I'll be at festival of the photocopier this weekend with a new zine!

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math. $3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr

Friend was venting a bit about struggling with "moot perception" and I think in 2026 some of you need to regain control and agency of your spaces. Having the "what will my followers think" mindset is self-harming. It's your account, with your rules, and every follower is a guest. Don't forget that.

Draw what you want! Sounds really basic but solely making art with the expectation of popularity + success will poison the well of your artistic spirit, and you won’t really develop an artistic voice if you’re just trying appease your audience at all times, save for a voice that actually isn’t yours

slow death

For anyone else who needs to hear this as much as I did, I just read, “You can’t slow the pace of time. But you can slow down. Take a breath. Take your time.”

give yourself permission. community will support you, but nurture your instincts yourself. artistry consists of bravery, hunger, indulgence, curiosity, discipline, translation, honing of vision and purpose through repetition and experimentation. branding is a dead end goal. don't go on the computer.

ouuughhhh... this might be the end everpony... the stomach ache, it got me...

human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you 🗡️

WAKE UP LOSER WE GOT BILLS TO PAY

Fandom needs interaction to thrive, if u want to keep enjoying art, fic, edits, animations, silly little hcs, and all of that gud stuff, give some of the love back that creators pour out for you, fandom shouldn't be /content/ to mindlessly consume, let it be a dialogue of love and appreciation 🙏✨❤️

yes

I missed my beloved #omcr 💚💙

goodnight sweet prince

Hi, I'm a dog with rabies

pen sketches

will be posting more to kofi this year I think, just generally sketches and anything I dont post on bsky will end up there. I think that will encourage me to draw more in general and without fear. If I can figure out how to set it up, will make it so you can suggest what I draw next... heheh

I’m fortunate to have been able to commission @qae0.bsky.social to do my beloved OC Mat! Thank you for your awesome work ✨ he looks so handsome >.<! #mecharoaroc #halo

all i wanted my entire life is the space and privacy to draw my pictures... i want to play forever, i want art to be a process of discovery and exploration, a conduit for/reflection of evolution. i don't chase a specific thing other than becoming for the sake of becoming and that's my fuckin problem

I think Aadi would pass down his necklace to her #oc
