If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

It’s that point in time before a big convention that I am 100% overthinking everything.

Unless one has the means that allow for certain possibilities, very often, the urgency of making a living robs the artist of the time required to make masterworks.

I already said I’m voting for him

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

The fact that everyone knows exactly what this song is about is wild. www.instagram.com/reel/DNoxUTx...

Finally got around to framing this lovely piece by @dianateeterart.bsky.social, from NY Comic Con a couple-few years ago. How sweet are these two NYC icons? I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it #art

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

To nobody's surprise, beating yourself up does not, in fact, cure burnout. Doesn't stop me from doing a surprised Pikachu face when I catch myself doing it tho

Block anyone who implies it’s crass to try to sell art bc of “Everything Going On.” Motherfuckers there is going to be a LOT going on FOREVER, and artists sell art AS THEIR JOB. Do you go to fuckin McDonalds and scream at the staff “HOW COULD YOU BE MAKING FRENCH FRIES AT A TIME LIKE THIS??” Grow up

There’s 10 days left to preorder/pledge for a little green bug plushie! And, we’re 80% funded! 🌿 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fos... Reshares are immensely appreciated so we can get this guy funded! We’re so close 💕💕

Was visited by baby aliens at the banding station today 👽👽👽 (American Woodcock)

Hello artist. Look at me. Hold my hands. I want you to succeed so badly. I am manifesting this for you.

Even though the Golden Ratio is mathematical beauty, doesn't mean your back needs to be shaped as such. Straighten up!

I know the law

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.

I haven’t been posting much here lately. Honestly got very disappointed in this platform after being spam followed by 1,500+ bots after a vaguely political post went viral.

Shop update is now live! dianateeterart.bigcartel.com

Not a huge product drop but all things I am very happy with. Tomorrow at 2:00 it will all be up in my shop.

Shop update coming tomorrow at 2:00! I’ll post pictures soon.

New Yorkers, please call your state rep, state senator, and Kathy Hochul and tell them NO MASK BANS. This garbage proposal would kill people. We're on the verge of a measles epidemic and this terrible governor is pushing this? NO. Find your reps here: reps.fyi gothamist.com/news/gov-hoc...

Artists running their own business: I'm exhausted, I'm so close to snapping. I work 80 hour+ weeks to keep this business afloat, I do everything myself, I haven't gotten to draw or get 8 hours of sleep in weeks... Someone: ah, yes. The artists aren't sharing info because of the elitism.

Listed some new little pendants today!

What if the strongest among us elevated others instead of surpassing them? What could our world look like? Using my animals to paint out some big feelings and difficult thoughts.

Got the City Pigeons ready for the kiln today! One (fancy) step closer to a glaze fire :)

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

This is my favorite of the three babies I painted. Was very tempted to keep this one but alas, I will let it go. Preview is now up in my shop. The trio will be available Saturday the 15th at 1:00 pm eastern dianateeterart.bigcartel.com

I’d like to spread some love, so maybe I could help share some artists webshops? Mind sharing your favourite gift in your art webshop or that of a fellow artist? Please share it! I’ll try and repost as many as possible. Get some valentines gift from independent creators!

Here is the second of the three baby opossum paintings!

I’m painting a few more baby opossum Lightbringers. This is the first of three. All will be added to my shop this coming Saturday (February 15th) at 1:00 eastern.

It was super joyful to have this painting to work on this week. It’s for an art trade so it already has a very wonderful home.

A math problem: if it takes me about 15-20 seconds per account to figure out if it is a bot then block it if it is, how long will it take me to purge the bot followers that found me from that viral post? It’s about 99% bots in case you were wondering.

A little bit about me for the new folks! I’m a NYC (Queens) based artist. Most of what I post is my art or my art business. This pigeon painting is the work of art I’m most recognized for. A lot of my art is influenced by the nature and culture of NYC.

Repost for all my new friends! I’m all about community care, here is a way for you to help me help.

Had to change my interaction settings on the library post. It was too much for my brain to process! I’m just a little introverted artist/librarian

Hi new friends! If you found me via the library post, welcome ❤️ Most of my posts are about my art but I do get a little feisty and political too. Mostly it’s my art. Get ready for cute animal paintings in your feed 😊
