I’ve also noticed a huge dip in reposts and shares?? Has anyone else? Time to emphasize the inportance of shares! If you can- be sure to share art if you like art, or if it makes you think, or stop for a moment. It really does make the world of a difference! ♥️ I am living proof!

“Why are you following 8k ppl?” I am following every artist I see

The main argument Genshin fans are making to defend against Hoyo using AI voice-over for their official Miliastra Wonderland videos is: "It's commonly used text-to-speech software, everyone uses it, it's not genAI" I made a video to illustrate the very specific ways this AI VO differs from TTS.

Masquerade 1. Ink on Saunders Waterford hot pressed watercolour paper, 90 × 169 mm, 2019. Inspired by the works of Walter Draesner.

For no reason here are some of the Carmilla paintings made over the past few years.

🚨 HELP STILL NEEDED! 🚨 I'm stuck at 44% of the goal. Please reshare! My old tablet is breaking and stops working while art is my only way of income. I need help with gathering funds to purchase new one. ▶️ ko-fi.com/shemeiart/ ◀️ #helpsky #mutualaid #mutualaidrequest #supportartists #ko-fi #helpsky

You might as well be loud and proud about your struggles and weirdness and kinks and opinions. They WANT you to keep it to yourselves. BEING AUTHENTIC INSPIRES OTHERS TO BE AUTHENTIC

URGENT #MUTUALAID REQUEST! Our beloved cat’s two vet visits (one planned, one emergency), totaled about $860. Rhea is fine now, thank goodness, but we remain $500 in the hole and need help to afford bills! Please #help and share if you can! #promosky #helpsky #transaid #vetbill ko-fi.com/thuun/

also you can download the files to your computer so you aren't forced into keeping an app forever. big fan!!!!!!!!

#INKTOBER 22 - “Spark”

If you like my work you may want to check out my patreon as I have 4 comics on there ❤️ (I've finished one and the others are ongoing!)

Worth noting: After the end of the three-year pilot program this year, the Irish government found that for every pound invested, they got 43% profit. Keeping artists alive and financially safe is not just for moral good, it's also beneficial in terms of economics. Just let artists keep making art.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

CAUSEWAY (1992) Oil on Canvas - 48" X 36" The colors came from a foggy morning walk at a reservoir near my home. 1/3

Some creepy art for Halloween 🖤

Be weirder, you freaks (affectionate)

Lost in it

So, TL;DR on this ramble: Community over audience. Connection over reach. Work on the former, and the latter follows. Treat people like people. Let go of the idea of having a bullhorn and a crowd that hangs on your every word. Its rarely genuine, and pedestals are lonely places to be 26/26

Me, aloud to myself while I'm writing: ohh, this part makes me SO sad Me, again to myself: you're the one WRITING it?? Me, beginning to tear up: I KNOWWW

I'm finally out of the hospital...

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff Block, move on.

I'll put the link here for now: ko-fi.com/c/183473382e

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies. Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

heyhey do you wanna support artists on bsky? how about hitting that sweet sweet 🔁 button. it really helps us out and makes our art more visible to other people who might be interested in following for our art or even buying from us. it's free, only a button to press, and makes an artist's day!

After the Masquerade 🦇 I had an old sketch I've been meaning to finish that worked out perfectly for this week's "mask" prompt for the #hardtober2025 challenge over at @hardcoverart.com If you want to see these early, follow me on Patreon: patreon.com/abigaillarson

Atp I really can’t convince AI bros that I really enjoy the challenge that comes with creating something lmfao

Today is my birthday (hi, old!) & of course, such an occasion made me look back at the past year. My journey as an artist, as a person. I started 3D work at the end of last year & I am still learning, but it's nice to see progress. I would appreciate if you could share my work, as a bday treat! 💖

It's worth reiterating that independent creators are getting debanked for the same content

I'll never shut up about how it's so important to reshare artists works because sometimes they never show up in my feed unless it's reposted by someone else or they show up in the "discover" section 🥲

Yyyyyep, gotta change that
