Silhouette of a grey cat (Hank) with his back to the viewer, sitting in a bright, sunny window nook, looking at flowering pink trees.
Over the weekend, my sweet cat companion of 15 years passed away. Hank was cuddle bug and a sass master and he'd been through the health ringer in his life. I am honored to have had him in my life for so long and I'll miss him every single day.
I love you, Hank. You were a legend. <3
Exactly! Pretending to smoke a stick and then throws it into the water
Oh my god, the way he's probably constantly pointing at Y'lai like "HEY. Heeeey--don't you DO IT!"
I'm laughing because Y'lai's familiar is a spriggan
Buddy I can barely make it through a workday like "why are we hereeeee!! I should be home PREPARING!"
I see you and it's REALLY crazy making. People are gonna learn the hard way and I'm the most terrified for them.
It's on Netflix and Netflix kills shows whenever they want on purpose 🤷
I didnt get around to saying it on account of it being a hell of a week but please, if you havent, go watch S2 of Castlevania: Nocturne
A bunch of people worked really hard on it and its the last thing I worked on before *gestures at animation industry* and Im really proud of that! So go watch it!
My human Erzsebet designs for Castlevania: Nocturne! One of my greatest joys this season was getting to create fantastical Tudor/Stuart looks for her

I loved drawing her in this 😍
They really ARE. They are and all way can do is prepare. Know your interstate network. Grow food in your house. Have a go-bag and a physical map. When people FIND OUT in 1-6 months, its gonna be dicey.
I keep seeing people say "oh no 4 more years" like it hasn't dawned on them that this is a fascist regime and they'll never really vote again let alone in 4 years and at this point that much lack of awareness is fucking wild to me.
Like are you planning to overthrow it first? Can I come?
Its looks fun so it must BE fun! And who gets paid to have fun!?
They don't get it. Its still a dismissed profession by the broad public. But they got educated.
I've gotten this reaction to what art from a professional will cost you and I'm more irritated than ever by it.
I would love to be paid to do art. I just don't have the spoons to market myself and work a full time job anymore.
It sucks getting that reminder how little normies value what I do.
they were SHOCKED that I would even charge. "But you're here so you do it for fun now, I figured." Like...no. My previous industry is on its knees, I got laid off a year ago and I needed this job to survive. It's been years since +
Got approached at work (not a design/art job, unfortunately) for 13 caricature portraits of every employee that works in the clinic for the walls. "We thought it would be kinda fun for you."
I told them my hourly rate and how much it would cost per caricature per my experience and training and +

Jim Carry Grinch IS the best Grinch movie out there. Hands down. Also a ridiculously impressive feat in practical effects/set/costume. That movie holds all the way up!

Phew! Bluesky needs you over here. I deleted my bird app and realized that the "news" side of this app isn't even reporting on the important things you analyze and break down. Your insight is invaluable.
(I know you're not a reporter! Just saying, glad you're here!)
