I’ve been trying to articulate for days now two beliefs about problematic artists. 1. It is counterproductive to react to news an artist you like is problematic by immediately acting like their art has always been bad. 2. Some art only works if you believe the creator is an OK person.

I got a new toy. Cats like it. Got it to relax with on hot days when my bedroom's the only place in the apartment with an air conditioner.

A black cat sits in the middle of a queen size bed covered in purple sheets, blankets and pillows. The room is mostly dark, with the only light coming from a very bright purple light show being projected from the foot of the bed. There's bisexual and gender queer pride flags on the wall, dark purple curtains, and a portable air conditioner, all bathed in the purple glow of the light show..

Been working on this series for a couple of months, in between writing gigs. Love how it's turned out. Once again, enjoying your own art is a fantastic feeling. #painting #acrylics #zodiac #astrology #art

A set of 12 small paintings arranged into a square to form one large piece of art. Each painting depicts the symbol for one of the 12 signs of the western zodiac, ringed in bright colors associated with that sign.

The same collection as previous, viewed from further back to show its placement on an otherwise blank apartment wall.

The same image as previous, only now the paintings are flanked by two large framed posters, one depicting the Pathfinder setting continent of Tian Xia, and the other the Starfinder home galaxy, Desna's Path.

Storms on workdays are fun. Weather in the Puget Sound tends to move west to east, and I'm one of the furthest west WFH employees in the area, so when the storm blows in I get to go, "Oo storm" in the work chat and then watch everyone else chime one by one in over the next 2 hours as it reaches them

Laudatory feedback never goes amiss. And it tends to spur on more of the stuff you like. Now maybe a friend, a peer, or a recognized critic can assume their critique is welcome. Maybe. Not everyone's gonna like your stuff. That's cool. I assume most people don't. Luckily, I don't make it for them.

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom
