Summer fun with Oneka ☀️🤩

drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

A close up stock photo of a yellow rose that's slightly closed up and faded and dried due to age.

I had held on to a bouquet my mom bought me as a birthday gift (years ago). Took pictures when I just got it, and also after it had begun to dry and wilt. I thought it'd be neat for gothic or dark styled artworks. :)

A stock photo close up of rock with azurite, a blue copper mineral covering the front-face of the rock.

Azurite may not be a gemstone, but it is still a beautiful mineral. The more you look, the more colors you see. 🌈

✨I have a free tutorial on how to draw this here: ko-fi.com/s/d35e879d7c

A photo of an iguana resting on a wooden shelf in an enclosure, where it's body is splooshed flat and both its arms are hanging limp off the edges of the wood. Its eyes are half closed and it looks either very sleepy or very done with the world.

Mood.

Samurai Exhibit pics

Hey #comic and #artist friends, I've been on vacation this week and part of that was me going to a local samurai exhibit. I took over 200 pics. I'll upload some here for you folks. I am not a pro photographer, but my new camera was doing most of the work so these should be reasonably useful.

The hype is real! Can't wait :D

Majority grey image with four different pose pack images on them. Text over top reads "resources for August AdiPOSE!" plus packs "Lauren Ashley Sitting Pack ($5+), Rowena 2 Pack ($6+), Maya Kern Skirt Collab Pack 1 ($0+), Lauren Ashley Weapons Pack ($5+)" and the url ko-fi.com/adorkastock

It's #AugustAdiPOSE, coined by @kivanbay.bsky.social where we put an emphasis on fat bodies and fat representation. To celebrate, you're going to see a whole lotta fat refs this month. Here's some resources I already have for your drawings! www.adorkastock.com/august-adipo...

This page has a big button for you to email 20+ customer service departments at once with an (editable, if you like) prewritten letter. You can even do it from your phone! There's zero reason to not be participating in the pushback on this.

I keep hearing about artists who are not responding to their clients. I'm sorry, if you can't keep up a reasonable amount of communication you should not be taking commissions. You also shouldn't assume everyone is on whatever socmed you use and contact clients directly.

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!!

New poses!✏️

They embarrassed themselves so hard the first time, they wanted to do it again. 🙄 Touch grass my dude, legit. Maybe then you'd hate yourself a little less.

I love the random and precarious ways that we get our photos sometimes x'D

Okay let's do this! This one's for the website! ✨

Here's what I'm looking for. Reply with your art, & the Adorkastock pose ref you used. I can't use all of them but I will be picking some to put on the home page & a dedicated page on the website, so please also give me a link for your credits too!

"I don't think of x or do y, so why would there be people who exist who do think x or do y?"

Some deep critical thinking skills on display.

I'll do my best to keep working on this as much as I can before our big move! And as always, I'll be sharing more stock here when I can :) <3

Literally spent as much time as I could today adding to the shop! It was an entirely selfish thing of me asking y'all to help me out just so I don't have all my eggs in one basket, and y'all were so beyond kind in sharing and supporting me. I seriously appreciate it! 🥺🙏

if your use of paypal is primarily as a customer or otherwise are NOT somebody that makes a living off adult work, you are the best people to pressure paypal! there is a risk of retaliation for adult creators, but if you don't have that risk, please call!

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves.

CALL THEM

I'll be spending as much time as I can today filling up my shop with goodies. I don't deserve y'all, thank you so much <333

Ahhhh I'm verified on #VgenShop! ;o; Oh wow, that was so fast, I am just awestruck. Y'all are absolutely amazing, thank you all so much! I'm so touched. Thank you <333

Y'all are being incredible omg. ANOTHER very kind shopper (who also tipped AND left a super sweet review!). Blown away! Just need one more shopper and I'll be verified wow 😳

Imagine if they got phone calls too. From my experience, you can also request that email correspondence gets a reply. Just saying :) Hit them on all three fronts: letters, calls, email. And town halls if/when you can!
