As a about to be 36-year-old woman I can say that my art is so much better than it was when I was at my peak and "famous" at 21-29. I do miss the fans and the privileges though, it's funny how fast those things go away when contracts end. It's certainly been difficult starting over

Hey Human artists! Quote with your cyberpunk art! #art #cyberpunk

Latest dragon alert‼️ "Aurora Galaxy Dragon" is on my Patreon in full. I still think she needs... something but I can't figure out what. #dragon #art #artist #space

Happy Valentine's Day 💘 hope you're getting all the love today. The vamp version of "The Last Waltz" is available as a wallpaper on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/arielburgess #valentinesday #love #gothic #romance #art

Best movie I've seen in years. Seriously, go see "Good luck, Have fun. Don't die" it was a really brilliant way to talk about AI, future tech and our addiction to social media. Sam Rockwell is amazing as always. #goodluckhavefundontdie #movienight

Minneapolis (and Minnesota) will be changed by this, I just hope it's the good parts that linger the longest and that they outshine the trauma.

My latest painting "The Last Waltz", inspired by the theme "Beyond the Veil" and the 1919 poster A Dance of Death. I've been really into #romantasybooks and wanted play into that with the theme. Full painting on Patreon www.patreon.com/arielburgess #fantasyart #artist #noai #romance #dancemacabre

It's really hard to focus on making art here in MN. It's also very strange thinking,"I have a deadline, oh also*gestures at everything around*" How are y'all coping? #mnartist #minnesota #artist #ihatethistimeline

It's giving Lisa Frank, but I also snuck in geraniums because they stand for stupidity 😌 #WIP #pixelart

Absolutely this. Thank you once again @beckduff.bsky.social for hitting the nail on the head 💗

Human artists! Use only one piece to convince people to follow you!

I feel like my work is not recognizable but fans have disagreed with me. What makes my work recognizable to you?

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA RUN VENEZUELA WHEN WE CANT RUN OUR OWN NATION

Last month I repainted this whimsical winter piece. It's a full landscape with very pretty trees and snow. The desktop and phone wallpaper are available on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/arielburgess Every month I release a wallpaper, either of new or older art. #newyear #art #winter #whimsical

Happy New Year! 🎇🍾 Have a safe night lovelies. #happynewyear #ny2026 #art

Artists quote with your faces 😍 Literally one of my favorite things to draw. I love subtle expressions. 👀 #faces #art #portraits #fantasy #vampire #paladin #steampunk #queen #blueskyart

I have so many it's hard to pick. Detail is my favorite thing. But most of the pieces I did for The Wheel of Time are up there. I'd point to the tons of spoilery hints in my Moiraine transition poster #artist #fantasyart #bookart #wheeloftime #blueajah

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

Anyone else spend today mostly crying?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You make it so I can continue to make art

Burned out.

I love helping other artists

...how do they know... Well except the plants. Mine are all fake because one time I had a plant and forgot until it was dirt again.

I dont think i’ve seen a more clear sign that AI is dying than jack fucking dorsey rebooting vine and banning AI content

@amandamakepeace.bsky.social thought you might like this gorgeous artwork.

"Soaring Skies" is my latest painting. I've been doing a lot of bright vivid colors and wanted to play with a softer, subtler palette. Also dragons are always cool. For sale soon in all my stores. #dragon #art #fantasy #artist #blueskyart

Yesterday was our gotcha day for Kiki. We've had this little cuddle chaos kitty for one full year. What a year it's been. She's added much needed joy and laughter and occasional destruction to our lives. I'm so happy she found her way to us. #studiocat #cat #petadoption #kiki

SAME. A reminder that I should really finish act III and meet Gortash. I KNOW, I KNOW.... decision making got too hard and I needed years of cozy games. I may have also gotten addicted to Enshrouded.

So how does one get a boost on Bluesky? I'm hoping to surpass my 5k on Facebook. The sooner I can leave Meta behind, the better. Always looking for artist friendly platforms. Because sharing art, being silly together and enjoying books is life. #artistsofbluesky #artboost #metasucks

Hey so like care about people 👍

Happy #caterday Kiki is tired from all the trick or treators last night. Hope everyone is having a cozy and happy November 1st. #studiocat #artist #tabbycat #cat

Happy Halloween 🎃 This little magical cat was painted during my Livestream on Patreon this week. Hope you have a whimsical, mystical, joyous and safe witches new year 🌙💗 #halloween #samhain #magical #catart #cat #blueskyart #skyart #witchy

Thiiiiisss I get asked a lot do I love my job and I really feel like it's complicated. Because it's not really a job though it is. It's a passion I've had since I was a kid. It's an obsession. It's a puzzling of the world around me and in my head. And I love but it's complicated

Happy #nationalcatday Kiki is a cutie and also a goblin. I look forward to her snuggles every night. If you can, always adopt a pet, they make life fuller. #catmom #tabbycat #studiocat

Old man screaming at the clouds moment. Does anyone understand the Lyft Wait and save feature because I swear to God every time I use it, It's like your driver's here and I chose it because I wanted them to be here in like 20 minutes.

I've been trying to relax on focusing for days on extreme detail and just...paint. This is a little wallpaper I made for my patrons. I'm fascinated by fairies in trees. #fantasyart #fairies #whimsy #artist #blueskyart

Figuring out what you want is important. But figuring out what you *deserve* is probably more so.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

Thank you @multiversecon.bsky.social for another incredible con! I'm so honored to have created the con shirt this year. It was incredible to see everyone! #artist #pinupart #blueskyart #kraken #scifi
