Just want to reassure those new & old this is a LGBTQ friendly page. I'm here to share my art & goof off talking Star Trek. While my art is SFW, I will also boost other artists whose work is NSFW. 🖖🏻

talent is a fucking lie
facing down all this AI shit, I want to tell everyone you really can do any creative thing you set your heart on.
It just takes time and you aren't going to be good at it right away! You do not have to be "gifted"

BLACK FRIDAY SALE
through Monday Dec 1, almost everything in my shop is 20% off (some a little less, some more! in-stock items only)
My merch is niche by design, so it makes for gifts that feel thoughtful and personal if anyone on your list is a lefty or queer Trekkie.

I'm an untrained artist designing merch that draws on niche pop culture mashups for queer pride, nerd humor, and agitprop for a better world being possible. This thread includes a sampling of my work, which you can find on stickers and shirts, pins, prints, and patches at willburrows.art/shop

Boycotting big corporations this gift-giving season? Maybe consider a custom fanart for yourself or special someone. @spongynova.bsky.social's expressive characters and unabashed raunchy designs are why they're this month's featured artist.
Their commissions are open. 🖖🏻

#StarTrek #EverybodyLovesMartok “Days Of Bloodwine And Roses”
While hosting their holiday dinner, Martok and Sirella can't agree which bloodwine to serve, setting off a night of overflowing pours and blood-soaked fights. Meanwhile, Kurn’s dinner date is Worf’s high school ex-girlfriend.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.
