Wheels down in HSV! This is the first time in a while we’ve done a completely new (to us) show in a place we’ve never been. I’m excited to see what Alabama has in store for us this weekend.

Happy #portfolioday ✒️ I enjoy drawing a multitude of depressed elves in elaborate jewelry~ More of my work can be seen on my website below. 🎨: aorticinkwell.wixsite.com/nicoleellison

Here's a sticker I made for folks who preordered our Artemis 2 print. IYKYK

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

I guess young people either forgot or don’t actually know what the word “indie” is short for? An independent company means operating separately from larger corporations, not “providing content for free always”. Adult artists need money to live and create more art, imagine that

jester & her ringmaster ^^ #tadc

Oop, it's bandana week! I designed a cosmic new bandana feat. Welcome Swallows and twilight nautical vibes...sail through the stars with these little aviators! 100% cotton, three-print design, available now AND my very sold out designs are all back in stock (details below) pepperraccoon.com

Today on Threads: people are paying money for copies of Jesus Christ Superstar on vinyl. In my experience, you just have to sit and wait and eventually someone will throw one into your collection.

So, I couldn’t resist the urge to make a new print based on the Artemis II mission. #art #artemisii www.monkeyminionpress.com/products/art...

All four Astronauts are on deck and safely off Integrity. Congrats to them and to everyone at NASA who made this happen. #artemisii

The cheers when the first astronaut emerged from Integrity! <3 #artemisii

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space. And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

Experts found that the White House budget request for the upcoming fiscal year could defund 54 NASA science missions, including a spacecraft currently studying Jupiter and two planned Venus missions: www.scientificamerican.com/article/whit...

Did they have issues getting the front porch to pop? #artemisii

It's cool that so much of the silver/reflective coating seems to be still on Integrity. When you see Apollo capsules in museums, all of that has burned off and they're kinda brownish. Can't wait to see Integrity up close. #artemisii

This whole thing gives a whole new meaning to "taking the scenic route" on a trip from Florida to California. #artemisii

I love seeing the rescue boats circling Integrity like sharks, but they can’t talk to them. #artemisii

It’s kinda funny to me that they had zero comms issues while they were in space but as soon as they landed, comms issues abound. Lol #artemisii

My 8yo asked me, "how do they know?" "A lot of math."

Funding NASA is funding this planet‘s near and long-term health. You think solar power just appeared? GPS? Weather prediction? Battery tech? Most aspects of the microcontroller? Velcro? Space sciences are planetary sciences!

The fact that they hit every milestone right on at every point is just amazing to me. Right down to hitting the water bang on at 5:07pm. not even a minute of variation. NASA is so good you guys. #artemisii

I never really got how much of re-entry is basically a barely controlled freefall. #artemisii

YES!! We have radio! #artemisii

What was that still image? #artemisii

Some of the recovery crew have visual contact with Integrity. #artemisii

Blackout. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. #artemisii

Watching Earth slowly come into view from below frame is giving me some kind of feels, y'all. #artemisii

Psst, hey kid, wanna see some good news?

Weisman: "Got a great view of the moon out the window" Looks a little smaller than yesterday." Mission control: "Guess we'll have to go back!" I love NASA, y'all. #artemisii

Seriously, stop what you are doing and go here:

Can confirm. Highly recommend

SAN DIEGO GO OUTSIDE AT 4:55 AND LOOK AT THE SKY!!

NOTAM = notice to air missions of airspace to avoid for Orion entry, descent, and landing

"The exciting thing about being a first is that there is a prospect of there being a second, a third and a fourth, and it actually becoming normal . . . I really look forward to the point where it's not remarkable that a Black man is exploring the solar system" - Victor Glover, #ArtemisII pilot

So, I couldn’t resist the urge to make a new print based on the Artemis II mission. #art #artemisii www.monkeyminionpress.com/products/art...

I have the Artemis II livestream open & I’m wondering, at what point do they detach from the service module? I realize it doesn’t matter for maneuvering in space, but eventually that’s gotta pop off, right?

I got all excited that the Illustrator had made a Turntable feature, updated my app and found out it's a GenAI function. FUUUUUCK that.

Kinda fun that I drew this a couple of years ago after Artemis I and accidentally drew the Orion capsule on the other side of the moon with a crescent earth in the bg. #art

“You’re alienating half of your audience by being political” Motherfucker, my “audience” is people who aren’t pieces of shit, who care about others. That’s who I make stuff for. There is no “other half”.

I need people to know that the photos of colourful moon are not from Artemis II. They were made by a Ukrainian photographer, who enhanced the colours of the moon's surface to represent its mineral composition. I can't stand to see an individual work be misattributed and misrepresented like this.

NEW: The Wise Owl! Our latest design is based on the winning pitch from our annual Patreon member tournament. This judgmental Bubo is AVAILABLE NOW as both a fez and chapeau over at Fez-o-rama.com #owl #WiseOwl #FezORama #fez

If you see someone's fresh idea gain well-won and deserved attention for their risk paying off and your first thought is to redraw it in your own style and get it into production the next day, I can tell you other artists know when you are doing this, especially if it's a pattern.

Hey artists! Next Tuesday, Apr 14, is #PortfolioDay! I thought it would be fun to do a little knowledge sharing for the art community ☺️ What are your top tips for building a professional art portfolio? How do you approach it differently if it's digital or physical?

he meant causal*. There is a direct causal relationship between AI usage and diminished persistence (sticking wish a task) and independent performance (performance without AI).

Buying one of my sun catchers, enamel pins, or the large canvas print I have available on Etsy will help offset the cost of the pump I had to buy to unflood my walkway and foundation #help #mutualaid #gift #handmade #store #crafts #art

Joe Rogan better watch out - the regime is coming for his audience…

I don't know why so many people jump into the art business game specifically to pump out everyone else's most popular ideas. This job is grueling and inconsistent and soul-crushing. If you're not doing it to share your own voice with the world why are y'all even here.

I still haven’t recovered from this Mars nerds stay seething, best planet in the universe and it’s not even close

SCHEDULE UPDATE! We've added a few new (& I do mean NEW) shows to our list! Whether new to us, like @momocon.bsky.social or Huntsville Expo or new to the world like @comicconoakland.com or @comicconnebraska.com we're branching out all over the place this year! Will we see you anywhere on this list?
