Still one of my favorite watercolor paintings, this is from 2019. The complementary colors 🥰 I have a time lapse of the painting process where I also talk about 'hating your art': www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm9b... (10:44 min) #art #traditionalart #sketchbook #watercolor

Hi! I'm Aimee. I do dark ethereal ominous works a lot of the times. I also have a book coming out in November: TheLuckyMachine.com that is more sci-fi, but hits you with the dark dystopia in all the right places.

While I'm not as active on these platforms compared to Bluesky, you can also follow me on: Mastodon: mastodon.art/@sambeawesome Tumblr: www.tumblr.com/sambeawesome And it's free to follow me on Ko-Fi and VGen: Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/sambeawesome VGen: vgen.co/sambeawesome/

Got a blue bandana (I THINK THAT BLUE ONE IN THE PHOTO EVEN?) earlier this month and was able to wear it out for the first time today and got so many compliments. 🩵💙🩵

Not much time left to grab one of these before they cycle out for the new drop for October 👀

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment #bskycensorship

I was thinking about starting a new initiative in 2026 where I could provide 1 free book cover artwork to an author that got got by AI slop And now I'm thinking maybe there are other artists who would want to do this too? Is this something you might be interested in?

I miss when AI meant adobe illustrator Btw I also hate adobe illustrator

Gonna do some crochet today at 12pm Eastern (like ten minutes from now) twitch.tv/sambeart

A meet cute in which I bump into a beautiful woman. My briefcase opens and 100 colored pencils tumble out. “Oh, excuse me, sorry, ma’am,” I say. We both bend down to collect the pencils. “Wow…” she says. “Holbeins. And Polys and Prismacolors…” “You color??” I reply in awe. She shrugs demurely.

I love limited palette challenges when it comes to artwork, and what's more limiting than one marker? 😉 I'd love to do this again one day. #copics #sketchbook #ocart #traditionalart #art

My Etsy shop is still on sale this weekend. Times are tough. The husband is sick with Covid still I’d love a few sales. Take a look if you have time. My global warming Christmas tree are a big hit with the parents in laws as gifts! And there are mugs (making more) and jewelry. Surly.etsy.com

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad. Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

I’m glad to see more artists turn away from the overproduction norm of Patreon and Ko-Fi and use the platforms more like tip jars. We’re all so tired already, we shouldn’t have to burn ourselves out even more for a couple extra bucks a month

I mean if even the most milquetoast, bland, inoffensive things can get censored…you might as well be bold and make something brutally honest and weird. What’s the point in compromising, they aren’t happy with compromises either. Just make some weird shit.

Want art from me, but are on a budget? I got you! Get a portrait of your character, pet, yourself/someone you know for only $15! Perfect for a little treat 😊 Only two slots left at this price, only on Ko-Fi! ✨ ko-fi.com/c/28f50015d8 #commsopen #commissions #artcommisions #KofiExclusiveChallenge

Another Art Fight attack, this time for Brutus25 of their girlfriend's character JJ. Did some experimenting with this one, I'm pretty proud how quick and easy I whipped it up, gg me x'D #artfight #teamcrystal #furry #furryart #art

The art community on bsky, when it first started, was absolutely incredible and there was one reason it was so good: Comments! Artists would comment and engage with each other so much, and it made it so lively and fun and filled with community. Take a moment to leave a comment each day~!

Every time I see someone say they're boycotting Disney for x reason, 'x' is always a new reason I hadn't seen before. If you're new to boycotting Disney, I promise you you have endless reasons to choose from. Welcome in. :)

I woke up to someone having bought two original artworks from me! 😱 My graphite portrait of a parrot and a mini beach painting! (Only two left now :o) And the tip too, thank you ;; <3 ✨ ko-fi.com/sambeawesome... #art #shop #traditionalart #animalart #painting

artists... use those 3d assets.... look up references....trace pictures of your own hands... it's not cheating, it's self care, so love yourself :)

A dream of the fields study

March 23, 2020 vs July 9, 2025 I've definitely learned quite a few things since then, though a bit hard for me to see much an improvement jump. But honestly, this desert piece is still one of my favs, so I might be biased lol. I also took a year off from drawing in 2024.

more people should give their ocs funny and meaningless flaws. a minor allergy to apples they refuse to admit is an allergy. a fear of birds. a deeply held conspiracy theory that is so untrue and ridiculous they very rarely even mention it

It's my birthday!! I'm 49 - how did that happen? I would LOVE it if you could share or follow my art for my birthday, that would be a brilliant gift! Thank you everyone who follows and comments, it is such a great place here! 49 feels ace btw. #artshare #birthday #watercolour www.emilyhare.co.uk

feeeees duuude. 5% already feels huge, then stripe/paypal is another fuckin slappp if you're an artist taking comms online, PLEASE be exporting your paypal/vgen/stripe summary at the end of the year and claiming those fees as a deductible. i have somethin like $900usd of fees to report every year

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.
