Deeply concerning trend in our society that corporations get to define and dictate what type of art is “acceptable”.

YOU GOT ME! -2026

🚨 The keys to being a successful artist in 2026: - produce as many pieces as possible - make short form videos of you doing that ⚠️ What I'm doing: - spend forever on one piece - whining about pressure to make short form video

Mermay so far <3 Wanted to go for a delightful merman at a moment of leisure on the rocks, perhaps at low tide amongst the pools. Really liking how its coming along so far. #mermay #merman

When we first met

Demi & Mannon Its mandatory to get the pairing shot with demi if she turns you.

Library fines have gotten weird since the change in management

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

I think they saw Clefairy up there... I just can't prove it

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

"Isolated among strange influences, Lavinia was fond of wild and grandiose day-dreams and singular occupations."

Artists, never forget that you are not a brand. You do not need to be consistent and marketable. If you CHOOSE to strive for these things that’s fine, but you do not NEED them. You are a fucking person, multi-faceted and complex. People who do not respect that see your art as a product

Stop supporting DeviantArt. It was clear years ago once Wix (an Isreali company btw) took over that they don't actually have artists in mind. Let the company go bankrupt

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

I think it’s time to make the switch back to Android again, iPhone has literally burned my palm for the last time & all these new ones are ass

A few years ago I suggested this skin, its very cool to come around and now paint the splash for him as well! Choncc Kench!!

“Why is it so hot in Spring !?” Idk fool maybe because you ask ChatGPT how to wipe your own ass instead of using your minuscule brain so literally ANYTHING anymore.

Through #SINNERS, Ryan Coogler is giving us a masterclass in creating a legacy that outlasts you. Setting new precedents for Black directors, employing Black women and women of color, giving new and old generations opportunities to shine. May his cup runneth over for as long as he lives. #Oscars

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

✨Sketched with my friend @beastsoul.bsky.social on their 30th Pokemon Anniversary stream with peeps and did an eldritch Eldegoss. So fun, loved seeing the interpretations! You're all amazing! 😍🌱❤️

things keep changing / we will, too 💫

“Don't write or draw for money. Do it because you love it...” I mean, yeah. Obviously we enjoy doing it, otherwise we wouldn't BE doing. That said, it'd be cool being paid and supported enough to simply live as creatives, and in turn, have the freedom to create wild new things without restraint.

it’s time to update some oc’s 👀💖 #ocsky #sketch
