Screenshot of text, written by me, which reads: “A message to any early-career creatives, wondering if things have always been this tough: No. No they haven’t. I’ve been doing this for 30 yrs, through recessions, financial crashes, pandemics and wars. It has *NEVER* been this tough, not even close. But please, PLEASE keep going if you can. Your work has never been more needed or more important.”

sketch of a character. He is thin and pale skinned, with long brown hair put up into a messy bun. He is wearing a loose, open shirt and tight, high waisted pants with high boots. His face looks tired and grumpy. He is sitting in a very slouchy pose.

Watercolor doodle of a butterfly standing up on two legs like a human and smoking a cigarette. It says, make shitty art if you want to, who's going to stop you?

Drawing of a trans masculine person named Lace. He is small and thin with chin-length wavy dark hair. He is wearing a choker, long black pants, and black boots with gold floral accents. He has top surgery scars colored red, a black snake tattoo, and angel wings shaped like those of a swallow. He is holding a sword while crying. He is colored purple, his wings blue, and the sword gold with red on the end. He has a yellow halo and a bunch of big thumbtacks pointed inward at his head. The background is teal with a darker border with leaf decorations. There are different colored squares overlapping the border.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes
Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

me, each time I work on an extrinsic art project: "I can't wait until I have time to draw my OCs again!"

me, when I have all the time in the world: "... drawing humans is too difficult, let's start a personal challenge to draw a different fruit every day instead..."

My project is creeping along so slowly that even the snails are passing it by. There's a little snail express line next to my outline, and the critters have lots of fun overtaking it 😅

Aster and Eve, beauty and the beast :P

#art #oc #queerart #ocsky 🎨
Drawing of a trans man, Aster, looking up at a huge human-faced dragon, Eve, and sticking his tongue out at them. Aster has long blond hair and is wearing a very dirty white and green oversized shirt. Eve is long and pinkish color with gray-blue hair and curly black horns. Eve looks annoyed with Aster.

As a trans* person whose biggest 'crime' was not carrying my ID card on me once because I forgot it in another backpack, I think it is inhuman for my identity to be tracked just because a hypothetical person 'might' abuse the system. We are real, and we are not criminals.

WIP of my first ever jelly gouache art - I thought a landscape study would be a good subject to get into - and then I realised I'm not actually that good at landscapes yet 😅

anyway, I'll add a fine detail layer with coloured pencils later. Can't get fine details with brushes, thanks shaky hands :-\
a desert landscape painting. The sky is blue over an orange rocky landscape. There are some grey-green bushes dotted all over.
