this feels like a universal thing i experience all the time lol

Are you a trans person in the US looking to relocate from a high-risk state to a lower risk state? Did you know there’s a $10,000 no-interest loan you can apply for to help you do that? Link here and more info in thread below hfls.org/move-to-thri...

Starting to think about patreon...

Here I am with another watercolor tip no one asked for: Your painting likely will look ugly at some point in the process, and that's natural! This medium is built for layering. Just trust the process and proceed. The end result will surprise you. Anyway, new art later 👀

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

unfinished but was encouraged to post it ;u;

Never underestimate how impactful a reshare of someone's post can be - in a time when folks are constantly struggling just to survive, your reshare could be the only missing link between someone making enough to pay rent or losing their housing bc no one saw their work

My part of our Valentine's day stream. A memory of a fun time in Cobblemon together.

This night was beautiful and so is your art. It's amazing what you've developed in just a year and a half.

Happy Valentine's Day (this is a threat) 💘

The most metal hdywtdt ever played.

I was talking about ctenophores last night and it just made me want to lay on a dock watching the animals go by so badly. This is the part of the winter where the length of time indoors starts to feel unbearable.

More fun little sketches from this past weekend :>

This was sitting mostly done for a hot minute x ^x It's kinda my sona? Metaphors! (Commissions for this style are technically open. I'll make an info thingy for it soon probably)

Had some morpho study kinda grow into something else. I always find ideas come the most when I'm studying.

Bumping with update: goal has been reduced! Please bump if you can, I'm in no position to help financially right now but I'm super worried about my friend

Giving this a bump. I'm worried about my friend, and I wish I could do more, but I'm hoping someone can help.

gofund.me/499a0ac17 Dear friend of mine is in trouble. I want to do more myself, but if you can, please spare him a thought.

PORTFOLIO TIPS FOR ILLUSTRATORS I am an art director who has probably seen close to 1000 portfolios, many great, but many...not 😔 This is a doc I wrote featuring tips and tricks for how to make a better art portfolio site. Feel free to share with anyone who may find this useful <3 #art

Hi, I'm a golf ball sized tumor growing on a 22-year-old's kidney. Normally I'd not produce any symptoms until reaching later stages, at which point I'd be generally guaranteed to kill my host, but this kid had an uncommon immune response that tipped off the ER staff. My host's bestie named me Paco.

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling. I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.

if I were to offer any art advice to anyone it would just be "You really do just gotta make whatever you like, cringe be damned." and also "Get a thicker pen grip. No...even thicker than that."

Heartseed, 9x12, gouache and watercolor on hot press plus three bonus versions! I painted the foreground (gouache) and background (watercolor) on two different sheets then composited them, found some cool layering #art #traditionalart #myart #artsky #painting #gouache #watercolor #digitalart

I'm afraid I'm becoming a terrible, nasty old cunt at record speed. Getting all shitty because people keep making me move so they can get pictures of suiters (and they want *this specific spot*) certainly isn't very cash money of me. Sigh.

Oops I'm at MFF Come to floor wars I'm here with like 90 dancers I know personally

Waterfowl I finally finished the other big WIP! it took forever, and I don't think this captures what the initial vibe was, but I think it's good in its own right. and I learned a ton! #art #artsky #myart #digitalart #digitalpainting #painting #illustration #drawing #darkart

Thanks for the share!! I'm Ash, and I'm still trying to figure out what the heck I'm doing!

Okay okay I tried it too. I do studies sometimes! (no i don't I'm bad about this. I use refs all the time but seldom purely study) @adorkastock.com thanks for the ref, learned a lot
