Do you need someone to do the art (as dictated by you)? Because you’re right, the sheer hilarity of this is untapped gold.

if you don't have any money, you too can support artists by liking and sharing their work, telling your friends about them, reminding them to eat, taking out their trash, doing their dishes, watering their plants, feeding their pets, please help i need adult supervision—

I just want to remind everyone this is happening because Trump cut funds for the CDC program that tracks food contamination outbreaks(and the screw worm problem we still have) so they dont spread. It not only didnt help the cost of living crisis its actively harming people. Dont let MAGA forget this

I didnt really have the colors i wanted for this one, but i think i made the best of it with what i has!

Tiny canvas painting of an axolotl. Instead of the usual pink/albino, its in classic brown-grey coloration, lots of stippled dots to create a gradient. The background is a bright turquoise with a few rendered bubbles. The axolotl looks especially derpy.

Chewing gum or hard candy!!! Helps the fidgets, keeps the part of the brain that likes to wander off occupied via the sensory/repetitive motion. Doesn’t hurt to stack the deck a li, after all!

May i offer you a Weird Unicorn in these trying times?

Artist’s hand holding a tiny 2”x2” canvas with paint marker on it. It depicts a weird long snouted unicorn in shades of yellow and pink, that almost seems to glow against a black background. Theres a copper gold orb around the tip of the horn.

I’m sure I’m being dramatic here, but I’ll say it anyway: there’s something insidious about making creatives constantly jump in front of a camera to define their worth and ask you to support their art whether it is for a grant application or having people film you at events even if you don’t want it

I’ve recently been seeing fireflies every time i walk home from work. It’s delightful and I’m absolutely bragging.

Cat Caro Comics and Illustration @studyofmonsters.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I still struggle with this! I very much know it’s true, but it clashes with my desire to make beautiful polished things because i *like* to make them such. I love the craft! But… Craft doesn’t matter for much if it never gets *done*. So. I’ll keep working to find a happy personal balance.

Something something state of the world and the industry and the venn diagram they form with artistic burnout (aka a circle) VS Me feeling real inspired and motivated to create for the first time in over a year, except only for things i can’t make money off easily.

“Well we all have to do things we don’t want to—“ Look, I just wanna be *happy*. The fact that’s apparently a Big Ask is fucked up, imo.

Cat Caro Comics and Illustration @studyofmonsters.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

All the things I *want* to be making are not the things I *need* to be making, and frankly, it’s obnoxious. Where do I submit a complaint.

Guy at the pyramids called after me “sir!” No response “maam!” No response, after a few seconds he tries again “cousin!” I think we’ve cracked it. There is a gender neutral honorific.

Thank you!!! I spent so long staring at macro pictures of moss, i was like HOW DOES THIS PLANT WORK

My knives got dull halfway through and i had to do some improvising so its a touch messy, but i still had fun with it!

Black and white scratchboard piece. A salamander perches upon clumps of moss, drops of dew or rain likewise balanced on the fronds. Leaves of unseen plants peek in on the top of the piece, dripping more water that the salamander is trying to catch on its tongue
