Time for another day in the graphic design mines

Attempted to go to the local contemporary art museum and was thwarted by BEING ALLERGIC TO THE EXHIBIT

oh no I'm getting good at Canva

What’s the point of having a phone these days if the only calls I get are from computers checking to see if the number is real so they can sell it to other computers or real estate AI trying to get me to sell them a house I don’t own

Tell me why I’m really out here thinking I could write a sci fi

Pass it along, let’s see your pfp in its full sized glory! Full size is only like.. 4x6” but it counts lol

The clothing swap gods were with me today

Gnawing at the bars of my cage

it do be like this sometimes

Shoutout to this absolute ✨color theory✨ in this WIP that I’m probably not going to finish

My body has been choosing fatigue as its main symptom for the last like 3 weeks so sorry I’ve been kinda quiet. I’ve been asleep

Do yall sometimes get different voices in your head when you’re reading?

What is, is what must be

“You’re alienating half of your audience by being political” Motherfucker, my “audience” is people who aren’t pieces of shit, who care about others. That’s who I make stuff for. There is no “other half”.

Some books make me wish I had a book review blog or something so I could rave about them

Writing artist statements just feels like explaining my delusions

New wife guy standards just dropped 🥹😭

Trying to find a good mental health / journaling app. Thought I found one. But the only furniture you can get for your little guy is “institution chic” and I can’t unsee it. On to the next one I guess.

Balatro my beloved

I've realized that my iPad may not be long for this world either, so I'm hoping to get a new screen tablet! (maybe a Wacom Movink but I'd appreciate any suggestions!) I would really love to do more design work / fan art / merch / etc. Any help is appreciated! ko-fi.com/smallcatstud...

LET'S GOOO!!! Scientists just announced that they brought Trilobites back! After aeons of slumber, it's time to give them back the world they rightfully deserve :) That's why they're releasing a few million out into the wild!

Now accepting applications for a new baseball team to follow that isn't behind a second separate paywall

What is the point of MLB TV if not to watch MLB

At least baseball is back

Reminder that I have memberships on my Kofi! If you want behind the scenes looks at my work, or just want to support your (digitally) local chronically ill cryptid, consider a membership! I can't work right now so any little bit truly means the world ko-fi.com/smallcatstudio

I am having the worst allergy season of my life

Honestly I’ve always been drawing but playing OFF in high school made me realize I could actually Make Something

Finally got into an art show only for the place not to advertise the opening reception at all?? And the time the reception is supposed to be tonight is outside their normal hours? How are they going to take a 30% sales commission and then not do their job to sell it T.T

One thing about being an artist is I will absolutely see omens where there aren’t any

I’m gonna melt T.T

Day 8 of posting old iPad doodles until I can get a new Apple Pencil ( donation link in pinned 🙏 ) An old ref sheet for one of my Artfight characters. I wanted to do more with her but I never really found an excuse to

This is me, starting a new painting while surrounded by WIPs

The world may be grim but I finally won a run of Balatro last night and I’m going to take my wins where they come

My Apple Pencil died!! I use it for a lot of my process, and had some big plans lined up. I'm unemployed right now and can't afford to replace it myself, so I'd really appreciate any help so I can keep working on my art! Anything helps! ko-fi.com/smallcatstud...

I think if people are allowed to sass about not wearing green for St Patrick’s day, I should be allowed to sass them for not wearing blue and white for Oktoberfest

Pitifully batted eyelashes #fantasyart

Night night, sweet dreamies When we give our feelings a voice, they lose some of their weight, becoming a little less overwhelming, a little less heavy, and a little less frightening. There is nothing to be ashamed of in how we feel… it’s all part of what makes us who we are

Drop something red 🩸

Beware the boneyard! One more from the upcoming Pistolheart Vol. 2: the menacing, imposing Skullripper. Volume 1 is on sale for $10 until the realease of Volume 2! >> heartofdaggers.com?s=pistolheart << #artsky #ttrpg #daggerheart #pistolheart

Day 7 of posting old iPad doodles until I can raise money for a new Apple Pencil (donation link in pinned, anything helps 🙏 ) Another ArtFight! This character was so precious

If you see this, post a monster #darkart #horrorart

Day 6 of posting old iPad doodles until I can get a new Apple Pencil ( donation link in pinned 🙏 ) This guy. This creature. I love him. He was a dream I had once. I was having these horrible nightmares and wanted to make a zine out of them so I started sketching them out

I’ve got that itch to work on OC projects again but I do that on Procreate! I’ve got a big secret project in the works I was hoping to be able to announce this year too T.T

The endless crawl of capitalism disgusts me (I want to play Pokopia)

We know this fight is exhausting. That’s not an accident wearing us down is their whole strategy. But you keep showing up anyway, and that means everything to us. Thank you for not giving up. We’re in this together.

Why is it so hard to name paintings

Day 5 of posting old iPad doodles until I can get my Apple Pencil fixed (donation link in pinned 🙏 ) I’ve been working on doing some real branding for my socials, really proud of my Kofi banner!

Day 4 of posting iPad doodles until I can get my Apple Pencil fixed (donation link in pinned 🙏 ) Another Artfight!
