Told a coworker yesterday how hard it is to get a single sale of a book as an indie author, even if a marketing post goes viral. Then I explained how much harder it is to get them to read it, and how much harder than THAT it is to get a review. This is a post about D2D. #WritingCommunity #IndiePub

Would anyone be interested in a print of this? It's a very old painting of mine, and I just found a 12x18 lustre print hanging out all rolled up in a storage area I had forgotten about. I put it in my shop in case. It's just $15 shop.aimeecozza.com/product/12x1...

The way this genuinely got me all up in my feelings…

Ellipsus is a firm anti AI writing platform so you can be honest in the survey (but not mean to them; they're not looking to adopt) about how it has impacted you

I’m still working slowly on these portraits of my kitties. In the meantime, here is the line drawing of my kitten. One of these days, I really would like to make a coloring book. I wonder if people would like to see something like that from me. It’ll like consist a lot of grass and leaves :3

Tired now..not sure if have anything else in the tank for tonight 11x17 pen and paper #wip #surreal #macabre #PenAndPaper #TraditionalArt #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt #Art #InkSky #GrimDark

One of the funniest thing about The Warm Machine is that people either LOVE the technobabble or absolutely DESPISE it there is no middle ground.

Hello fairy friends and fiends! I've updated a lot of things in the pre-order store for Fairy Seasons. I will be closing the store at the end of June. So if you'd like to get your books earlier than the release date, get your orders in before July! fairy-seasons.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

It's time to reorder business cards for me. The creepy merman chap has been my business card for a few years now... think I might change up the artwork. Thoughts on which I should do? I think I may be more partial to 5 and 6 because they're horizontal like the back, but thoughts?

Considering starting 3 but all out of bristol board and ipad needs to charge so... just thinking about it lol

this object would either bring a plague upon my house or bless me with infinite wealth

Captivating - 2026 This is based on medieval tapestries depicting captured unicorns. The original linework was created back during the last October StreamInk. And I just wanted to push it further. I'm really happy and shocked to create something so cool-looking!

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

I need everyone to compliment me on the Herculean restraint I'm displaying by not posting this in Slack. vico-whitmore.medium.com/slack-upgrad...

High suggest. I have a physical copy of this book and my SO really really enjoyed the audiobook!

ROBOTS FOREVER!!!!

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

hgggghhh more vet bills. this time just to rule out a urinary infection girl for $350 those results better come back with something wrong with you

I think I need to draw more sci fi stuff, I had the best time working on this #vgen #artsky #commission #commissionsopen

Woke up to an order. Thank you lovely person! I hope you love them. That means there's 6 more :D

It is DONE ahhh it's so yellow and bright!

More are landing ehehehehehe I love seeing them make it safely to their homes!

Ah man, DraftToDigital/ D2D are going to start charging us $12 USD a year for not earning 100 USD+ a year, on May 14th. I'm tempted to go back to direct with Kobo (who do Overdrive), use Bookvault as my distributor & focus on Itchio and direct sales at this point. What are your thoughts authors?

I made a couple of icon packs that you can use as emotes on discord servers or icons for notion! They are available on my ko-fi shop! Pack 1: ko-fi.com/s/1e42d6ca46 Pack 2: ko-fi.com/s/17b16bb3e9

Hear that everyone?

My favorite part about living in an area more interested in showcasing art of lighthouses and flowers: Them: we have a wonderful space! We need artists to come exhibit? Reach out to us! Let's make it happen! Me: I can? Them: ew, no, not YOUR weird art. BEST OF LUCK! ❤️
