i’m deep in comm catch-up, doing my best to deliver quality work while struggling with bills/daily expenses. i’d like to avoid adding to my queue, so i’m sharing this as a way to help if you’ve ever wanted to support me or my art <3 thank you for being here! ko-fi.com/ritwells cashapp: $ritwells

one of my good friends passed from cancer this week and im coping but my progress and activity online might be a bit staggered while i process. talk to a loved one today. we never know how much time we have left.

went in for a spine evaluation and i’ll be getting a steroid injection and x-rays - and if these things don’t help then surgery might be the next step. im sure it wont come to that but damn i had no idea it was as bad as they said. art might continue to take me more time than i’d like

In the still of the night

mindless doodles from work

at last!!! 9 hours of work have come together for this final draft :D

it’s always fun when a big piece starts coming together to its final result 😭 i get so excited with each stage of these scenes

Reminder: its not a good idea to equate a person's physical appearance with their morality. That's how we get concepts like 'the undeserving poor'. Don't do it, even with people you don't like. I'm seeing it on this timeline far to often, and it *will* come round to bite you.

hoping to finish this piece up this weekend! lots of details and lighting to add - stoked to draw some sushi 😤 💪

recent headshot completed :-) ❤️

my art at age 6… vs now wild to see how things change

I'm a disabled two-spirit artist who has had to indefinitely postpone transition-related surgeries due to the high risk nature of my condition — I am currently 10K$+ in ongoing medical debt, and have an always-open tipjar to ease the burden. non-emergent, but anything helps. 🖤 ko-fi.com/sabattons

this doesnt go for just art either, as soon as you start learning to replace "i cannot do this" with "i bet i could do that too" you start to grow, and opens many more doors of possibility. stop putting yourself on a level below your inspirations, /everything/ is a skill that can be learned

Calling all Black visual artists! Submissions are OPEN for our 2026 covers! Artists should submit portfolios or work samples which illustrate an understanding of composition, and feature fantastical elements and/or can be categorized as fantasy, science-fiction, horror, & their related subgenres./+

Demanding accountability of the entire trans community for this single mass shooting but not demanding accountability from the cis community for the thousands and thousands of other mass shootings is monstrous beyond all belief.

had another dr appointment for my back issues cos its been going on for so long - im gonna be in physical therapy for my sciatica and for my hand now 😂 this is a first but i’m relieved and grateful that i have access to help

I'm struggling and need help covering rent. Here's my Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/coywolfy #mutualaid

Building up a database of artists/illustrators (especially BIPOC and minority) to reach out to for future collabs/paid work! Looking for anyone who loves drawing horror, folklore, and dark fairy tales, as I've a few things coming up in that field. 💀🪦 Interested? Drop those links and examples below!

just a reminder: please take care of yourselves, mentally & physically. take breaks from being online when you can. respect your limits. the system wants us exhausted, disorganised, & distressed. if we’re going to fight the long fight, we must take time to nourish what joy and health we still have.

sometimes i think i charge a lot for my art then. i see other peoples prices and im like… okay so i might be underselling but at the same time, i also like having art thats accessible to people who cant always afford the high prices cos same? the dilemma

thank you for all the well wishes!! i am very fortunate given the situation- even luckier that it happened during a work shift so i qualify for worker’s comp. i’ll be focusing on drawing this coming week since i can’t do the manual labour i do at the warehouse for a little while - small blessing 😭

If you're US-based, this will be the last chance you have to get something from my shop without tariffs (unless a TACO happens) Because of this (and also potential dental fees), I'm running a 15% off sale on everything till 8/22 #indigenousart #formline #telekitneticart 🔗 ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

🔥♥️ HELP LAYLA ♥️🔥

just got out of urgent care with 15 stitches in my left hand from a gnarly work injury and all i can say is thank god it wasn’t my drawing hand lmfaooo

‼️⭐️🤍🤎🖤⭐️‼️ FURRY ARTISTS WHO ARE POC. promote your work below!! Make some connections! Everyone else come look :3

been thinking about the convo around boosting, allyship, and performativity online. marginalised artists ask for visibility because algorithms can bury their work. a single repost from a larger creator can mean reach, opportunities, even livelihood. that frustration is real and needs to be heard.

audhd/bipolar 2 hypomania has me doing super great for 5 days or so, then i’ll feel the crash coming one day after work and it can be difficult to put everything on pause to recover without guilt. im learning how to work with it but jesus its truly frustrating sometimes

sometimes you give it your best shot and it doesn’t pull through. so you dust yourself off, trust the strength in making attempts, and try again in a different direction.

another headshot finished ✅ trying to keep up as best i can!

my girlfriend had a booklet made of some of my work from the past year for our summer anniversary 😢 i have never been loved like this before by a partner ❤️‍🩹 yes i cried

[manifestation voice] one day i will be financially bolstered enough to pay large sums of money to artists. one day i will be financially bolstered enough to pay large sums of money to artists. one day…

“just keep going.”

(a personal ramble) i’ve had so many restarts lately & it can be guilt-inducing to think i’ve got my shit together & tell everybody that i do, only for the next days to get sidetracked & i fall behind again. i’m finally getting better at giving myself grace, but also trying to continuously -

“just keep going.”

i am closing out most of my other comm spots and offering one 5-8 character piece to compensate for rent & prescription fees. base price for 5 chara is $700 ($140 each) and additional characters are +$80 each. turnaround: 12 months max! to order: ko-fi.com/c/6a799d9d95 thank you for your support!
