4 billion years of fixing inorganic carbon in the biosphere. Sometimes mistakes O2 for CO2. Not as fast as some enzymes, but very abundant. Here, have some phosphoglycerates about it.

    Try unique reactions next. For example: a grimace, an eyes-closed gut-busting laugh, an angry shout, a Spock eyebrow raise, someone brushing their teeth or about to inhale a big sandwich, blowing a kiss or whistling, etc.
    Find a reaction gif or meme that speaks to you and draw it.
    Jon Stewart is fun to draw.

    Also, try drawing hands, feet, trees, and insects.

    I look forward to your future work; you’ve got a great start here!

    This is a poison garden.

    Hemlock, henbane, poison ivy, khat, giant hogweed, poppy, stinging nettle, yew, rhododendron, and many other toxic plants can be found in a poison garden.

    Why? In old times, to make medicine, probably. The difference between poison and medicine is often dosage/timing. These days it’s mainly for educational purposes. Gets folk into botany, helps prevent poisonings, teaches respect for nature.

    As one would imagine, they require special care to maintain.

    The sculptures reminded me of Bene Gesserit, so naturally my next thought went to poison needles and dangerous caretakers.
