A sunlit display of shuttle tatted jewelry in different colors of cotton thread. There's a row of lacy leaves, some cat paws with beaded claws, a row of hoops, and some intricate chokers.

Me and my tatting (and some prints) are at Irish Fest in Roswell today! This isn't my usual setup, so we'll see how it goes, haha. The weather is great and so is the music!

The next, like, 8 weeks are just terrible for my mental health every year.

An ink and watercolor sketch of West 55th Street in Manhattan

Sketches from around New York City

Holy moly, those are like children's book illustration level amanitas!

(Mine's a Canon Pixma i6820, which is probably overkill for what you need and def more expensive. But it goes up to 13x19 and has been really reliable for yeeears, so maybe there's something for you in that line?)

Dang, sorry, can't help this time!

::checks on my printer, which I adore:: How affordable are we talking?

I'm up in Woodstock, feeling a little salty about our results, but that is really encouraging!

Daaaaaang 87 votes? That's really significant and gives me some local hope.

Okay, the colors in this strobe so hard against each other that my brain is viewing each section in a separate plane, like, there's a depth effect going on here. This is wild. I can't stop looking at it. (The composition is also cool.)

Right? There's the academic idea of a body, and then there's the unique shape of this specific butt in this specific position. Wonderful.

Also, wonderful work. I really enjoy your figure drawings.

I LOVE ART SO MUCH. I LOVE CREATING IT. I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE CREATE. I LOVE THE VISION. THE EMOTION. I LOVE HOW MUCH HEART WENT INTO EVERYTHING WE MAKE AS HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Yeah, that's really fucking weird and gross.

Original autumn landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Golden Lights Marsh" 5"x5" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2025). Textured autumn landscape featuring a large golden orange maple tree surrounded by other fall foliage, with a bright blue sky that has cloud formations that are pink or lavender depending on the lighting. Colors from the sky and the trees are reflecting in marsh waters.

I'm completely smitten with the maple trees in my neighborhood this week! All the colors are popping!

Saw something that @realgdt.bsky.social said the other day, and remembered I had something I started a while ago that I should finish up.

I'm so tired of all this.

If you didn't know this existed, there's actually 1 more place that Bluesky has labels coming out of, and that's here, which we're ALL registered to by default and can't opt out of, but it's not CLEAR where these settings are until you find them: bsky.app/profile/mode...

Quite a few new ones, sheesh.

going to put forth one of my most die-hard takes again: there is no content that is inappropriate for any age group. it's all in the way you present it and discuss it with them. the content itself is the world they live in and you're not helping them by pretending their world is better than it is

A sketch done with a rainbow pencil of a cute fat cat laying down and doodling. Around the cat are stars, squiggles, and other doodles, as well as the words: “why would I use AI when I can just not.”

I’m tried of this grandpa

There's something about the way seated butts scrunch that's just delightful to draw. Every one is different and every one is fun.

May I offer you an eel in these trying times? #ocean #art #eel

Maaaaan, I wish the trees did this for longer than a week where I live. (We get mild winters, and one of the trade-offs is visually very dull autumns.)

Yaaaaaay! It's cooooomingggg!

OMG I feel this to my core

Photo shows a sketchbook painting sitting on a wooden desk, surrounded by painting supplies such as paint tubes, brushes and a palette. The page shows paintings of pumpkins and gourds sitting in grass, and the color of the artwork is primary orange and green.

Pumpkin studies page!🧡✨ Gouache and a little bit of colored pencil in this one

Even shopping around, my premiums had gone up 550% in the 4 years before ACA. I cried when I could suddenly sort of afford a plan again.

Oh, please keep it, it's PERFECT!
