Sun has chosen my table and eyeballs to blast while setting this afternoon lol. Makes a fun photo from my perspective though!

All setup and ready for @ozcomic-con.bsky.social Sydney this weekend! I can be found at AA 83 on your show map. See you soon!!

It's almost Halloween, which means my monster critters are now available again for the first time this year...This weekend at @ozcomic-con.bsky.social Sydney! I will have a selection of critters, prints, charms, fan & original art & more! Find me at AA 83 in the artist alley this weekend!

Standard illustration #commission for Cora, of their DnD Potoo bard, leaping into action off their Griffin! This one was so much fun XD

Thanks so much to those who have been commissioning and sharing my work lately! While conventions have been my main way of surviving lately. I have been struggling to get consistent work online for a few years now. So its been so amazing to get some awesome critters to draw recently!

On the spot #commission for @madraptorzzz.bsky.social of their wonderful Vulture critter! I am loving all these birds I have been getting lately! 💚 I am currently open for one of these. They are $100 usd for 1 full body character/no BG. (more examples can be seen in my feed).

On the spot #commission for Coulias, of their fun electric bird! I am currently open for a new one of these. They are $100 usd for a full body illustration/no BG, to be started on payment! Feel free to DM me here, or email me (email and more examples can be seen in previous posts)

Me: "I need at least 1 day off a week. Today is the day". Also me: "Time to sand and start painting 720 doll faces, clean 3D printers, prep and sort hundreds of printed parts, work on commissions..." Where did the day go?

I am open for one more of these today if anyone is interested!

Happy 2014 everyone 🫠 #theycravethatmineral Thranduil and Jareth plus infants (It was a request and my friend told me it was 2014 coded) #thranduil #jareth #lordoftherings #labyrinth #thehobbit

On the spot commission for the wonderful @biological.bsky.social ! Always loved their species, so it was fun to work on a design of one! This little Sen is observing everyday objects on a desk. While displaying enhancements to their chassis, aiming to emulate Faeries abilities to glamour!

Little Baphomet's are really coming along now they have their paint! Next up their fluffy little bodies. These will be available at all Australian #oddities&Curiosities in a few months!

I am in need of a weekly income of some sort, to help deal with debts I have right now. So I am going to open for weekly on the spot #commissions ! Today's slot is for a standard spot (no BG) #illustration like these examples $100 usd. Completed today! Happy to draw most things (pets included!)

Poking at my Etsy again, slowly taking photos of stuff. I wish I could do a poll here. But I am curious, how many Australians watch me here/like to buy art online (like my wooden key charms, prints and stickers)? Considering I probably can't allow American sales, trying to get an idea for stock!

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Trying to keep my painting skills sharp and really lean into the um tiny details

Sorry I haven't had much on my feed art wise. I am currently elbows deep in resin printing and casting, sanding, and preparing hundreds of art doll parts for the next stage (Painting and assembly!) for O&C which is looming closer! Pictured is a tiny fraction. Mainly bats and fluff fae here :)

I have reached the point in my life where my greatest dream thing to own, is a new Kangoo van for my business. (I have been driving around Australia, with convention stock crammed to the roof in a little Yaris with a Pod tacked to the roof for years lmao.) Have I made it...Is this normie adulting?

Moth creature WIP. I have been wanting to make this guy for a good while now! Also with a healthy dash of owl in there, because no one can stop me >:)

The fact that Siraya tech still charges in USD while warehousing in Australia is so painful. I just burnt through 2 x 5L bottles of resin in a week. So had to order 4 more (hoping to god that's enough to get everything printed for oddities <_>)...Which was $874.1 aud ughhhhh

Bringing back these little guys now with more wrinkles and uglier than ever before...Pug goblins! First photo is the old doll from way back when I first started selling art dolls! Second Sculpt is the new version I am working on for #OdditiesAndCuriosites Australia :)

These anti-immigration rallies we are seeing in Australia, is a very visual example of nasty people feeling emboldened, because of gross trends like Tumpisim is encouraging. This behavior should never be tolerated. We do not want Australia to be come a current America in miniature politically.

My feed has been nothing but sexy Watto and hopefull posts. I love bsky sometimes. Please never change lol

Raw resin WIP of my new doll for the goblin rage. A little Baphomet Goat! Next up sanding, painting and adding their fluffy bodies :) These will be available this year at all 4 Australian #OdditiesandCuriosities events! #artdoll #ooakartdoll #mandmade #resin #creaturedoll #sculpture #myart #Zbrush

"Entitled Millionaire whines that artists are paid peanuts when they COULD be paid in crumbs. Using this as a long winded excuse to say that AI company he has sold out to, is the obvious solution, actually."

