Coming to @everydayoriginal.bsky.social on Wednesday! "Silver and Roses" A friend of mine has the most stunning rose garden and every year I try and take photos of her dogs and mine with them, this is based on the result of those photos, just magical dogs and magical flowers.

Good for Reuters for changing their headline. Pressure works. Grok did not do this. Elon Musk did.

Another card for Magic:The Gathering This piece was fun, a bright and comic moment. Full of Art Deco and pastry. Painting that croissant was so relaxing.  "City Pigeon" © 2025 Wizards of the Coast LLC  @magic.wizards.com @wotc-news.bsky.social #magicthegathering #wizardsofthecoast #mtgart

Happy third birthday to my most handsome and floofity man Felix 💚

Metal detectorists/mudlarkers in North America: "Look, three pennies and a belt buckle! Best day on the beach ever!" Metal detectorists/mudlarkers in Great Britain: "Remember to report all the dead bodies and live WWII-era ordnance you find. They have a form at the office."

If you buy a hot snake on a whim, you deserve what’s going to happen to you, but the snake really doesn’t.

Finished up this wave painting! Will be varnishing it to bring out the richness but want to let the paint fully dry overnight before applying. This one is up for grabs. Size: 6.5x11" Acryla gouache on paper $600 (US shipping including) DM to claim

I’ve curated another starter pack, this time to make it easier to find artists working in the illustration and comics fields! (If you qualify to be on this list but are not on it let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!) go.bsky.app/JU83vmM

The audiobook of "Swordheart" by @tkingfisher.com is on sale at Chirp for $3.99 today. It works as a standalone even tho the series (Hugo finalist World of the White Rat) technically starts with Clockwork Boys. Daggerbound (Swordheart #2) comes out next August! www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/s...

I’ve met a fair number of dudes at dog parks who are like “yes, my dog is one-eighth mighty Alaskan gray wolf” and I’ve nodded politely at what is very clearly a Labradoodle.

The lessons for heavy DIYers to take from this, btw: If your doctor says your insurance won't approve a newly-released drug you really want to try, don't despair. Ask them if they're willing to do a "peer to peer" if you draft the justification for them to edit to save time.

I hate it when that happens

Drawing again has made me realize how often I’d see a piece of art I admired and I’d think “That’s so cool, I could never do that,” when I couldn’t have any idea of what style or vibe I’d cultivate if I just kept practicing. If I’d even want to make something like that once I’d learned how.

Happy winter solstice to all; from this day onward the light only grows. #death #rebirth #art #cat #wolf #linocut #digitalart

Two miniature graphite pieces that are down in Trinidad hanging in the miniature show at the Kuehl Fine Art Gallery

A little spark of light and color, for this long winter night 🌟 Angel of the Frozen Star - oil on panel.

Happy Winter Solstice! Return to the light by gradual degrees... 🥲

We got an aura frame for ourselves (thanks to those who recommended it for my mom and nana, they’ll open theirs later…crossing fingers) and it’s already paid for itself in laughs due to the fact that we can now cycle through all the memes others have made of our dog. 🐕 🏄🏻‍♀️🌊

1/5 Seeing some tech/ai slop accounts online claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not. Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc All different from GenAi!

These walls that kept me safe

Binding design for the 150th anniversary edition of Edward Fitzgerald's translation of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, published by The Folio Society, 2009. Gold, copper, and silver gouache on blue Winsor & Newton pastel paper. #ArtAdventCalendar

Great horned owl behind our house! I think/hope it's the juvenile that we called Gronker that we saw a few years ago. This was about their favorite spot to hang as well. I'll find a video of them soon. (Hopefully)

Making art is not all joy and fungus reanimated bunnies! That’s okay. That’s normal. That’s part of why art is important and also why artists and writers need to be paid for their work. If you keep dragging yourself back even when it’s hard, you’re doing fine.

So particularly if you are new to this and seeing frequent “if you don’t like making [art] don’t be an [artist!]” and thinking “But sometimes I DON’T like it…” and Imposter Syndrome is gathering you close and whispering you’re-nothings in your ear, please push it away.

Me, but art. I love art. It's still my job. And there are bits that feel like excruciating and self inflicted torture

I would like to articulate one of the BIGGEST misconceptions about cat breed genetics by talking about the NEBELUNG! An extremely rare breed with only SIX(6) in the whole US, and no breeders, yet one that thousands of folk online are convinced they own. Your cat is NOT any breed, and that's okay.

But I also hate it because the more misinformation spreads, the more it gets treated as common knowledge which also makes it harder to track breed-specific health issues, or preserve these rarer breeds. People are in love with the idea of having rare breeds, but hate the folk educating about them.

So, why does this matter? I mean, while it's ultimately harmless, I hate the idea that there are THOUSANDS of people who are in love with the IDEA of having a nebelung while the actual breed is currently on the verge of extinction. And because unethical folk will breed for color to sell a "rare cat"

I guess Toy Story isn't bad? But also maybe not great? Depends on who I am in the story 🤣😅

Finally made it home to downed fences, downed trees, broken fences, no power. And then when Stu tried to walk the dogs (on leash) there were loose Livestock Guardian Dogs in our yard. Whooft. Welcome home I guess. Puck has been a rockstar though and thankfully he wasn't dealing with the LGDs

Puck is doing great. He's a calm little dude for all the change he's been going through. #silkenwindhound I'll update the kennel Bsky more when I get home I'm apparently logged out and don't feel like fighting it right now

I can't state enough just how important this is 💯

This too 👇 It hurts both livelihoods AND the potential creative solutions/discoveries lost for projects themselves.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

the piece is now up on the site :) everydayoriginal.com/product/faer...

ever look at an old piece of yours and think "honestly? i ate" There will be blood alt poster - 2016

My sweet new boy, Puck got to meet new to him friends today

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

you have been visited by the Quail of the Double Top Knot. Like for good luck. Ignore to go fuck yourself.

Me: I need you. I can’t go on without you. Why do you want to hurt me? My lower back: Because you turned very slightly to the left.
