Stylized red wolf with many glowing eyes and pointy fur standing over blocky text that reads "Awoooo"

Baby's first graffiti piece!

AHHHH these are so cute!!! 😭💕

A bunch of cat-themed notions.

A cat-shaped pin cushion. It's an orange cat sitting on a grey cushion with rust-colored flowers on the corners.

Another cat-shaped pin cushion. There is a yellow colored cat sitting on a green pillow, which holds some pins.

The butterfly is part of the Linda Ford Wallace collection, which also has cat-themed notions. The last three photos show cat-shaped pin cushions.

Small brass butterfly.

The underside of the butterfly, which has little pockets to store sewing needle packets. The underside of the wings are decorated with two plates. One carries an inscription of the drapers company: "Copestake, Moore, Crampton & Co. - London." The other has a gilded head of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, art, trade, and war.

The butterfly can be folded up, like how a butterfly flaps its wings.

A close-up of the butterfly's wings.

Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum.

A brown, orange and black screenprint of a tortoiseshell cat.

Finished the Frida print! This is how it looks.

I need to print more on Thursday and Friday as I messed up too many. But I'm very happy with it.

It will be available in my shop later today.

A portrait of a determined coyote painted in abstracted streaks of red, white, and black, with accents of yellow magenta and green. Energetic patterns fill in the background, weaving in and out of the figure.

🔻 THE BEST IS YET TO COME 🔻
9" x 12" mixed media on panel

Despite all the reasons to despair, to fear, despite knowing there is surely anguish yet to come: I also know this to be true. I have not lived to see my best moments yet. There is triumph and beauty and love still hidden over the horizon.

Yup. My Journey fanart got flagged, and I actually got it appealed... but then it got flagged again! It was a miserable time and I'd hate to see it repeated.

Illugi Pétur Ágústsson þjóðhetja

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.

This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.

I just learned about Dear Fauna, a STOP MOTION, FELT animation about pleistocene.
It releases in just a couple days. Let's show it some love!

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

What the hell!! Clearly that other person DIDN'T get that job because at minimum they don't know how to act courteous and professional, why are people like this

recognizing a lot of social expectations are actually labor issues can be pretty grounding/freeing

Models? it's their job to be professionally pretty.

Actors/performers? it's their job to be professionally entertaining.

Artists/creatives? It's their job to be professionally imaginative.

Small simple wooden carving painted to look like a sleeping Finnish Spitz dog

I also made this little carving of a Finnish Spitz! I donated it to an art event were multiple small carvings were made into magnets and put out around the city, so I don't know where it ended up.

Love the texture!

The eternal inner struggle of trying to find the "perfect" medium. The only thing that isn't in question is what to draw - it's always going to be my greyhound. Testing charcoal, refining, learning, exploring and wondering why sighthounds have so many legs yet none of them fit right.

Couldn't be as active with art fight this year as I'd hoped, but I got some absolutely lovely attacks and my heart is so full ;;w;;

Digital lineless drawing of a stylized Swedish Vallhund puppy taking baby steps. She has big ears, stubby legs, fluffy fur and a bob tail.

Art fight attack for Waittiz!

Digital lineless drawing of a stylized pony character with bat wings and long, flowy mane and tail. She is facing away from the viewer and looking up, mid-prance.

Hello mom, I'm on 404 Media!
I talked to Emanuel about my "AI engorgement" experiment for this article! Give it a read, it does a great job highlighting just how bad Google's AI is!

signed, someone who has only drawn animals for a while and now the gorgeous model whose likeness I'm trying to capture looks like Quasimodo because I can't construct a human face anymore 😭

art is language in many ways, and one of those ways is that if you won't upkeep the skills, you're gonna forget how to do it

I'm too tired and overwhelmed to properly comment on the censorship and repression conservative busybodies have pressured payment processors to enforce, except to say that I've seen many incidents of censorship caused by moral panics in my lifetime and they've always fizzled out and been rescinded.