Sneak peak of a new goblin sized doll I am getting ready for this years #Oddities&Curiosities in Australia! A little Baphomet, ba ba ba! (Versions without the sigil will be available). Colours are not final here, but the sculpt is! #Artdoll #ooakartdoll #3Dsculpt #goat #art

(Thread) So we got a update (sort of) on how shipping to the USA will be like from Aus. Pretty much, America expects us to use a American company (such as Zonos). Who charge US to help deal with collecting the tax/tariffs for the American government on OUR end. -

(Also I do have art posts coming :) I am busy sculpting new thing for #Oddities&Curiosities Australia!) Ill share some soon!

Many countries including my own are doing this now. The only people hurting are small buisness worldwide incl artists & normal American people themselves. The winners? Mega business that dont even have to lift a finger now to price us out, & Trumps cronies...where do you think this money is going?

Watched V for Vendetta again for the first time again in years and years. While I have heard the graphic novel tackles these subjects much better than the film (and I need to find and read it). It's amazing how well the movie has held up, and how timely it feels now.

Found out Spotify is upping sub prices AGAIN. That with the introduction of undisclosed ai music slop. I decided fuck it, and unsubscribed....And they give you this weird bullshit when they cancel lmao

Its more and more likely looking like the USA wants to both tarrif art i send from Australia, and have me charge and pay it on MY end (which is not traditionally how this usually works???) I was about to open my Etsy again world wide....but I may need to leave the USA out X_x

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Guidraco venator - a presumably piscivorous pterosaur. A new illustration that I’ve just finished. Too late to show at DinoCon this weekend… for which I now need to pack! #SciArt

Been thinking about a lot of old friends from all over the world lately. People who have come and gone out of the day to day of my life, & made a impact. Many I have not spoken to in years. And yet, all of them I still care about deeply, and really hope they are all doing OK.

Been a few days of hell, but getting close to getting my tax done. Probably one more day and I will be back to normal commission work!

lol wow. I am currently slowly getting ready to open my Etsy store after years (much as I hate them, its just easiest for me atm)... And I found out they strip your star selling COMPLETELY if you are inactive. So now ill look dodgy as hell/probably wont show in searches at all yayyyyyy!

Just re-posting this to say. This is a example of what we will be dealing with for a very long time. And I am begging students especially, to SPEAK OUT if your place of study tries to force gen AI into your creative fields. Walk out, protest, threaten to not sign up. To lose you, is to lose their $

Doing Tax atm as a sole trading artist, always makes me appreciate how easy I had it when I just worked normal 9-5 jobs. Dear god this sucks.

All setup with my new wooden display at @ozcomic-con.bsky.social Canberra!

I am really excited to test my new convention setup this weekend at Oz Comic Con Canberra! Its been a long time coming change, and while it was expensive. I think will make my life so much easier (for events i can drive to anyway. Too heavy to fly lol) ❤️

Update thread #2. Hemlock One thing we worked on is a different tool to complement Nightshade. We discovered a new attack on diffusion models that is more generalizable than Nightshade. It targets an entirely different part of AI training pipeline, basically making AI models poison themselves.

The swamp hag is all finished!! I was gonna wait to post pics, but I’m too excited. Pray to the molding and casting gods for me! Sculpted with @monsterclayusa Green Medium #witch #hag #sculpture #clay #mask #latexmask #specialeffects #makeup #creature #halloween #babayaga #megmucklebones

Like many out there, I absolutely adored these 2 in #KpopDemonHunters <3 This was created as a sticker for my upcoming event next weekend at #OzComicCon Canberra!

Look at this adorable artwork of Key, LOOKIT!!!

Found this old drawing of key from way back. Might re-visit this some time and finish it off (with her updated details :) She still actually has a white version, though I will probably change this! She molts to white in winter, and back to her barn owl plumage in summer :)

I always find it very amusing when people go through my prints/merch at my stall and say (nicely, or in exasperation) "Man, there's a lot of owls". Yesss...yesss there is. Expect more, this owl woman will not stop, CAN NOT STOP.

Just found out Tom Lehrer passed. Time to listen to some of my favorite songs in existence again...Starting with = www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuM...

At table sketch commission for the lovely @ashtalon.bsky.social !
