🌻 Commissioned headshot for @moon-flowers.bsky.social ! Thank u so much again 🫶🏼 #furry #art #furries #artwork #commission

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. So that's my diary entry for today, hope tomorrow goes better!

thank you everyone who still makes art despite everything

Please don't let outside forces damper who you are. Please do not let people destroy your light. You were meant to shine bright and whatever tries to snuff out that light is not meant to be in your life.

Can’t say this enough, if your not getting paid to draw, draw what you like.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight. Never bring a large bag of feathers to a fistfight. Don't bring anything to a MindFight, you're supposed to just do those ones with your mind.

If I see gen AI compared to the advent of the camera one more time they are getting an elbow to the face. The camera did not require billions of dollars of infrastructure, training, stolen data, and environmental destruction to operate.

You deserve rest 💙 #art #comics

Is that an ART??! 🥨🥨🥨

One way to reduce stress is to meditate. Another way is to not live under a fascist government. This has been wellness tips!

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Anyone need help roasting marshmallows? :3

Unpopular Opinion no one asked for: Stop treating art like a competition with other artists and stop relying on the number of followers you have for self worth. More Followers =/= better artist. Help each other and support each other. WE ALL RISE TOGETHER!

i do not share the author's barely disguised fetish but i will defend to the death their right to publish it

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

Bird sounds.

I think about this bird plush all the time.

I FEEL THE NEED TO TAP THE JOHN WATERS SIGN REALLY HARD LATELY.

It's dangerous to go alone.

YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VERSIONS OF YOU THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE CREATED IN THEIR OWN MINDS.

my least sad book, awash in sights & sounds one may find in the Louisiana that exists beyond bourbon st. full of bayous, sugarcane, family, and finding a little inner peace. couldn't imagine having this anywhere else than @fifthwheelpress.bsky.social hope y'all enjoy MTLWFY. :)

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Capitalism kills even the strongest of Gengars 😔

how it feels knowing my purpose is to make people happy and laugh

If you use AI to do the parts of writing that aren’t your favorite you will 100% be a worse writer. Bad at pacing and using AI to fix that? Great, now you have never actually learned pacing. Bad at descriptions? Sweet, you have no idea how descriptions reveal character. You actually just suck.

lit mags and publishers need to be more afraid of saying they accept work that uses AI. we should be bullying them.

this is what you look like as a Harry Potter fan in 2025

Initial explorations of the character “John Doe” from @malevolent.ca John is the disembodied voice of an Eldrich deity that shadows the protagonist, Arthur. I wanted to represent him as Arthur’s literal shadow! Very prismo evocative haha. (2025)

i love living in the desert butFUCK THIS HEAT 🌞🔥😭

Happy shark awareness day! 🦈🫧 #sharks #art

The problem isn't that generativeAI will get so good it will replace artists. It can't and never will. The problem is that uncreative and incurious people will flood every venue with so much regurgitated slop that no artist has a chance of ever being seen or found.

Me after saying I wasn't gonna buy any more books for a while

Idk if I ever posted this here: ode to Grackle

Hello artists. If no one has told you yet today. I love you. You're doing great. I wish you many fortunes.

please say hello to the sweetest baby

If you’re looking for ransom, I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of symptoms, symptoms that are flu like. I think it’s just a cold? I’m not sure if it’s worth a doctor visit? Where were we? Oh, yeah, ransom. I can’t afford that. Sorry.
