I love progress videos, because here you can see my process of drawing/erasing/redrawing/hating/erasing/totally starting over with Ed's face, me trying to draw Stede's nose 800 times, and my possibly insane urge to do all of the lighting midway through. Totally normal Artist Things™. Enjoy 💙 #OFMD

This was the first time I've ever tried painting light on dark, because I tried doing it the usual way (shading on top of light colors) and it was looking terrible and I hated it. So I just scrapped Ed's entire face and started over. And I'm so glad I did. Thanks everyone for your lovely comments 🩵

Newest art. Because we need to turn poison into positivity. And these guys make me happy. (They should have danced. We should have gotten to see them dance.) 💔🧡💜 #OFMD

We’ve waited for so long for the fever to break. But the fever is breaking us Now is the time to stand up. Now. Be loud and non-violent. Join a boycott. Call your senator, propose a national strike. Demand the release of the Epstein files. Demand action on the genocide in Gaza.

“No,” said Frog.

The best kind of night: pirating and pizza. @cheersm3dears.bsky.social

I'm just gonna have to focus on art and nice things over here for a bit and I hope you all know it's not because I don't see or care about what's going on, it's just, yeah. That being said, I cannot WAIT to share this art I'm working on. I love it so much.

Just a reminder that your art is especially important when there is chaos everywhere

Today is “drag and tag,” tagging sharks with drag queens while raising money for LGBQT+ youth organizations in Florida! www.scientificamerican.com/article/drag...

I can still remember watching 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time as a kid (around 30 years ago) and seeing that live video call between Heywood and his daughter and being SO blown away. How incredible cool and futuristic it seemed. Crazy to think how far tech has come since even then.

Things are ummmmm bad. But caring for tiny animals and creatures is helping me, because they matter and they deserve my attention more than all of this nonsense. So please enjoy these moth caterpillars that I'm foster moth-ering, and also this gecko and beautiful black racer that I saved from my cat

It kind of got overshadowed by... everything yesterday, but it was World Suicide Prevention Day. This is a great list of resources, but I'd also like to add on a few organizations that are doing some good work for specific groups:

im sorry blue check liberals but im not going to feel sorry for someone who went out like this

🧵

Cannot stop thinking about this book, honestly it's rude that it had to end.

I feel like this is perhaps a bad time to be promoting stuff to sell, but - it's out now, in case anyone wants it. All small-run stuff, I'm not making profit off the belt buckles, I just need to cover production costs and fees. Also sincere apologies for the awful US postage costs 🥲 #shopOFMD 2/2

Okay there is SUCH cool stuff on this shop 😍 OFMD fans and cosplayers (especially Ed cosplayers) might want to have a look 👀

Okay I haven't been this invested in, emotional about, or in love with a book this much in a while. This was one of those can't-put-it-down reads, but not because of the high stakes or the white-knuckling scientific adventure of it all (though that was all also excellent). It was the best, most >

burn calories?? and contribute to climate change?? i don't think so pal

You know I had to #PutEdInThis. Based entirely on a friend's INCREDIBLY FLY outfit (because he's the most stylish person I know and also he's essentially basically Ed irl). Anyway, gaze upon his hotness. 💅 #OFMD

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Am currently Putting Ed in Something. 💅👀

I hear you guys like black cat/orange cat relationships. Pls enjoy my black cat/orange-cat-vibed dog relationship. They are best friends and they're currently napping together. This happens daily. (Death and Tilly)

Should I take myself to see the 50th anniversary showing of Jaws in the theatre this weekend, yes or yes

See you fools (and @vico-ortiz.bsky.social) there! 💅💅💅

Oh HERE WE GO. It's the anniversary of that week in 2008 when I'd broken up with my boyfriend (lol) and posted sad Twilight quotes as statuses on fb all week 💀💀💀

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

OFMD fandom, let's turn poison into positivity and support actual Indigenous authors instead of this race-faking grifter! Here are some great recommendations:

What continues to baffle me about the whole anti-vax rhetoric and anti-vaxxers in general is how autism is somehow more of a dealbreaker than fatal diseases and chronic afflictions like rabies, polio, and measles.

Hiiiiii, if you want to support an author who's a respectful/loving fan of OFMD, please consider giving Die's books & writing a read! It's queer horror and folklore that is so blindingly gorgeous and painstakingly original, the queer folks win, the bad guys get punished and I promise you'll love it👇

Used my time wisely at my friend's cut-up crafting event.

Just donated $250 to The Trevor Project! Thank you guys as always for supporting my art, it means the world. These prints are still available, and as always, I'm donating 100% to charity 💙🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 You can get them here: shopstands.com/collections/... #OFMD

If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

The instructor at one of those paint your pet workshops scolded and made passive aggressive remarks at me all afternoon, including but not limited to, "you're not going to get the exact color you want" after I asked her for primary colors and began mixing my own paint. Ma'am, do not trifle with me,,

Wow I hate having to share this again, but here we are. Anyway, here are some good trans-led, trans-facing and trans-justice oriented charities to support, both at a time like this and just. Always.

The only way out of this is out of it together. Sacrifice one group, they will take that as a signal that they can pick us off group by group until there is no one less. We hang together, or we all hang separately.

I need somebody to yell with about Coheed's Vaxis II. Particularly Ladders of Supremacy/Rise, Naianasha (Cut the Cord), which I have listened to what I would consider to be an unhealthy amount of times

Here are the actual facts: In a decade of recorded US mass shootings, less than 0.1% of them were carried out by non-cis shooters (thetrace.org) If the government really wanted to stop mass shootings, then they would provide more access to health care and less access to guns.

Queer as in strange and also queer as in gay and also sometimes queer as in f&*@ you 💅

Just made these for a friend and have enough left for 3 more if anyone wants one? I'll put them on Kofi eventually but it'll be cheaper direct. Freshwater pearls and sterling silver £45 plus p&p - DM me! #ofmd #EdTeach #Blackbeard #shopofmd #bsnm

Which canceled series affected you the most? #OFMD is just one example we discussed in our multiple series on the cancel your queer trends in western media #representationmatters #LGBT #tvreview

I long to live in a world where people's physical appearance and abilities are no longer mocked and belittled, and cruelty and greed are seen as 'humiliating' traits instead.

14 (human) years with this dummy 🩵

Oh god. If you, like me, were a huge Jack's Mannequin fan in the early 00s, I'm gonna need you to drop everything and listen to this immediately. They've released a brand new version of Everything in Transit composed with strings and my heart feels like it's EXPLODING 😭 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

My aunt got me the Discwold book I was missing for my birthday, but. Oh no. Oh nO

So honored to have been able to collaborate on some original art for ElfQuest!
