A lesson every artist has to learn: it's vital that you learn to derive enjoyment (or at least grim satisfaction) from the process of creating, not the end result or external validation. You need to nurture the bastard stubbornness within yourself that lets you persevere long enough to improve.

Had to adjust this for our latest party shenanigans

When are we going to accept the human race has evolved to hibernate. I feel the inevitable pull of overeating so I can collapse into my den for a few months.

rainbow mothman comes to me in my waking dreams and goes MAKE ART. I must comply.

I watched the second part of a hugely popular franchise and uh. yeah. that's something i watched

Two little fishercats weather a storm.

My hand hurts but the fish now have lineart 😫 #art #wip

I moved my big comfy cushion onto the floor against the radiator and the cat lay behind me on the windowsill, purring while I read. About half hour into this, I had the realisation that my life is very good. 💚

Immortalised Titch in my book as a little old cat lady who wears a lace doily as a shawl.

We lost this magical little creature yesterday. I miss her a lot, everything in the house feels quieter, fuller and dimmer without her already. I would redo it all again, even with the same outcome, in a heartbeat. She's been the greatest joy of our lives. You did so good, Titch. You did so good. 💚

Trying to summon the willpower to go feed the geese but it's so cold and dark

Loved drawing this little LRP character!! Very fun commission

Remembering my loved ones who have passed tonight. I feel that loss. Sometimes the weight feels so heavy. How can something no longer here be so heavy. I hold onto that love so they stay with me. But my home is full of light, warmth & laughter. My life is filled with happiness & tonight I am alive.

I'm exceptionally pleased with myself.

There's only 20 tickets left for my event 16 hours after opening to the general public and I'm incredibly proud but my god the imposter syndrome is wilding yet again.

My favourite wet cat 💚 Torbek from Once Upon a Witchlight

Watched lake Placid tonight. I fucking love crocdiles

Who's there, who's there, oh it's just the skin bear 🎵 My drawing tablet is broken so I'm back on the ol' traditional art drawing this happy little friend. Inspired by reading up on Navajo skinwalkers and funky Appalachia trail cam footage. #horrorart #cryptid

Spooktober This year I'm focusing entirely on the underappreciated support acts of horror films. The animals. I'll be drawing some of my favourite horror films but only showing the animals that feature in them. DAY ONE- RATS (NOSFERATU)

We genuinely say "that's gay" as a response to "I love you" so muchthat I'm worried one day one of us will be seriously injured and one of us will be crying "you can't die, I love you". The other will force out "that's...gay." and die.

There's a lot of stuff that comes from my rescue cat spending the first part of his life in isolation but the one that gets me on the daily is he doesn't do slow love blinks. I don't why it breaks my heart so much 😭

my partner's character model on 7 days to die is so stunning the first time we met in game I couldn't speak properly. I can still hardly look at her so I've stayed till 5am making fanart. #7daystodie

'Jamestown', 2025. cw: themes of cannibalism, eye strain, skulls I've been trying for a while to make art about how I feel about the *gestures at world* It's hard to draw the feeling of being full of both hope and incredible amounts of anger.

Thank you, Octopus Gallery! Completing the triptych, here's Tails with his own Health & Safety advic- uh - OK, Tails, let's get you to bed

Blessed Beltain Crew! 🌺🪻🌻🌼🔥 May you eat, drink, be merry and burn many wicker effigies. 💜

Sometimes I work in absolute silence so I can hear my elderly cat's tiny little purrs while she sits in her favourite spot.

So my dug nearly died in today's starwars session

Punk, punk never dies.

Fuck it, we ball. Trans women are women, trans men are men, non binary people exist. If the law is unjust I guess I am unlawful.

New tattoo! signature of my grandfather I never got to meet due to receiving tainted blood after a motor accident. He was an artist, we were apparently very similar, talk the same, laugh the same, but the closest thing i have of him is a thumbprint on an old brush. Now I have something even closer.

Wrong type of monster slayer. Hey did you know I run a LARP all about monster slaying? It's called Jaeger and it runs this April!! shaaaameless plug.

There are places where my sadness doesn't exist.

I had to draw her #marinelife 🐡

Who knows if fish have a concept of an afterlife but my cat's breath definitely smells like it's where tuna die and go to hell.
