Hey, whether you did hundreds of artworks this year or one artwork this year, you are an artist, and you're doing your best. Be proud of whatever you created this year. Life ebbs and flows.

I purposefully avoid most popular things and I think more people should try to do that too.

fighting for my life here trying to get in the festive mood while experiencing the worst workload of my life, I am afraid even Loreena McKennitt's Christmas albums are not going to cut it this year

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

Donating to Wikipedia feels like making sure the Library of Alexandria doesn't burn down nowadays

absolutely monday pilled. i’m toil-maxxing. going drudgery mode. stumblecore. hitting my slog goals.

ko-fi.com/slaymate few weeks left of this year, but I am still far from reaching my ko-fi goal 😔 so I posted a double sketch update this month (OCs smooching!), and if you support me on ko-fi to unlock my gallery, you can rest assured that the smooch money will be donated to a good cause by January

December is the time for fairytales for me, and while not exactly a fairytale, I still like to think my 2018 mock-up cover illustration for the classic Cretan ballad of Erotokritos looks moody enough for one 🗡️💔

Lithgow saying that a family friend with a trans kid came to him and literally said “please don’t do this” and he did it anyway really gives the game away. they don’t not know

artist tip: don't forget to plagiarize yourself!

Indie authors and Amazon, artists and Etsy, etc etc

just toreador things

Dagger, poison, crown breaker angel, borzoi creature? Here’s a December calendar for anyone looking for an alternative theme, enjoy!🍒🐕

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

my advent calendar hasn't arrived 🧍‍♀️

sometimes you are looking for a specific book to read, and then you find a hardback copy from the 60s that belonged to the previous house owner, in your parents' laundry room

there is never enough

Almost time to get the Christmas decorations out! Are my Christmas decorations a big black circular candelabra and velvet bat ornaments? Maybe.

Frankenstein triptych

Counterattack

A friend's oc is like an oc-in-law to me

there's a Greek podcast where an actor recites the entire Iliad in the modern language rhapsody by rhapsody, and this is why life is still worth living

My friend just fuckin showed up with a corncob pipe & that’s when it hit me that we are all in our 40s which means we get one new accessory slot

the success of the cloud headband clearly lies in its similarity to the Tudor era's French hood

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

Very hungry caterpillar

sometimes you just have to escape to a museum to rest your eyes on something entirely not work-related for a while

the most astonishing kind of AI slop produced, to me, are those overly cheesy depictions of Judeo-Christian figures that zoomers like to post on socials, as if the painstaking creation of religious art with the greatest effort and care has not constituted an act of worship *itself* for millenia

boxd.it/LS4a recommending this documentary on Ertflix to all Greek followers looking for The Vibe ™️ described above this weekend (the vibe being old villagers recounting vaguely remembered folk tales that imply their mountain village is as haunted as it is cozy)

Zaedoreth, the domain of witches. The setting for the webcomic :)

you know me for my 1920s Catastrophe of Smyrna Hades/Persephone retelling, but for years now I've also been cooking up a Venetocracy Crete-inspired ghost story within a matriarchy, a second-chance villain romance set in fantasy Byzantium, and recently lovers succumbing to vampirism in Ottoman Greece

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

Please read! Argonaut Books enriched our time in Edinburgh when we visited last year, they really deserve better. 🙏✨️

listening to my OC playlists while getting ready for work sounds like a great idea until I actually arrive at work overcome with feelings for The Character

me sketching the challenging pose/perspective: haha whoooo yes hahahahaha me inking the challenging pose/perspective: I’m a fraud. A failure. An affront before the gods a worthless husk a non artist a sad pathetic waste of space a hack an unworthy hack

Here are my 8 favourite gothic horror novels that don't include the usual three anglophone classics you find on every list 💀👌 (thread)

I'm finally getting back to you (rubs hands)

🌿Poison Ivy Cover 33🌿 'An awful tragedy is unfolding...'

I hope this doesn't get hit with the copyright hammer but I wanted to use some nice music

Instead of aiming for looking young, people should aim for ageless. You aren’t supposed to be 20 forever, but you can look like an indiscernible elf for your entire life
