If you think the tragically born without a brain is harsh then please meet Ditto: they refuse to have gender and have never thought once in their entire existence and I genuinely believe lack the capacity for thought
A photo of my pet whites tree frog Ditto. They are a pastel green with patches of brown and a white underbelly. They are sitting very politely with a big smile on their face. There is absolutely no sentience behind their eyes

People kept sending me that video of the girl who drew and stuck up art for her frog so I gave the people what they wanted and did the same. Nothing but the best for my babies 💅 #art
A photograph of three small crayon drawings on a cutting mat. The first one is of a smiling frog on a lilypad on some water with some rushes in the background on a sunny day. The second is of a smiling frog with its back to us on a beach at sunset. The third is of a smiling frog sitting on some leaves A photograph of my pet whites tree frog Ditto on a pink couch stuck to the glass door of the tank. Ditto has a blank expression on their face. I have stuck 3 small drawings to the outside of the tank for my frogs to peruse

Got one of works old animation computers which meant I had no excuse to not defeat the optional boss of artists: the blender donut
A image of 3 3D iced donuts with Lilypad sprinkles on a white ceramic plate on a marble table. Drawing on top of the image is my frogsona doing the wojak pointing meme at the donuts. A crude drawing of my pet frog beans is on the donuts

Fun fact: I experience most of my emotional processing of things through dreams and now I’m making it pay rent by making a 24 page comic about it. Please make sure I finish it so I can finally be free #comic

There is a speech bubble superimposed on top of it that has text that says “I am not your lover”. In the bottom right corner is text that says “by Kinley Raftery”

Decided to do some watercolour again after a long break and came up with this wave of frogs. Above is the sketch and below the final 🐸🌊 Pretty happy with how this turned out honestly #art #frog
A photograph of two drawings against a wooden board. Both depict a roiling wave of frogs, one is a pencil sketch at the top and the other is the finished watercolour painting. The frogs in the watercolour are a mix of greens and browns with gold eyes

If you don’t know who Beans is, this is Beans: she likes to eat dirt and I had to revoke her dirt privileges because her body doesn’t like digesting and passing dirt
A photograph of my pet Whites Tree Frog Beans. She is a pale blue with a white underbelly and pink hands. She has one hand resting on the glass and appears to look at the viewer. She has a natural smile and she has big gold eyes with wide irises because the light level is low. She is standing on some blue foam next to her water dish

Because I have free will I drew Beans as a froggy adventurer. Everyone agrees she is a Druid because eating dirt is her favourite activity #art
A illustration of a blue green frog adventurer with a big coat, a striped green shirt and dark pants and gloves. She is wearing a big scarf with a bean pattern She has metal covers on her knuckles and knees and a cricket in her coat pocket. She a big smile and big gold eyes and is holding one arm out throwing magical glowing beans and the other arm is holding a staff with a magical bean in it. She is against a white background with light green circles and surrounded by a golden border with lilypad corners

Proof just in case you don’t believe me, I don’t have a normal sized roll to compare it to but it’s much smaller usually
A photograph of my hand holding a large roll of double sided tape

Please believe me when I say the roll was comically large compared to the standard roll we get #comic
A 4 panel comic of me and my dad as frogs. I ask him “dad where is the double sided tape?” And he responds by handing me the box “there’s more in this box”. I open the box and it’s this comically large roll. I ask “did you get a big enough roll?” To which he responds “I debated this in the shop”

My dad will drop absolute banger jokes and theyr absolutely wasted on me because it genuinely takes me 5-10 minutes to process them #comic
A three panel comic of me and my dad depicted as frogs having a conversation, he is wearing a headtorch. My dad: Okay, I’ll be a 18th Century Composer Me not taking notice: Sure, see you later It takes me 10 minutes to acknowledge what he said Me: Oh, that was a good one actually

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that I can no longer draw any more frogs because this is my best one. I peaked and there is no point going any further /j #art

Haven’t voted yet? You still have time to make Beans proud! If you’ve done it already she is very proud of you 🐸👍

Good morning any and all Ireland peeps! Please go out and vote today, if you don’t me and Beans will be very disappointed and also you won’t be allowed to complain about the country until the next general election.

My iPad is like a no man’s land for art where it’s usually not great OC drawings but every once and awhile one of them is a slay. Horrific crop but this one is definitely a slay #oc #art
A drawing of my OC Matt, a young man with light brown skin, amber eyes and dark brown hair. He is stepping forward, one hand on his hip and the other making a peace sign in front of his face. He is wearing a bright purple bomber jacket, high waist jeans with a utility belt and boots with pink purple knee length socks

Reposting a comic from last year of the time I significantly upped the ante of presents for my Dad because it’s still funny but also still not forgotten. I haven’t topped it since despite my best efforts #comic
A comic of me and my dad as frogs. I’m holding a bag and a card saying “happy Father’s Day Dad, I got you a single wine gum & a scratch card”. He starts to scratch it and I say “It’d be so funny if you won something” and the scratch card reveals he has won €1000. We are both shocked beyond belief
