i showed this to a british friend and he suddenly started craving baked beans like i'd uttered a manchurian candidate-style trigger phrase

nothing i love personally like flanking an art block by just doing something in another medium out of the blue. oh the sketching part of my brain isn't cooperating huh, well i'm gonna pick up this rock and use it to bash lineart into another rock and it's gonna look wicked sick. fuck you brain

It's neat how when you anthopomorphise or personify abstract concepts into a character as an artist, what you're really doing is taking part in an ancient tradition of making a lil guy and turning them into a god inside your mind. sometimes they get to be a deity for a couple others, too!

assortment of sketch stuff that i liked from this year

i am 100% positive that doing all this shit right at the start of the year is an intentional tactic to exhaust and demoralize everybody; i am making 2026 the year of Fuck You Make Me and I am going to refuse the orange beast the viewership and actively do self-care for the weekend

In 2020, when Keir Starmer had just won the leadership of the Labor party, a friend and I discussed the fact that the man was morally for sale, and that any government he heads would be a do-nothing administration without a spine. Hate to have been consistently vindicated in that.

Don't get the discord subpoenaed, etc.

Things to do to pretty puppy girls: #furryart

I started 2026 very high and sleeping like a log. Start as you mean to go on, I guess.

Advice to all writers from my most fucked up character.

the waves

And one last personal piece for the year. I don't really talk about it much publicly, but having a head full of other voices has been a process to grasp. Finally put a name to a long misattributed one recently, and I wanted to draw them all in one piece for therapy reasons.

Y'all, a coworker discovered my bluesky, was unsurprised by what it contained, and then in DMs explained they weren't surprised because they had already clocked me. I asked what the give away was, and I got a full on LIST. I have been read like a god damn book, LMAO

Thank you @ta-blackstone.bsky.social for the gift of foxmas :3

I'm going to have to make a therian patch and put it on my bag or something in a desperate bid to locate other animals around town. I refuse to believe I am the only one here

This would absolutely do it for some of you

May as well, since I've already posted my 2025 retrospective. What do folks think?

TONIGHT! Live-reading the short stories Bearing Down Gracefully, and Reach Out, Ch. 1, at 8:00 Eastern piczel.tv/watch/deergrace

Figure I'd do a retrospective on 2025. The short version: Holy shit I did so much stuff what the fuck. Long version:

Big fan of the way people i interact with at work can tell I am genderfucked and will correct themselves between sir and ma'am in uncertainty and I will give them no feedback what so ever.

Leaving 2025 on all fours and snarling

Being therian does not erase one’s white privilege

It's okay, you don't have to do engagement tricks and the commercialized shtick here; you can just be a person and post art, it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be alright I know twitter taught you this & sucked your soul out & art memes became the only way to communicate it's over now, you can be free

remember to take your pets to the vet often to keep them healthy and satisfied!! 🐶🤍

All that said, ko-fi.com/bookman gas money, roadside lodging, unexpected nonsense in transit, keeping myself up once i finally land somewhere, anything will help me prepare for this. Thank you.

I read 41 furry books in 2025. Since the year has now ended, I'm going to give out some accolades for them! Please enjoy my little book awards list. #FurryWriting

A lil Xmas gift for @furryfootage.bsky.social and @gentlemonster.bsky.social of their Oc's Dark Sorcerous Aurelina, Princess Aurelina and Lucius Hargrave. They were fun to draw and I think they came out pretty well

In all sincerity, doing this genuinely will always be the fastest way to get a solid peer group to help uplift you in turn. I've made a lot of friends on sites like this just from commenting a few times on how much I like a moot's stuff.

And so we enter the confusing mess of a week that is the time between Christmas and New Years. I think we should bring back the 12 days thing where everyone just agrees to forget what day it is, save for a large count down timer everywhere so that you know how many days of revelry left at a glance

The rave

poor thing doesn't know any better~ 🐶🤍

I saw the Mayor at town hall earlier and asked her if it stink and she made this face. I can't tell if she's down or if she wants to call me a slur? Maybe both?? #8_art #anthro #Deltarune #carolholiday #reindeer

Dear Santa and/or Christ, I will regret saying this but if the Buffalo Bills win the Super Bowl I swear on my father's ashes I will go to church every sunday for 1 (one) calendar year Please make me eat my words, Andréa

Nightly visitors bring offerings! These are some old characters of mine. Arvi (the shushing one), his little sister Saima and Evan. Their story is a never ending mess that I haven’t been able to write.

Happy holidays folks!

These are truly difficult times for artists, which is why I want to express my deepest gratitude to those who continue to believe in human art, those who commission work, or those who support us with likes or comments. We are all in this together.🫂

Disappointed in all the littles out there. Not a single kiddo woke me up by jumping on my bed shouting "IT'S CHRISTMAS IT'S CHRISTMAS" Do better next time, lil ones.

HOT GAMING TIP: If you use the "dissociate" counter during cPTSD events often enough during the tutorial stages you gain the ability to add extra members to your party later on! Be careful though, it's RNG whether this adjusts your gameplay to be turn-based, or ✨multiplayer✨

One of the biggest and most socially damaging lies of capitalism has been convincing people that businesses and finance are required to make art.

One must imagine Amelia happy.

earning enough “extra credit” to pass the harkness test how? don’t worry about it~

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

I just want people to realize victims might might not have as easy a time flying their freak flags and that's okay. They should still be given space, support, and safe environments to try it out.

Happy Solstice ❄️

Absolutely heartened by the fact that Amelia "get writing, bitch" picture is spreading far beyond my reach. It's sincere advice! Creation is very important right now for all types of creative types. Make something! Do it! Get the thing out of your head and into the world!
