i got the job 🎉

i guess i'm thinking about it since it was one of the interview questions. why did i quit what in reality is one of my favorite past jobs that was quite fulfilling and taught me so much i still use on a near-daily basis. well i couldn't tell you. but it's certainly a regretful decision

actually i think sometimes about how i could have had it all if not for being disabled. i probably would have bought a home a few years ago if i had the capacity for consistency & FT work... 👍

i had a job interview at a pretty awesome place today for a job i'm pretty sure wouldn't be miserable (neglecting disability. do not have the money to care about that) and i'm hoping it went well. i should hear back by the end of the week ......

my animal sucks & is ugly

i have a lot of thoughts on the intersection of technicality and creativity in art, it is difficult to balance both well. but i don't think it should matter all that much. i get too in my head about technicality which stunts my creativity... i think approaching art with a long list of rules sucks

maybe i'm nuts but i've always hated peoples insistence on never ever ever shading with black. and i get it! it's good to be aware of color theory and all that. but i feel like it can absolutely be a style thing as well and shifting collective perception of it as being something bad is kinda lame

it would be nice to get diagnoses so i don't feel horrible talking about anything but my doctor's kindof awful and idk. the things i'd need to talk about are things that by nature of the disorder i am barred on talking about so like. Lmfao

and a beans that tora really really liked

also @ last art post. this is what i woke up to today. life imitates art

it always makes me wonder about how it would look to throw some orange/leave some undyed in my hair irl. i have the evidence that it's cool but the execution irl...... it's daunting

job interview tomorrow 👍 i love applying to places i know i physically cannot last at but yk. money is money 👍

couple of sona doodles, rightmost is the most accurate depiction of what bedtime is like with my 3 beasts • #art #furryart #commsopen •

idk how to be articulate about this but i have always had difficulty with the concept of a future. i know its due to all sorts of issues stacked on one another but gd it is difficult to be half-functional especially in a society built to tear the less fortunate down

i've always been put off by the concept of careers partially due to this reason which goes severely underlooked. 👍

the 1 thing i wish bsky had is like the tag feature tumblr has. where it isnt always used for tagging but can be for commentary. i want to comment/compliment some stuff sometimes without having to quote repost and i also want to add commentary on some posts of mine that isnt clutter. 🤬

it's simple. i am two mocas tall • #art #furryart #commsopen •

oops i should repost that with tags i'm bad at social media

she is neat 👍 #art #commsopen

Another quick study of Jennifer Gennari's art which is so fun! Still making a whole new procreate impasto oil painting brush that will be free once I figure out how to actually use it. #art #artstudy #digitalart #animalart #digitaloilpainting #procreate #catpainting #cats

"Perhaps a person is out there, understanding the pain i inflict on others, is a cry for help on why i was created."

would love if someone equally insane about wildcats and tarot would pick apart that list with their thoughts coz there's some i'm not super huge on but. yk. limited options....... there are some that are deliberate though of course

went nuts. figured it out

going to go nuts trying to attribute a cat to each card tho. ahhhhhh

this kinda fun

1 sec maybe i'm cooking with this idea. wildcats for major arcana, domestic cats for minor & idk. maybe themed face cards.......... hmmmm

tonights stuff, 2hr / 20 min

and the model in question.....she was cuddling a box flap earlier awwwww so cutes awwwww.

and speedpaint for that one for funs

meant to practice hour paintings and spent way too long on that one oups
