Hi, I'll be vending at the Fleetville Community Centre Christmas craft fair this year, again! It'd be nice if you could pop by and say hello if you're able to!

I made some Procreate brushes for an art nouveau style piece I did, and I wanted to share them here!

I'm really proud of how this commission turned out, and thankfully the person who received this piece, adored it!

I've been working on taking product photos for Etsy, starting with this glittery green gnome phone charm and despite not being good enough for it, I've fallen in love with this photo and decided to post it here!

Friendly reminder that this exists! You can have a whole feed dedicated to your art and you can send it as a direct link to your friends and potential clients. 😎

And you can set up a feed for other purposes, like fandoms and hobbies!
▶️ Creating an Art Feed + Advanced Tips!

This #tutorial is based on SkyFeed v0.10.0 and is for artists setting up personalized Art Feeds on BlueSky. I used this guide as a basis (kai-blueskytips.carrd.co#one) and added some additional tips! All images have alt text for full context.

Happy St Patrick's Day! Might I offer you cute clovers, dinosaurs, and rainbows for cozy coloring time?

Support indie autistic artists and human made art for good luck! (b/c fk those A/I coloring books, they exist and make me so infuriated)

For #JanuArty today, texture! Don't usually work in a realistic style but I was pleased with the textures I was able to achieve in this one as a challenge. #art

2025 Art Bingo Card!

I wanted to tease some of my art plans, as well as provide incentives for me to continue pushing forward with my art~ (I am highly little treat motivated if you didn't know 👀🍦🍵)

Let me know if there's any bingo spot you're most looking forward to, or if you make your own!! 💙

Art Vs. Artist

It's been an exciting year for me art wise, as I finally had the courage to start selling my work! I've made many new fellow artist/small business friends!

I can't wait to see what this new year brings and how my small business will grow!

I attended the Mill Green Midwinter Magic event yesterday! Met loads of other lovely stall holders and had some wonderful chats with both them and the visitors to the event!

If anyone wants to understand why small businesses like me are struggling with #GPSR #gpsr, here's a small snapshot of a list of questions I'm trying to get resolved.

Oh, there's a €20,000 fine for non-compliance, so that's cool.

I know that Gray Catbirds are extremely common for my East Coast friends, but we don't get them on the West Coast and I think they're nifty birds. It was especially nifty to get this as my Costa Rican lifer this morning at @tapirvalley.bsky.social
