There's a chance Hurricane Isaias could swerve into my town. Hopefully will be uneventful but forecast looks rough. Guess we'll be camped in my office for a bit. Time to draw dogs

Got to examine some of my most influential puppets today :, ) I've always wanted to do design for stop motion and these guys were some of my earliest special interests

Brother I am tired of being disabled by heat sensitivity while living in Georgia

Photo of a watercolor sketchbook page depicting a blue coyote in a depressive state.
The coyote looks out across a lamp lit room at a door cracked open to a dark hallway. Text: "sitting in my office late at night, a terrible ache along my neck- I wonder if this depression will ever lift?"
Below the coyote is laying down looking miserable. Text: "any feeling of joy seems suspended. All my energy is gone. I've been trapped in one room due to heat and illness. Well, at least He'll is cool."

Boy global warming in the south while disabled is not going okay. Despite multiple ACs my home has been reaching 91F the past days and I finally hit heat exhaustion today while being in a tiny ac'd room. It was touch and go for a minute as it kept trying to creep toward heat stroke. Inside. Inside!

Great thread and also: message folks and let them know when you're behind. Even if/especially if it's indefinitely People don't want to be forgotten about. They don't want to chase you. But having no updates or communication makes them feel really lost. It also makes you think about the commissions

I got my first pay from being a resident artist at a physical store so I treated myself to some decent travel brushes. Goodness these things are pricey but curious how higher quality brushes will feel. Going to christen them with dogman smut

I've been fairly absent with efforts on my store, patreon, emails etc the past year (esp since Kalma died). Im trying my best to get back to these but I've been in critical energy deficit for years, and im struggling. We keep uncovering layer after layer of how bad my PTSD is and its.. (eyebags)

Feels eerie that the fellow freaks & queers lost two of their most beloved icons at the same time, but also... weirdly fitting, if that's not too inappropriate of a comment? Glad they were here and had so much influence on the world, people I love, and myself.

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

Artfight attack for @coyoteprince.bsky.social of Degaré

A digitally colored ink drawing of a great black dog with a human head. He has thick black fur, long legs, a long hairy tail, and big floppy ears. His eyes are a bright piercing pink, and he wears a black collar with a bell. The texture of the ink drawing is visible under the digital color.

another revenge on @coyoteprince.bsky.social :> a silly meme comic featuring Degare and Waite (along with my Sopping Wet Sona™ lol) #artfight #art #grinart #comic

A comic

Panel 1: 2 people (Degare: a tall thin person with red eyes and long ears, and Waite: a shorter stout ghostly person) stand out front from a house. Waite holds his hands in front of his face, letting out a “GASP!”

Panel 2: Waite looks back to Degare while pointing at a chibi doodle of my sona that has big wet eyes. Waite says “Can I pet that Dawg?!” while Degare gives him a flat look, hand on his hip.

Absolutely THIS. People think a dollar or two isn't "real"support, or isn't enough and like no no, IT IS ACTUALLY SO MUCH bc it adds up! It feels like just the $1 on your end, but on our end it ends up being $10 or $100 or even $1000s A dollar goes farther than you think

Art Fight against @coyoteprince.bsky.social I wanted to draw something spooky... I mean... it's just a normal photograph of a man holding a dog... wait!?!

Moody illustration of a short large man holding a thin black hound. The hound has a human head. Both of them have a hint of eerily flame like eyes.

>explaining anxiously that I just escaped prolonged abuse and need help "You can't even drive?... I dunno, how do I know you're not lying or hallucinating." Then went on to say "yeah had a guy so messed up they made a movie about him." And prescribed me less than 25mg Sertraline. For PTSD. Lmao

Not sure if it's just my own borked nervous system but I've been wondering a lot how Millenial-Gen Z existential dread compares to past generations. As peers age I'm seeing more people struggle with surviving illness or new medical needs and ofc the "joke" that our retirement plan is just.. death

I finished 18 pieces for #artfight2026 in gouache, fairly new to me. My goal was just to improve color but it ended up helping me learn about myself, giving me a direction out of creative burn out and resparking an excitement to create again.

Who would win? A giant dog monster or a fat autistic guy

Scan of a sketchbook comic. A large sphinx dog looms and growls over a reclining man with a smug look. The man boops the dog's nose before smooshing his cheeks and mockingly feigning fear. The sphinx rolls over into the man's lap to accept pets.

Since the last time I did artfight it seems Ive mentally grown; I got overwhelmed in the past but don't take it too seriously now (good!). Learning lots about gouache and even my own interests quickly. Sometimes you just need to draw someone's blorbo to shake the rust loose I guess

Got an incredibly sweet comment on art fight about how several years ago when they were 14, how much it meant to them I drew their oc. I experienced similar when I was a kid so I've been thinking about it all week. Ow aging but it's one of those things that give you drive to keep trying
