A digital manga page featuring a room with a shiny tiled floor that looks out onto a fiery alien city. A horned woman's silhouette fills the bottom page and the text bubbles read as follows... "Dr. Bedlam wanted to see me." "Ah, same." "I don't even remember coming inside. Strange."

A digital manga drawing a wide eyed girl with long grey hair. She has silver skin, red eyes, and silver horns. She is enveloped in a rainbow aura and stands among a field of lava. She is unharmed.

I love these colors and composition so much. I have some blank books like this that I plan on using as soon as I can go outside and travel again, and your work just reaffirms that desire. This is the post that got my follow. Keep it up!

A famous mouse but his face is the matrix of collagen and hydroxyapatite that lies underneath the outer face sheet. He has glowing red orb sockets and gloves with tips that are orangish-red. Could be anything. Who knows? He is framed inside of a circle like he is looking at you through a steamboat window perhaps. He gazes at you in a way that demands you be indirect with your words or else things might get messy. The colors are mostly yellows, reds, oranges and black. Everything is very painterly.

He’s watching what you post. Better not use uncomfy words or he’ll make sure no one sees that you exist. I guess that last post didn’t vibe with the clankers and robo-nannies. I keep forgetting that being human isn’t cool anymore. Ope. #digitalillustration #art

An illustration of skulls and spines and organic symmetrical shapes. Symmetrical patterns, geometric and organic, are things I am unapologetically going to keep producing. This is in eighths. The organic shapes are full of sharp, needle like lines that represent nerves and inflammation. Tendrils go from one skull’s eye socket to an adjacent skull’s socket. This represents the anxiety and intrusive thoughts I have with my left eye always feeling like it is being pulled to sharp furniture corners at my bedside. I don’t know what it is all about. It happens the longer I am in bed. I have to shake my head and cover my eye to reset. This probably won’t make sense to anyone who hasn’t experienced it. The dudes flowing from the center represent the writhing and at the center is a precise locus of pain that spasms emanate from. The spines are spines. It was hard enough trying not to focus on the pain while I drew, ok? 🥲 My health insurance went up $160 more a month on top of $200 a month I have to put back in my retirement for the next year so I could even afford this. I didn’t have enough for the out of pocket, so what I have is enough to allow the procedure to continue, but I will still need to work out the rest. Life is about to get even harder but hopefully it’ll be easier to continue working. My company has been very accommodating. We work with providing mobility devices for the disabled, so people do understand my struggle. If it wasn’t for my benefits team helping me out this last month, I would have decided to go on a business trip with Jesus. They put my timeline together and advocated for me and had the denials overturned. Whatever happens after this, I will just have to take a day at a time.

My back procedure was approved. I’m getting Intracept. The current suffering is unreal but soon it will be lessened, or if fate smiles upon me, gone. 4 years of creeping pain and 1 year of hell. I made this to illustrate that suffering. Now I’m deeper in debt, but I’ll have my back again.

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it.

So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

Red tinted paper with red, gold, blue and brown ink. A sketch of a long haired androgynous person with some goat like features. No further explanation so that you can interpret how you will.

I don’t know if there will ever be a point in me making polished work again. Why spend the time? It’ll just get glossed over because people will assume it’s clanker spew. Capturing emotion is harder and more interesting anyhow.

Hahaha yuuussssss 😂 🧑‍🍳💋

When I pass away, I will come back as this spectral ratdog and sit on the chests of health insurance CEOs and stare at them nightly like this until daybreak. I will grant them immortality but deny healing. Every injury and pain they suffer shall compound exponentially. Eternally. #procreateart

Well, I already blew my inheritance from my grandma on trying to fix this, and my extended family DGAF about me, so I really am very much alone in this financially. All I can do is keep fighting and see where life takes me.

