I would describe my creative process as epiphany-based. all my best ideas comes to me out of nowhere which sounds great but can be rather inconvenient

I am done with my graceless heart
so tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
#art 🧶
A plush heart hanging on a white wall. The center of the piece shows an eye embroidered in various shades of red thread looking sadly to the right, with one red teardrop bead beneath the waterline. Surrounding it are a variety of red beads to transition into the red felt body of the heart. There are rays of gold thread and beads emanating from the center to the edges, ending in a gold pearl border. There are three drips of red beads coming from the eye, ending in two small teardrops on the sides and a larger teardrop in the middle Completely hand embroidered

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

Happy 10th Anniversary!! This month we are revisiting the 1st ever #BirdWhisperer bird, the Gryfalcon! 🤍 Draw! Paint! Sculpt! We hope you'll join us. Posting day is Jan 28th.

Rules and Full Size Ref. Photo here: birdwhispererproject.com/participate/

#birds #art
Gryfalcons are the largest falcon in the world and come in four color morphs. Ours is a white morph seen from behind, with their head turned to our right. They are looking over their shoulder. Standing on the knobby remains of a still upright tree, branches coming off it are stumps. The background is a blurry green suggestion a forest.

Painting of a black-capped chickadee sitting on a bunch of shiny red berries. The bird has a tan body with grey wings and a black and white head. It's set against a lime green background and surrounded by dark teal filigree. Painted in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil Acrylic and gouache painting of a hissing tabby cat with green eyes. Her fur is mostly brown with darker stripes and white near her mouth. Her mouth is open with teeth bared and her ears are pointed back. Set against a dark-to-light green gradient background and surrounded by art nouveau style filigree. Her name, Bella, is incorporated into the border at the top Acrylic painting on a rectangular wooden panel depicting a white and pale red dog with pointy ears, a pink nose, and a sweet smile on her face. The background is filled with autumn trees. She is bordered by some art nouveau filigree, which incorporates her name, Molly, on the bottom Acrylic and gouache painting of Mr. Ugly Machine and Chapter. Chapter (fluffy grey/tan/white dog) is laying across his shoulders and held up by Matt's left arm. Both are looking at the viewer and set against a green background. They're bordered in a navy and silver filigree. There is a railroad spike knife on the top and bottom of the frame, pointing is opposing directions

I think it's this melty eye?
Painting of a brown eye melting down the page, with the color fading away near the bottom. The eyelid is in tact but the sclera and iris are being dragged down. It's built up on many soft layers of watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil

2025 was the year of bedazzling
atropius.bsky.social Jessie 🦇 @atropius.bsky.social · Jun 17
here is my resume
Two wooden mushrooms completely covered in rhinestones. The top on has a white stem and rainbow gradient cap with white spots. The bottom one has a stem with a blue to white gradient and a pink cap with white spots Three tiny eggs decorated to look like faberge eggs sat on red felt pillows. The left is made to look like the twelve panel egg, which features gold borders separating 12 white panels. On the panels are small blue drawings of trees and ribbons. The middle egg is the 12 monogram egg, which is royal blue with gold filigree details. There are monograms in each panel (M on top and A on the bottom halves) The right egg is the rose trellis egg, a light green egg with criss-crossing lines of gems. In each section is a rose and gold vines spreading everywhere An upside down ice cream cone but the ice cream scoop is shaped like a skull. The ice cream is pink, orange, and green to look like rainbow sherbet and completely covered in rhinestones. The cone is a matte tan with a waffle pattern A smiling shrek toy completely covered in rhinestones except for his head and hands. He's directly in the sun so very sparkly

Lychee's new years resolution is to not pee in the bed
atropius.bsky.social Jessie 🦇 @atropius.bsky.social · Jul 3
everyone say happy gotcha day to lychee!
we adopted her 6 years ago which makes her 18 now 😭
Lychee, a calico cat with green eyes, is wearing a tiny waluigi hat made from felt (purple hat with a upside-down letter L on it). This is her walui-chee costume Lychee on a bed and rolled onto her side, enjoying some belly rubs. She absolutely LIVES for belly rubs A calico cat is sitting in a crocheted cat bed, which is right in front of the tv. On the screen is korin, a white cat from dragon ball. They both have their eyes closed Lychee laying in bed with her eyes partially open. Her front paws are crossed and folded up next to her face

great news everyone, I went back to the antique store to buy the cookbook and the directions for opening an egg from page 34 are even more unhinged than I could have imagined
How To Open an Egg Be bold - be brave! More than anything else, it takes courage to open an egg. Hold the egg firmly in one hand over a bowl or other con-tainer. Then strike the egg smack in the middle with a sharp knite. You have to hit it not too hard, not too easy, making sure to break through the skin under the eggshell. But be sure your knife is sharp. When the shell is open, quick as a flash insert your fingers at the two sides of the opening and pull the shell apart. Let the yolk and white of the egg drop into the bowl. You may have trouble at first, either squeezing the shells or getting pieces of the shell into the egg. But practice makes perfect. Just remember - be bold - be brave!

I've become entirely too aware of when an author can't commit to writing a real asshole of a protagonist and instead devote PAGES of inner monologue or an omniscient narrator to explain the author is Actually Woke Okay

Obviously, the Trans Day of Remembrance Dual-Headed Phoenix that protects every trans person especially trans youth.

#trans #art #TDOR #WhatIsRememberedLives
A double-headed phoenix split down the middle into light blue and light pink for transgender symbolism, with "T" embedded in the wing flame on the blue side and "E" embedded in the wing flame on the pink side. It screams out and cries with bloody and watery tears for those who have fallen before us, that we remember on Trans Day of Remembrance. The phoenix has a trans colour heart, non-binary flag colour neck banner, and holding syringes of hormones in each respective claw. "Mourn the Dead Fight Like Hell for the Living"

I might be wrong but I think it's this block print I did earlier this year 💫
A black and white linocut print of a headless male torso with no forearms and top surgery scars that look like stars. Above the left shoulder is a bright sun and on the bottom left is a dark moon, and all around the rest of the image are stars.
