I knit. No one could afford my knitting if I were to sell it, but the most important part is *I don't want to*. I do it because I want to spend time doing something I love and give gifts to people (or use myself) the things I make.

I mean ... Not wrong

I am still working hard on learning/improving with watercolors. I like how this one turned out; the flowers got a little messier than I'd have liked, but I still learned a lot. 👍 And I have a good scan of the sketch that I can print on watercolor paper if I ever want to take another crack at it.

F) For the love of all that is good and holy stop wondering if your idea is any good! That way lies madness. Your idea, whatever it is, will live or die by its execution. Commit to your idea. Eat and drink your idea. Play with it, have fun with it.

this is fucking amazing, I am yelling, brava

I have so little time for personal art nowadays that it has become precious to me. This year of 2025 I made these two that I adore - Time's End and Sea of Giants, both for a personal project :)

Art vs Artist 2025 version ✨ I've painted a lot this year! And read a lot! And written a lot! I do like what I make, but I want to become even better, and right now I yearn to study and evolve, while drawing my blorbos and just doing stuff for fun again. ❤️ #ArtvsArtist2025

Duck Prints Press has had a great 2025! We crowdfunded two new anthologies as well as a new novella, novel, and novelette! We also did two large art projects. Here's a short thread about our projects!! 🧵 (1/4)

If ai bros start flooding bsky the best thing to do is not respond to their posts. Just block. I've learned it's pointless to debate them. The best thing to do is suffocate them by ignoring. They are lazy and want instant gratification that's why they use ai..don't give the satisfaction.

Dear newcomers to Bsky, in the early days of this site, we collectively decided that blocking and not engaging is better than bringing some shit to your feed by quote dunking. Quote dunking is a faux pas here. Don't do this. See someone who's wrong on your feed? Block them and move on.

done! (mostly, will probably do some minor edits and weathering when I get back to my laptop haha) #sinners

I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends. This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.

I just finished my holidays, they were so fun!! but i realized i forgot to post my last comm of the last batch, sorry @treewitchery.bsky.social !!! Here is your tarot with Godwin and Alistair <3

My 2026 Word Tracking spreadsheet is finally available! I am so, so sorry that it's so late this year. Everything has gotten away from me (which should be another blog post entirely, when I get to the year end wrap-up). Links will follow in a thread! #writingresource #wordtracker #writing

Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

Happy Winter Solstice. The light is coming! This is the Holly King who is now at the peak of his powers. Fortunately his ascension is complete so we can look forward to the emergence of the Oak King and moving into the light. From my reduction linocut ‘The Holly King versus The Oak King’.

'Here We Come a-Wassailing' linocut print combining the Christmastide Wassail and the Orchard Wassail. The latter folkloric practice is done to awaken the cider apple trees and to scare away evil spirits to ensure a good harvest of fruit in autumn. I regret not including Ian McShane.

Ack I forgot to say - we're here til 4!

Pst. I have a golden foil print of this one. featherfangart.etsy.com Unfortunately, our post service decided to go bonkers starting Jan 1st and is setting up a flat rate for everything under 1kg - 15 EUR to EU, 24 EUR outside of it. So I recommend grabbing it now (while it's still 7-9 EUR).