I can't. The pain is too much. I would need to be stretched out and sedated. I'm barely able to make the 6 minute drive to work

I'm going to end the woe is me rant here for now. I just want to put it out there that this suffering is needless and could have been prevented but we live in healthcare hell. They are acting in bad faith. My joy is gone. I carry on reflexively. I merely exist and nothing more. (10 of 10)

My back would not make it travelling. Especially attempting to seek help outside the states. I'm stuck. I went from occasional cane use in March to always needing one. It can sometimes take a full minute to get one foot up the curb and follow with the other (9 of _ )

I'm screaming into the void, I know. Who am I, right? I'm nobody. If anything, I hope that someone sees this and is inspired or able to make changes in our healthcare system so others don't suffer the way I am right now. I don't have money or options despite my 9 to 5. (8 of _ )

I'm 45. It's entirely possible to live past 80 and to have a full life, but that's being withheld from me. I could adapt to partial paralysis, but I can't do that on top of the stabbing excruciating pain. I can't use half the stuff in my room because I can't access it easily anymore (7 of _ )

This could be fixed right now. The insurance merely has to say yes. They don't think it is necessary. I use all my mental resources fighting this and I'm losing. I would not last one night on the streets in this condition. If a spasm and fall doesn't end me, my hopelessness possibly will. (6 of _ )

Trying to save FMLA for actual recovery. I want to live. I want a reduction in pain. My life is bed because I spend all my strength working then come home and try to rest. Everything feels pointless. This isn't living. It's my body as a prison of pain (5 of _ )

The pain and back spasms/pinching are there regardless of position now. WFH would not help. I haven't applied for disability because it takes time and this should have been fixed with surgery. If I even get approved it will cost more because they pushed it to the next year. (4 of _ )

Work has given me use of a power chair while in the office. My only saving grace that allows me to make my full wage, but I'm not doing the things I was hired to do. Now it's more admin stuff. This was supposed to be temporary until I got a procedure. It can't go forever (3 of _ )

Weight loss has not made it better. Going down stairs takes 15 minutes. My spine is bone on bone. The pain is excruciating. My social life is gone. My will to do anything is mostly gone as well. Art is hard because I am overwhelmed with anxiety about the future. The pain is never below an 8 (2 of _)

Lost 40+lbs since March and all PT has made my mobility worse. Two MRIs in a months span this summer show the L5 S1 going from a bulge to gone. ABCBS of Tennessee denied all appeals. Grievance hearing not until Dec. It takes 10 minutes to get out of bed from pain. Pain pills do not help. (1 of _ )

Try this instead. Sorry

Giffing

It's not gifting?

I am currently dealing with a bad lumbar and heading towards possible permanent paralysis. Insurance/bwc is a nightmare. Lost the will to do most anything. The pain is enormous. I have mustered the will to make my first animation and pixel art. Harder than I thought. Meant to post this weeks ago.

A symmetrical illustration of an inter dimensional being. A small green alien at the bottom, arms opened wide, and enveloped in the creature as if it is the pilot. There are root like growths extending out the lower body that end in hand like growths. The creature has 8 tentacles and two of them are holding big slicey bois. The creature has a long neck with a feminine head. It has a toothy smile with some teeth missing. It has five eyes. Three on the head and two more; each attached to an antenna. It is blueish green. The eyes are yellow and red. It has orange flowing hair. On the top of its head is an ornamental growth in the shape of a heart wearing a crown. The creature looks like your mom. #artistsupport #artsupport #art #surreal #digitalart #digitalillustration #tentacles

This took a couple weeks because everything is so wtf right now.

We had the contract from 2012 to 2019 when the company, general theming contractors (later artists with machines) was shut down for federal tax fraud. I still have all of the original files timestamped. None of the beaver signs were changed until beaver Utah became viral on Reddit

We started the laser department with one laser in December of 2012. Ish. We won the bid around that time to produce all of their signs for the rebrand. I am aware that there were some prototyping stores using a foamcore with a brushed vinyl. We used a specific acrylic that was a pain to cut (1/of2)

We also had to change that one.

And they're like "haaaay uuuuu guuuuuuuys"

I can't rhyme

I think I am the first based on Google search to use "Goonin' Credit Union"
