When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."

This happened. I have no regrets. (I did get some actual work done this morning).

Sometimes Ed needed to touch water. To see how far the current would take him before real life's tether pulled taught. Thrumming like a guitar string. Always better with a pretty blond next to him though. (adopted sketch for lovely @ann-banann.bsky.social!) #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #DrawEdTeach

I just found the best edit ever of Ilya Rozanov #HeatedRivalry (Edit by @elllenhutter on instagram)

I'm not going to say this to him, but my husband's semi-retirement is almost like a personal Covid-era lockdown for him. So far I have a new deck, a new bathroom, a remodeled kitchen and a partially redone backyard. Today he started to teach himself how to make bread. ADHD construction skills FTW.

Discovered a new source of kinetic energy.

Like the dog is capable of absorbing his misery and heartache and not so much get rid of it but hold it - telling Ed his feelings are not too much but precious. One of my pieces for The Hounds of Love by lovely @appleteeth.bsky.social! archiveofourown.org/works/749016... #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

I finished my Our Flag Means Death animatic! I wanted to really lean in to making a very romantic song and dance, something I don't get to do often professionally. I hope you'll enjoy it! Help me get the word out! #OFMD #storyboard youtu.be/mz_jr64MDDM?...

It's time for my annual birthday/ Pride drawing and this year I was having many thoughts about Shane & Ilya getting to spend their first pride together- even if its quietly/ privately.🖤 ...and then I made myself sad thinking abt this being their first ever photo together.🙃 #HeatedRivalry #Hollanov

We were staying at an RV park near Sarasota; that night I painted a tiny 2”x3” study of the sunset we saw there along the key, which I used as reference for this piece. . 8”x8” Oil on cradled wood panel Available on my website.

During a ballet performance of “Romeo and Juliet” in Izmir, Turkey, a cat unexpectedly joined the actors in the final scene of the show and completely stole the show with its antics.

I'm having tons fun with the new pics that are floating around... <: I hope you like this portrait of another Disaster Vampire 💙 #Lestat #TheVampireLestat #LestatDeLiouncourt #SamReid #IWTV #InterviewWithTheVampire #AnneRice #Wisesesnail

There’s always one really intense sunset photo I manage to capture every roadtrip, and this past May it was seen from the highway. Here’s a painting of that image. . Virginia 6”x6” Oil on cradled wood panel

It was Shane's turn to be put in a slutty little outfit- y'all can decide what the occassion is 😏. (Also- I tried something new with colouring this one and I *think* I like it.) #HeatedRivalry #ShaneHollander

I'm so confused how a teen of color gets tagged with something racist at a party (among dozens of other tags), someone else takes a picture, and it is the TEEN who is getting the blowback?

If ever you want to really reset your ad feed, just google "wallpaper" and click on at least one result. Any other thing will get crowded out by Big Wallpaper.

When @annettefb.bsky.social asked me to draw Stede as a showgirl for the @ourfamilyourfight.bsky.social commission they won, I was very enthusiastic! I actually had a ton of references already because I saw Dita Von Teese perform a while back and left with *ideas*

#TheVampireLestat is holy shit, OMG, wowowowowowow SO good!
