I am so honored I was able to meet @ssavaart.com he's so kind even in real life! Thank you for coming to Seattle! #art #artist

We found the Troll under the bridge and we watered the turtle for good luck!

Seattle! I'm here! Can't wait to meet you tomorrow at @charliesqueerbooks.bsky.social

Is there such a thing as AI Art? youtu.be/xsdgofVdsbU?...

I got to speak to the wonderful folks at @npr yesterday! You can find me around the 10 minute mark. www.npr.org/player/embed... Thank you Larry and Ester from Art on the Air for a fun chat.

Here's some art for any trans friends who would like it. Drop me a message if you'd like the high res emailed to you.

Celebrating my Transgender friends today with some of the Transgender characters I've painted over the years. You are beautiful! You are loved! #transgenderdayofvisibility

Just finished my first ever Coloring Book! 40 illustrations done in 48 days! Can't wait for you to color them in with me! Coming later this year from @hayhousepublishing.bsky.social

Why do people post crap like this? This is AI slop. There's so much beautiful art by the ACTUAL ARTIST people could be sharing and they share THIS??? (You can tell immediately by the lack of paint strokes in the foreground and the photorealistic human so obviously out of place) WHY???

You were meant to be here... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpcu...

I want to do a signing of Becoming an Artist in Chicago next. Any Neurodivergent and LGBTQ friendly bookstore recommendations?

Scottless in Seattle? I'm going to be signing Becoming an Artist at @charliesqueerbooks.bsky.social on April 3rd! I'm so excited to meet you all and if you do NOT have a copy of my book... please reach out to Charlie's to order one and have them hold it for you charliesqueerbooks.com/events/48794...

I just got this back from the framer and it looks *wonderful.* Thank you for creating beautiful art! @ssavaart.com

Really interesting stats on Youtube: I've been doing long-form videos this year (moving away from Shorts) and talking about things OTHER than art from time to time. My latest video, I spoke about Masculinity "what does it mean a Man?" 1/4

Saturday morning inking for my Super Secret Coloring Book project. 🤫

In Today's video, I talk about Lying and I paint something Art Nouveau youtu.be/gdLmdtVGxxo?...

Today's Super Secret Coloring Book page is of a Transmasc (or Trans Masculine) person with top surgery scars. While I've painted transmasc characters a few times in the past, I am asked a LOT to draw someone with top surgery scars. 1/2

I do NOT miss TikTok...

What is Masculinity? What defines being a Man? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bTf...

Jon Bernthal as the Punisher A little 90 minute doodle with acrylics on paper (I hate acrylics and this was not fun for me)

I am of an age where I don't know celebs or musicians or personalities people are talking about and it is EXHAUSTING trying to keep up. I've even had one influencer make fun of me for not knowing a trend. People. I'm doing my best... but I'm 57 and autistic. Please be patient.

My first ever book signing where I am flying to (I've done local book signings) is going to be in Seattle at @charliesqueerbooks.bsky.social I will be there April 3rd from 5 to 7 PM signing copies of my book "Becoming an Artist" 1/2

I did it! I booked my trip to Seattle! I'm doing my first ever flight to a book signing. (So scary and exciting) I found a book store (thank you ALL for the recommendations) and am just waiting the final confirmation to post the day and time.

I've been thinking a lot about overstimulation. I think that (at least for this autistic fellow) we suffer from more than just SENSORY OVERSTIMULATION. (sound, smells, etc) I think all of THIS (gestures to the world around us) is overstimulating too. 1/2

Is it even a coloring book if it doesn't have at least one DRAG QUEEN? (Shh. This is my super secret coloring book and you're not supposed to see this) 🤫

Happy International Women's Day!

New Video up talking about the difference between Cultural Appropriation and Cultural Appreciation. youtu.be/TgpS7o1cSUw?...

Another sneak peek at my super secret coloring book. Someone with a cochlear implant. (also you could totally see all of the times I messed up and used whiteout)

The White House wants an extra $50 billion to fund Trump’s illegal war. That’s on top of the Pentagon’s $1T budget — which Trump is trying to boost to $1.5T. Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private corporations and the Pentagon has failed eight financial audits in a row.

New video up on my Youtube channel. (For those who didn't know... I left TikTok and am not posting videos here either. Just sticking to Youtube right now) So, please follow me there and check out my long form videos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWBz...

Vampire! Another sneak peek into my super secret coloring book I'm doing with Hay House (allegedly)

Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi — and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market. Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets. Always follow the money.

Finished listening to Wizard of Earthsea. I liked it. It was read by Harlan Ellison and it felt like listening to an old man by a campfire. I saw there were more books. Are they good?

I heard Mercury was in Retrograde, so...

Praying for Iran. Praying for the homeland of my fellow Assyrians. Praying for the country my grandparents came from. No one wants war. NO ONE. Iran deserves better. It needs a regime change. But it doesn't need Israel or the USA murdering Iran's people.

“No one has the right to tell others what to do. Not in their art. And absolutely not in their personal lives. We should never tell others how to act. How to dress. How to talk. How to love. How to worship. There is so much beauty in our diversity. In our uniqueness. 1/2

Thank you @ssavaart.com for writing such a lovely book. It was really a joy to read. I hope all my artist friends will get a copy (or they can borrow mine). Everyone should read this whether their art is, drawing, dancing, acting, singing, photography, animation, whatever

First time drawing Bantu Knots.

Anyone else remember the movie Xanadu with Olivia Newton John? I still play the record at least once a week. ELO and the Tubes and even Gene Kelly. (This movie also made 12 year old me want to become a "Giant Record Billboard Painter")

Probably my most tongue-in-cheek title ever... but I think the conversation about kindness and regret and trying to do the right thing and religion is a good one, if you're up for a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWvu...

The U.S. Women's Hockey Team says it is declining President Trump's invitation to attend his State of the Union address, a day after the president jokingly told the U.S. men's hockey team that he would be impeached if he didn't also invite the women's team.

Champions we can all be proud of #women'shockey

I heard it was Elliot Page's birthday today. Here's a little gouache painting I did of him.

Show me your Uber driver.

I use Samsung SSD backup drives (the T9) for storing and editing files for videos for my Youtube channel. They're great. Today, I went to buy a new one and the price was over DOUBLE that of last year's. From $399 for 4TB to $799. Why? AI. 1/2
