(See also: updated corkboards yaaaay.)

I added a couple older sketchbooks I may still reference to the last letter tray (above).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">To better organize my thoughts and story ideation, I keep separate sketchbooks for each story (namely <i>Brainsick</i>, <i>Fáèlborn</i>, and <i>KriMauTai</i> at this time--but almost exclusively <i>Brainsick </i>and its alternate universe,<i> Count the Calm</i>).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Collaging / decorating new sketchbook covers is one of my favorite past times. I'd ordered two Wonder & Weiss Create Collection sketchbooks from Ebay late last year after finding a couple in a local Ross sometime in 2019. W&W has no website that I can find, and the Ebay books were likely picked up from another secondhand store and sold at a markup--but I love them, so I fell for the bait. ;D</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">I will remove the covers from spiralbound sketchbooks to fully personalize them. They're easy to reassemble!

Colorful language impending (I'm queer—would you expect anything less?) amidst a classic Jillian FB novella.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I liked my art better before I monetized it. Fuck internalized capitalism.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Brainsick </i>has always been heavily self-therapeutic. I don't know if I can publish it any more, or if I even want to? Maybe my art was always meant simply to be self-therapeutic. It's felt so healing taking a break from my online shop and cons (and also a massive privilege) to reconnect with my thought process and sketchbooks and writing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have gender dysphoria, and I've denied it for decades because I lacked the language necessary to describe how I've felt since childhood.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I don't feel male, but I've never truly felt female. There are times when I thought I did, and I convinced myself that I somehow managed to pull it off. I've always hated having breasts (why I hunched as a teen), and I DESPISE having a reproductive system at all. I was eight years old when I knew I didn't want children.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If I could afford the cost and recovery time, nothing would make me happier in terms of my physical appearance than a double mastectomy. A hysterectomy would be great if not for surgical menopause.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I'm wavering between genderqueer and non-binary. Still figuring out what fits me better.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The gender binary—the laughable idea that there is "only" female or male—is a sham. Gender variation was the NORM before the binary reared its ugly white colonialist head.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Think about it: of nearly 8 billion people extant, do you really think we all fall neatly into Either / Or? Do you REALLY think all of the estimated 108 billion people who have ever lived were Either / Or?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">No. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Remember that gender is a construct. People fear what they don't understand, so they give meaning to this construct to make sense of the world.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But how do you make sense of your experience when it falls outside the limitations instilled and perpetuated by society?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I've spent years subconsciously HATING myself because I could not make sense of why I felt the way I do. Internalized misogyny and internalized queerphobia are real fuckin' fun.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The general public—even the LGBTQIA+ community at large—overwhelmingly prefers / understands genderqueer or non-binary to translate to "able-bodied androgynous white AFAB." (See how this circles back to white colonialist bullshit?) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">News flash: there are as many ways to self-identify as there are people on the planet—but I'm just parroting folks much wiser than I am. Gender-nonconforming folks DO NOT all look like I do!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">And if you're thinking about pulling the "biological sex" argument? There are several natural chromosomal variations that DO NOT FIT the female / male binary. Sex, like gender, is a spectrum. Science rules.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Naming my gender dysphoria felt like a puzzle piece snapping into place. With it came identifying several childhood "bad habits" that are actually very common into adulthood: body-focused repetitive behaviors, or BFRBs. Nail-biting, hair-pulling, skin-picking… I still struggle with several of these behaviors, which may stem from anxiety, depression, stress, or even boredom. Some may even be inherited. I strongly suspect they're connected to my self-hatred. I have a lot of unlearning to do.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I don't care who reads this because I am sick and tired of lying to myself. I've shared some of my discoveries as IG stories during the past few weeks; friends have reached out to me telling me they feel less "other," less alone. Maybe I can use my art and stories to help people feel accepted and loved and normal—because that's what we deserve.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Long story short? I really don't care if you still refer to me with she / her / hers. Know that neutral pronouns—they / them / theirs—feel much better to me, and make me much happier! <3 </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Happy National Coming Out Day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Be ready to vote, y'all.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">(In case it wasn't already blatantly obvious: Fuck Trump.)</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">[Cross-posting this from FB because I should use my poor ol' blog more.]</span></p><p><br /></p>Jillian Lamberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04990560678650366480noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.5051064 -122.675026120.919572994506765 -157.8312761 70.09063980549324 -87.5187761tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278368173487360677.post-80275387315988129822020-02-17T22:29:00.005-08:002020-02-18T14:04:14.467-08:00Valentine's Day Weekend on the Coast, and Self-Reflection<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I spent a much-needed--and greatly appreciated--few days at my aunt and uncle's beach house this weekend. I left Thursday morning and returned to Portland today. Driving Highway 6 to the coast is a real treat during the daytime; I rarely leave for the coast before nightfall anymore. Trees and moss, low clouds, a multitude of creeks, and the Wilson River begged for photos. I will have to return to answer their call.</div>

