Older moon piece. I think this one was done in 2019. #moon #cat #artist #illustration

Restocking prints for a store and it’s kinda funny having the NASA live feed in the background while working on moon prints.

Did you miss out on the Witching Season Kickstarter? Good new! You can still get a copy as an add on in our Hallowed Ground campaign, happening RIGHT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

As we're just after payday a reminder that it would really help us to ensure @brokenfrontier.bsky.social's future if you set up a monthly £1 donation to our Ko-fi. Especially now that I've taken on all the running costs for @smallpressday.bsky.social too. Thank you! ko-fi.com/andyoliver70...

It is such an amazing feeling selling an original piece, especially around my birthday! I don't know if people realize just how much it makes a difference for small businesses. I'm so thankful. <3

Can I get some shares for my birthday? 🥰 Hello! I’m Rio, an award winning comic and fantasy artist in Colorado. I love the dark and whimsical. Wolves are the coolest. I have a wolf themed oracle deck called The Wolves Within available in my Etsy shop. rioburton.carrd.co

Which one do you prefer? 1st or 2nd?

Some people have plane tickets added to this too! This is partially why I don’t travel to cons like I used to.

Hello Darkness #19 is out today from @boom-studios.com ! Along with my story GUNMETAL GHOST about a grandma with dementia living through a zombie robot apocalypse. How sad can you make a story in 8 pages? Yes 👵🥹♥️

There's AI, and war, and climate disaster, and human rights being stripped away, and we are expected to carry on as normal, and I have to update my LinkedIn because I applied for a job I would love with a publisher, but it's weird over there, and...

My comic is being mean to me. #indiecomics #makingcomics

Opened IG this morning to see scout comics promoting an ai trailer for a comic. I’m not surprised but come the fuck on. I’m so glad we parted ways with them.

A little something with @spacebetweenent.bsky.social

happy horse year~ 🎠🧧 #art #yearofthehorse2026 #cny #lny

I played around with new techniques while challenging myself working with so many dark areas. #artist #illustration

Another autumnal painting. This one fought me a bit lol. #art #painting #gouache

So many bookish events are using ai to promote themselves. Can you not? So many artistic vendors would love to work with them. I've stopped looking at bookish events to vend at because of this. I'm not going to lift an event up if they can't lift creatives up.

I know socials aren’t what they used to be because I’m not being asked “what brush do you use?” 100 times after posting an inking video, lol. (No shade to people asking this, it’s just funny how often it used to come up. I’m happy to share)

Messy hair don’t care #inking #illustration #procreate

Cooldown sketch before the weekend begins 🥰 #artist #sketch

How are you all selling digital products these days? Are you using Etsy, Gumroad, or something else?

Working on the sketch that I’ll later lightbox with Copic liners for inking #art #wip #illustration #oc

I had a Wacom intuos 3 that I loved! Worked for 11 years until my computer upgraded too far. Now I have a Huion. I like having two screens but in the future I may go back to a simple tablet and get a second monitor for two screens. This is the first time I’ve come across the word slablet lol!

Been playing around with Gouache. #painting #art #gouache

Thought I would give this a share! This website lists a bunch of bookish artists for your book cover/interior needs: bookishartists.com **I enjoy working on covers too ;)

I've been working with @spacebetweenent.bsky.social for a while now, and it's always such a pleasure. Right now on Kickstarter, they have a 10th anniversary special going on! I created the Wild Wisps cover ;) www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...

Beautiful morning

I can't say it enough - Find good people to work with and treat them well. You can't control the market, you can't control success, sales, or awards, but you can treat your team well and build strong working relationships and a solid reputation. That's the legacy that is in your hands.

I am SO HAPPY right now! You all have no idea how much these books mean to me. Thank you so much @scottlynch78.bsky.social My husband will come home and see me hunched over these like gollum.🖤

I wonder if these readers have ever looked at manga? Anyway, I'm making a b&w comic right now! <3

Doing some cute work
