I've been taking this great art class from @yumingart.bsky.social that goes over so many fantastic composition concepts including the idea of "checkerboarding" or placing light shapes on a dark bg and vice versa. And I can't stop noticing examples of it now including this gorgeous sky of clouds!

Yeaahhh I think we're all biased towards thinking the art we grew up with was the best, but I am at least very grateful that publishing seems to have given up on the stock photo phase of the 2000s
Because tell me which of these you were more likely to open as a kid??

Remember, "sales" online especially around Black Friday are just made to look like big discounts after they artificially jacked up the price a few days beforehand.
You can often check the item's price history to see if it's actually a reduced price

I love how quickly I can finish a piece when I work with these big soft brushes. This took about 1.5 hours and that's close to the limit of how long I enjoy working in one sitting. It's not perfectly polished and detailed but it's good enough for me!

And finally here is Cricket! My first cat who I found crying in a bush in a west philly park when I was in my early 20s.
Why anyone would choose to buy a cat when there are so many amazing discard and homeless cats in need of love is beyond me!

Because I'm feeling sentimental and I already posted about Maple, here is Bindi!
Our youngest cat who we found on the side of the highway covered in fleas and with an infected eye as we were driving to our honeymoon. We cancelled the hotel and drove home with her instead. She is bff with Maple now

We fostered a litter of kittens that we named after trees: Rowan, Ash, Maple, Willow and Bonsai (the runt)
Maple was the only one who didn't get any adoption applications, and she was our favorite so we kept her and now she sleeps inside my sweater while I work 💛

I saved this perfect comic by @patabot.bsky.social years ago and I revisit it whenever I'm stretching myself creatively (literally doing anything)

One of my biggest skill gaps as an artist is being able to think three-dimensionally. It means I am overly reliant on reference and can't extrapolate small changes from imagination.
So I'm doing exercises like this- where I draw an outfit from ref and then draw again from imagination at a new angle

I want a 90 minute high production video essay about how whenever a female character gets possessed or "turned evil" the most common way to show she is "bad" now is to have her show any amount of sexual desire
Because we all know women wanting sex=bad
