It’s not a revelation to say the holidays are exhausting. Having to suddenly go to a family funeral right at the tail end of it after this fucking shitshow of a year has me so beyond done with 2025. It should have been a year to celebrate my eldest’s achievements. Instead it’s just so entirely sour

Bonus: you don’t even have to be hyper talented or experienced. Be nice to work with, work well and the right people will pass your name around. Also: go to things.
I've worked in quite a few creative industries and I've found that one of the best way to make friends is to be reliable and get things done on time. You don't need to be the best, just someone who can be counted on.

There's so many other things you can do to showcase your art in a decluttered way, like using a hashtag specifically for your own art or making a feed. Some folk have an extra account. There's literally no reason to not reskeet art you like from others.
I don't get people who super curate their pages to not rt or promote other artists due to "clutter" - there's nothing more real to me as an artist than to have my creative works shown alongside other even more beautiful ones! I think it just highlights how wonderfully individualistic we are!!

On December 26th, while I was out on my morning dog walk, I wished the mailman “Happy Holidays” to which he replied “Merry Christmas”.

This year! So many projects, so little time - especially for posting about them
Let's see, if I can rectify this in the next few days.^^

My very last piece of art in 2024 was a pet portrait for a kiriban winner on this account. I drew him surrounded by floral local to his home. I just love that mohawk!

In this household, kids don’t consider it “Christmas” until they’ve decorated sugar cookies. It got silly a decade back and it gets progressively weirder each year.
“Biblically accurate woke Santa” (her designation, not mine) has the most threatening aura IMO

My second to last post in the advent calendar. 🤗
Tonberries are so cute yet terrifying I just had to make him. 😄 Wanted to use the FF font, but realized how difficult it is to embroider printed letters, had to redo it twice & still could be better, perhaps next time.
