The unfurling fronds of this Soft Shield Fern, Polystichum setiferum, are so beautiful. They look like green seahorses swimming across the woodland floor. 💚 #FernFriday

AI rots your brain. Writing with ChatGPT is worse than writing shitfaced after a pub crawl.

Libraries are COOL and everyone should check out the resources their local library can provide. And whenever possible, vote to give libraries more money! I read 1-2 audiobooks a week, checked out via a phone app! Last summer I won a tote bag and a deck of cards in a reading challenge! #booksky

It's the end of the month, which means it's the perfect time to make any purchases before we calculate our 10% donation to Doctors Without Borders! We've still got a few more limited edition pre-orders for This Mortal Coil up for grabs along with The Traitor & The Wretch! www.bonedustpress.com

It's tough seeing every single freelance artist I know having the same "uhh I haven't had paying work or sales in weeks" posts, it's gotten extremely tough out there for us. If you have the means, please consider treating yourself to a commission or print or book from an artist you like, it helps!

Hi all! Let me reintroduce myself! My name is Fern, I use they/she pronouns. 😊

Just a little PSA for those who commission artists, if they send you a sketch update and your response is "looks great" then they send a line art update and tell you they've started coloring, that's not the time to request changes to things. Some will be happy to do so but

The fact that we idolize Abraham Lincoln instead of Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, and John Brown is a problem too.

ANYWAY if you think you might enjoy a highly cursed magical forest and adventures with animal friends, you might enjoy THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST (the real one, not the reference in The Adventure Zone)! It was a finalist for the Hugo, Nebula, Aurora, Locus, Ignyte, and World Fantasy Award!

commission for @lynarryo.bsky.social, who wanted to see Imodna getting dressed and enjoying casual everyday intimacy 💜🖤 which, as you know, is something i love depicting in art! thank you for commissioning me 🥰 #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #Imodna

companies might be looking to cut artists from the process BUT ppl are still hungry for human made art, at this point it’s the only thing keeping the lights on, but what a magnificent faith restoring thing it is 🥲

Restocked a bunch of prints today! Come snatch up some goodies: charnelhousecurios.square.site

So... I've come to the conclusion that I'm not sure I want to do commissions anymore. Professional freelance work, yes, please, I'll always take that. But the grind and I just... we don't vibe anymore. But. Would anyone be interested in pre-made character designs? Cuz I love designing characters.

Bree has the cutest shop. Help her out with some real orders of stickers, pins, stationery, and more! I get compliments every single time I pull out this bag -

Abrekhan for @tonateosoup.bsky.social 💙🐟 A very fun commission where I was given total freedom to pick character and pose, so I went a bit wild with it! 🥰 (There's process videos and much more on my Patreon! ^^) #art #VgenComm #commission #fantasyart #vgen

Here's my most recent batch of ceramics! I worked my butt off to fit in the time to get to do these, and I really love the results... I hope you do, too! All of the pieces still available are part of my big annual sale: sasharjones.com/store?catego...

Heads up - I'm waiting on more printing supplies to finish existing orders, so I left the sale still going if anyone was still looking for 20% off!

A lot of small business and indie artists are unaware of uline’s shittiness. They’re bad! Don’t use them! I am currently using mailersUSA.com for my packing materials, and as far as I know they do not fund fascism.

Being an autistic adult is occasionally, or even quite often, having to ask people you love if they are mad at you because their tone changed even slightly and now you’re in an anxiety spiral because you have a history of people you love being mad at you and you not knowing why

Killarney Fern (Vandenboschia speciosa) from a wooded glen in Co. Tyrone today. Gametophyte being locally frequent forming colonies up to 1m^2. Sporophytes also present in ~relatively~ open conditions. What a treat! @bsbibotany.bsky.social @bsbiireland.bsky.social
