I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.

Comics are cool reason 2435243: old pages become this beautiful index of change and growth as your work matures. The pages form a continuous arc of development when that whole library is assembled, and that's amazing to take in. A story is formed out of a body of work.
Multiple angles of a ceramic sculpture of a griffin standing at attention, wings stretched out slightly, forming a heart shape. Its body is a warm brown with a light belly, pink-orange accents, and black tipped flight feathers. Big ole eyes stare back at the viewer. Illustrated all over its neck, wings, and back is foliage featuring the flowers and seeds of the American chestnut tree. Sculpted into its back is a candle holder with stars decorating the sides. A lit candle sits in the holder.
🌟 Fling Forward a Light 🌟
This sculpture is for the #UPwithART fundraiser supporting Unity Project London and Museum London in Ontario.
You can view all the work in person from April 17th-25th.

"saving time" with art is inherently nonsensical. there's no such thing as being efficient with art. art is not quantifiable, there's no way to measure/reduce what it takes to make it
there's economizing, though, and that's expertise in strategizing and condensing your steps within your limitations

I'm just posting the full latest Kingfisher page here, I worked hard on that house damn it!
i WILL be picking up a copy of tomodachi life living the dream this weekend i WILL make my ocs and make them be silly and stupid
the chaos of combining comic characters and dnd characters will be wild
The death grip this song has on me for when I'm animating things is wild. One of my faves to put on while working because of the BPM, *and* the music video is such a love letter to earlier era (UPA-esque) budget Japanese animation it's great 10/10

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr
1. barely works
2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate)
3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment
BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)
If those admins could load this post, they'd be very upset
UMBERT ACTUALLY! EPISODE 2!!!

This is not about winning anymore.
A new poster for Coyote Vs. Acme has been revealed at CinemaCon as well as confirmation that the first trailer will be dropping next week. It is so surreal this is finally coming out, but I am more than hyped given all it went through! I cannot wait to see this!
From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.
EVERY artist absolutely ADORES art made people who are not trained. We all look at it with absolute joy because it feels like the purest art that's possible.
We have all this training, but with it comes a lack of purity, and we spend our entire lives in futility trying to achieve that purity again.
Digital drawing of my artist-persona working on this drawing at their desk. In the background, a cinnamon roll themed satyr girl pulls back the white background like a curtain in order to speak to the viewer. She gives a happy thumbs-up and says; "We're super busy until July 2026. But things are going GREAT for our comic, Those Sweet Satyrs! Keep an eye out for more details and whatnot for when we get closer to an actual release date! You can read the work-in-progress version of Those Sweet Satyrs up through Chapter 3 on ChloeCorvid's Patreon!! Okay we gotta get back to work! Stay sweet!"
I'll wait to promo my stuff until *after* portfolio day because for once I'm actually pretty swamped with work until July! Good luck to everyone--I hope everyone can find good work this year
Managed to recoup the sleep I lost the night before due to The Horrors™️ so that’s a win. Gonna just… focus on reworking my daily schedules this week since I’ll officially be working more days a week and need to figure out where I can squeeze in time for personal projects and on what days

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
After one of the worst days of my life last weekend (not exaggerating either,) I have decided to splurge on something for myself once payday rolls around
I may never own the full lenox spice village… but i can at least afford the 4-piece set of coffee mugs
Managed to sleep 2.5 hours at least? I’m not used to insomnia. But this also isn’t insomnia, it’s lost sleep. So that sucks. I’ll live though. Normally not this negative or vague but… eughgh. Had a real bad saturday shift and i’ll leave at that i guess
They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖
Im so tired but cannot sleep.
Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!
You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.
