yesterday.

Still struggling a bit, but the heartbreak did inspire me to dive into a bit of art. New to watercolor and haven't done much drawing in the last 20 years, but here's a piece I did a couple weeks ago titled, "A Pulse in the Fog (Veil of Silent Despair)"

Started using the Finch app to try and get my lazy ass to accomplish things. Would love to have some friends on there.

I picked a micropet just for you! (Its the ghost)

@BNONews No need to apologize, buddy, thank you for your service.

@MillerStream Coming from someone who put that they're catholic on their profile. I'm not claiming all catholics are pieces of shit, but this one sure is.

[Mike 🔭 Rector @AdirondackAstro]

Shocked? Absolutely not. Disappointed? Yup.

I did not get out to view the comet at sunset last night like I wanted to. Now we are under clouds for a few days with Thursday being the first day without clouds. Hoping I can gain the motivation to get out on Thursday because I really want to see another naked eye comet.

@UrbanAstroNYC Just saw this, I sent you a DM

[Mike 🔭 Rector @AdirondackAstro]

I hate the fact that the hobbies I used to love and enjoy bring nothing but depression the last few years. I miss enjoying astronomy.

Amenra show in Montreal a week ago on Sept 27, 2024. The most visceral, emotional, and raw concert I've ever been to. Completely life changing experience.
