Heard real-life baby alligator noises and had to do an animation.

Song of Summer 6x6" Gouache on watercolor paper 🪶 #birdart I love Pacific Wrens, one of my favorite birds. They have such long, LOUD, & complex songs but are no bigger than a ping-pong ball! I tried to paint what they sound like I know each day I'm getting closer to hearing them again 🥰 🌱

🙌

体の小ささでキクイタダキとはりあうけど、声はめちゃくちゃでかいミソサザイ。 The wren is the king of birds, small but with a very loud song. #BirdArt

now that i’ve seen lord of the rings, i can truly appreciate all the memes

There was steaming hot leek-and-mushroom soup with elderflower bread, followed by leek and carrot bake topped with yellow cheese. This was followed by a hefty fourseason plumcake topped with custard. Hot rosehip an' mint tea was served, along with sparkling cider.

Need to unplug a bit more in the new year. Haven't been very successful in keeping my phone time within my goal of 2 hours a day lately 🫠

Happy old year

If you see this, post your favourite Pokémon! (I have a few favourites but my fave for battling, at least in the OG Pokémon Blue, was Sandslash! It always seemed to get critical hits! Other faves are Ninetales, Pidgeot, Articuno, Dragonair, Charizard!)

It feels like some sort of rite of passage for a fantasy illustrator to design a skywhale so here's mine :D based on a humpback and filled with buoyancy! 🎈🐋 #BearHybridArt

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

It’s autumn at last! This little mouse is still prepping for winter with a beautiful blackberry haul. You can colour her your own way with my downloadable PDF available here: https://windloftworkshop.com/b/autumn-mouse-blackberry-colouring-page #adultcoloring #coloringpages #coloring Pls reshare 😊

*chants to self* 🗣 It doesn't matter if others are 'ahead' of me in art. All that matters is my own place and my own journey. Stop trying to compete when it's not a competition. I can't always control my situation but I can work with what I have. (This has been a Fru Self-Motivation Moment)

If you see this post your bird art 🪶 I got lots 😛

I miss making art so much. It's like a part of myself is missing. I need to get past whatever mental blocks are stopping me from doing it. It's been years of burnout with no end in sight so I think I just have to draw regardless of how it feels to do so 🫩

Do what we tell you and we won't abandon you to everlasting torment

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

Very happy with how my witch hat came out! I started with just a plain hat and sewed on the ribbons. The pentagram started out as just a twig wreath from the craft store, and I added twine to it to create the star shape. ✨️🧙🏻‍♀️🧹🪻

Saw a tumblr post saying AI is turned on again in a hidden Google Drive menu, but its not a menu you can find on mobile; its only desktop. anyhoo. here it is with a picture and clearer directions Google Drive > MyDrive > (Gear Icon top right) Settings > Manage Apps [switch off Gemini here]

Happy #Invertober day 18! Black & yellow mud dauber (Sceliphron caementarium) That tiny waist kind of freaked me out. If a creature designer came up with this form, they'd be made fun of for its unrealistic nature! #SciArt #Imvertober2025

Do you ever have those times where it seems like every attempt to connect with people, like friends or acquaintances, just falls flat? And you're left wondering if it's something you said, or if you're just annoying, or if it's simply not a good time for the other person...

I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here. ko-fi.com/eskiworks

#MSH45 | Richard Lasher You've been at a job long enough to know a decent colleague to chat with. The more you get to know them, the more they share. What's fact or fiction? You don't know, but you listen. Then there's one story that's so over the top—a bona fide lie. But then, a photo appears.

Played too much Tetris yesterday and I still have blocks falling in my head. @_@

Pai-Lung was the only white Dragon King, believed to be connected to supernatural forces that gave him control over storms and drought. --- An old piece from 2016 that I still like :) Painted in India ink and white ink on coffee stained watercolor paper. #dragons #ink #mythology #art

I've been having fun recently getting into rock painting, now that I have some cheap acrylic paint pens at my disposal (party leftovers!). There's a local rock hunt group where people hide and search for painted rocks. Haven't hid this particular guy yet... a bit too attached still! #SSRockHunt

I found more joy in life this way.
