How is it 2026 already?! Anyway, here’s my art vs. artist for 2025 (not including all the Christmas gifts I made for people) That spider is getting tattooed on me at some point this year or next :)))

Very very occasional “hi I’m still alive, here’s some chainmail” post I’m gonna wear these this weekennnnnnd✨✨ Also, Sweet Pea weave is a pain in the ass (but in a fun way)

I re-did week 1 of Funguary because my first attempt at it honestly kinda sucked (and I was intending to go a different direction with the drawings) 😅 Mushrooms in this prompt were: enoki, morel, chicken of the woods, wrinkled peach, spotted cort, veiled lady, and inky cap!

Happening now at Trump Tower, activists w/ @jvp.bsky.social calling for release of Mahmoud Khalil @thecity.nyc

How it started vs. how it’s going (I’m so happy I walked the long way home from the grocery store four years ago! Happy adoptiversary, Delilah!)

…and the final week of Funguary is DONE!! The prompts were: oyster mushroom, fairy ring mushroom, purple pinwheel, indigo milkcap, trumpet of death (metal AF name right?? lol), scarlet cup, and Caesar’s mushroom Next up: redo week 1 because that was ✨tragique✨ and turned out looking like dookie 🤦🏻‍♀️

Dropping in with another Funguary post! Week 3: complete! ✔️ The prompts for this past week were mycena clorophos, puffball mushroom, pink waxcap, turkey tail mushroom, red basket stinkhorn, pixie parasol, and bird’s nest mushroom 🍄 🍄‍🟫

I’m doing Funguary again this year! This past week’s prompts were: destroying angel (not to be confused with Morbid Angel, Dark Angel, or Death Angel…I’ve accidentally called it all three lol), parrot waxcap, guepinia, devil’s cigar, cremini, fly agaric, and crepidotus 🍄 #funguary

Now that these have gotten to their recipients, I can show you what I’ve been working on: chainmail earrings and necklace, and a chainmail bracelet, for my two friends who got married a couple days ago! We’re all on a metalhead cruise right now and it’s AWESOME btw🤘🤘🤘

Kelly let me pet her for the first time without being distracted by either a meal or a Churu treat!! Took nearly four months after bringing her indoors, but some feral cats require more patience than others lol 😅

This late-night post brought to you by me apparently falling asleep in the middle of American Horror Story after drinking a whole pot of coffee. Oops. Unique talent I’ve got here 😂

QRP with your fanart! I made a whole world in Sims 3 based off Rose of Versailles and one of my lil side characters became my favorite! Sorry, Lady Oscar, sorry, Marie Antoinette 😂 Here is Dahlia :))) #fanart #ballpointpen #roseofversailles #rococo

I was telling my brother how much I would like to simply gently hold a dark-eyed junco literally last night, they’re like a bazillion on the cuteness scale 😭🖤

Wore the earplug earrings to go see Venom Inc. tonight, here’s how they look in use :)) they stayed put through 3+ hours of headbanging and a bit of moshing sooo…✨success✨

First time playing around with stainless steel jump rings. They’re not as hard to work with as I’d thought! Yay! Made some earrings that I could attach to the handles on Loop earplugs, now I no longer have to worry about losing them at shows :D

Kelly is finally being accepted by the other two fuzzy chaos goblins (somehow three tiny cats playing tag sounds like a herd of elephants stampeding…I don’t get it either haha)

Oh hey would ya lookit that, more chainmail posting (shocking, huh??) Here’s a choker I made myself the week before New Year’s + my weirdo bog witch self wearing it with a tanktop I upcycled into a dress #chainmail #goth

Slithering in from an undisclosed glittery bog with some chainmail stuff I’ve made recently! Earrings for my brother’s girlfriend (first picture) and my mom (second through fourth pictures)

I’ve seen a few people on other social media sites already posting their Art Vs. Artist for the year so here’s mine! I’m not working on much other than gifts for people (so I can’t post those until the end of the month) for the rest of the year anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️ #artvsartist2024

Guess who got a long-awaited double dermal piercing yesterday~ (And by long-awaited I mean three or so years lol, I wanted to be sure about this thing and I’m happy I got it coz it looks siiiiiiick!!) I do look a bit scary, my face was already starting to bruise but I figured that would happen haha

Pumpkin pie ice cream! And I made it with coconut milk so I don’t feel like death after eating it lol 🥲 it turned out so well, I friggin love pumpkin

I’M SEEING HYDE TONIGHT OMG OMG OMGGGGGG I’ve been a fan of L’arc-en-ciel since I was 13, this is so coooooool 😭🖤

Almost done with season 1 of American Horror Story! Special shout out to the dentist episode, Matt Ross’s character being all ~la la la I’m just a surgeon doin’ surgeon stuff😌✌️✨🔪🪚 was (unintentionally?) hilarious

Diggy Mo just can go "ERRREHAHAAAAH" and I go hell yeah youtu.be/fK1K2jlT7Rk?...

