I shouldn't try and hype things while half asleep.

Hey #portfolioday can you help me? I need to get the original post here to 100 +likes so I can be considered for the art platform Vgen to manage my commissions. Help a friend out?

A tricolor heron stands in the shallows at sunset, a wing extended to shade the water while he hunts for his dinner. He has one leg up in the traditional 'water bird' stance. His feathers are blue, fading to purples and greys, with bright flashes of yellow underneath.

A black lab stares at the viewer, she has a blue collar on and deep, soulful brown eyes. Her name is Millie and I got to meet her when I delivered this commission. It was very good.

A big ol' crow, with shades of blue and purple irridescence in his feathers. He's landed on a tree with little small sprigs of leaves coming off of it. This was a gift to my Brother and Sister-In-Law, at the birth of my niece, who's middle name is Morrigan.

Explain your username:

It is Mäofrräo for "The complexities of the associations of group of groups", a.k.a. the name for "The Great Alliance"

ʔin = "a group of groups"
ma = "association"
ra = "complexity"

As a massive polyplex and generational plural system, we are an allied group of groups.

18x24in, wip. #tiger, in color pencil.

This is taking me so long, if they find me dead with a pencil still clutched in one hand, laying next to this drawing then know for sure that this is what did me in.

The pain persists but so do I.

Jane Goodall was an early hero of mine, and certainly played a part in my love of animals through her work with chimps.

RIP, Legend. I will always regret never getting to meet you in person, but I treasure that I got to exist at the same time that you did. #JaneGoodall #Rip

It would appear that I have leveled up, now instead of NFT scam emails, I'm getting scam emails from galleries that are all pay-to-play. Nah, pass.

Either you pay a very low rent + % commission, or just a flat, higher % commission. Anything else is a total s c a m.

So in light of so many states fast-tracking various UK-style "you must be an adult to use DMs" laws which are all being fought in court, remember that BlueSky is a federated, distributed platform internally.

They're trying to raise $300 just to get her to the vet as they are completely out of money. She will be going to Hudson Animal Hospital.
