I have a BIG QUESTION:

For the @werkplant.bsky.social newsletter I want to know EVERYTHING that's going on in the creative industry, especially when it comes to independent business practices...

What channels (outlets, Youtube, Bluesky, you name it) should I follow?

Repost is much appreciated!

🐈We're about to change that...

...Because in Cat Cafe Manager 2, you get to use your very own adorable ✨AIRFRYER!✨😻

GIVEAWAY: do you, or someone you know, want to attend INDIGO but find the cost a barrier? I will be giving away (at least) two tickets to people from marginalized backgrounds who struggle to access the event.

prepped my #Huevember prompt list for busy artists 🐝 who could still use a sense of accomplishment

🌈 every 3 days in November you pick the assigned hue + use it in your art as the most prominent colour
🌈 you can still adjust the brightness + saturation
🌈 join in (late) or make up your own prompts