I'm happiest when I'm discovering new places. After realizing I liked my art better when it was a hobby, this was an especially relaxing trip. I brought art supplies, but only drew a couple pages in my sketchbook. When agreeable weather greets me at the coast, I HAVE to be outside.</div>

While lunching with Kerstin and Ely last Monday, we discussed hiking and the coast. The gal sitting to my right chimed in and asked if any of us had visited Short Beach: "It's south of Cape Meares and north of Oceanside!" When she described it to us, I knew I had to visit it. Friday morning was sunny in Rockaway Beach. I checked tide tables and left for Short Beach (forty minutes away) at 10AM.</div>

The stairway to Short Beach lies just before Radar Rd. heading up to Cape Meares (off of Cape Meares Loop / Bayshore Dr.). Easy to miss unless you know what you're looking for! </div>

This stairway is pure magic. Residents maintain it--Short Beach is not a state park--and it's rickety in places, yet I could not help but think of LOTR as I stepped down. </div>

Short Creek falls from a concrete spillway onto the beach. Larson Creek Falls is further north. I began venturing toward it, but turned back when I considered the rising tide and approaching rain (after I'd beach combed for an hour or more).</div>

Anyone beach combing the Tillamook Coast is probably looking for one thing: agates. I found some agates along with many other fascinating specimens. I am no geologist, but DANG I love me some rocks! Some agates may be mistaken for jaspers--but both are varieties of chalcedony. The main difference is agates are translucent, whereas jaspers are opaque. <a href="https://www.fossilera.com/pages/agate-jasper-chalcedony" target="_blank">Many thanks to this page for the clarification.</a> Rocks that display properties of agates and jaspers are dubbed "jasp-agates."</div>

Someone had placed this beautiful treasure on driftwood for others to admire. If I told you I didn't want to take it home, I would be lying straight to your face. Alas, geology this alluring is best left for all to see. I settled for photos. I wish I knew what kinds of minerals it contains! Hopefully I will be able to introduce it to friends when I can next visit Short Beach.</div>

I spent a good two hours at Short Beach. When beach combing, or simply while being someplace new, I often lose track of time. It's nice to feel this way sometimes.<br />
<br />
Since I was so close to Oceanside, I parked at the wayside for a pit stop, then walked through the tunnel to the "secret beach" (Tunnel Beach) at Maxwell Point. This is also a good agate hunting destination!<br />

I didn't stay long, but enjoyed my brief visit. Oceanside is one of my favorite spots along the coast, and I've had the pleasure of introducing many friends and my parents to it!<br />
<br />
I treated myself to lunch at the Blue Agate Cafe, just across the street from the wayside. I had a tiny nook overlooking the ocean. Ordered some crab tacos. Fine as heck.<br />

At this point, I figured, Heck, I'll do the full Three Capes Scenic Loop and head to Cape Kiwanda. On the way, however, I discovered another new favorite: Sitka Sedge State Natural Area! This is one of Oregon's newest state parks, if not the newest. I'd briefly stopped at Sandlake Recreation Area before coming here.<br />

The first time I visited Cape Kiwanda was September 2016. I'd come to the beach house for a post-RCCC getaway. After hitting up Munson Creek Falls, I discovered the Cape. I thought, DAMN, I can drive ONTO the beach? This is great! Past the wayside, down the ramp, onto the beach: this is bliss.</div>

