It’s that point in time before a big convention that I am 100% overthinking everything.

I’ll be there! Booth 1478

I highly recommend Brass Taxes. It’s a company that works specifically with artists and freelancers so they know exactly how we run our businesses and what makes us different for tax purposes. Total stress saver for me!

*Snort laugh* SPINELESS!

I have vended at NYCC for the last few years and my experience is that every day when it gets busy the service will drop for a few hours (at least). There are zones that are ok but some that you won’t have service at all. I paid for the WiFi this year.

Unless one has the means that allow for certain possibilities, very often, the urgency of making a living robs the artist of the time required to make masterworks.

I already said I’m voting for him

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

Did not work for me in NY. Just tried to schedule and got a pop up that due to state regulations I was not eligible (even though I legit have a condition on the list)

The fact that everyone knows exactly what this song is about is wild.

Finally got around to framing this lovely piece by @dianateeterart.bsky.social, from NY Comic Con a couple-few years ago. How sweet are these two NYC icons? I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it #art

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

To nobody's surprise, beating yourself up does not, in fact, cure burnout. Doesn't stop me from doing a surprised Pikachu face when I catch myself doing it tho

Block anyone who implies it’s crass to try to sell art bc of “Everything Going On.” Motherfuckers there is going to be a LOT going on FOREVER, and artists sell art AS THEIR JOB. Do you go to fuckin McDonalds and scream at the staff “HOW COULD YOU BE MAKING FRENCH FRIES AT A TIME LIKE THIS??” Grow up

A photo of a little green bug plush with round legs, big red eyes with large pupils, and large leaf veined wings. It is on a tree stump.

There’s 10 days left to preorder/pledge for a little green bug plushie! And, we’re 80% funded! 🌿

Reshares are immensely appreciated so we can get this guy funded! We’re so close 💕💕

Likely all bots. I had a post go viral and was followed by thousands of them. Took me two days to block all of them ☹️

Was visited by baby aliens at the banding station today 👽👽👽

Hello artist. Look at me. Hold my hands. I want you to succeed so badly. I am manifesting this for you.

Even though the Golden Ratio is mathematical beauty, doesn't mean your back needs to be shaped as such. Straighten up!

I know the law

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.

Thank you for the story time, I also battle my anxiety especially in public. At conventions I look chill on the outside but inside I’m usually pure chaos!

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Painting of a rat and a pigeon standing together on a dark background. They are each holding a lit match that is making a glow around their faces. In the foreground there are two books of matches. One open and the other closed with a pizza logo on the cover.

This month’s Lightbringer is raising money for Wild Bird Fund! This painting is a continuation of the NYC Pizza Date series. dianateeterart.bigcartel.com/product/limi...

Trying to get back into it because the art community seems very genuine over here but it’s hard to not feel discouraged.

Took me hours of work to block all of them and it left me with an artificially inflated follower count. Also left me feeling like I was posting into the void.
