Oh hey, it's #PortfolioDay!

I'm an artist in Colorado, and just getting seriously back into art after two decades away from it.

My primary focus is watercolor and colored pencils, though I have dabbled in digital art as well.

Watch my process & hear a story I wrote: www.youtube.com/@CozyKathryn
A mixed media piece using watercolor, ink, and colored pencils, depicting a skeletal hand grasping a bouquet of red roses. The skeletal hand is wearing a gold wedding band. A folk art style colored pencil illustration of a raven and a black dog with three red eyes in a circular motif of green vines, red flowers, and the moon phases An art nouveau digital illustration of a red headed bearded man weilding a sword and a shield embossed with a wolf symbol. Text under it reads The Broken Dragon, Kathryn Reynolds, Book 3 of The Fae Realm Series An art nouveau digital illustration of a blond woman wearing a black dress with a raven on her shoulder and a black wolf with red eyes lurking at her side. She is holding a sword balanced impossibly between her hands, and the background is a maze of golden tree branches on a dark blue background. The text reads The Blessing of Equinox, Kathryn Reynolds, Book 1 of The Fae Realm Series

HOW TO CONTACT WHAT TO DO Card MASTERCARD + VISA Visa and Mastercard have long histories with pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, they have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards. MASTERCARD (US) +1 (800)-307-7309 phone tree nav: 1-1-2-2-2-1 (INTL) +1 (636)-722-7111 VISA (US + CAN) +1 (800)-847-2911 phone tree nav: 1-1-5. mash account #. Your goal is mostly to waste their time and therefore their money. Pose as a confused customer "just asking for clarification" about things relating to the Itch/Steam censorship controversy. Paypro PAYPAL + STRIPE Paypal and Stripe have their own histories with action against adult content. Like the credit card companies, they have both pressured Steam and Itch.io, with Itch calling out Stripe as a priority target, and Steam no longer being able to process certain currencies using Paypal. PAYPAL (US + CAN) 1-(402)-935-2050 (AUS) 1800 931 678 (GER) +49 69 945189975 STRIPE (Ireland HQ) 353 1 903 8449 (Cust.

CITIBANK Bank + BARCLAYS + WELLS FARGO Both Paypal and Stripe have indicated that their banking partners have also been a source of ant- Adult Content pressure. While there are MANY banks associated with paypros, these 3 are prime initial targets.

You can walk into any grocery store and loudly proclaim that the condiments aisle is henceforth called "Food Lubrication Lane."

No one can stop you.

Just a PSA

It feels like common sense but please don’t send your manuscript to anyone without properly vetting them.

It is exciting when someone seems interested in reading, but there are a lot of bad actors on the internet, & I’ve seen a few sus around interactions lately.

Called today, the rep listened until I confirmed it was a complaint re: censorship and then went into a monotone script read and disconnected the call.

It's tough to maintain pressure on a company over time, but in order to win just once about anything in this decade, we have to not give up.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!
