Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

Trying to get up to date on online shop things and ... I understand why some people don't ship to the EU anymore. *I* don't even want to ship to the EU anymore and I live here. 🫠

The best advice I ever got when I started freelancing was, if you have to turn down work, always suggest someone else who could do it. I have been so lucky to benefit from that over the years.

Per my calculation, I have to sell about 1100 shirts to fund our insect mural series. Which sounds nuts, ok? I know. That sounds nuts. However... We already sold 132 so... I dunno, maybe we CAN make good things happen with silliness joy and art? I kinda think we can.

as soon as you actually try to make art in earnest it makes you so understanding and forgiving of everything else that gets made. every publishing or release is a miracle ordained by the holy spirit. I know brushes with death happened to get it to the public. what more can I ask other than you live.

To my knowledge there is nothing actually keeping us from signing commercial artwork. Pretty sure it was standard practice when illustration was still primarily done in traditional media.

The spikes of her tail are equally effective for deterring predators as they are for catching food.
