Painted small statue of an old man with a long white beard. He wears a blue coat and blue hat.

Trying pottery. Originally, I wanted to make this little lighthouse keeper into a wind chime, but he's far too heavy 🥲. I'm thinking of turning him into an incense holder instead. #pottery

This is like when my birb told me it hated Spirited Away. Idk where I went wrong.

Also, I spent all this time working on coloring only to then at the end change it to monochrome for funsies...only to maybe like it better this way? Idk 😭🥲🫠 #art #comics #ocs

Drawing of two men. One sits in the foreground reading a book on a sofa while the other stands behind him hand on hip, apparently in mid conversation.

Whichever scientists discovered that art reduces stress, never watched me crash out over drawing hands. #art #comics #ocs

Digital artwork of a young adult character with short blue hair. The drawing features a variety of expressions from shock, anger, tiredness, etc.

Haven't had the chance to draw for a bit. But the world's absolutely awful, so I'm coping by practicing different coloring techniques and expressions. #comics #art #ocs

I was just swarmed with a bunch of bot accounts suddenly trying to follow me. I blocked them all, but still, ugh.

Digital drawing. Character in the foreground is pictured from the chest up in a sleeveless shirt. They look off concerned. From the shadows behind them, two disembodied hands emerge, along with four eyes and four large deer antlers.

Reposting because I want to give this its own post. 🤷‍♂️ It's springtime, so obviously the perfect time for spooky drawings. #art #comics #OC

Where it ended up! I really struggled with what I wanted this piece to be but I’m pretty happy with the result (for now). #art #comics

Side by side comparison of two identical drawings. The first, on the left, is drawn in pen on paper. The second, on the right, is drawn digitally in blue tones. Both drawings feature a young adult character with messy short hair looking off to the side.

Please, did we not learn this lesson already with covid? That schools and teachers are imperative to both community and individual wellness? I don't want greasy billionares who haven't been within a classroom in the last 20 years to even breathe in the direction of our teachers.

Lmao, I thought you knew. There are very few details, apparently, but it's defo happening

Digital fanart drawing of Ted Lasso and Trent Crimm from the show Ted Lasso standing side by side.

Apparently, Ted Lasso S4 was just confirmed, so this seems like a good time to publicly admit that I'm still sad they never let these old men kiss.

A drawing of a young adult floating half submerged in a lake. Lily pads surround them, and their eyes are closed. A white lotus flower rests over their mouth.

I've been listening to Lucy Dacus on repeat while I draw, and the lyrics "You were looking for saints, but you only found people" kept coming back to me for this one. 🤷‍♂️

Our coup got coupier. Our authoritarianism got more authoritarian. And of course this is stupidity as a battering ram against what is legal and constitutional, because they weaponize stupidity.

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT.
Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist.
Take breaks,
Take a breath,
Be intentional with how you spend your time.
Be effective with how you spend your energy.
Support each other
Rest, live, & fight another day.
