Amongst the many reasons that I love the garments designed by Claire McCardell is her fastenings. They are always unexpected, rejecting the convenience of a zip for a neat row of buttons. This is a mid #1950s dinner dress with the most chic of bodices #museumatFIT #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Lion! 🦁 I love looking through old sketchbooks and randomly getting hit with vivid memories of drawing some of the pictures. I sketched this at the library instead of going home and taking a nap, and then I was very very sleepy at that night's rehearsal

*saying affirmations in the mirror* I am a big horse. I am a beautiful horse with powerful legs. I am fifteen hands tall. No one can catch me because of my powerful horse legs and wild nature. I have all the apples I want

“But wehhh, I have to use AI to make my storyyy” I just dropped a 60-page Garfield manga featuring all 118 current periodic table elements, which I researched individually for each design. AI’s NEVER going to give you that and I require way less water

When you just keep going... John Morris brings so much grounded energy to this form of resilience. 'Running on Empty' #beautifulbizarre #sculpture #woodart #contemporaryart #dogart

The Whistle Crew has now shipped over 800,000 whistles. We went from 500,000 whistles *period* to over 500,000 *in February alone.* And yet we're getting so much bigger and better we can stockpile whistles, too. Anybody need the 3,000 I have right now? Requests here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

and one of the first rules in the Whistle Coven is no genAI. At all. Not for whistles, not for art, not in your profile pic.

Mustelid menu! Here's my second one for #FebruaryFrost26, for the prompt quilt. #art

NSA Brad in the whistle chat this morning, exhaling slowly & wondering if he can drink before noon.

Our Italian whistle designer just dropped the whistle he designed just for us, and my heart is very full today. If you are doing printing for local events, check this one out! Designed to slice fast, pack a lot on a plate, be quick to print, and be easy to use! makerworld.com/en/models/23...

@shinyshinyleaf.bsky.social since I can’t DM you and it looks like you’ve posted publicly about this, THANK YOU for the roll of soon-to-be-whistles! 💖

So proud to be part of this delightfully chaotic group that’s sent over half a million free 3D printed whistles to communities in need of them Request whistles to help keep your community safe! Or send us filament to turn into more whistles! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many. The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

I had an AMAZING time visiting my sister on Virgin’s Scarlet Lady! Best Sandwi(t)ch Goddess EVER!!!! 💖

This crew I'm printing with (shout out @mostlybree.kitrocha.com @lefttheprairie.bsky.social and @bibliogrrl.bsky.social) are the real deal. Whistles free for groups all over the country. You can ask for whistles or help supply printers with filament here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

I'll be posting a link when it goes live but TOMORROW!! at 12PM EST I'll be putting up these two Warriors original inks up for a charity auction! 100% of the proceeds will being going towards CAPI USA, a MN-based non-profit for helping immigrants in Minneapolis. The auction will last a week!

I hear all the cool kids are 3D printing whistles to give out as ICEbreakers

I thought I'd try something new with the background for this kestrel drawing - what do you think?

An excellent blog post and a must-read for indies.

Sometimes it’s fun to grab some crayons and enter gesture drawing color chaos mode 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

I adore the silly patchwork look of WIP set builds. Half of one of my murals from the theater’s 2024 Christmas show is becoming the floor of a house!

-ANIMATE STUFF!!! -Incorporate more storytelling in my sketchbook doodles -Share my creations with others more, both online and off -Finish populating my revamped portfolio and making it presentable -Increase the % of my income that comes from art

2025 was my year of nonstop theater chaos! I joined the board, became head of marketing, brought tons of new people in to audition via bewilderingly successful TikToks, made lots of scenic and prop art, and AND played my biggest most rewarding role yet! (Susy Hendrix in Wait Until Dark)

During a dissection in anatomy class, with great enthusiasm: “You’re REALLY good at skinning cats!!!!!!”

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

Hey! I'm releasing a WIP version of the cat I've been working on. It's free to get until the end of the year. It's for use in Blender. It probably doesn't export well. Also, it's my first time releasing a complex 3D thing, so if you run into any issues, do let me know! Merry Crisis 🎁

An (almost) end of year thought --

🧵 Understand WHY you're posting your art. 📈If it's for numbers/gratification: You do you, hop on trends, but understand some creators won't want to engage with you because of differences in goals. 💰If it's for income: use metrics to gauge your MARKETING skills, not your value as an artist. (+)

Throwback to that time I was tasked with making a ton of cinnamon roll props, two of which had to cover an actress's boobs

Idk how employers will feel about it when it’s ready to share, but making a portfolio that embraces the chaotic generalist I am when left to my own devices feels extremely freeing

The internet just showed me this response drawing that I posted five years ago. Feel free to use it if you have a need.