I did something different for #inktober this year— usually I just do a few art pieces but this time I did a comic! It’s technically a prequel to a much longer story I’ve had kicking around in my head since high school. I used to doodle sketches for it in my notes during class 😅 1/5

Let’s show off our blue art! Requote with some of yours~ 💙

Working on a Ribon no Kishi inspired choker! There’s something so satisfying about making Romanov units hahaha

Posting more of my chainmail adventures! Here’s a halter top I made this summer (and it’s battle-tested lol, I wore it to see Unleash the Archers and Powerwolf earlier this year and went to a bar afterwards and there were zero wardrobe malfunctions, hell yeah)

Ooh. Okay. How about… Main character starts listening to forests. Multiple forests. Realizes their sounds have a pattern. Realizes said pattern seems linguistic. One day MC gets the opportunity to hear the “sound” of deep space. The forests aren’t just talking…they’re *answering* something

So, I do chainmail now! Have been since this May, actually. It’s fun (and I’ve only gotten bit by my pliers a couple times! SUCCESS) Earrings~ That’s antique lace on the last pair, it was a pain in the butt to thread through there because it kept almost tearing haha

I haven’t been on here or Twitter much since my sweet friend Parker passed away earlier this year. Feels wrong to log in & not see a meme he posted or a photo he took, or nerd out together over stuff. But I think he’d want me to keep posting art & music & whatnot. He liked when I did that. So. Yeah.

It’s wild how something as simple as taking the long route home from the grocery store so you can finish listening to a song can change your life. Well, I’m glad I did just that 3 years ago today. Happy adoptiversary to my chaotic kiddo, my Tiny Cat! I love you Delilah!!

On Twitter there’s an art challenge called “Funguary” which is basically like, “it’s February, here’s some mushrooms, draw them!” And I love drawing mushrooms so I do this every year. This year I’m doing mock-up sketches for a larger painting I’m gonna do later on, here’s week 1. (Week 2 incoming!)

roses are red your family sucks against my better judgment i think we should fuck -darcy

Time to plonk some more of my art here because this account is lacking in it. 🥲 My brother asked me to paint something for his girlfriend and just said “be as weird as you want, she likes green and yellow” so…yep. Those are her rabbits, the big one is actually that big.

Friends, I wrote up a quick guide to getting started on Bluesky for folks who are used to old Science Twitter. Please share it with your folks who are joining. And please let me know if I missed anything or got anything wrong. 🧪 www.southernfriedscience.com/bluesky-is-n...

I’m terrible at keeping up with more than one or two forms of social media at a time but here’s my art vs artist for 2023! Another year, another “Kat avoids drawing realistic faces by slapping an object on top of a neck” hahaha.

I’m reminded of the time my brother and I were watching the World Cup and spontaneously burst into Queen when the announcer said the defense was under pressure. 😅

Got a trio of new ear piercings last weekend and I just need to shout into the digital aether because they’re currently at the “WHY DO YOU ITCH SO MUCH DAMMIT” stage. And I can’t scratch them. Argh. 😭

Happy Halloween , somebody was playing that one haunted house organ music piece on the subway platform as I was coming home from St. Vitus and you better believe I fucking strutted like it was a Paris runway.

For National Cat Day , here are some very good girls. Yes, that last picture is Graysie investigating a miniature apple. She was fixated on them for some reason…actually all my cats seem to be/have been. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A sizable chunk of my family lives 20-40 minutes from Lewiston. I went to high school 30ish minutes from there. In Maine that’s not a lot. We didn’t know any of the victims but still, it really shakes your sense of security to have something like this hit so close.

Inktober day 25. Finished the stone wall! Guess what I’m starting on tomorrow for the companion piece to this… 🥲

Inktober day 24, in which I question my decision to do the whole background as a stone wall. 😑

Inktober day 23: the tale of “why the hell does this stonework take so long to draw in??”

Inktober days 21 and 22. Sketched in some mushrooms and managed to smudge graphite all over the place. God dammit.

Inktober day 20, no comment just GRAPHITE.

Inktober day 19. Eyeball lady number 1 is taking shape.

For Spacetober Day 18: Nebula, how about a good ol’ Nebula Teapot #SciArt #pottery

2:30am, time to rebody a Barbie! (I’m once again asking for the Fashionista dolls to have more articulation…)
