2025 was a truly godawful year. My dad died and my uncle died, both in poverty and desperation in a way that felt like a big flashing warning sign. I hope in 2026 to find a way to feel secure while still making art and pursuing the things I care about. Me and dad, 100 years ago:

Drove in the rain for some Amaro so i could have a new year’s eve Paper Plane. Absolutely worth it, but I did question my NYE driving choices when I saw a guy driving the wrong way down the road realize his mistake and do a u turn across two lanes of traffic. 🥳 (pictured with orange snail friend)

Always think of this Robert Frost poem in this little stretch of time between the Solstice and New Year- here's an old piece of mine celebrating it.

well, I had kept my twitter account existing to point folks that might remember me from there to here/keep archives intact, but this latest move means im not comfortable even with that anymore. So that account is fully deactivated now.

クリスマスリースなライオン🎄

Merry Christmas from the pine tree lava lamp 🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄

It's raining, it's a christmas miracle!

I would encourage everyone to take this survey, and to mention in the comments that while this survey only talks about generative AI writing, that there should also be rules that ban the use of generative art from SFWA awards and other promotions/advertising.

Making a comic. Released 10 pages to read here thenecromancersspawn.thecomicseries.com Will update every Monday.

I have a tiny starter pack for artists who offer art-related services through ko-fi! There are also a few who use artistree or bsky instead. If you'd like to be added, post your art below AND interact with or repost others/this post!! #FollowFriday | #SupportArtists | #Artsky go.bsky.app/M9t7bDQ

I am way too exhausted for how much money I'm not making

Just a couple days left for late pledges to this! When the total hits $3,250 every backer gets a very bittersweet 2 page comic written by Edward and drawn by me. I'm proud of my work on it, I'd love for people to see it! (just $34 bucks short right now!)

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

I've been rewatching Supernatural and so far my favorite dumb monster of the week is 'contagious ghost disease that makes you so scared that your heart explodes and only effects assholes'

Got my bank card number stolen because i tried to buy cheap drawer hardware for my mom from a fishy website :( Hope this rando in Toronto enjoys their Sprouts groceries and Amazon purchases but I'm out almost 200 bucks until chargebacks so nows a great time to support me! cesious.blue/about

Critical Role said hey here's three characters that have weird religious feelings about each other and I said 👀👀 I still have time for a couple commissions before Xmas! Thru Vgen: vgen.co/CesiousBlue Thru: Kofi: ko-fi.com/cesiousblue/... #criticalrole #cr4 #art

I'm usually happy to answer questions if people have 'em!

These take ages to make but I love making them. Inspired by my local landscape this is the ancient chalk Uffington White Horse. This pot pulled itself apart in the kiln so I did some kintsugi to put it together and, somehow, it just adds to it. #ArtAdventCalendar #ukpotter #handbuiltpottery

In honor of Saint Nicholas Eve, here's a 1911 postcard from Vienna (now at the Met: www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...) It has a Krampus on it and everything.

What a delightful idea for a Yule Log!

oooh i got my secret samol prompts :3 super excited about one of these asks, gonna get to do some incredibly specific Sangfielle stuff

check out this misprint guidelines-visible pochacco that's in the lil schedule book I picked up at Daiso. Love how it makes his nose look like 😮

My comic Relic is set to premier next year and I'm busy doing scripting now! Art is def way easier for me than the more tedious business of stuff like "making things make sense" (Updates available here: cesious.blue/relic)

Ladies of the Knight is complete, and in production to be published next July with Oni Press. It took 8 years to make, and currently the hardest thing is letting the wonderful team at Oni actually help, letting go of what’s been a solo project for so long!

My new comic SPRYTE is being drawn now after successfully funding on KS and my artist partner Felipe is BLOWING MY MIND. I've got to rethink script 2 bc of all his wild ideas! Just look at this WIP page. KS late pledges are still open here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/nya...

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC... Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought. Share a bit of art, if you can! Sing your own praises, if you like!

Went to the thrift store looking for a nice hoodie and there were zero hoodies there somehow?? But i DID find a mic arm for streams and a 100 dollar mono/tripod for 9 bucks. So still calling that one a success!

I'm not much of a cook, but today I spent the day making mini pies both savory and sweet! Beef and aged cheddar in puff pastry (hand made!) and blackberry hand pies 💜

This lil drawing I made for the first TDOR I was out for. So many complicated feelings with today. Hoping you are alive and well today.

It's Trans Remembrance Day today. It's a day to memorialize those we've lost and to remember the living trans people that are still here to fight for. A great day to make a donation to you local lgbtqia center or to Trans Lifeline: give.translifeline.org (print available here: bit.ly/3Ka5b0t)

Big day for Kalvin Brnine drawers

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

To file under weather symbols you don't wanna see: the many titted cloud

If we can get Spryte to $3,250 then all backers will receive a 2 page digital comic I did with @cesious.blue called The Refrain of the Nightjar. Jack did a helluva job and was a joy to work with, it's bugging me that I'm sitting on this great art so let's get this thing unlocked!!

snake?

Edward's cool project is nearly funded and just needs a final push!

To anyone that remembers this post, my mom has agreed to this! If I can get a stream successfully set-up and functioning this week we'll be streaming next Wednesday! Also planning: Saturday Stardew 🌿 and Google Maps plein air drawing on Mondays 🧑‍🎨 You can follow now 😘: www.twitch.tv/cesiousblue

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

Zohran Mamdani proves that proudly and genuinely standing up for trans people (along with all other oppressed and downtrodden groups) is not just morally necessary, but a winning strategy

My latest commission for @starlingdust.bsky.social of their wonderful cryptid-hunter, Billie! I just opened 3 slots for commissions like this one! ko-fi.com/c/05178902f0

The San Diego ballot is so funny this election. It really is JUST Prop 50 and nothing else

On reddit looking up copyright info when I was presented with the most blatently dumb and ridiculous AI question prompt I've ever seen:

Gotta love an enthusiastic naturalist 🌿 (Monty from @dropout.tv's Cloudward, Ho!) #D20 #art #CloudwardHo

missed out on portfolio day today, but i did get to see Diego Luna's beautiful face in Kiss of the Spider Woman, so who's the real winner here

Rest in peace, Miss Major, a staunch advocate for lgbtqia rights, and above all community action. "...the ninety-nine percent of statues that celebrate one person, it’s bullshit. [...] those people didn’t get to do anything great without a damn crowd of people they worked with to get there.”
