Sketching at the Seattle Aquarium today ✨

Every year our neighbors decorate their backyard with inflatable Christmas figures, so behold what stares into our house ever night from Halloween through new years.

Plein air today

I am a tired crab with a soft shell. I resent having to be a cockroach.

What level of tired is it when the only words you can think of to describe noted artist Joseph Mallord William Turner‘s style is “brush slut?”

Blanket jail is for tiny criminals who take one too many swipes at our guests.

When you get a “thanks for the great direction!” from an absolute legend of an artist who should probably be directing you tbh

I wrote creative text for Reality Fracture! Card names and flavor text as part of a *very* exciting team of writers. No more to say now, but I did have a ton of fun working on the set ✨🤐 #WotCStaff #MTGFracture

THIS ANIMATION IS SO INSANE

This career is wild. I’m supposed to be a merch designer, project manger, social media manager, convention logistics manager, book keeper, R&D, and probably more AND THEN somehow find time to go to the gym, cook healthy food, and have meaningful relationships. I’m tired lol

Still a WIP, but guess who decided to paint a mosaic last night. Ow my hand

Do you remember making potions as a kid, and yearn for that experience as an adult? Do you like making delicious treats but hate the oven in the summer? Do you have someone who's neck you want to wring? Do you need to work out your grip strength? Try my favorite fancy lemonade recipe!

Still working on my strawberry piece 🍓 Here’s a tiny peek at the flower — they’re so soft and delicate, I love drawing them! ✏️🌸 #botanicalart #strawberryart #naturedrawing #floralsketch #artpeek

A friend of mine just got their wisdom teeth removed which reminded me that when I got mine out I woke up from the anesthesia in a completely empty room with a red rose on my chest. Did anyone else have this experience or did I like, briefly die or something. The people (me) need answers.

I've got such great news

I got my hair cut today with the goal of looking more visibly gay and then got jumped 3 hours later by three extremely inebriated women who wanted to make out with me. So it worked? Maybe too well? Coven Salon in Seattle y'all

Today in small pieces of good news to keep you going: I bought a teeny tiny olive tree earlier this year and I think it’s fruited

Practicing black belt levels of active listening in an online meeting while I detach my cat from my hair that she insisted on grooming and is now gagging on because it’s too long.

Nick is not only an incredible artist, but an all around wonderful person to work with!

Today in ttrpg: Party fighter gets sick of our bratty chemist's bullshit and finally tops him. Rogue and fighter agree to kinda-date. Nanobots-dreaming-of-our-god have a tearful reunion with the party. The spymistress betrays the party and it leaves everyone including herself heartbroken.

Uh.

It was a good day ✨

“Trump started a war without Congressional authorization, Congress needs to vote on this” is not the vibe, Democrats. “Trump started a war without Congressional authorization and therefore should be impeached and removed from office” is the vibe.

Please god do not use this app. This feature is going to kill people.

As of 2025, Seattle's population is approximately 764,753. 10% of Seattle showed up at /this/ protest and there were more than just this one.

Artists, this is your bi-yearly reminder to please, please, please put your portfolio links in your bio.

Some news 👀👀👀 #wotcstaff

THIS IS SO REAL this goes for every single creative medium I've ever touched. Learning to do it the "right way" first is a paralysis trap. Advice is only useful after you've fought with the thing its about. Go, do the thing you want to do and do it poorly. Do it for you. Fuck around & itll click

This is a difficult time in our marriage, thank you for giving us the space we need to process and fish the jets out of the ocean.

I am (sadly) moving on from Good Store and (excitingly) moving on to the next thing! If you're looking for a remote AD position check this one out ✨

The tech behind ai is actively killing people by just being turned on. Every time you give it a little pass saying "in this case is ok" well hope you don't enjoy breathing

We were visited by a barred owl today! She hung out in this tree till it got dark and then took off to go on her merry way. I wish her many juicy rodents on tonight’s hunt

the new york sewer rats have finally elected a new rat pope

Deep dish Pope

An extremely exciting thing happened that I'll be able to announce in... Slightly under one month 👀👀👀

Jo is cool as hell, Jo is so goddamn talented, Jo cares a lot, hire her

Games journalism and critique and analysis are vital parts of the industry and—much more importantly—the art, and the way that sites and groups get savaged time and time again is a tragedy and one of the major factors holding the medium back.

AAP immediately rejects the HHS report: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

This is vile beyond words. How dare they take an author who fought to self actualize and make a career for herself in a incredibly hostile landscape and mechanize her image into a soulless marketing puppet.

Can’t believe JD Vance’s rancid vibes killed the pope.

It was bad

Imagine Ben shows up at your studio's door with one of the most staggering digital art portfolios in games, and it falls apart because someone wants him feeding the AI prompt mines instead of, you know, making actual art. Clown town.

Happy 420 and Easter! Sketch by @zoepolando.bsky.social Color and lines by me

Beginning to think I should keep my manifesto about pollinators nailed to the door to save time when the pest control salesmen show up.

Most of us worry sometimes about death and the afterlife. Most of us don't think about it in terms of eels. But the 4th-Century BC poet Philetaerus was not most of us. “Fear death," he warned us. "For when you are dead, you cannot eat eels.” 🗃️🧪

Photo study from last night. #digitalpainting #art
