So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

Design for a more complex belt pouch made of cork leather. I'm planning to layer the pieces for this. The twig is the front of the strap, and the pouch interior will be the shape of the moth and moon (minus the long tail part). #handmade #art #moth

Barred owl in the Missouri botanical garden today. @irisflorafawn.bsky.social spotted this birb and helped me find it and take this photo! She tapped my phone screen to focus on the bird since I had my hands full aiming the phone camera through one side of my binoculars 😅 #birds #barredowl

Apologies for the little delay with orders placed in the past two weeks. I'm hoping to get back to work tomorrow, but I've been sick for almost a week. I'm a little better today, but still really exhausted and have some brain fog.

Ever finish your line art and flats, get excited to start rendering, and go "OMG these lines are annoying why did I do this?" lol IDK- I might get rid of the line art on the main figures in the piece I'm working on and see what happens.

ART FOR SALE: All my original drawtober inks are up for grabs. They're each $60 total (that includes shipping) If one strikes your fancy shoot me a DM!

Find your local food bank here. Donating food is great, but donating money is better if you can. That way they can purchase in bulk (cheaper that way), buy what is most needed, and save time sorting/ inspecting.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

I encountered quite the internet troll yesterday lol. Trying to tell me I'm weak for not wanting to vend at outdoor festivals in winter. 🤣 I'm proud of myself for finally starting to break down the idea that rest must be earned, and suffering by working too hard is something to be idolized. 🔥

Of course I get sick the first time I have a weekend off with my partner in a month lol Dondon is having the best time though. She's living on the couch with me.

Hey artists! There's a new #SpookyMarket feed to sell all your spooky art and items 🎃 Happy Halloween!

Last night I watched over 100 pelicans feed just off the coast after sunset. Here's one of them. 17 frames taken from a sequence of 44 over 2.5 seconds. Incredible dinosaurs!!! 🪶

A couple of Barn Swallow fledglings for #Twosday. They’re on their way south for the winter now and I’ll miss them! #birds 🌿

Henny Halloween. 🐔🎃 Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Made an autumn ginko leaf version of our new cork zipper pouches! Might do an edit to the leaf shape and the spot where I attach the strap, but LOOK AT THEM 😭💚 #leaf #craft #handmade #sewing #fall #autumn

Hiii, it’s my birthday and, as they say, the best gift you could give me is sharing my art!! Thank u 💛

Ren fest made such a choice today... Chaotic drums, string music, and bagpipes all within about 200 yards of my booth... All playing different songs at the same time. If I've been missing or weird today when you visited the booth it's because my brain broke.

Here at the No Kings protest in Salem. A group of veterans and other locals play a song, singing “This land is made for you and me.”

When the regime is toppled, the 18th of October should be made into a national holiday: No Kings Day. And the official mascot? A frog, of course 🐸🐸 #NoKings #FrogsTogetherStrong #Amphifa

-This is not the sky- 😢It is really sad to see adorable birds dying because of the reflection on windows, so I made this illustration for some bird protection organizations to propagandize this situation. #bird #illustration #animalprotection #originalart #animal #digitalart #animalart #artist

Here's what was actually happening in Los Angeles an hour before the downtown No Kings march, if you want to support Indigenous activists instead of supporting lying bluesky accounts.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

My mom’s protest signs, as always, are a helluva thing.

It really bothers me when someone acts super friendly and then asks if they can pray for me. If you are religious and want to pray for someone, just do it on your own, privately. Let other people be unless they ask.

I'm removing the $1 shipping for sticker orders up to 1 oz. It's become a magnet for fraudulent orders this summer and I'm tired. If you want to order stickers shipped with a stamp just email me.

Started making soy curl jerky for snacks and I'm very addicted. I realized the recipes I found were basically "smother soy curls in bbq sauce and bake them for an hour"... So I did that. 👍 It gets really crispy once it cools, but gets a nice chewy texture after being in the fridge. 10/10

I'm gonna keep posting about Magica Riot because it's so good. If you've enjoyed my comics, I think you'll get a kick out of this too.

The Gyrfalcon frustrates me so much 🦅! I’ve spent months in the Arctic ❄️, and I still DREAM of seeing one 👀. Drawing it without having seen it feels almost like tempting fate 😬 #Birdtober – #Gyrfalcon #FalcoRusticolus 🦅🖤 🐡 #bird #Birdtober2025 #BirdArt #ScientificIllustration #WildlifeArt

#Birdtober Day 16: Pygmy Nuthatch I have drawn all my nuthatches in various states of upside-down, so I thought maybe this one should be at least sort of right-side up 😆 #Birdtober2025 is hosted by Andrea Holmes #BirdArt #SciArt #ArtYear #FineArt #dailyartchallenge #Copic 1/2

Ended up needing a blood test for something else recently so I also got my MMR immunity tested and it's still good from my childhood vaccine. 👍

Fall [part 1/3]

AAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S #PORTFOLIODAY ARTSHARE!! DROP YOUR BEAUTIFUL PORTFOLIOS RIGHT NOW, ARTISTS!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Made it nearly five weeks of Ren fest before having a nerve compression flare-up. Possible causes: wearing a backpack, fighting to get my tent legs to lock, looking down for a little while, and sleeping on my side...

✨✨LEAVES IN SPAAAAAACE✨✨ Played with a galaxy color scheme on a couple of these yesterday and I'm hooked. The stars are metallic silver. #handmade #wearableart #leaf #sycamore #space #art

"Niccolo", the 2nd 2025 graduation short film from french Gobelins school, is online. Directed by Clémentine Di Prizio, David Florian, Axelle Granet, Sirui Liu, Hugo Michalet & Njolai Pachomius. Full film >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=O515...

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

Some new things at the booth this year for STL Ren Fest! Big leaf pouches are on our website! 1: luna moth wooden keychains 2: cork leather leaf pouches- they have a zipper on the back 3: slate coasters engraved with my art #handmade #artist #bsnm

Erin does great work on here, and this entire thread is well worth a read, not just for the information that contains, but because it'll make you feel better about what's going on in the country

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

She IS trans! And you can read all about her in these books, available whereever fine comics are sold! GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN won't be out until 5/5/26. But you can get the rest of them now!

Took a much needed day off yesterday after two weeks of pushing through. Napped on a stone bench in the botanical garden, watched bees, and found these really cool mushrooms. I also saw common yellowthroats in forest park and a chipmunk almost ran up my leg. 10/10. 3 more weeks of STL ren fest.
