I create #fantasyart illustrations in pen or #coloredpencil. A lot of my work revolves around #mentalhealth and #chronicillness. I also do #collage, especially collaging my older work into something new. I dabble in creative essays and #zines, too!
"Like Clockwork" by Andreana Rosnik, an illustration in colored pencil. It consists of a circular framed image of an old-fashioned chemistry laboratory, where there are mysterious bubbling green and yellow liquids on the lab bench, a distillation apparatus, jars, etc. To the right one can see a fume hood in the background. In the middle is a shelf full of strange substances in jars. In the foreground if the circular frame is a human skull with disembodied eyes staring back at it. Unraveling from the skull is an orange peel covered in markings, with muscle tissue underneath the peel. The peel extends to the rest of the image. On the outer portion of the peel are musical notes, a Bible verse, binary, the time-dependent Schrodinger equation, an idyllic scene...Above the circular frame to the left are some phases of the moon, and to the right different times on clocks. Below the circular frame are arms and orange trees: the arm on the left is a mechanical arm pointing its index finger up, and to the right is a human skeletal arm with outstretched fingers splayed down. In between the two arms are orange trees. "Note to self", collage, 2024 by Andreana Rosnik. In the center hovering over a monstrous face is the quote "If you beat yourself up too much, you won't enjoy what you have left". The body extending from the quote is skeletal, with one hand on a curly-haired person with their back to us but facing the monster, and the other hand wagging a finger. Below the person is a plant with eyes and theater masks. In the background is a disembodied arm holding a sword; this is upside down and to the left of the central skeletal figure. In the bottom right is a knight on a horse and an eyeless parrot. A pile of zines entitled "Pieces from the end of the matchbox", whose cover is a burnt match composed of collaged paper calendars and abstracted shapes. A white sheep with green eyes and rainbow wooly fur. It is wearing a green hat, and it has two stud earrings on each ear. Inside the fur around the neck are buttons that look like enamel pins: a rainbow, an X inside a circle, an Erlenmeyer flask with purple liquid, and a white rabbit. The background is swirls of pale pink and yellow.

Here's one of my pieces that will be on the walls of NoNo Tattoo Collective starting this weekend! It's been several years since this one has been anywhere publicly, so I'm curious to see how people react to it.

Not to turn posts into therapy, but I unearthed this tiny drawing I made 2 years ago. It sums up all I'm ready to say about how it feels to not be seen for who you are, to have a major part of you rejected, by the people who allegedly love you no matter what.

It's true, it's so fucking true. The first thing outta the holster when these jokers try to square up is how looooong their little prompt took them to write.

Like a 12-year-old on DeviantArt. This drawing took me THREE DAYS, so you better comment!

AI art guys try to sell the tech as a great time-saver/labor-equalizer but also insist it requires LOTS of skill and work. It’s a funny negotiation that gets to the emptiness in how some people see art. Hyper outcome-focused but unsure of how to measure that artistic outcome except by time invested.

Excellent article, goes with my constant drumbeat of supporting libraries, indie bookstores, small presses, self-published authors, little free libraries... all the literary ecosystem that's under attack and needs to be defended.

Corporate conglomerate publishing will not save us.
We must save us.

It's absolutely WILD how routinely self-avowed superfans of hard science and modern technology IMMEDIATELY default to magical thinking, and don't consider that a red flag at all.

It has been clear for the entire fucking eternity since Trump was re-elected that the people were out ahead of the elites on how to react, how to resist, how to fight.

It's been terrifying to watch Dems in power "pivot" to reactionary politics...

Zohran Mamdani wins!

He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.

Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.
