This is the reason why I don't wear make up often - to me it's all or nothing. I don't do just mascara or foundation. It's spiders on the cheeks or don't bother.
Should I even mention it was fun and kids got lots of fun and tons of sweets!

I finished a big project and now I feel empty inside. Like, what is my purpose? Oh well, I bet in couple of hours I'll find myself buried under some other insane deadlines. It's not like I still got October work 'work' to finish 🫠

I'm a happy little human bean working on super cute commissions and surprisingly fun projects at work. And I might be able to share the commission stuff here soon!

I love seeing everyone's #artvsartist2024 posts.
Unfortunately I got nothing to show for, full time working as an illustrator is no joke. Maybe one day I'll share some of my fav work projects 🎨

Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.
More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live):

Tbh Mickey House struggles with even including diverse characters so what would you expect? Also I hope for the story like owl house where nothing is forced, comes naturally and can't be cut out. Simply slapping a label isn't good for me 🎨
At what point are trans people allowed to exist in the narrative? At what point are LGBT+ people allowed to tell our stories without worry of censorship or removal?
Disney Pulls Transgender Storyline from Pixar’s ‘Win or Lose’ Streaming Series (Exclusive)
The original animated show about a co-ed high school team debuts on Disney+ in February.

What's bluesky drama is about? Confused atm. Also 🐦 app was always ok for me and still is. It's algorithm driven and if you don't interact with angry people you get nice random stuff in your feed😂 Since bluesky is much smaller community all I can see now people being upset about something 🫠

Finished commissions, only one more week left at work before I break up for Christmas. Fingers crossed I'll manage to draw some personal portfolio worthy illustrations 🖍️

I need to finish some new illustrations and stop reposting same 4-5 pieces all the time.
Working full time as illustrator while juggling family life ain't easy!

Can someone explain to me how to make a list of artists here? I was thinking about creating one for Polish illustrators.