I visited Cape Kiwanda again in July 2018 after my folks came to visit Rockaway. I was really excited to drive onto the beach again--but I got stuck. Like, waaay stuck. Some kind four-wheel-drivers towed me out of the soft sand, and I drove back up the ramp in defeat. I ended up at Bob Straub State Park to the south; a nice trade-off, even if I could no longer drive onto the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The ramp is now a boat launch, with signs strictly warning experienced folks to use 4WD vehicles when driving onto the beach. Oops. I wonder if my summer 2018 shenanigans helped prompt the change? (To be fair, there were A LOT of other people stuck on the beach that day...)</div>

Climbing the dune is tough, but the reward is running down. I passed a couple trudging gingerly through the sand. They saw me leaping headlong like a deer toward the beach and stood dumbfounded. I think eventually they picked up the pace because they returned to the beach not long after I did. Somebody Make Dune-Running A Sport 2020!!<br />

All told, I was out on Valentine's Day from 10AM to 6:30PM. So utterly refreshing. The fact that it was Valentine's Day wasn't significant to me, personally, BUT it was fun to be a weird singleton gallivanting the coast while everyone else seemed to be paired, or in family groups. Powerful ambivert recharging vibes, yeah?<br />
<br />
Saturday was rainy, so I read the anthologies I picked up from Mary and Madison at Furlandia last year. I love anthologies! Perhaps I shall contribute to one someday. I rounded out the night by binge-watching the fifth season of <i>Samurai Jack</i> on Blu-ray. Mmmyesss, gimme dat Genndy goodness! I hadn't watched it since it aired in 2017. Took me long enough to watch my copy, sheesh.<br />
<br />
I washed and vacuumed the ever-loving dirt out of my li'l Kia on Sunday, then walked to Manhattan Beach. Watched a murder of crows bathing in Crescent Creek before a woman walking her dog scared 'em off.<br />

I was reluctant to leave the coast this morning, but I got to visit Catherine and Mac and their friend Susan. We had breakfast at Back to Eden. It's amazing how good they can make gluten-free and vegan food taste! I am not vegan, nor do I require a gluten-free diet, but man, what a treat.<br />

Once home, I busied myself with making time capsules with the treasures I'd collected from Short Beach. This is one of my favorite hobbies. It's especially fun because they're for my memories only; I would never monetize them.<br />

I replanted Doug into a larger pot so he can recover from being root-bound. I've been much better about letting my plants relax during the winter, and only water them on sunny days, when I know it will evaporate quickly without threatening mold or rot. I owe this knowledge to Kerstin and Aki!<br />

I shared my loot with Kerstin and Ely on Discord. This particular rock from Short Beach looks amazing when wet, and it has a smooth edge and nice heft suitable for a worry stone. I think it's a jasper? There is a lot of this blue-green ("bleen" heh heh) rock along the Tillamook Coast.<br />

The joy of coastal exploration and seeing friends gave way to post-vacation depression. As badly as I needed it--as tempted as I was to return after breakfast with Catherine--I need to keep applying for jobs. I have a list of them. If I could find a job that paid me to adventure, hoo boy. I <i>did </i>apply with a tour guide company, but haven't heard back from them. Moving on.<br />
<br />
This is a long, rambly post, but thank you for reading it, or browsing my photos. I miss posting here, even if Blogger suffers from phony page views. I'd like to share my adventures in addition to my art. My goal is to keep discovery at the forefront of 2020. Some of it has been brutal (my Hobby Vs. Hustle dilemma; the case files that turned up in my background check for a potential job), but it is February, so there is a lot of 2020 left to share with family, friends, and myself.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over a year later: here's Day 6 of my Inktober 2017 challenge! Seeing as I have most of my backlogged work organized for sharing, I figured I might as well just pick up where I left off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The title was inspired by that day's Starbucks treats at work. I had a tuxedo Salted Caramel Mocha - just about the sugariest BS you can drink, but <i>oh man</i>, was it an experience!</span>Jillian Lamberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04990560678650366480noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.5122308 -122.6587185000000245.1563568 -123.30416550000002 45.8681048 -122.01327150000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278368173487360677.post-55388312300110777572019-01-12T22:28:00.000-08:002019-01-12T22:28:43.778-08:00Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019!I let 2018 whiz past me with nary a blog post. As guilty as I felt about not sharing my art process, I had to remind myself that working full-time (usually 45+ hours a week) left me little time to prepare blog posts. And I like to share thorough blog posts!<br />
<br />
I've got a lot I still want to share. Part of me says Start Fresh and Move On. The other part of me organizes progress folders for the following projects:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1CBUQpRYQg/XDraO47X-TI/AAAAAAAAK8o/_K-fUIql3hMAfe_dQxPaQNx7b200H9UUwCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-Blog-Folders.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="609" data-original-width="1202" height="202" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1CBUQpRYQg/XDraO47X-TI/AAAAAAAAK8o/_K-fUIql3hMAfe_dQxPaQNx7b200H9UUwCLcBGAs/s400/2018-Blog-Folders.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And that's not even counting the projects I didn’t fully share in 2017, including my comics venture, "Lily's Nightmare," nor the many adventures I experienced throughout 2018. Oh, jeez.<br />
<br />
I'm on the fence about sticking with Blogger. Most of my Inktober 2016 pageviews were spam, spiking at consistent times throughout the day, week, month, and so on. In a word: discouraging. I'm considering a partial switch to Wordpress, i.e. cross-posting between platforms for better SEO.<br />
<br />
Time will tell. What do you think? Slowly work through the wealth I have stored, or New Year, New Blog?<br />

