comparing yourself to other creative people can be helpful. Finding motivation/inspiration. But don't put yourself down because you're not someone else. It's not fair to you, bro. You can achieve your own version of success. Just do your thing. Keep swinging that axe. You're doing great.

A drawing of Muk, everyone’s favorite pokemon. It’s seeping out of some toxic waste barrels.

Aaaah this is so stunning Chloé!! Gorgeous work

fanart of Samus, from the Metroid games she's wearing her signature power suit/armor, only her helmet's off, she's holding it in her left hand she's standing in a dark wire-filled place, with only a vertical ray of green light falling on her fierce-looking face, like a door's opening on the outside, off screen

a whole new world to explore

A drawing of a colorful snow leopard looking up at an aurora. The caption reads, "Please be patient with your anxious mind; it's trying to keep you safe."

Maybe it's making things worse, but at least it's trying.

Okay I have one more.

It rocks to tell people their shit rocks. Every single person who has ever been nice about my work has been appreciated for doing so. I take time to say I love stuff and it’s always the right time to remind somebody you value their work! You don’t need to get into detail either. Just say it rocks

Collage showing all 11 phone wallpapers I drew this year. January: a bunny enjoying a firework show. February: a tiny bunny reading in a nook left behind by a slice of cake. March: three fluffy sparrows sitting in the branches of a cherry blossom tree. April: a frog playing violin under a hydrangea bush in the rain. May: a bunny sitting happily among many houseplants. June: three tiny bunnies hanging onto a ripening tomato vine. July: a giant bunny sitting quietly among some hills overlooking the sea. September: three tiny bunnies hanging onto a pomegranate branch. October: three curious ghosts observing a calico cat sleeping in a graveyard. November: a tiny bunny reading in their little apple house as rain drizzles outside. December: a lone bunny trudging through a wintry landscape and looking at shooting stars.

Another year of wallpapers completed! I can't belive I've been making these for 3+ years already 🥹

"Insomnia"

I drew plants I pass on my evening walks home from work, in my little neighborhood. I wanted something quiet and dark for this, because sometimes we're just quiet, and dark.

A six-panel comic titled "Wildlife Tracking Tips". In panel 1, the text says "A white-tailed deer traveled through here," and there are white-tailed deer prints in fresh snow. In panel 2, the text says "An American Red Squirrel came by," and the leap marks of a red squirrel are in the snow. In panel 3, the text says "A Snowshoe Hare passed through," and there are the distinctive fluffy-footed marks from a snowshoe hare jumping across the snow. n panel 4, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare found a sword," and one of the front paw marks in the track has been replaced with a long thin line running alongside the track. In panel 5, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare is dual wielding," and both front paw marks have been replaced with long thin lines. In panel 6, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare tamed a mount, vastly increasing its jumping distance. You should run," and the Snowshoe Hare trail runs into a deer track and disappears.

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

A pencil drawing of a woman reclining in bed, but her hands look kind of fucked up, and her face has been scribbled out, apparently in frustration by the artist

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

Creatives: It's been a rough day and nothing can fix it.

Someone: I like that thing you created.

Creatives: [happily sobbing, weeping, wailing even]

Leave little Saruman alone.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

A drawing of colorful bats hanging in a glowing cave. The caption reads, "Today's a good day to really look after yourself."

Painting of a young girl wading through the water of a pond, we mostly focus on her reflection which shows her looking over her shoulder determinedly. She has an archery bow slung over her back and is holding an arrow. In the reflection we can see that cabins in a forest are a-blaze

Who has some extra snuggles in store? ✨
