I'm going to change my banner soon but here's the current one. Walker fan art from a few years ago of Geri at the Side Step Bar. This was a step away from my usual style and was a lot of fun to draw.

Illustration of the Side Step Bar from the show Walker. It is mostly dimly lit with stringed Christmas lights and overhead soft light chandeliers. There is a neon sign of beer bottle with lime wedge and other neon signs on the wall that read "Side Step Bar", "Texas Bar" and "Open 7 Days". Other wall decorations include a moose head, traffic Yield sign, the Texas state flag, Speed Limit 30 sign, and a boar head.
In the centre is a woman pouring a bar pouring a drink and bottles on the bar countertop. In front are bar chairs, a keg and a tray of glasses resting on top of a milk crate.

Ignore the screen bubbles. I partially peeled it off earlier today.

Upside: I don’t have to worry about buying a $500 replacement. Downside: all the reviews for replacement screen protectors suck.

For 2 years, my XP Pen display had a scratched screen so I stopped using it. Today I was looking into a comparable compact display and realized… there was a screen protector on it THE WHOLE TIME. I just need to replace it. Omg.

A drawing display tablet sits on a wooden table top and green craft mat. In the top left corner, my hand is peeling part of the plastic clear screen protector off the black display area. There is a bit of glare from an overhead light on the screen as well as air bubbles between the protective film and screen.

Any suggestions for a Print On Demand service that does tees/ clothing? Current service I used messed up my order TWICE. I know Threadless is the popular one but looking for all options. Bonus if it’s Canadian.

Hope that helps. Maybe incorporate a winding down routine like box breathing, or reflection. Mix and match. 💤

Chamomile tea? Melatonin? Finding a chill playlist on whatever music subscription you’re using? A warm shower before bed and if you can find eucalyptus shower pucks (like aromatherapy) even better. Hope this helps.

This might be a reach but I’ll try anyway. If you see this, post your marine-themed art!

11 views of a capsule shaped submarine. The top of the sub is yellow and the bottom is grey. There are two round windows on each side and a windshield on the front. The back views of the sub shows a propeller with 4 blades.

Designing stuff.

Character design turnaround of "Diver Duncan". Top row depicts Duncan in his full diver outfit, the bottom with his diving suit half off and around his waist. In the top right corner are close ups of his head with and without his diver mask. A colour chart is underneath the head close ups.

Ugh. I forgot his dive knife!

UPDATE - added a cutting instrument with garter on his right calf. 13 Character pose sheet of Diver Duncan with character colour chart in the bottom right corner. He is wearing a purple dry suit. In some poses he is wearing an additional black vest, and in theee poses his suit is half off and tied at his waist and is wearing a white tank top. In some poses, he is wearing a diving mask with a headlamp that shines yellow light. He is also wearing an air tank in the poses where he is wearing his full gear.

Hi new followers! I’ve been in the animation industry since 2012. Most of those years within the storyboard dept - however, the past few years have been slow. I’m based in the GTA and working on my own animated project.

It's so discouraging to post art when you see how fucked up the ratio of like to repost is. Just please, do the second click, it's literally few seconds and does so much more for struggling artists.

Doodle of my sona Meh pointing at repost/reblog button with their finger. There is "this one is important" written near them.

Sometimes I like technical drawing ~Many hours later~ Why did I choose pain? (I’m satisfied with the WIP, it’s just one of those pieces that take longer than expected and now I just want it to be done).

A picture taken on an angle of my computer screen. On the display is a black and white technical drawing of a fictional submarine from 10 different angles. There is also a grid and perspective guidelines on the working area. On the left edge of the screen is the toolbar and along the top, program menus. Along the bottom are Mac icons.

Studies. I like dialogue scenes From Supernatural 11x12

Pencil drawings on a sketchbook page. 15 Thumbnail drawings of scenes from Supernatural season 11 episode 12. Below the book is a blue pencil, brown eraser and a beige pencil case.

Once, I was unsubscribing from a pet store mailing list and the “We’re sorry to see you go” page had a photo of a sad puppy under a raincloud.

And then you have to go through 10 steps of unsubscribing where they guilt you for leaving and try to bribe you with offers and when you finally unsubscribe, it doesn’t work because you still get the emails and now it doesn’t filter into a “promotions” folder and it gets lost with important emails.

Looks even closer at the map… Did someone ask a Martian that visited Earth that one time to get wasted on spring break to draw a map of North America from memory?

Kirsten Whiteley @thevitamink.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

As someone who knows generally where New Tecumseth, Ontario is… that’s not where New Tecumseth, Ontario is… Looks closer at the map… Pretty sure that’s not where a lot of cities are. What the hell is this?

Every day, I ask her “Why are you so cute???” and she never answers. Rude.

A dark grey short-haired dog (mutt) with semi-erect ears and amber eyes looks above camera. She is standing on a rug with a dog crate behind her. Behind her is a light brown hardwood floor and dining table chairs.

this part just hurts me so much. Like environmentally. so many useless stupid people running these are just baking the planet for what, pictures made by no one, for no one, which will be looked at by no one, appreciated by no one, and some poor sucker in kansas has no water pressure in a heat wave

This account made over 100 posts yesterday, made over 100 replies yesterday, had no break greater than 2 hours yesterday. I don't know how much they're posting this AI shit but it's a lot

Lottery commercials be like: This Friday’s Jackpot is 65 mil! Time to start dreaming of a mansion with a moat, helicopter pad, elaborate topiary, and trips to your private island!!!!! Me: I just want bills paid and to buy a bunch of artist merch, and have nice room to do my art.

Anniversary gift from my husband!!! 🤩 I know there’s a live action Scooby show in the works but I really wish it was this. This would suit a mini series format so well.

A picture of the cover of “Scooby Doo Apocalypse” Omnibus. On the cover is Daphne (top. Wearing a green bandanna over her mouth, green goggles, and purple shirt. She is holding a large sic-fi gun.) On the left is Fred wearing an orange bandanna, white tee shirt and holding a sci-fi machine gun). On the right is Shaggy (wearing a plaid shirt, glasses with green lenses and is holding a submarine sandwich. Bottom left is Velma (wearing large glasses, an orange turtleneck, red sweater over top and holding a smartphone). Bottom right is Scooby wearing a high tech lense over his right eye.
