Figured I'd properly introduce myself, I'm FingerSmudges and I'm a queer artist based in Toronto!
I'll try any medium at least once, but the more I can mix together the better. If I'm not abandoning wips, I'm probably baking, or stuck in ADHD waiting mode.
Check out fingerSmudges.com for goodies!

Here’s a tip for graphic designers: if you include the “weakest” option in your pitch the client will choose it 9 times out of 10. If you include something you hate they will choose that option. They can’t help themselves. They don’t do it consciously but they’ll do it

Not surprising that Ireland pulled out. They ain't putting up with that shit fr
Extremely telling that Eurovision would rather have four countries drop out in boycott than ban one.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Even though I’m far from Chicago and other ICE hotspots, I can’t shake the feeling that whatever happens to one of us is a message to all of us.
It’s hard to wrap my head around how many people I know—family, old friends—are excusing, even cheering, this kind of thing.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I saw someone mention that AI is basically a thneed, promises to do a lot of cool stuff, but it's actually just a stupid thing that destroys the environment and I can't unsee the comparison, lmaoooo

Throwback to the Hazbin/Owl House swap designs I did!
I was actually in the middle of expanding on this idea before my work injury. But now that my arm's starting to get better, I may have to pick these back up....

It costs $0.00 to make an artist's day better? In this economy? Sounds like a steal ;)
