Always such wonderful cat art, please check it out! 👇🖤👇

One of the things I do for my Ko-fi supporters is 5 Minute Breathers- videos to breathe & decompress to while hanging out on my porch with me. Like this, but longer 🌈 My birthday is this month & my goal is to have 20 new Monthly Supporters! Celebrate with me: destinytoro.com/ko-fi

Me, in the days before October: Should I pick an art challenge? Pick prompts from multiple? Do a personal challenge for my oracle deck? Do Untober & TOROtober from last year? Happy birthday month to me! Also me: MASSIVE HEADACHE REARRANGES TIME AND SPACE FOR DAYS WHAT IS OCTOBER

This season's Ko-fi mail for Monthly Supporters 📬 I mail quarterly, so these will go out in December 💌 Monthly Supporters also get a free commission for their 1yr anniversary & automatically contribute to a mutual aid fund! https://destinytoro.com/ko-fi #art

Only 1 week left until The River and The Star by @gromerolacruz.bsky.social is released! This series is inspired by Venezuelan history, and it touches many issues facing the Latinx community, including patriarchy, colorism, colonization, and more in a beautifully written fantasy world.

1/ I have a story about this piece! Each of the pieces in this collection was based on one of my real ancestors, with the exception of this one. I didn't descend from Jaciel. In fact, us being related was a joke between us for years. We met when I was working the bread station at a kebab shop and

Quote with your yellow art 🟡 This piece is Ayalájira Mayohuacán Jaciel from the OPIA Collection last year, exploring ways our ancestors might be living their lives parallel to us. Full collection here: www.destinytoro.com/toro-portfol...

ICYMI my fall shop update is rolling out rn! I have 2 calendars and new mugs up in the shop already. destinytoro.com

Another! A non-violin performance in 2013- Auditory Feast- in the basement of an old hotel, creating a soundscape from microphones attached to food and plates and hydrophones in champagne. Homer Flynn (The Residents 👁️) was the main guest that night.

Post you from a different era: I used to be an experimental sound art musician (violin, primarily). This is me & my musical partner (yes, he’s drumming piano guts) performing in a historic waterworks building, opening for Zeena Parkins (Bjork’s harpist) & Ikue Mori in 2009.

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to this 🖤 I met over half my goal this weekend, only $65 left to reach it.

Mama was a cuddly pregnant teenager when I found her and she slept on me all the time. But after she gave birth, she stopped sleeping and cuddling on me. Next to me? Absolutely. On me? “NO.” 3 years later, we’ve finally worked up to this 🖤 multiple times a day sometimes:

I haven’t paid the #CatTax lately so here’s Mama in her favorite day time sleeping spot 🖤

Is anyone else experiencing the new Procreate 5.4 brushes not working in Dreams? They import, pretend like they’re working, but no strokes actually show up.

Thanks for the help so far! One-time support on Ko-fi gives you access to most posts and downloads, check out the Easy Access Links🔗 post once you’re in there. If 15 folks give $9 on Ko-fi, I can reach my goal this weekend 🖤

One entire year since our beloved @tinu.bsky.social has passed. I hoped I would never write those words. If you are having a hard time, please do what you need to in order to take care. Do the thing she loved. Random acts of love, mutual aid, community care. Rest, real self-care. Always love. ❤️

I’m trying to pull together $150 for essential bills this weekend, incl my website renewal in the middle of rolling out my holiday shop update. I’ve met 2% of my Ko-fi goal & have had $0 in sales or commissions in 2 months. Help me reach this goal so I can breathe a little 🖤 destinytoro.com/ko-fi

One of the ways my chronic illnesses work is it gives me a huge food sensitivity for a few years, resolves, then other comes along. First bread, then eggs. Now? Tomatoes 🍅🥺 At least I have bread and eggs back, but I’ll prob be without tomatoes for about 5 years if history repeats. Devastating tbh.

Stella's #commission process 🖤💜 Commissions make really great holiday gifts, and it's best to order them with plenty of lead time. I have a one-month turnaround if I'm not fully booked, other artists may have more or less. And if you order a print, there is also order/shipping time. #art #artshop

🔷 #BlueSkyArtShow #Angles 🔷 I love the use of angles & geometric designs in our Taino art to describe the world around us. This symbol has many functions- it explains the expansion of the universe, the 4 directions & elements, holds within it many, many stories. #art #illustration #IndigenousArt
