30-something female-adjacent humanoid in Tennessee, USA.

Pet portraits and character art, pictures of my four rescue pets, and too much yapping.

No AI, ever.

Ok ok ok I just made one of the coolest things I’ve ever done, very different from my usual stuff, and it was mostly an accident.

It started as figure painting practice with an awesome ref by @trueref.bsky.social, and it just kind of ran away from me.

What should I title it???

Finally finished my homework for Week 4 of #sylbootcamp! Iga joins Shante and Tosh in my series of Arc the Lad fanart/reboots.

The focus this week was on mouths, so I chose Iga for his scowl.

No I don't want to "quickly hop on a call with you". I want to bump into you at random on a rain-lashed heath, nod at you in silent mutual admiration as we watch a buzzard gliding smoothly over a dramatic chicane in the river, then get the fuck on with my day

This is pretty cool! Interestingly, it placed me in a diffuse area on the outskirts of the fantasy & sci-fi writers, instead of in or near a cluster of artists.
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Brother Mort liked the peace and solitude of his herb garden but even so a visit from Sister Dot and her latest tranche of dirty jokes rarely went unappreciated

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Years ago for #Ha-Nahn I painted this piece called Borderland Scout. But the border scouts of Ha-Nahn are so markedly different from any border guards in our world. They're not there to keep people from moving across nations but rather aid travelers in need, alert about dangers/monsters etc.

Typing words into a text box and having art appear: commissions
February 4, 2026 at 1:48 PM
FB just reminded me of a friend’s (acquaintance’s) birthday, and THAT reminded me that they ghosted me halfway through a commission, stiffing me out of the second half of payment.

It hurt to remember that, and not because of the money, or even the perceived insult to my art.

Then I inherited Zeus.

Green is my favorite color! It’s weird I don’t have more green art.

the conspiratorial part of me wants to say that there's no way Adobe is so stupid as to spontaneously shut down an industry-wide used program so it must be deliberate sabotage on art to artificially force usage of gAI

but on the other hand "they are in fact that stupid" is a valid counter-argument
