from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

Good news, though I feel dumb admitting the reason why! Many items in my shop will be available to US customers again soon! Apparently Spain reopened shipments to the US in October. I felt such deep despair when De Minimus was repealed in August that I totally neglected to keep up with news 😵‍💫

Nine Delights 2026

Make 2026 the year most of y’all start using alt text.

Captain is 18 years old, arthritic and grumpy. As often happens with elderly cats, grooming has not been a priority & he refused brushing, so he became matted (even as a shorthair).

UCOB job stones are live!!!! I am going to be at Magfest next weekend so orders will be a few days late if they come in while I'm gone, but I'm really excited this design worked out so well! Shares much appreciated <3 #UCOB #jobstones #FFXIVart #Bahamut www.etsy.com/listing/4433...

Two weeks until the Animal Crossing update goes live Two weeks until my Irish passport is estimated to be issued Three weeks until Mint Chocoturtle & Pals launches Lots to look forward to...!

No art round up from me—I didn’t make a whole lot this year. Still wrestling with burnout and been super inconsistent, but slowly finding my way with sketches and projects. Such is life! Here’s to 2026 & new adventures.

Trying to play Cult of the Lamb, Mochi thinks I should offer him devotion instead.

My new campaign starts in less then a month! 'Make a Scene' pin project comes out the 22nd. This project includes a large background pin with scattered 'hidden' holes and 2 mini pins. Stack mini pins on top to make scenes or use your own! Please follow to see updates. tinyurl.com/pscene

I don’t believe in using AI in any part of the writing process I don’t believe in using AI for ideas, moodboards, brainstorming, building outlines, none of that From the first letter to the last period I believe it all should be done by a human hand The blood, sweat, tears of it all is the appeal

Mochi is a very good flyer! He goes with us on flights 2-3 times a year. He loves the entire ritual: the taxi ride, being held during the security shuffle and strolling through the airport with all the other passengers. On the plane he is quiet and happy as a clam in his under-seat bag. 🥰 #dog

Look these baby crabs 🦀✨️

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!

“They only use genAI for internal use” “It’s just for generating some ideas, it’s not even really more efficient”

I left my ipad and laptop at home this holiday. Instead I brought along a sketchbook to try and rekindle the free flow of creative energy I can’t seem to tap into as well digitally

I love taking terrible photos of my very cute dog… Lilo behavior

Socmed has taught people that art is “content” & to receive recognition, you must produce quickly and frequently. Twitter & other sites encourage this with tweaks to algorithms & visibility. We have to unlearn what social media has taught, with regards to how to achieve “success “.

The municipality of Zaragoza in Spain contains a "video game neighborhood" that began development in 2010 with a street called "Avenida de Súper Mario Bros" and has since expanded to 10 streets named after various video game franchises.

Sketched from memory after years of not drawing horses. I can definitely feel the rust is there but they’re not TOO bad #art #horse

I was a part of an E33 group on FB and had to leave The number of “idc if companies use genAI as long as the games are good and cheap” comments is so disheartening

I think every comics creator should internalize the fact that using a.i. for any part of your job not only comprises your work but it also fucks over every other person working with you. It's not worth it. Ever.

The only power I've got in this world is to make art so I will continue to do so, but spitefully
