Orange Tree. Drawn in Procreate on my ancient iPad. If you'd like it in your house, it's available as art prints at my INPRNT store, and on a variety of products (including phone cases, stickers and notebooks) at my Redbubble shop! www.inprnt.com/gallery/puff... www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1833...

A stylized orange tree in a small bonsai pot on an aqua-blue background. The tan trunk and branches stand tall with a slight curve. The leaves and oranges are drawn to fit in an ovaloid shape, and the leaves are a gradient of colors, from yellow-green at the top to dark blue-green at the bottom.

My interior illustration for the FFXV Wanderlust Zine! The greatest thing about being in this zine was getting to draw one of my favorite critters from the game! Created in Procreate on iPad. #finalfantasyxv #ffxvwanderlustzine

New personal painting. Inspired by the scene in Fantasia that I feel like I’ve built my entire art style and personality around.

I grew up loving and making bread. I lost so much with my celiac diagnosis but most especially I lost the joy of breadmaking. I’m hoping to get that back.

On my crossed legs, a large hardback book with a photo of a beautiful rustic load of bread on an olive green cover. The title at the top in cream text: “The Art of Gluten-Free Bread.” Below the bread photo, the subtitle and author: “Groundbreaking Recipes for Artisanal Breads and Pastries” by Aran Goyoaga. (Beyond the book’s cover, you can see my cat in the background, loafed on the floor.)

"Bouquet" My art piece for Rowan for the @charityartauction.bsky.social this year, which raised money for Doctors Without Borders. I was so excited Rowan chose Gladio; I don't get to draw him all that often! A fun event for a worthy cause. #gladiolusamicitia #finalfantasyxv

A black-and-white illustration with spots of color representing a waist-up portrait of older Gladiolus Amicitia, dressed in a fine suit and holding a bouquet of long-stem roses in his arms. He looks out at you with a soft smile. His eyes are amber, and his shirt, the roses, and the ribbon binding their stems are deep red.

My YouTube feed just pushed a video where a curator at the British Museum talks about a cuneiform tablet in the collection and the curator’s name is Irving Finkel and he looks exactly like his name sounds and he’s so excited about cuneiform tablets that I could listen to him for hours…

A cartoon drawing of a dapper balding man in round wire-rim glasses and a three-piece suit and a giant fluffy white beard, holding a rectangular tablet in one hand and gesturing excitedly with his other hand.

Day 11 of art show prep… the one that was done in the beginning is still the only one done, but I have made progress! Two in good shape, and two prepped boards waiting in the wings.

A painting of a leafless tree silhouette against a sunset. Seven black birds sit in the branches, spread out, all looking to the left.

An unfinished painting; the drawing depicts a woman leaning to the side, her hands nearly cupping her face. Two ghastly arms with long, clawed fingers ominously reach for her.

Day one of art show prep: Inventory. What do I have? What’s finished, what’s not? Of the finished stuff, what’s appropriate to the show’s theme? Of the unfinished stuff, what will work and what won’t? What materials do I have and what can be repurposed?

A butcher-block table with a bunch of painting canvases and boards laid out on it—all in various sizes and various stages of completion, from still wrapped in shrink wrap to finished.

The thing about being an artist is that you have to recognize when your art isn’t earning enough for you to live, and then do something about it—but that doesn’t make you any less an artist. There’s no shame in a day job. You can always revisit that decision when your art earns its keep.

I managed to land a job a week after I decided I needed one. In this economy. Not sure how to advise people on how to duplicate my success; pretty much every job I’ve gotten, I heard about from friends/neighbors and therefore had someone to vouch for me before I interviewed.

As someone whose family was on Medicaid during my husband’s bout of unemployment, I can tell you that the asset requirements were already brutal and encouraged perpetual poverty, and the documentation requirements were designed to get people to give up so they could be dropped from the program.

ANYWAY you know how people want less regulation on product labeling? I would rather my gluten problems come from silly me not reading the label and not mega corps not wanting to muddy up their design to tell me “processed on equipment that also processes wheat”

Visited a teeny tiny mercantile shop in a teeny tiny rural town in Idaho while traveling this weekend and I am delighted to say that this thing exists

A green plushie shaped like the state of Idaho, with a teeny smiley face, and little arms and legs. Its left hand is holding a plushie potato. It sits on top of a square bun full of identical plushies. Store shelves can be seen in the background.

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

The Letter U. Next installment of my Monster Alphabet series! #puffbirdsketchbook #monsteralphabet

A cat-like monster drawn in the shape of the letter U. The bottom curve of the U is the monster's head, with two large eyes, a nose, and a toothy mouth. The monster's long ears make up the two arms of the U, with the pointed tips of the ears folded over. The monster looks a lot like a hairless cat.

people don't see artists (musicians, writers, crafters, etc) as laborers and that's the entire problem right there people are inclined to see creativity as a hobby or downtime activity, you can't make it actual real work, what rights do you possibly want when you're being a slacker with no ambition
