I sketched some pigeons! ⭐️

[ #cuteart #traditionalart #sketchbook ]
A sketchbook page showing four sketchy illustrations of pigeons made with neon colored pencils & micron pen. The only colors used were pink, green, blue, and purple. Each pigeon is posed differently, and one in particular looks distressed, with the words above it: “everything is too much.”

This image is a meme using characters from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to express a strong opinion on labor strikes within the video game industry. The first character asks if game developers should strike. The second character responds that all exploited workers should strike. The first asks if this is true even if it disrupts the industry. The second emphasizes that it should happen especially if it causes disruption.

bluesky is the #1 app for introspection
a comic with three frames: 1) a man is reading a book entitled "Why Your Bluesky Timeline Is Bad" 2) the man is looking at a page in the book and it reads "skill issue" 3) the man cries tears of anguish

Did a study in the most embarrassing way possible today

#art #3ds #artacademy #slam #zorn #masterstudy
A hand holding a 3ds with a digital study of an Anders Zorn painting on it. It's cropped in on a lady's face and a bit messy but recognizable as an attempt at the painting seen blurry in the background.

No new pictures.

Where are you at mentally?
A black cat in little round reading glasses sits behind an open book. He looks up and is presumably talking. The caption says: “It says here you’re a bitch.”

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that. I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport. I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house. I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Arwen ⭐
Ink drawing featuring my interpretation of Arwen Evenstar from Lord of the Rings. She is wearing a really cool dress and looking out at the viewer in seeming surprise. There is a star hanging over her head- otherwise, the background is black.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From!
This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

playing #pathfinder for the first time ever soon, here is my naari!
a drawing of my original character for pathfinder - a naari, half-human, half ifriti. he has horns and flames in his hair and is holding a flame in his hand, with some red markings - all genetically inherited from his ifriti side - across his pale olive skin, with blue eyes from his human side. his collar has ice blue gems across it, with an ice-blue moon showing on the cuff of his sleeve.

i have four modes of artistry
Charcoal drawing of a woman in a Gothic Victorian era dress, her head bowed Sticky note pencil drawing of a monster i saw in a nightmare with a spiked frog tongue that used it to scoop out people's insides Framed original comic panel of keyleth and vax from vox machina memorializing a moment between me and my spouse A cartoony selfie of me eating books on psychoanalysis, video games, and marxism

Option B: It opens on Goofy and the slop blender in one panel, then cuts to Mickey's reply in the second panel.
We are looking down at Goofy as he cowers away from Mickey, whose shadow we can see at the bottom of the composition. Behind Goofy is a giant hole with a turbine inside, around the hole is the label "Slop Blender". Goofy, scared, says "N-now Mick, wait--it doesn't have to be like this!!" Micky holding a gun and wearing a trench coat in a tunnel with dramatic lighting, smiles while tears stream down his face. Mickey says in response to the previous panel, "Sorry, Goof, the boss thinks this might generate shareholder value, ha-hah! Now get in the slop blender."

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
