Illustration is a major task in my day job, but I'm always sad that I can't share what I'm working on. I got to illustrate two operating principles this week and it was so fun. Basically they show how the machine works using a cutaway method.

Going to attempt to clear my current queue before my trip on the 21st - but I'm open for November-December commissions as well. Order before November, and get a 20% off coupon for any holiday/winter-themed commissions.☃️ [ #art #commissionsopen ]

Ai bros hate artists because deep down they know they have no goals, no dreams, & nothing that they truly love. It’s a dark void that eats & gnaws at them so they lash out at those that have that spark. All they want is to drag you down with them to prove that it’s all hopeless

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's devastating, loosing a pet. Try to take care of yourself as best as you can. Chewy mailed me a card when my boy Oreo passed. They're a great company.

It has been a lot of fun developing my “cave art” style. In the context of my story, the most common cave art does not depict eyes, as it is considered a taboo to include them. It is thought to bind the soul of the creature depicted and thus, cause their spirit to be angry.

An illustration of a four armed monster that represents the artist's immune system. It has beige colored skin that turns glowing blue near its hands and claws. It has horns, and wild red hair with a drooling mouth of fiercely sharp teeth.

Both situations either way don't need that kind of response. You can't simply tell someone to stop feeling stressed about anything. From work, to unemployment, college, or live. It's weird. It's not comforting. You could just let people vent and listen.

This is Immune System's "low grade illness" mode, where she tackles things like a cold. She also has a "fever mode" where she gets huge and red.

Reposting this because I'm sick and trying to conjure up my immune system again! Thankfully it's just a cold, but the fatigue is so real. #art #digitalart
A digital illustration of a demonic looking entity emerging from a membrane of red flesh. It has four hands with glowing blue claws, big curved horns, and a bright blue tongue with a mouth full of sharp teeth. It is the artist's interpretation of their immune system.

In the book The Science of Discworld II: The Globe, Terry Pratchett, along with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen suggest that "homo sapiens" is wrong for a species that so rarely exhibits signs of wisdom. Instead: "pan narrans", the storytelling ape, because that is what we're really good at.

Women have reached a breaking point. After decades of abusive men and abusive institutions. Lifetimes being ignored by doctors, victim blamed by police and controlled bodily by the government. After Me Too, the Epstein files and the overturn of Roe V wade- Cornell just shattered the camels back.

Just gotta get this out so I don't dwell on it: Once we're all on the other side of this political shitshow, we've gotta do something about men. I know toxic masculinity is often used as a punchline, but it's been an integral part in establishing the current regime we're all suffering through.

#postaday2026 #artsky #blueskyart #bskyart #art #photography #fungi #mushrooms #caked I’ve been too wired to draw, so photos! Some very caked fungi in the orchard. 🍄‍🟫🍑😁💜
A colour photo of two round brown pebble texture mushrooms that have grown together, so they look like a butt. There is sorrel growing to the right, and long leaves of grass around the left and bottom of the image. 
Colours are green and light brown.
(Not sure the species of fungi, I’m allergic, I don’t eat any of them, so identification is less important to me. It might be a puffball.)

I don't think I ever talked about this, but The Little Mermaid 2 holds a special place in my heart growing up as a neurodivergent little girl. How often is the fantasy of "I don't feel human, I don't fit in. I wish I was secretly a mythical creature." within neurodivergent kids...

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

I really feel the left one. The workplace grind is such a hamster wheel. And I have empathy for the right because it's equally tough with higher burnout.

This might be weird to say but the fact you can just watch a movie and be told a story anytime you want is kind of amazing at its core. Humans love being told stories that much.