The Invertaur is a biomechanical vanguard unit hailing from my fledgling scifi story, <i>Paradigm Chimera</i>. I haven't written much for it at all, save for one creative writing prompt during college. I've slowly populated this world with more characters, however, and I enjoy returning to it!<br />
<br />
Invertaurs likely come in different classes or 'models,' but they're all MASSIVE and share a hive mind.Jillian Lamberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04990560678650366480noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.5230622 -122.6764815000000245.167192199999995 -123.32192850000003 45.8789322 -122.03103450000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278368173487360677.post-28799885332025426532017-11-05T19:02:00.002-08:002017-11-05T19:02:25.494-08:00Inktober 2017, Day 3!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Human!Twitch is fun to draw. Disgusting, but fun. Pose and quote directly inspired by a scene from <i>AKIRA</i> (the film; said scene is absent from the manga).<br />

Blogger isn't what it used to be, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't continue to update it! So, better late than never, here is Inktober, Day 1. I began with my poster girl for all things grim and gory, Decay. Added a bonus Ahklut for Thornwolf's creature challenge!<br />
<br />
Decay didn't scan well; I drew her too close to the sketchbook seam. I used to add margins to my sketchbooks to prevent this from happening, ha!Jillian Lamberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04990560678650366480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278368173487360677.post-18918853293641873362017-08-05T16:27:00.000-07:002017-08-05T16:27:01.186-07:00February Face-Fest, Room Renovations, and DIY Photo Boxes!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

February was another fickle month. I began my personal art challenge - February Face-Fest - on a good foot, and ended with few completed drawings to show for what I'd had planned. It was progress, but it often felt in vain.<br />
<br />
I found distractions to pique my interest: installing and learning how to use Linux on my old laptop; building my own photo boxes to take better photos of my prints (tested with many different items); making charms with the owl beads Mom gave me for Christmas; and preparing to upgrade to a loft bed. I participated in Fanaticon 2, which was lackluster in sales but wonderful for inspiration.<br />

August 2016 sketches drawn in preparation for my friend <a href="http://robs-daily-painting.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Robert</a>'s book cover! His novel, <i>Elder's Pride</i>, focuses on a group of <i>Smilodon fatalis</i> in the California Pleistocene. It's a fantastic read, and if you're familiar with Robert T. Bakker's <i>Raptor Red</i>, you're going to want to keep your eyes peeled.Jillian Lamberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04990560678650366480noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.5230622 -122.6764815999999945.167186199999996 -123.32192859999999 45.8789382 -122.03103459999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278368173487360677.post-16146133532062379662017-02-08T15:11:00.000-08:002018-12-31T22:50:28.893-08:0030 Day (Personal) Monster Girl Challenge (December 2016)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello, 2017. It's about time I started blogging again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Starting off with some backlogged 30 Day (Personal) Monster Girl Challenge posts. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jillianlambertart/" target="_blank">I shared most of them to my Instagram</a>, but I've included some extra progress shots. I certainly kept myself busy during December! I began at home and finished while visiting my family in California.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was the perfect opportunity to explore my characters' appearances and stories, and to include some fun creature studies and fan art.</div>

