Detail from "Omniscience," watercolor  by Holly Morningstar. 
[Image Description: A close up portrait of a feminine-appearing person with darker skin, blue eyes and facial paint, and dark purple hair.  They appear to be pressing a piece of fabric against their cheek and lips, but the fabric is made of the nebulae and stars of space.]
