I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Guys I finally have something to do with my bulk Pokemon cards! 👀 Cutting them up definitely gave me anxiety but look! Sticker stamps! #pokemoncards #stickers

4,,, oops But like what if someone DOES notice my zoomed in details, they'll appreciate me 😶

Some freshwater fish! A bluegill, perch, and rainbow trout 🐟 Which fish should I do next? 👀 #fishart

Some plants from the botanical garden I visited with Ty this weekend! I didn't write down the types, so if anyone recognizes any, let me know 😅 #alcoholmarkers #sketchbook

The box I made this weekend as an example during a class! I'll see if I can get some pictures of the students' boxes to share too, they all came out really nice! Mine is walnut and canary wood #woodworking #keepsakebox

Box class at i3Detroit is going well! Almost ready for the glue up #woodworking

I think I just accidentally agreed to teach a woodworking class this weekend 😶

My first lil guys came out of the kiln today! I'm pretty happy with them -- there's a goose, fish, and bird 🪿🐟🐦 Next time, I'll definitely make sure I have a smaller brush before glazing #ceramics

Saw some videos where they put down the complimentary color first for the shading, then go over it with the main color, so I decided to experiment! ...it looks like it doesn't work quite as well with alcohol markers 😅 The videos used watercolors lol It was a fun experiment tho! #alcoholmarkers

I can post all the cards now! Happy Valentine's Day everyone <3 (cards available on my ko-fi + free digital download option) #valentinesday

Some fish I did the other day! I love nano fish 💜 I was experimenting with alcohol markers and color more #fish #art

Sent out my first order the other day! 🎉

Two of three Valentine's Day cards I designed! Now available on my kofi (ko-fi.com/wryaves) as a physical card or a free digital download for you to print yourself 🙌 #valentinesday #art #fish

Quick Hornet piece I sketched yesterday during Ceen's Silksong speedrun for @gamesdonequick.com, colored it this morning I think I want to do more speedrun inspired things, hmu if anyone has any ideas 👀 #silksong #traditionalart #art

I want to make stuff but I get on a plane in a few hours 🛫 Hopefully the desire to make stuff outlasts the flight

A pancake bunny plushie I made as a white elephant gift the other day! It was very last minute so I needed to be super quick with making the pattern, cutting, and sewing everything 😅 I think hand sewing the butter closed took longest... #plushie

My piece for @dredgefanzine.bsky.social! The entire pattern is part of the zine, so if anyone wants to make one, check it out! (+ tag me if you do 👀) It's two sided. -- the Bronze Whaler is one side and the Bloodskin Shark is the other #dredge #felt #sharks

Super excited to be part of this! I can't wait for the zine release, I worked really hard on my piece, I hope everyone likes it :D

Some birds from earlier this year! Done with alcohol markers #traditionalart #birdart

Here, have some skull sketches I never posted and pretend I didn't disappear off the face of the planet since Sept 4th 😶 #skulls #traditionalart

So at what point can I start sharing #Silksong art without worrying about spoilers for people 🤔 Based on steam achievements, most people are more sane than me and therefore have not gotten 3 endings + 99% yet 😔

Well, I can officially vouch for the durability of my stickers! This one has lasted 3 full con days + being stuck to 3 different shirts ✨ (4 more days!!!! #silksong)

--So I decided to make stickers to bring to Matsuricon 👀✨ I may have made too many 😶 #silksong #matsuricon

And last two art fight pieces for this year~ Aurelian for Qsaike and Neomi for Nocturen! #artfight2025 #artfight #TeamFossils #digitalart

More art fight! Tinbles as a revenge for @forestsandtea-art.bsky.social, Canary as an attack/revenge for @kyroki.bsky.social (I was so close to finishing mine first!!), and lil coin dragon as an attack for @spellcaster1298 / wolfy1298~ #artfight2025 #artfight #TeamFossils #traditionalart

Belatedly sharing my attacks from Art Fight this year! Here's Nika the Chomper for @slavade.bsky.social and Nyktos for @nuktia.bsky.social #artfight2025 #artfight #TeamFossils

Super looking forward to sharing my piece for this!!

She deserves to be in a parfait, you're so right ✨🍓🐟

Thanks for drawing them together!! Korok hang out time <3

Here have some warm up fish sketches #fish #sketches

Some more plants + me trying to figure out rocks lol #art #artstudies

This one never got its own post either, so fixing that! I combined prompts "Celestial", "Mycena Subcyanocephala", and "Shark" from last year's Funguary and Fishuary. Enjoy my 'biblically accurate' blacktip reef shark~ #art #sharks #original

More fish sketches I can't find to get better pictures of 😔 I like these ones a lot though, arowana are super cool, I love bony fish #art #fishart #arowana

Some colored fish ✨ A balloon molly and an alligator gar! ...I really did not think through the dimensions of an alligator gar and how the thumbnail would be cropped 😭 #fishart #traditionalart #freshwaterfish

This was my piece for the 10th edition of the Swim On charity zine last year, featuring white spotted bamboo sharks 🦈 You can find the full zine over at topazcomics.com/swimon/, shout out to @jpawlik.com for a decade of really cool shark zines & donations to finfree.org #art #sharks #swimonzine

Realized I never gave this its own post, so -- tada! This was an art fight attack last year on @zrllosyn.bsky.social's oc, Haru! I had a lot of fun with the skull and glow effect~ #art #digitalart #artfight

Eroded whale sketch! Inspired by #Dredge, which is a great game with very good fish, you should definitely go play it 🎣

I made this one for my friend Bee's birthday back in 2023. I'm really proud of how the bees and honeycomb came out~ #digitalart #art

I really need to figure out how to crop / size images nicely for posting on here, huh... 🤔

More sketches, this time ink fish and tree eels (treels) #art #fishart

Mixing it up with some digital art this time. These are a little old, I haven't been doing much digital art lately... still tempted to make an entire set inspired by 'birdwatching goes both ways' tho 📷🐦 #art #digitalart #birdart

Figured I should start sharing some stuff with color, so have some tree studies! 🌳 #art #alcoholmarkers #artstudies

More fish, this time in pen! I love pygmy corys <3 Still can't find the sketchbook they're in for better pictures :( (I worked really hard on the squid and nautilus so I'm sharing that page still, but... just ignore the poor lumpfish, ok? 😂) #fishart #seacreatures #art

Next up -- have some old fish sketches! I couldn't find the sketch book these are in, so I couldn't get nicer pictures of them 😔 #fishart #art #sketches

One more post for tonight -- have some bird skulls this time. Some corvids, a vulture, and an auk skull ...I promise I'll share non-bird stuff tomorrow 😶 #skulls #traditionalart #art

annddd this time some pen bird sketches! 🐦 These were done with a combo of micron pens and brush pens. The 3rd was a shape exercise, it was fun #birds #birdart #sketch #traditionalart

Here, have some bird sketches 🐦✏️ I know I have a bunch more in pencil, but these were the only ones I could find right now?? #birds #birdart #traditionalart

I really want to apply to the dredge zine, but I'm realizing I really haven't posted a lot of my art on here yet,,, So uh. Art posts incoming? 😭
