I don’t know how to communicate that I’m in good spirits, I’m doing my best to make art, and that private health business mixing with a rare work opportunity is keeping me from doing so. I wish I could hold an open studio so people see I have been working literally as often as possible.

I love how in this land of AI websites will pull a post from one or two years ago where I said I "killed myself getting this project done, but here it is!" and spam me INCESSENTLY with "please don't kill yourself there's help also everyone has to be 18 to see that post now" messages.

Rhetorical question: Are there any creatives not figuring out they're autistic/ADHD/perimenopausal in 30s-40s? Not rhetorical: Ran out of therapy utility. Fixed brain chemistry. Still not magically fixed."What if I'm AuDHD [for very good extensive reasons]?" *tries their coping/therapy* Oh. Oooh...

Nothing like coming back from your trip to be unable to find your 18 year old cat and spending several minutes terrified she has died. She was asleep in the window. And mad I woke her up. :P

I am watching the DragonCon parade on TV today and my god. I love art. I love cosplay. I love enthusiasm. I love creativity. I love cons for people coming together in an absolute tsunami of creative fun. It’s JUST SO MUCH FUN! Every age! Every ability set! Every skill set!

Begging and pleading for furry cons to start giving complimemtary badges with tables like other cons do. Especially as they start charging $3-500+ for spots and $100+ for badges. My mom is helping me for 3 hours and I might have to pay an extra $100 for that. This feels really shitty.

I am doing a promised raven head/mask project for my partner for DragonCon and I do not remember super cerebral/engineering activities being this exhausting. Felt the same redoing the barn owl mask instructions so they’d be ready for Halloween. I wonder if I’m “out of shape” but of tasks/the mind.

If I ever go to a convention again as an artist I think this may be how it goes. Every time I go to DragonCon for fun I still lock up in the artist alley.

I'm still proud of this piece. I love the way the colors vibrate and how much it looks unplaceably retro. If I had gobs of executive function, someone else to do all my chores, and however much money so I could freely waste supplies learning...I'd want to get into multi-color prints like this.

For many years, it was assumed that the prehistoric cave paintings of people, mammoths and hunting scenes were created by men. Analysis of the handprints often used to "sign" these paintings now suggest that most of the artists were women. #CelebratingWomen

🔹 Lineflow Raven 🔹Mixed media on paper on panel, 4.5” x 3.5” An experimental painting on some cool handmade paper that tends to pull ink and watercolor down beneath the surface layer. Original available: sasharjones.com/store/linefl...
A realistic painting of a raven head with some stylization playing up the flow of forms. The raven is a deep rich blue with accents of violet, teal, and gold on a sandy tan background, and veins of white and gold flow throughout the paper the piece is painted on.

I learned a couple days ago that estrogen binds to levothyroxine. I got “worse” because I basically was canceling out medications… Oops. No. My doctor did not say anything. I’ve taken them as far apart as possible the last two days & am feeling better. So uh. Check your drug interactions kids.

One sign of a good webcomic can be anguish when you get a new update each week because you desperately want to turn the page /but there are no pages to turn/. Oren's Forge, Golden Shrike, The Devil's Demons, and Our Fierce Differences are all tormenting me to know what happens next this week.

A local business is hosting a contest for a sticker design with a $100 gift card and it’s like…why don’t you just pay an artist you like for one? What happens to all the submissions you don’t choose but you were sent print quality copies of (as per contest rules)? Why is commissioning so taboo?

My family visited last week & it was a lot. My relationship with them is extremely complicated, but I think that was the first time that nothing had gone painful. I'm not really seen as who I am by them & having something that WAS me and something I valued looked at was...weird. #art #comic #artist
Page one of a multi panel comic. Panel one: anthro tiger character thinking to themselves, "One of my parents did something weird recently. I'm 39. I've been an artist a long...long time. Done it as a job for ten years. My parents do not ask me about my art. One of them a few years ago asked if I still made art. You know. My job. That one hurt."

Panel two: The anthro tiger character continues to think while staring at the sky, "For some strange reason I cannot fathom one of them actually asked me about my art. They said my other parent had told them my art was making money. They were impressed. It made money the whole time."Page two of a multipanel comic. Panel one: the tiger anthro has a confused expression surrounded by question marks. They narrate, "I didn't get mad. I think I was too confused to register what was happening. So I showed them. The pewter. The mask patterns. The work files. The pyrography and carvings. They started asking questions. Showing them one thing prompted more questions. Often asking how I do it. So I answered those questions too. At one point they exclaimed in awe that the patterns had to be hundreds of hours of work. They are. None of it was new."

Panel two: a closeup of the tiger anthro's hand working on a cool skull drawing. They narrate, "It was really weird. I can remember being "warned" of calling demons with my art in middle school because I drew tiger skulls with blood tears. Cringe maybe, hardly demonic. I learned not to share and had no real interest in their approval anyway." A speech bubble from the tiger says, "Hee hee this is going to be so cool <3"

Panel three: The anthro tiger shrugs leaning upwards and thinks, "I have no idea what they thought I'd been doing these last 27 years. Decided it ultimately didn't matter."Third and final page of a multipanel comic. Panel one: The tiger anthro sits upright and thinks, "It was nice. I didn't need it. I was put on this earth to make art whether it was seen or not."

Panel two: The anthro tiger character is running across grass and calling their two dogs, "You boys wanna go inside?". A final thought narration from the tiger is, "I didn't make all that stuff sitting around. If I wanna make more then I better get inside and get started."

I prettied this one up in a way that would be sane to carve for linocut if I ever change my mind and get a chance to in the future. #rabbit #gore #bodyhorror #blood #monochromatic #printmaking #linocut
a heavily stylized rabbit with its viscera exposed done in a woodcut/linocut style. It's primarily black and white with geometric designs in the background; only the rabbit's eye and organs are red.  The rabbit's body is twisting; its forelimbs are pointed to the left & are rightside up while its back limbs are pointed to the right and facing upwards. Its head is likewise twisted 180 degrees to face to the right. It's eye is perfectly circular and wide open with a small dot for the pupil. The viscera follows the flow of the line created by the twisting body.

...I have almost zero context for what this is. I apparently drew it sometime last year. #art #sketch #comic
Unfinished art of a two panel comic. One character points ferociously; the other knowingly smiles. About what nobody knows because the context has been lost.
