Hi! Go to your library and check out a free book! Maybe a comic! Read more! It's good for your brain. 15 minutes a day can build a practice!

there is no reward for being a good artist except making the art. hell. for some artist thats not much bc they have bad depression. Art is like transitioning. it wont make you happy but it is inevitable. it wont make you happy but not doing it will kill you

Cat squares step 1: sketch ✏️

[ #cuteart #illustration ]
A digital sketch of four cats squeezed into square shapes, arranged in a grid. The cats all slightly break out of their squares and have various cheeky expressions. The sketch was made with a realistic pencil brush. The Clip Studio Paint logo is in the bottom corner of the artwork.

i think you should just not include restrictive or disordered eating in your story if you're not willing to do the work to address it tbh

Don't have new art atm, but I'll repost some old papercraft illustrations for #invertefest

Fried Egg Jellyfish 🖌️🐠
4 fried egg jellyfish made of paper swim on a painted paper background. The jellyfish show different amounts of detail and are at different proximities to the viewer. Their tops look like fried eggs, while their tentacles are white, purple, and orange. the background has blue paper to show light breaking through a green and purple sponge-painted background.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.
SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

deadlands reef fishes and what not. whilst most of this project's aesthetic isnt that colorful, i like to think in places such as most tropical seas there's a pop of color here and there.
