Progress slowly continues on the expie cosplay, but in the meantime I have decided what my donation for @ane.boston's 2027 charity auction will be! I got giften a ton of grey fur which I am going to use to make an OC from @wingleafworkshop.bsky.social's 5ft anthro plushie pattern #furry #furryart

I've made a mistake but realized it in time for Pride Month! I never tagged this sticker as a sticker, so it wasnt showing up on my Stickers page 😩 which explains why they were only selling in person. You can get your own in time for pride here: darkerhorse.art/products/pro... #queerart #pride

Tried my hand at a real #linocut linoleum block. My hands were sore after, but the detail is great. I think I will stick to speedycarve for most cuts 😅 Still getting the hand of sharpening my tools.

Wanna hear something funny? I'm not very smart 😅. While doing my math for donations I accidentally donated 40% to Trans Lifeline (plus a little extra) and forgot to split it for the Trevor Project. So we ended up giving 60 PERCENT of our sales to the featured charities! #transrights #queerart
