I used to hate the smudge tool, but now I love it. It took me a while to figure out which settings were just right for a perfect blurred edge!

I don't gatekeep, so I made a free smudge brush set! I've been using it in all my recent art. Grab it here: links.loish.net

vulnerability is an enormous aspect of love and its hard to understand just how *physically* vulnerable our pets are and what it means for them

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.

White Squirrel and Andrea are almost single-handedly holding together several independent artist economies and this is a godsend to any intl people who were blindsided by US tariffs before their fulfillment process (but after purchase)!!

White Squirrel @whitesquirrel.com · Sep 3

Due to popular demand, we are setting up a heavily discounted fulfillment service for artists outside the US that are scrambling after the recent tariff / customs policy put in place for shipments to the USA.
