I wrote a comment yesterday, it takes all of 5 minutes to write something. GLAAD has great suggestions, so definitely read the link!

At Santa Rosa Zine Fest I sold this delightful friend to someone who was looking for a mother's day present. She didn't want her mom to skip leg day 😅 #godzilla #dontskiplegday #doodle #sketch #art

Congrats, Google. We now have unreliable AI narrators of impoverished information sources, representing their hallucinations as truth. I'm glad I learned to use a card catalog when I was a kid, because fuck this. I'm going to the library. (3/3)

gonna start calling google's glasses "wormtongue"

OpenAI and other LLM companies are plundering the archives of news publications and media companies to train their models to replace journalists, authors, and creators. Critics (and booing college grads) are scared and pissed. Where have our authentic voices gone? (1/3)

HR 2616, text below, just passed today in the House. Now it's time to call your Senators & tell them to vote NO ON HR 2616/S 2251 (and the very similar bills: HR 2617 & HR 7661 which aim to ban all trans books from every public school in the country!) www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

I appreciate KS surfacing just how much of this friction and censorship is due to payment processors and I wish more companies would put this stake in the ground rather than screwing over artists. If every company did this, payment processors would have to buckle.

Made a few of the favorite new button pins for upcoming events! Which one do you like better? #button #buttonpin #pin #art

Know that the desire to be perfect is probably the veiled expression of another desire—to be loved, perhaps, or not to die. —Ron Padgett, from "How to Be Perfect"

After many years, I've restarted my #mermay habit 😭 I drew this w/o references except for the tail, which is inspired by mosasaurs, ancient horrors from the ocean who were dinosaur contemporaries 😈 #mermay2026 #sketch

Leafing thru an old sketchbook, I found this #sketch. Back in 2020/2021, after the horrific wildfires in California, I got an idea: juxtapose Impressionist imagery with quotes or data about the #climate crisis. Maybe I'll pick up this project again eventually... #drawing #art

I just realized I have never made a starter pack, which is strange? So, I just did. If you're interested in alternative/small press comics publishers, you should click this link. go.bsky.app/C2tf7oZ I promise, the comics small press is some deeply incredible shit. Lemme know if I missed anyone!

Last weekend at Santa Rosa Zine Fest was super fun! Lots of really creative art, nice people, and a huge zine haul I still have to peruse properly 🫣 There's nothing like a #zinefest to restore a lil faith in humanity. For Bay Area folks, it is well worth the mini road trip! #zine #zinester

But wars are good for the economy, right?

Can't stop thinking about #Chonkers the Sea Lion I felt compelled paint some studies of the Stellar Sea Lion taking over the piers of San Francisco.

Will this May finally be the May I listen to the inner siren song to make horny mermaid drawings? Only time will tell

I’ve never organized an anthology, but it feels like a great time to do an antifascist comics anthology.

TOMORROW !!! 5/2 - we'll be here 12-7pm giving away free comics and having a huge sale bringing back the comics by the pound sale 😱 $10/lb (roughly 7 comics) and everything on the shelves and in the back issues boxes is included!

Corporations don't "make your childhood." The artists working there do. Be on the right side, gang.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERS DAY

this beautiful gay planet deserves so much better than billionaires and chatgpt and landlords and cybertrucks and US presidents and coward universities and therapy speak and biopics

Prep for events is a lot, but here's a peek at "new" stuff! Since the rise of plagiarism machines I've noticed more people getting invested in my one-of-a-kind #tinyart drawings, which maybe is a coincidence. It's inspiring nonetheless. ✊🏻 In response, I've prepped more #doodles for vending!

tips for ✨ bsky ✨ use feeds. subscribe, tag, emoji. it's how folks find you! reposting goes further than liking. i now repost more as it always bumps stuff up. alt text. MANY folks will not repost your stuff without it. be a mensch and alt your text. comments, baby. drop them. talk! trust me.

Had lots of fun this past Sunday for the launch of RPS Collective's SHOOT! vol 1! We had lots of cookies, laughs, and doodles 🍪 A few of us even made impromptu #zines. Mine wound up being about #climatechange, unsurprisingly...happy Earth Day 🌎?! #zinester #bayareaart #natureart

Vaccines are a more important and impressive technology than AI

Bus stops all over San Francisco have an ad for some AI company that says "San Francisco has lost a lot of its soul" And it's honestly the most "hot-dog-suit guy meme" energy ever

there is a privacy apocalypse coming, and the democrats are just as responsible as the republicans.

Sometimes you just wanna draw Michiru in a negligee and the rest of the narrative builds from there. God, I love these two. One of my favorite fictional couples of all time. #watercolor #fanart #sailormoon

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm Andreana, a human artist making #fantasyart illustrations in pen or #coloredpencil, as well as #zines (mostly mini-zines). A lot of my work revolves around queerness, whimsy, mental health, and chronic illness. I'm open for commissions! ko-fi.com/andreana_dra...

I have a few #art and #zine events coming up this weekend and in the next couple months! This Saturday, April 19: RPS Collective SHOOT! Vol 1 Picnic Launch @ Lake Merritt gazebo, 12-3pm. P.S. my #illustration in this flyer is also my contribution featured in the SHOOT! zine 😊 #zinester