My friend, Heather - <a href="http://dailycatdrawings.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Daily Cat Drawings on Tumblr</a> - hosted a Kitten Day reblog-a-thon today as a means of calming anxieties over the results of the election. I know little Taffy doesn't have the power to heal the hurt that so many feel right now, but I hope she managed to bring smiles to the hurting.</div>

Taffy was inspired, in part, by my late cat, Gimpy. While not actually three-legged, Gimpy earned his name for his gimpy foreleg. He passed away July 2015. Although sorely missed, he brightened my life, and my brother and parents' lives, in more ways than I can count. </div>

I love using my technical pens on watercolor paper; its absorbency ensures rich, solid inks and high detail retention.

November 1st was National Self-Portrait Day and the first day of Draw Dinovember. I combined the two for silly wish-fulfillment. How awesome would it be to have a pet hummingbird raptor? :D<br />

I was going to devote November to Draw Dinovember entirely, but it's better for me to focus on my own characters.

I rarely make linocut prints anymore, but that may change now that I've finally used Speedy-Carve blocks. I'd bought a couple of them - one Blick, one Speedball - a few years ago, and they sat unused until Halloween. They are more expensive than traditional linoleum blocks, but they are SO much easier to cut! I don't have to warm them up before cutting them.<br />
<br />
At some point, I might stock up on some Speedy-Carve blocks at I've Been Framed. I love discount art supply stores!Jillian Lamberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04990560678650366480noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.5230622 -122.6764815999999945.167186199999996 -123.32192859999999 45.8789382 -122.03103459999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278368173487360677.post-10506258034242643702016-11-04T20:02:00.004-07:002016-11-04T20:02:48.986-07:00INKtober 2016, Day 28!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I love drawing the <i>Faelbe</i> - the lesser gods of my fantasy world - but I don't draw them nearly enough. The last time I drew <i>Ersphe </i>was for <a href="http://jillianlambert.blogspot.com/2013/10/inktober-day-17.html" target="_blank">day 17 of Inktober 2013</a>, my first Inktober run. But I accomplished one of my goals this year, which was to draw each of the <i>Faelbe </i>(the Five).<br />

<i>Tetzylrach Omnikan</i> (tet'ZILL rock OM'neh can), the All-Thresher, is charged with dispersing the souls of the departed from the mortal plane. They work closely with their sibling, <i>Ersphe</i>, to ensure safe passage. Unlike their siblings, who may use feminine or masculine pronouns, <i>Tetzylrach</i> prefers strictly neutral pronouns: they, their, them, or it(s).<br />
<br />
Poor <i>Tetzylrach </i>was long overdue for a portrait drawing, but this was a bit rushed, seeing as I caught up on five Inktober drawings on Halloween this year. I decided to pull more of the heron influence into their design and gave them head and chest feathers.<br />
<br />
I first drew <i>Tetzylrach </i>after a friend introduced me to <i>Final Fantasy X</i> in seventh grade. It had a HUGE impact on how I drew my fantasy world and its inhabitants. I haven't played it in years, but I had a 180+ hour game at one point! It's probably a good thing I don't play video games nowadays...Jillian Lamberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04990560678650366480noreply@blogger.com0Portland, OR, USA45.5230622 -122.6764815999999945.167186199999996 -123.32192859999999 45.8789382 -122.03103459999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278368173487360677.post-49896506724330556462016-11-02T14:26:00.003-07:002016-11-02T15:18:03.355-07:00INKtober 2016, Day 26!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Some of you may remember Herculephon! He's an old college assignment from my 2011 <a href="http://jillianlambert.blogspot.com/search/label/cleanup%20workshop" target="_blank">Cleanup Workshop</a> class. I spiffed him up and now he's bright and shiny again.<br />
<br />
There's a major error in his wing structure: primary feathers <i>do not</i> fold behind the secondaries while resting. All the reason I need to make an even better version! Usually I'm good about using reference.<br />
