Astro-axolotl - Bubblegum Punk

The top part of a red brick building with two rows of balconies, each with three glass doors leading inside. The bannisters are black iron bars. In the top left balcony, a person with long pink hair leans against the front bannister. She wears a purple leather jacket, blue jeans, and black combat boots, and stares off in the distance. A cigarette hangs in between her left index and middle finger. Smoke rises towards the dawn sky. In the background, the Denver skyline stands beneath the gray Rockies.

A morning cigarette after a party.

A white beta fish curved in a c shape on a black background. Its gray shiny eye stares at the viewer. Its semi-transparent fins contain arms of galaxies and scattered stars.

Galaxy Betta Fish.

Iron is only formed in the hearts of dying stars, and its a key component of vertebrate blood. This fish, like all of us, is made of star-stuff and the galaxies in its fins reflect that.

But astro-axolotl why a fish when all vertebrates have iron in their blood? Good question. The answer is I just really, really like fish.

A gray tabby cat with a white chest, black nose, and gray-green eyes lying on a blue mat. The background is a pale blue. His name is Myles.

My roommate's cat, the magnificent Myles. He's adorable and I love him so much.

A dark blue werewolf silhouetted against a full slightly orange moon in a dark blue sky. Their ears are back and they're looking down sadly at their right hand's claws. Written on an arc above the moon is "You're a Werewolf" in scratches. Below the moon on an arc is written "and I'm a full moon." The lyrics are from "Be Nice to Me" by the Front Bottoms.

I like werewolves. I like song lyrics. I see song lyrics about sad werewolves: I draw. Lyrics are from "Be Nice to Me" by the Front Bottoms.

Two girls sit cross-legged across from each other on a dark wooden floor. Behind them is a green wall with gray siding. The girl on the left rests right elbow on her knee and rests her cheek in her hand. Her pink eyebrows wrinkle over her gray eyes with concern. Her pink hair hangs over her forehead. There's a bandaid on her visible cheek. She's wearing a light gray, oversized long-sleeved shirt which is torn at the right elbow, revealing various scars and one fresh bandage and gauze pad. Her sweatpants are dark gray and her socks are white. The black girl on the left supports the pink-haired girl's left elbow as she continues wrapping a bandage around a cut that goes from mid bicep to mid forearm. The pink haired girl's hand hangs limp-wristed inches from the medic's chest. The medic wears blue overalls with a red cross stitched on the front, black socks and a red and black checkered flannel. The cuff of the flannel's sleeve drops just enough to reveal a bandage around her left wrist. Her focused gaze and the bandaids on her cheek and nose-bridge contrast with the woolen frog hat on her head. It has black button eyes. Her hair is short and black.

A black teenage girl stands sideways pointing a Wild West pistol at the camera. A round lilac sigil glows around the muzzle. The sigil's outer ring is filled with triangles. The inner circle is filled with five circles with dots in the middle arranged in a pentagon. The circles are connected by lines. A black poncho billows out behind her. Two violet straps studded with bullet holders cross over her chest. She wears a white long sleeved shirt and brown pants. A black cowboy hat with a violet ribbon shades her stern eyes and sterner expression. Her black dreads wave in the breeze. Behind her, the red desert sand stretches to the horizon which ripples in the fading heat of sunset.

Introducing Violet Death, the most terrifying teenage gunwitch in the whole West. Her truth bullet will make you spill your guts-- in both senses of the phrase.
