A lil art recap of the last year of my art. Mostly snippets from my experiments and personal work in procreate, my favorite doodle form. BEHOLD, THE NONSENSE

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I think it's a really smart business decision, personally, to make my company wholly dependent on software that we never needed before.

Surely the gAI subscriptions I now rely on will *never* raise dramatically in price.

I highly recommend grabbing a commission from Dwuff! Her art is adorable and full of character, and she's an all round awesome person to create with. Go take a look!
Hi folks. Our rent is going up next month and it's going to be putting additional pressure on our finances. I'm unable to work a conventional job. I would really love to get a few more monthly members on my ko-fi. You get exclusive discounts on commissions!

Thank you for looking and sharing. ✨

Yyeeeesssssss. Art is actually the act and practice of processing your emotions, EVEN the ones related to practicing art! "I'm not good at this, ugh, what's the point, how even, I'm so inadequate, who would like this" the list goes on. Feel them. And carry on creating. Ta da. Youre an artist.
Muttering ‘ ᶠᵘᶜᵏⁱⁿᵍ ᶜʰʳⁱˢᵗ ‘ to yourself but you keep drawing anyway is actually so important to the artistic process

The creators of Myst series (@cyan.com) saved hundreds of video tapes from the making of their iconic adventure game franchose.

We helped preserve them. Here's what we found.

This photo I took of a McDonald's under construction has the aesthetic they should always have.

This is the Groove-billed Ani (Crotophaga sulcirostris), and it's just straight up a dinosaur.

Like, I know *all* birds are technically avian dinosaurs, but my first thought looking at this guy is: dinosaur.

Each night I say I'll go to bed earlier. Then midnight raptor rolls around bringing cravings and ennui, getting moody at shit and telling me my art will never amount to much while obsessively throwing weights around. So rude. Anyway it's 3:30am and they're not leaving.

So much this
Late capitalism as a self employed late-realized AuDHD artist is slowly killing me.

A lil video of a #storyboard for some very interesting advertising company that totally didn't drop me at the last minute because of DEI cuts. Really proud of what I did for the amount of time I was given though! And the agency I worked with was rad. I WILL storyboard my heart out despite it!

I am stuck with the irony of how creating art would free me from the self repression thats stopping me from creating art. I need to express myself in order to express myself ! is this why therapy
May 20, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Must. Concentrate. Stop. Stressing. Oh whats that? NOTHING DONT LOOK AT IT. Just stare blankly into space for an hour until the tears stop. What do you mean, you haven't been productive yet today? We don't have time for that. There are things to worry about that you doubt you can achieve!
