I had my sketchbook printed for the year, and it printed all red and dark... The way I was so gutted... Thankfully the company came through and got a reprint made and FINALLY I have my '25/'25 sketchbook 🩷

You can really see how messed up the first print was (left) in comparison to the new (right)

Another from the subreddit drawme. They requested something creepy so here we are haha #painting #art #artist #digitalart #portrait #procreate

Digital portrait painting of a woman with ghostly white eyes and black veins creeping throughout her skin. The whole painting has dark and creepy horror vibes, with an almost black background

I definitely read this as "what doesn't MILK you" and I can't tell what that means for me as a human being

So I'm a big ass swiftie right. I went to the eras tour last year. I was thoroughly buzzing for this new album.

My guys. I fucking hate it.

It's so shallow and empty and vapid and juvenile and it's disappointingly just bad..

I hope on further listens I'll hate it less but damn....

If you can’t see Michael’s post here, maybe consider changing your adult content settings to “warn” instead of “hide,” to avoid fully hiding posts.

Bluesky’s moderation has been very trigger happy to claim artistic nudity is sexually explicit when it’s not. 🫠

BLUEBIRD (2001)
Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 12”

I don’t know where this came from. It started out being part of my Faded Star series, but after painting the sky and distressed architectural details, I felt more inclined to “inhabit” the foreground space... 1/3

At the edge of a decaying concrete tunnel, a woman with shoulder length blonde hair holds out her hand to release a bluebird. It spreads its wings wide taking flight into warm placid skies. The view out of her aerie is from behind. She squats with knees out, comfortably balanced, but noticeably her body is bare. Her clothes lie in a pile beneath her as the sun cuts across the opening of her makeshift sanctuary.
