I've been obsessed with Massachusetts's pine barrens recently. It's such a strangely beautiful place! The sandy dunes provide a unique inland habitat for fire-adapted species rich in insects and birds like whip-poor-wills. #ecology #sandbarrens #pinebarrens

Ugh, I was using old video software to edit my clips, and after hours of work the program auto-updated, and now it crashes constantly. I can't roll it back! >.< I miss the days before enshittification. It was from 2018 with updates from 2025 or so but it was working fine until now.

🤚🏼wasnt sure what you mean by "regular." Mine has been episodes since about last year or so. The diagnosis keeps changing. POTS/migraines/Long COVID/perimenopause/low blood pressure. Salt sometimes helps mine but sometimes it just lasts 🤷🏼‍♀️

Happy International Fox Day! Here's a piece I finished last year "Foxheart" that's part of a series inspired by the work of astronaut Alan Bean. I hand-carved paw prints out of rubber to press into the paint. #fox #AnimalArt #AcrylicPainting #Painting #Artist #NoAIArt #texture

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

I love making wrap-around paintings because you can get fun effects like this (not to mention, it's kinda nice not needing a frame?) I need to plot out some more like this before the local small works shows start again! #Fox #Surreal #AcrylicPainting #NoAIart #TraditionalArtist

It's ok to be discouraged but you cannot let a feeling allow you to throw the whole thing out, perfect is the enemy of the good. You still have some power to make a difference!

I love texture. I was playing around with a crackle medium that reminded me of reptile skin; it was more subtle than I expected! The background is painted with it, but it just adds some complexity. I love reptiles; I need to paint them more! #AcrylicPainting #Painting #Tortoise #Reptile #Herps

This piece by @k-u-r-0-i.bsky.social was the piece that, in part, inspired me to create my piece, “Smolder” in 2019. It was such a striking piece and is still a personal favorite of theirs. Go check them out and drop a follow!

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

hallo, congratulations on the 10k!! that's so exciting. here's my sturffffffff

a woman floats underwater with her hair strewn everywhere. a halo surrounds her head and casts caustic lighting on her body.

a woman sits upon a marble pedestal and looks out into the distance. billowing fabric surrounds her while a halo sits in the background.

a woman cradles a halo in her hands as she looks away. long hair drapes over her and falls to the ground.

HUGE congrats Emily!! I know you had to rebuild just like the rest of us, so this is fantastic you're getting there! Here's a few artworks of mine to celebrate!

A landscape of a city that is demolished. The buildings in the foreground are on fire and burning. Rubble flanks a broken up street as a lonely man walks in the distance towards where a ghostly forest overtakes the landscape.

A nude man sitting in a meadow amongst the forest at night, viewer at his back. He is sitting on his haunches, stretching both arms upwards, and has a thin white unicorn horn emerging off his forehead, as well as a thin, whiplike unicorn tail.

Two people silhouetted against a backdrop of a burning city, flame nipping at their backs and shoulders. They are standing non-chalantly, shadowed besides their glowing eyes. A woman is to the left, body facing the right, but face facing the viewer. She is holding a pistol in one hand. A man is to the right, body facing the woman to the left, but face facing the viewer. He is holding a cigarette.

Congrats on the 10k! Always love an #ArtShare! Lately I'm doing a lot of work on my Floral Court Dragons! So have a few of them <3 #Dragons #Watercolor #FantasyArt

Watercolor Painting of a dragon head and neck in mottled greens. The dragon has a crown of tulips and is bordered on either side by tulips. The tulips are shades of reds, pinks, oranges, and peach. The dragons eyes are gold and it is looking at the viewer with their mouth half open.

Watercolor painting of a dragon head facing left with a garland of pink peonies around it's head. The dragon has grey scales, multiple horns, and gold eyes, the background is wood, and the colors are subtle and get less detailed at the edges.

Round watercolor painting which has a silvery cream background and the foreground is a dragon with it's head turned to the left and slightly away. The dragon is green with a cream throat, dark brown, spotted ears, with tan by his mouth and on his horn. The dragon has a fluffy mane filled with peachy art nouveau ribbons bound with gold rings, blue beads, and silver fittings, and is full of lavender blooms.
