I was gifted this beautiful piece today by @firstrain.bsky.social, a talented photographer whom I have the great privilege of calling friend, as part of her 4th #tezos anniversary mints. If you haven't done so yet, or not for awhile, go check out all her other lovely work. objkt.com/tokens/KT1LH...

It's great to see creators with influence have principles and use their platform to take a stand on important issues, and not just make every post/appearance about self-promo. YtG here for example, but also Green Day, Finneas, Tom Morello, Doechii, and more. www.instagram.com/p/DKuprBsx8w...

Day 24 wraps up the last day of advent calendar fun with a little dragon buddy, Charizard. I'm gonna miss discovering a new Pokemon every morning.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Day 23, my 2nd to last door, and out pops a 4th Eevee evolution. No wonder Eevee was front and center on the outside of the box, haha. Sylveon sure is pretty with all the pink and little ribbons and bows!

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

I got battle-ready Pikachu on Day 22, looking tough but still cute.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Lapras swam out on Day 21, the cutest little sea monster since Nessie.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

Scorbunny hopped out of the door on Day 20, with his colorful ears making him the tallest one so far.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Day 19 introduced me to Munchlax with his adorable little teeth to start my last row of doors. I'm gonna miss my morning Pokemon surprises when this last row is complete.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Didn't get to open my advent door yesterday cuz I was out of town, so here are both Day 17 and Day 18, sweetie Bulbasaur and spoony Alakazam.

010

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Aww, pink kitty! Day 16 gave me yet another cute Eevee evolution (my 4th), Espeon.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Day 15 unleashed Pidgeotto in mid-flight and ready to attack.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

I had to go to Google for my Day 14 ident, it's not in my Pokemon Pocket game. Oshawott is the tiniest little otter friend. Adorbs.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Day 13 veering back to the orangey-yellows. Arcanine is a chonky, chonky boi, at least fluff-wise! I almost didn't think he'd fit out of the door. 😂

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

Umbreon was hiding in the dark behind my Day 12 door, but I saw the golden markings glowing from the shadows. Come here you adorable little void! 😍

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Day 11: With each advent door I think I've found my new favorite Pokemon...and then I open the next door, haha. Lucario is definitely one super cool fox!

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Squirtle on Day 10 makes this definitely the week of the blues.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Opening Day 9 to be greeted by Horsea was a treat. Such a smol blue cutie.

010

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

It was nice to open Day 8 and see a color other than yellow, haha. Piplup isn't a very pleasing word to say, so I'll prob call him Pippy, but regardless he sure is cute!

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Day 7 is on fire! 🔥 Welcome to the cute squad, little Ponyta, with your nifty flaming hair.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Day 6 brings Dragonite, one of my faves so far. Side view included for this little cutie's tail and smile details.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Pretty!!! Day 5 gave me Leafeon...who I didn't know was a character until today, but now I love her.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Day 4, sweet little Charmander getting his flame on.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Not my fave, but Psyduck joins the team on Day 3.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

And the cuteness keeps on coming in Day 2.

WillowTree226 @willowtree226.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Look at this super adorable Funko advent calendar I bought myself. Day 1 is a cute little Caterpie. I'm not a mega Pokemon fan, so I'm gonna have to look up who the characters are each day, but their cuteness is undeniable.

Today's old #nftart share is the brief mental health series I started in 2021. I'd intended to make at least 2 more of these illustrations, so perhaps the series will get added to when I'm in the right head space. Left: World Closing In Right: Mirrors Lie Links in Comments. #tezos #nftartist
