I tried with the TikTok but I just can’t. It feels like I’m visiting the wasteland of dancing conspiracy theorists. Sticking w/Insta, FB, & Bluesky @ artofjulie across platforms ✍🏼🖤 #artist #writer #tiktok

All I wanted for Valentine’s weekend was to binge the final episodes of Cobra Kai and it was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. #cobrakaineverdies #karatekid

Beware the sirens of Valentine's Day... Where vintage meets vamp, and romance drips like perfectly applied crimson lipstick. Let your dark heart celebrate this Valentine's Day. 🖤💋

Tea stained. In every worn edge & tarnished pattern lies a story of moments lived. Digital art meets aged china, sketched out first (& always) w/ Artsnacks supplies then finessed in Procreate - where eve pixels can hold the weight of time & the marks of a life well-worn. #art #procreate #illustrator

Chrysalis Dreams ✨ When you stare into the void, sometimes it stares back with butterfly wings. Created in Procreate with sketching brushes. What do you see in the patterns? 🖤

All but 2 🧠 The ones that don’t fit: Taking meds (I choose natural coping strategies) & sitting still (my vivid inner world keeps me content in one spot for hours). Which ones resonate with you? #ADHD #ADHDinWomen #NeurodiversityAwareness #ADHDLife #ADHDawareness #ADHDcommunity #WomenwithADHD

From Paper to Pixel ✏️✨ I start w/ Art Snacks supplies & traditional sketches before letting them evolve in the digital space. Anyone else sketch traditionally before going digital? Love seeing how an idea transforms across mediums! #digitalart #artistsofbluesky #artprocess #illustration #sketch #art

I wish I could use my Cintiq to draw with the same flow as I do on the iPad with Procreate. I'd love to use Adobe Fresco but it's not compatible with desktop computers. Anyone know of anything similar? #adobe #cintiq #ipad #procreate #arttools #art #digitalart #artquestion

Been feeling off all day since reading that Vulture article. I’ll forget for a moment & then it’ll hit me. I’m the kind of person who makes no idols of celebrities. I know that I don’t really KNOW any of those I admire. But then that article, the details…makes me sick to my stomach. #neilgaiman

I don’t care how many movies are made about Superman, I want to see them ALL. Although, Christopher Reeve & Margot Kidder will always be my Superman & Lois Lane. #superman #dccomics #loislane

Digital self-portrait of my ADHD 🧠 in motion while several projects orbit my consciousness. Art becomes therapy when wandering between neither here nor there, like lost thoughts on a midnight stroll... #ADHDart #LateDiscoveryADHD #DigitalArt #Neurodivergent #MyArt

All-time favorite Catwoman, the incomparable Julie Newmar 💫 Do you think The Penguin will get a second season? I love that Selina Kyle is Sophia’s half sister! She must’ve been on Ancestry, everyone’s finding all their long lost halfsies these days🤭 #catwoman #julienewmar #dccomics #ancestry #comics

From gentle morning coffee convos to unleashing absolute fire behind the kit for Imperial Triumphant - watching the husband bring 'Hotel Sphinx' to life in this Modern Drummer feature never ceases to amaze me. Makes my heart swell every single time. 🖤 #ImperialTriumphant #HotelSphinx #ModernDrummer

If you don’t want to read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein together by the fireplace whilst sharing a vintage bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in an abandoned château in the French countryside during a raging snowstorm, then please don’t tell me you’re “down for a good time”.

Another take on #inktober2024 Day 17: Journal. A glimpse into my 1997 move to NYC, where excitement and fear collided. The beginning of a whole new chapter. 27 years later, my mom still asks me, “I thought you wanted to come home. So, when are you coming back?” #artofjulie #art

Are you fully utilizing a raging thunderstorm if you're not sitting in a musty library discovering dark secrets by the light of a green-shaded lamp?

I don’t want to talk about politics ever again. I want to exist in my delusional escape from reality. Cheers 🥂

Watched #thepenguin season finale for the 2nd time & applauded again when it was over. Perfect show from start to finish, brilliant cast, incredible all around. I’m so proud of you #warnerbrothers for doing right by #dccomics 🐧♥️ #gotham
