The body resisting isolation needs to be met by communities actively resisting multi-layered erasures of severely othered, marginalized realities. 'Another Beacon' asks who will reach in when the body sends out its flair signals amidst flare-ups. Support my art: www.inprnt.com/gallery/bydh...

Update: Last month's support means I can afford weekly treatments this month to help w pain management. Thank you!! I'm processing a mixed bag of worrying & hopeful news atm. Summary: aiming to hv enough for upcoming specialist/follow-up appts before end of year. Links to support my work in bio 💚

🌸 'Another Beacon' is the new art I showcased for my demo at FoF2025! A trad-digital visual meditation on living with chronic illness and disability while carrying desire for growth, solidatity & connectivity. 🖼️ Prints here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/bydh... #art #artists #bsnm #DisabledArtist #wonder

Been quiet. Dealing with multiple health emergencies while fighting severe pain levels to focus on/find work. I need to afford rest soon, to be ok enough for appointments - keep postponing specialist appts bc they're so expensive. If you can support: www.ko-fi.com/bydhiyanah #DisabledArtist

A simple "Are you okay?" with space to share, with dignity, has become a thing hoarded by the privileged. Good for you. The currents strike the unseen bones I carry, while truth creates a secret language In practiced Silence. 🤲🏽

You don't want our grief to exist, you don't care how much harm that does. You don't know how loud and harsh that is, how it pins you to the side you think you're opposing. Enough. Bring us embrace, mind and ears wide enough to hold us through waves of grief and rage.

Dipping in and out of details, like inhaling and exhaling. #wip #art #artists #illustration #process

Currently between WIPs + intense chronic pain management, haven't had time for new fish studies. I'm testing out video documentation, so here's a sped-up timelapse of my walking shark painting! #SundayFishSketch #SciArt 🐡 #art #wip #process #fish #FishArt #shark

It's been a lot (recovering from 2 health emergencies atm, trying to nurture quiet excitement about upcoming events). WIPs keep me buoyed while I let some spillage out through colors, wishing time was kinder 💆🏽🎨 #art #artists #WIP #watercolor #abstract #painting #colors #ArtYear

WIP & final views of my latest tree artwork! Available as a stand-alone phone wallpaper or part of a bundle supporting Paivapo Publishing's African Translation Project: ko-fi.com/africantrans... Share/support to fund the human translation of 3 books from the region! 💙📚 #art #translation #books

All funds for this go directly to Zukiswa of Paivapo Publishing in S. Africa, who's curating the translations of these 3 powerful stories from the region 💙📚 Works in translation have added so much to my understand of what languages/stories can do. Excited for these books! ko-fi.com/africantrans...

This artwork took 6+ hours to make, part of a personal series with years of prep work behind it. I donated 'Tree Guardian: Rooted Resonance' to this project with love & hope to see more community-driven support for global storytelling. Last hours to share/support: ko-fi.com/africantrans... 💙📚

And this shall be my mood for the upcoming days 🙌🏽

A lil sneak peek of new work and part of an upcoming demo showcase this weekend. More soon! First, bodymind needs to decompress 🍵🌸

Throwback to this rabbit snail sketch. Drawn on take-out packaging with borrowed pen from friendly staff during a medical appointment months back. I now remember to bring my sketchbook, alongside trusty jellyfish stim toy 💆🏽 #sketch #TradArt #SciArt #snail #invertebratr #art #DisabledArtist

Update: weekly treatments reduced to 2 sessions this month due to timing & needing funds for delayed urgent bloodwork. Recovering from recent major flare-ups. Hoping for a steady stream of work + sales to maintain/increase access to rest & treatments. My Ko-Fi shop: www.ko-fi.com/bydhiyanah 💚

#WIP Playing around with watercolor spills and mixed trad/digital layering for client work. It's so meditative. I'm happy to be playing around with this mix again (it took yeaaaaars to get the resources for this to happen, gonna fully enjoy it) 🌈🎨 #art #artists #watercolor #TradArt #painting

People say that and then go see legendary sequel 503 or live action remake of their childhood cartoon….

Belated #InverteFest share of art I'm still happy about. Batik + observational insect study meet & mingle for this series of vibrant bug art. 🐛 Planthopper Blossoms (Lawana candida) & Imago Dreams (Carriola moth) are available as prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/bydh... #SciArt #art #BugSky #bsnm

There's now an art bundle in the shop supporting the translation of African books! It's also the only place you can get this wallpaper art I made. All funds go directly to getting these books translated. Book 1 is in progress 📚💙 It'd be amazing to see Book 2 funded! 🌳 ko-fi.com/africantrans...

Another Lungfish study, this time from pieced-together irl references taken months back. Graphite in sketchbook 🐡🎨 #art #SundayFishSketch #SciArt #fish #FishArt #sketch #sketchbook #TradArt #ArtYear #artist #wildlife #WildlifeArt

I missed Aug's #InverteFest bc of difficult pain recovery cycle, so here's quote-post thread of belated art shares. Turned the devil reef crab watercolor study into a lil invertebrate queer cheer sticker! Slowly testing out this format. Salty but here 🦀🌈 #SciArt 🐡 #TradArt 🎨 #painting #WildlifeArt

Did a handful of #AugArthroAwe prompts last month & this study became a fave, for the fun texture play. I'm so happy it's in the latest #InverteFest art book! With an amazing collection of invertebrate art: drive.google.com/file/d/19wfG... #SciArt 🐡 #art #artists #illustration #bugs #BugSky

Keeping things low-key for the time being. Here's a scribble of an African Lungfish. Graphite in sketchbook. #SciArt 🐡 #TradArt 🎨 #SundayFishSketch #art #artists #WildlifeArt #fish #FishArt #NatureArt #sketchbook
