Took a year to complete this quilt! Pattern is by NASA Astronaut Karen Nyberg called Cupola View. Fabrics used were also designed by Karen, the collection is called Earth Views.




If you're looking for some artwork, I'd love a chance to work with you! Please reach out any time via email at [email protected] or through DM. I'm also happy to answer any questions and the link below leads to my commissions page with lots more information and a commission form.

Working on a Cassandra piece, here's the sketch! I'm going to fully render it, but it may take awhile (my wrist is getting better, but isn't 100% yet).
I love the season so far, but my god it is stressing me out!

I have one slot for atmospheric sketch scene rn, like these ones (halfbody) for 100 usd (still trying to collect for therapy debt (I'm slowly making it, but it's not super fast as I keep on going on therapy too x) and also have some unexpected vet bills) AAAND I really want to go more into vibes !


I'm trying to get back into oil painting after over a decade of never using them. I'm surprised it turned out as good as it did, while also thinking it's much worse than my normal work. I've only done digital for so long I pretty much have to relearn traditional. That said, it was so fun to work on and I'm absolutely going to do more!

More than 60% of the global population that are classified as the Phase 5 famine/catastrophe level of food insecurity and starvation are in the Gaza Strip right now, and that percentage is projected to increase to 95% by Februrary
Hello! I wanted to talk about the lack of art updates on this blog in case anyone has noticed and is wondering if this is the new norm.
Last year was a bit rough, and my personal work suffered for it. My cat passed away at the beginning of last year, and it all went downhill from there. Any creative drive I had left went solely into work.
But, I'm in a much better place now! I'm also recovering from a wrist injury, but once it's fully healed you can expect more art updates (the only thing stopping me from drawing Fantasy High fanart is the wrath of my physiotherapist).
Also I adopted two cats! Look at them!



Good news, fellow artists! Nightshade has finally been released by the UChicago team! If you aren't aware of what Nightshade is, it's a tool that helps poison AI datasets so that the model "sees" something different from what an image actually depicts. It's the same team that released Glaze, which helps protect art against style mimicry (aka those finetuned models that try to rip off a specific artist). As they show in their paper, even a hundred poisoned concepts make a huge difference.




(Reminder that glazing your art is more important than nighshading it, as they mention in their tweets above, so when you're uploading your art, try to glaze it at the very least.)
Petition for Canada to stop arming Israel
In case you haven’t seen it yet: here’s a petition for Canada to stop arming Israel. https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-4745

does anyone know if i can like block sites from appearing in my google images searches??? i keep getting those awful ai generated things with a hand coming out of a man's neck and just straight up not what i was looking for, because this was in a search for "curly hair in medieval paintings". it happens every time i search for anything vaguely art-reference-like and it's so fucking annoying and it clutters my search results so much. i don't wanna add specific commands to the query every time too, what i need is like a browser extension or something
i know vitamin c basically neutralizes adhd meds but lemonade good
handmade drawing references :)


















I took these pictures mainly to analyze my hand structure. Feel free to use them for your art, if you'd like to!
This is so amazing!!! 💜💜💜💜

Thanks to @larndraws for letting me get her amazing salt goblin as a tattoo!! And thanks to @quiddie and the pack of pixies for A Court of Fey and Flowers, which I'm pretty sure rewired some of my brain out of pure love!
part of being an ally to trans men is not being a dick to cis men for their appearance btw
