Little doodle of a lion-like creature #doodle #biro

I haven’t left the house today and it’s been ✨ glorious ✨

Having to use the train during a weather warning 🫤 wish me luck!

Chat is Vine coming back a recession indicator

I don’t want a robot assistant I want job security and to be able to retire before I crumble into dust.

that’s what I’ve been saaaayying maaan

What’s happened here?? looks like a tiny horse has been clip-clopping over my plant #monstera #plants

Photoshop I am quite simply uninterested in your scratch disks.

Perfect client interaction today - they took my advice about spot colours, labelled everything clearly and made their files super easy to understand and edit. 10/10.

Our Giant African Land Snail went into hibernation! She’s out again now but it was a really weird thing. #sketchbook

It’s taken me almost three hours to get to work this morning 💀

This is last year’s Halloween post but she still cute #art #illustration #halloween

At the cinema today I got asked if I wanted some “Gabby’s Dollhouse” stickers… um…

Daisy. #art #sketchbook

If you’re looking for a husband it’s groomscrolling

Had to make a 14,000mm long Photoshop file earlier 🤢

Nothin else for it

just realized last week is already 3 months ago

Thematically this is the time of year I should be thriving creatively but it’s also the time of year I get the most burnout. Quick snakey lady is better than nothing! #art

I’m using foam clay for the first time and it feels absolutely foul, but I think it’s going to be pretty useful! #halloween

Against all odds I am actually quite good at being a morning person. I just… look like this first off. #doodle

Goddamn @theamynicholson.bsky.social COOKED with this FRANKENSTEIN review. Bow down to one of the greats. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Back on the admin train and I feel like I’m going to be sick even though everything has been absolutely fine. Not sure why I get anxiety over stuff like this 🤢

Having thin/curly hair and waking up like this every day.

Another card for a family birthday #illustration

Finally worked up the courage to deal with some (trivial) admin tasks that I’ve been putting off for literally years… and I’ve been foiled by one website that doesn’t work, and one that’s down for “improvements” 🙄🙄🙄🙄

She’s worked hard on this.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

#cursedrelics2025 I really enjoy the Cursed Relics prompts, glad I could find some time today for this one - Shadowfang Blade

Turns out a problem shared really is a problem halved 🤦🏻‍♀️

I look weird doing activities

If you see this, post fungi.

Can’t Photoshop open a pdf without making such a drama about it 😭

Got to draw some more swords! I might go back and do some more of the #swordtember prompts a bit later in the year when I have a bit more free time.

lets go ghouls

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

🍂 It's officially Autumn! 🍂 Quote repost with your Autumn themed #art *NO A/I

I’ve damaged the paper a bit around her hair but had a nice time practicing freehand with my ancient dip pen set today. #art #inking

Found time for #swordtember Vapor today ☺️

Years (and years) ago I had this obsession of making these little fabric flowers. I have SO MANY and I just don’t know what to do with them?? I’m trying to have a clear out but I can’t bring myself to get rid of them… but they’ve just been sitting in a box for years so I’m actually quite torn.

I am not your audience actually.
