First Life List painting of 2026, a California Condor soaring the skies! I specifically painted Condor 550, who I saw at Julia Pfeiffer Burns SP. I used my own photo of her as a pose reference! Watercolor and Chinese ink on Arches Cold Press #BirdArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #AnimalArt 1/3

Happy Penguin Awareness Day!

AMAZING DRAGON (1982) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" x 19" When Amazing Stories commissioned me to do the cover for the premier issue of their newly redesigned magazine, I decided that the painting should encompass both the realms of science fiction and fantasy. 1/3

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.” “Why?” asked Frog. “I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.

Not much to say about this except, yeah, this one would definitely be in the aquarium touch pool. Or an aquarium "that hermit crab said we can totally use its old shell to play fetch" pool. #Art

Here's a short eared owl for today's #birbfest. Tried to save some time by not going realistic today but then got into a won't stop, can't stop fugue state with the patterning... oh, well 😂 #BirbFest2026

It's #PortfolioDay! Watercolour freelancer here looking for work that involves dragons, creatures and anything fantasy related. More here: emilyhare.com/portfolio

HELL YEAH!! Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show! And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time! So congrats friends! We did this together!!! 🙌🙌💖💖💖

Monthly Disabled Creators boost! - Share your fiction, essays, poetry, fanfic, thinkpieces, and other writing below. - Go into the notes and look for works to read and share. - Follow new creators and make your feed brighter! NSFW and erotica welcome. #WriteSky #ActuallyDisabled

I feel most confident thinking something weird in concept or texture and just going with it. That's the place I'm happiest in and learn the most in.

GenAi has NO place at Comicon, ESPECIALLY at art shows! By doing so Comic-con signals to older and newer generations of artists that their exploitation and replacement is worth putting on a pedestal.👎 Anyway here’s their email. Feel free to politely share thoughts: artshow @ comic-con.org

Coverage for Gaza has died down recently, so I wanted to remind folks that lots of people are still struggling. The Gaza Soup Kitchen opened its 14th location recently, and they are accepting donations. If you have some money to spare, please consider sending some spare funds their way.

imagine crashing out that an event that concentrates a lot of people nationally & internationally into one crowded place with freelance artists who may not be able to afford getting a debilitating illness, doubly so if they are immunocompromised, would require masking up in public areas

it's so important! literally, a tumblr reblog of one of my paintings by a BNF (that's big name fan for those of you who aren't cool like me) back in 2015 led to a following that basically made my entire career for the next 3-4 years.

Finished up this silly painting. Oil paint on canvas. #painting #sciart #pigeonsky #pigeon #oilpainting #realism

I had a dream about falling into a bush in a foggy field, and in it lived a massive red rattlesnake; I dreamed that she both bit me and spared me at the same time

I wish every artist a very "drawing something so gleefully stupid you cackle the whole time" at least once this week

And asking questions is CRITICAL to survival. For example, who benefits from allowing any random Nazi online to create AI CSAM, and how could certain people utilize this to help achieve Project 2025-type goals? We are not doing enough to prevent hell. We aren't.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. If you want to actually fight fascism, you have to listen to oppressed people who tell you to do important things you don't enjoy doing (😷) instead of Nazis and Nazi enablers telling you what you want to hear even as your real human senses scream that they are lies.
