New cover dropped! It has dandelions 💛 'The Black Parade' by Ilana M. Lindsey is a post-apocalyptic queer romance. Find out more here: ilanamiral.com/books/the-bl...

The occasional mummy isn't the only thing to be found down in the bogs - some legends claim that kings were sacrificed to the waters by displeased locals. What they forget to mention is that they might come back one day...

I have written a newsletter! I'm planning to do more of that and less of posting on socials in the future 👻 view.flodesk.com/emails/698dc...

Anyone who's stepped into a bog knows there are bodies preserved in the mud... but what happens when the spirits of the dead start haunting nearby towns? Throw this muddy, mosquito-infested adventure at your players in Aquarium, our latest book coming to Kickstarter on March 1st!

Announcing my cover artist search for my fantasy/humor novel Possessed! Budget is €1,500 ($1,770). No spec work! This is not a contest. I'm just trying to find the right artist. TONS of info on the book, the cover, applying, and more at: cwbwriting.com/posts/2026-0... NO AI PLEASE! NO DMs PLEASE!

I'm preparing the files so I can post these soon, but in the meantime, look at the actual books! Vicious and Vengeful by V.E. Schwab, with cover illustrations by me and design by Jane Tibbets., for Illumicrate.

Hello! Does anybody have a good fantasy artist or illustration starter pack recommendation? I want to link to something for folks who are new to Bsky

EVERYBODY CAN MAKE ART IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Magic: The Gathering in Miniature III at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social has officially sold 2/3rds of the show 222 out of 333 Artist Proofs It's something I never even fathomed possible, and I can't thank you all enough for the support Available APs: www.gallerynucleus.com/events/1113?...

Limnades are carnivorous nymphs who haunt only in the freshest of waters. These canny shapeshifters take whatever shape they desire in order to hunt their favoured prey: humans. Their enchanting songs lure their prey into their watery lairs, as drowned meat is the sweetest...

valentine's day is coming soon <3

obligatory shoppe is now open post to support me in my top surgery recovery! thank you so much! ✨💖🏳️‍⚧️ nooskaart.etsy.com

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math. $3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr

It's February 1st, and that means it's time to to start revealing all of the great things we've been writing for Aquarium! Today comes with an exciting gift - a downloadable copy of the fishing rules that we've written specifically for Aquarium 🐟️ Read more below!

Look at this absolutely INCREDIBLE mug from Nymla. I have been drooling over one of these for years (I have one of her gorgeous watercolour palettes too from years ago). Isn't it just the most perfect thing? Go follow immediately: nymla.se #mug #ceramics #ceramicmug #squashmug #pumpkin #pumpkinmug

Client: We want you to change the look of your already existing cover illustration Client half a year later: Your cover artwork doesn't match the original wraparound anymore, did you perhaps change the brightness? 🙂

明けましておめでとう I’m late to posting this and for some parts of the world, it hasn’t been a great start. Last year, I finally finished my tarot, and since then, I have been a bit lost when it comes to my goals in the art world.

I just discovered this little poem by William Butler Yeats and thought we all might need a moment of delight in our lives right now.

Received a slightly belated Christmas present and it was an absolutely delightful read! Another fabulous addition to my field guide collection! @checanty.bsky.social

I saw a little wren in my garden today. First #sketch of 2026 #wren #birdoftheday #blueskyart #sketchbook #drawing #art #watercolour

oh hey! last year @samguayart.bsky.social did a DTIYS of their amazing Devil's Invitation (which is also one of my favorites by them). this was my contribution. I'm kinda proud of it and ppl around here haven't seen it yet so there you go

Wow, schon über 80 % auf unserem Minimalziel! Ihr seid einfach toll <3 Vielleicht erreichen wir auch gleich das nächste Goal? Dann wäre unsere kommende Redaktionsstelle für ganz 2026 sicher <3 crowdfund.volksverpetzer.de

I'm not great with faces and just mistook a door-to-door apple salesman for my neighbour. Presumably this was a very confusing interaction for the both of us but at least I got two slices of apple out of it.

We can’t afford a $1M trailer slot 😔 But reposts on Bluesky cost $0 - and they really help tiny teams like ours ❤️ If cozy medieval creativity is your thing, here’s our Scriptorium trailer!

❤️ Support Human Artists ❤️ Share their work, drop them a kind word, tip their ko-fis, join their patreons...it matters more than you think. We have to show up for each other while we still can. We have to uplift each other.

Normal people meeting my cat: Utterly enchanted My grandpa: Why is your cat fat? She isn't exactly a great beauty, couldn't you get a better one?

This idea that there is only one acceptable way that art is good needs to be squashed. It's utterly wrong and kills personal progress. It prevents people from exploring, from making "bad" art. Hot tip: EVERY artist makes "bad" art. It's ok! It's expected! It's still art though, it's still you.
