Occasionally I make Patreon posts free for anyone to view, so there's no paywall here. Come see how I got inspired for a new pattern based on a sketch of some spiraling leaves. 🦚 www.patreon.com/posts/150220...

Tis the season of the Witch (class).

Man, I love all the art on me feed for #portfolioday Hi! I'm Carly, I paint imaginative realism, currently doing work for MTG and illustrating a special edition of Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. Really grateful to have a consistently full schedule ❤️

Already obsessed with this

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Good morning to everyone but especially our friends in Minnesota bravely organizing a general strike & protest in -20F weather. In their honor, no wishlist posting today. Please check out standwithminnesota.com for ways to help them! 💕

New blog post is up about artsy resources, for those needing to interrupt a doomscrolling spiral right now. My thoughts are returning again and again to Minnesota. If you live there and have links for aid organizations, feel free to share them below. fivehourartschool.blogspot.com/2026/01/bird...

Do people still say "this is dope"? I'm in love with this.

Hello #portfolioday I'm a Welsh UK based freelance illustrator currently available for commercial work! www.aledthompson.com

You know what? 2026 is the year I'm not playing nice anymore. If copyright means so little to use A / I for playing around, here's one of his book for free: Color and Light James Gurney [English] : Free Download, Internet Archive share.google/qjDjFS6QhhZJ...

Comic artist LeBeau Underwood’s daughter has been missing in Chicago since yesterday morning. Please share in the hopes we can bring the family a happy conclusion to this.

Things can be whatever color you want. People will critique your realistic shading or perspective or anatomy but no one cares if your grass is green.

If you use Discord and want to tell them how you feel about them adding AI tools, here's a link to the survey. Share it far & wide. Let them know we don't want it. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

You all make beautiful work. All the art on my feed makes me chortle like a happy little dragon coveting its treasures.

It's a new year, time to raise those commission prices if you haven't in a while! At very least factor in inflation into the increase.

HEY FRIENDS. I made a new blog post on Five Hour Art School (my blog about five artsy resources a week) Drop me cool resources you think I might like here in the comments, if you feel generous. 🩷 fivehourartschool.blogspot.com/2026/01/2025...

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Heyyyyy 🧚 Listen! I made a new blog, for creativity resource recommendations. It's called Five Hour Art School, where you get five things to check out once a week. Got your own recommendations? Let me know about them! fivehourartschool.blogspot.com/2025/12/slow...

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

My professional artists peers! We got a survey request! Researchers at the University of Carnegie Mellon is doing a research to see how generative Al has (or has not) impacted your work and/or sentiments in the industry. Folks in creative fields only, please consider filling this out 👇

Artists, quote with your red art!

No, there isn’t a way. There just isn’t. GenAI is poisoning the water supply of Oregon. It’s boiling inland seas.This tech, at scale, is an anti life equation, and all to spit out stolen collages of other people’s work to plug into a pipeline that has to be fixed by an underpaid real human later.

I absolutely love these

Dr. Seward, you dim bulb, you blithering idiot. Do not give Renfield a cat.

Hey artists and makers - if you’re seeing very few sales right now, please know that it’s not a reflection of your worth or skill. Across the board, not making back our table fees and expenses, and that’s really scary. If you can, please shop small this season. We really need your support.

Throwback to my Cicada pattern! I just created a Spoonflower for my patterns, you can find Cicadas, Insomnia and others here: www.spoonflower.com/profiles/egy...

My friend Anna is trying to raise funds to end the dental pain she has suffered for years. She's just about given up hope. Socar has had this procedure so knows how much pain Anna is in, and how much this helped. www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

Kevin literally never misses. Anything he's selling, the Botanica Tarot, those gorgeous pins, would make a great gift this season, IJS

I loveee theseeee

I can finally show one of my favourite paintings from last year! This was a commission for @illumicrate.bsky.social which was printed on a blanket included in a recent Afterlight box. Auroras are my favourite natural phenomena and i'd love to see them some day, so i'm very glad I got to paint one!

"Insomnia" I drew plants I pass on my evening walks home from work, in my little neighborhood. I wanted something quiet and dark for this, because sometimes we're just quiet, and dark. #patterndesign

SNEEK PEEK OF THE WEEK! A redo of a piece I did ten years ago that was a Lily growing out of a skull. Now a magnolia! Not perfect but I'm glad with what I have. Commission prices coming later this week!

Some sketches i did for #swordtember

“A Plague of Dragons” my new calendar for 2026 is out now! www.gallerygerard.com/store/p/just...

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Have you been eyeing the Chromatic Fates #Tarot deck? Please check out this sick 25% off sale I'm running for Black Friday right now. I'm also adding my Bright Queen dot-grid sketchbooks to the sale. Every sale supports me and my ancient cat's pretentious diet! www.etsy.com/shop/Egyptia...

I was a comp sci major in college minoring in art, spending my time drawing and not doing programming labs. I had a professor sit me down during a review and basically tell me that the only thing I was proving was that I liked art but not enough to major in it (my other grades were mediocre).

The spam continues, I hope it's not too anoying, turns out I had a lot to add as available prints ;) Would you maybe be interested in some more dragon?

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview. If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

It's my birthday today! ☺️ If you could spare a repost, it would be much appreciated!
