to add: it speaks also to how the aesthetics of fascism are always stolen or appropriated. the swastika is from euroasian religions like hinduism or buddhism. the fedora was originally women's fashion. gAI being popular among fascists makes sense when its entire function is to steal aesthetics

this is a really good ref pack for horror artists btw

finding yourself wanting to use "psychotic" to describe horrible people, governments, or events? can I present to you: the thesaurus

QRP how you paint women 🖌👌😌

Hi again, there is one week left of my contract with Blind Squirrel Games so I am officially looking for work again! I also now have 5 years experience as an animator! Which is pretty nifty. If you know of any 3D animator jobs or are in need of an animator please reach out. Thank you! ❤️❤️

SHE'S HERE

Close up pictures of my Senshi figure (sculpt by H3llcreator)

Taking pictures of what I've painted: This pair of Dungeon Meshi anime figures probably come in at the 2nd and 3rd largest miniatures that I've painted. I really am proud of the look of the food as well as my metallic armor (with no metallic pigmented paint) and the texture I brought into it all

HERE HE IS!! Its your favourite BIG mecha grandpa (but tiny) I really pushed myself on this miniature & learned so so much by painting him as well as I could but also these minis slap and I HIGHLY recommend picking one up to paint! Hell ye my two favourite hobbies combined! #gundam #Warhammer

If you have two minutes free right now, call Netflix and leave a comment in support of this programming and ask them to stand up for their shows against political pressure. Phone number is 1-866-952-4456, and I waited less than a minute before a human picked up.

As someone completely enamored by their work I wholeheartedly recommend getting Keezy's book AND as an extra bonus wish them the best birthday with a ton of sunshine and michi time as soon as possible 🎉🎉

i dont use chatgpt and im not a chud someone could marry me and itd be so successful

They should bring back the slyvanian families/calico critters frogs. They are so cute 😭

btw it's my birthday tomorrow 🙂 some things you can do for me for my birthday: -buy my book! or check it out from library -read book -tell me nice things about book -leave a review with the nice things somewhere like on goodreads or whatnot* -tell other people about my book -make fanart for me??

And now for today's good news ... a wonderful librarian now has a full time job getting people excited about books. All kinds of books. Even the diverse ones that the government doesn't want you to read.

👻

I need everyone to read Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social. Beautiful artwork, compelling characters, an engaging and creepy story, and amazing compassionate insight into mental illness. 5 stars

Im working on this Over the Garden Wall diorama right now for fall (gonna just a bit of snow later)

FWIW, what Greg has here is a great simple script for anyone phone shy: “Hi, I’m one of [rep]’s constituents, and I would like to tell them to vote NO on any bill that cuts trans health care. Trans health care saves lives, and is worth a government shutdown.” That’s it! That’s all you need to say.

especially for (at least western) washington, i know we can usually count on our electeds to do better than most, but we can't get lazy. cantwell has not been great on this stuff and murray at least talks the talk, but she needs to know we're watching and expecting her to walk the walk, too

happy fat bear week #pixelart #ドット絵

so if you were planning on buying my book but were like idk I'll wait until it shows up in front of me somewhere" know that buying it now will not only help ensure I get to make another book, but it will also help me stick it to the faceless jerks who pre-decided my book was gonna fail

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

inprnt is having free shipping for the next 7 hours just a heads up! didn't feel like doing a new thread of my prints though so here, enjoy this old one that i worked really hard on haha

one more thing before i get to work on my comic!! please come to my party tomorrow haha

#HobbyStreak Day 173. OSL is basically done and he’s on his base!

Authors, one more time: 📣 ANY use of genai will get you onto my "do not read" list. Cover art, interior art, character pages, extras, bookmarks, ads, marketing material, website, all of it. Using it AT ALL means you do not respect or understand the damage that genai has done and actively does.

tbh reposting this on here (there aren't a lot of kids on here) feels a bit futile so I just want to champion Scarleteen as a really incredible accessible resource for kids seeking inclusive sex ed (+ other stuff re: teen safety) and if you can get it into the hands of kiddos now that'd be good

Views from my day trip:

reminding everyone that even if you can't afford to buy a book, if you have a library card, you can probably ask your local library to buy it 😎

Lots to read (and gift to friends) after visiting @keezyyoung.bsky.social at their book signing in Seattle!! They were perfectly wonderful to talk with and I highly recommend getting Hello Sunshine from your local book shop!! (I've read it 3 times since it came out!) www.thenovl.com/titles/keezy...

@keezyyoung.bsky.social It was lovely meeting you and getting to talk and get so many of your books! They actually aren't too heavy in my backpack 😆 I got my Hello Sunshine Spotify Playlist going for the trip home 👌

The most important model I had the chance to sculpt so far (John here). It was made for the Art for Friends charity project! Vae Victis are saying trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

today!!

Does half devil count? Im still painting on this bust from the now closed Big Child Creatives The red/ orange side has been my favorite to paint recently

This is now my favorite comic panel, ever

just a reminder that I'll be at haunted burrow books in cap hill in Seattle at 4pm tomorrow for a signing!! I'll have hello sunshines, plus other books! please come visit me 🫡

I have a favor to ask: On Saturday, Mom and I are driving 3 hours each way so I can be the featured author at the Dolly Day 5k charity run in Yakima, WA. The proceeds of this event benefit Dolly Parton’s children’s book charity that sends a book a month from birth to age 5 for ANY family. 1/2

🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🌽🌽🍂🍂

i was asked to write a one-page letter to readers of hello sunshine and even though i am very bad at being concise i managed to do it in exactly one word past one page haha. thank you so much for reading my book ❤️

#hellosunshinespoilers hhaha poor jamie. so alone in the crowd

Darach, my new forest dragon, has just gone off to be moulded. Can’t wait to paint him up! He’s sculpted with Beesputty polymer clay and will be cast in resin.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE HAPPY HELLO SUNSHINE DAY!! ☀️☀️☀️
