Today's lunch break doodle. #FullMoon #illustration
A drawing of a blue cartoon moon with one hand over its mouth and the other hand held up as if to say "no thank you" while a speech bubble depicts a piece of pie with a "no" symbol over it.

Been a while, folks. Sorry for not checking in other than cross-posts. Busy and burned out and emotionally fried, but my head is still above ground and I'm running on spite and hope in future me.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

edit of you wouldn't download a car old meme says you wouldn't think of ideas. The font is in a rough graffiti stencil style that looks like it's missing paint in parts. the text is inconsistently raised and lowered in the background is a mix of horizontal streaks of maroon and light blue on black like VHS artifacts.

I made these portable altars last night: I've had one in my car for a few years and it's come in handy on multiple occasions. Sacred space wherever!

A small tin painted purple and decorated with a skull cameo and black ribbon covered in white potion bottles. A small tin painted green and decorated with a purple resin rose and black ribbon covered in white potion bottles. The tins are lined with matching paper in a Pagan theme and contain basic witchcraft supplies. Detailed picture of the tins' contents: a box of matches with incense, two packets of salt, a quartz crystal, a small mirror, and a tea candle.

NH anti-trans bill didn't get vetoed, I keep nodding off at work, and now I just got misgendered by our courier. He didn't even react when I corrected him. Twice. Such a great day so far. #SendHugs

The Grindark Studio Mixtape is underway ... here are Tracks 1 & 2: "This Corrosion" by Sisters of Mercy and "Bus to Beelzebub" by Soul Coughing #goth #VintageVibes #DigitalIllustration #gothmusic #90s
"Bus To Beelzebub": An anthropomorphized goat-bus with an inverted pentagram on its forehead waits for a "rubber-hose" demon in a suit and spats who is carrying a briefcase with a scared ghost on it. Text above the goat-bus reads "get on to the BUS". "This Corrosion": A pair of grey undead hands with warts and long purple nails holding a dropper bottle full of bright green liquid labeled "Hey Now Hey Now Now". The background is covered with a bright green splatter of acid.

“In your lands, we are called demons. Elsewhere, we’re simply called other gods,” the man says.

“Why is this?” I ask.

“Because yours is a jealous god,” he answers.

“And vengeful,” adds the woman.

“Basically,” the impish one shrugs, “your god is an asshole.”

I spent the day doing a BUNCH more character portraits ... and now my Instagram (necessary evil that it is) has this as a landing layout to promote Adjustments!

A 3x3 grid of Lines of Power character portraits with a vintage postcard for the fictional town of Aviario, Connecticut in the center. It is watermarked to prevent AI scraping or other art theft.

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride
Mspaint doodle- a person strides forward, wearing a shirt with a trans flag. They say "I LOVE being trans!". They have an expression of pure glee. The person is stopped by someone else, who accusingly points while they say "You! Justify your happiness to me!" The accosting person says "Debate me no-". They are cut off by the person in the trans shirt saying "No thank you!" as lasers shoot from their eyes, exploding the head of the other character in a cartoonish fashion. The accosting person stands, alive but expressionless as their headless torso smolders. The person in the trans shirt walks away, a stupidly happy grin still present.
