happy halloween 👻

I try not to assign too much importance to social media likes but it does kinda suck when you spend hours and days on a piece and it flops bc of algorithms 😭

it’s finally done 🤝

just not really fun sharing art online anymore is it

It's coming...

If you celebrate Christmas, do you get into “the spirit” right after Halloween or does it take longer? It’s hard to give much thought to Thanksgiving when the stores have had Christmas decorations since mid-October! #peachtober25 #peachtober #kidlitart

it’s finally done 🤝

Writer friends, what apps/programmes do you use to help you organise your ideas and your writing?

hoping some of you lovely people can help with this but I’m looking for some refs of real buildings that fosters home for imaginary friends was based on and also for other buildings drawn or animated in this style bc I want to do a bit of a study of this type of style

I really hate doing this but I just got a lot of charges that took a huge chuck from my bank account. So I’m putting this here for some extra help. Thank you in advance ko-fi.com/rsdream12/go...

Adette Project: Clean up and Outfits Part 1 There will be more, I can draw clothes for Adette all day!

I loved making and posting my art online 4-5 years ago because it was fun and I felt connected to everyone I followed and saw online but with all these website changes and algorithm changes, the connected part feels shattered and it’s not as fun

hopefully someone can help me with this… does anyone know if I can get some sort of wire/rack add on thingy for this market display unit that I could have hooks on to hang up sticker packs with?
