here's a fun lion TF I got to do for Xepher recently with real 80s shampoo commercial vibes
I had fun writing the alt text for this one. Do you read the alt text? I would love to know.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI
The more I look at this #sketchbook #mixedmedia piece in #oilpastel and #watercolor the more I love it. Turns out color theory works???

Been thinking of making a selkie form for a while just as something different, I’m really excited to share her! ^^
Also not working on something specific leaves room to just play with my #art supplies. If I leave my watercolors next to where I watch tv, I find myself picking them up and just playing with the colors and shapes in new ways.
Mercury retrograde as a time to finish things is a switch in focus that is time bound enough to really focus my attention on what has been left open that I don’t want to fully abandon. Hoping to curtail some of ambient guilt/ shame from looking at what’s half done & clear energy for new projects.
As an astrologer with ADHD, I’m trying mercury retrograde in a new way: I’m slowing down on new projects & actively looking at projects I’ve left unfinished to be revised at this time, and I think it’s working!
A tiny little floral doodle. I try and find the shapes in the painting and then embellish from there.
I’m using this energy to finish projects that have been in my brain & to take extra space to be tired. I question my perfectionist tendencies and approach conflict with as open a heart as possible. I hope I get to connect with old friends (one of my favorite parts of mercury retrograde).
I like to think of this time as thou go current is changing. If you move your hand against a slow current, you see how the bottom silt gets stirred up against the flow. This is the energy of mercury retrograde: messy, murky, but also revealing/ unearthing what was skimmed over before.
If you can get curious and push past the urge to blame & shame—to investigate your relationships, conversations, and other investments of your life force: there is space to grow. See how slow you can go and what discomforts reveal themselves.
Mercury retrograde can be really uncomfortable, but I really think that has more to do with a culture that punishes or blames a lack of clarity or connection, despises non-linearity, and individualizes blame, not the transit itself. Mercury retrograde has so much potential.

So annoyed that I feel better at the ocean than resting at home. Is it the dopamine of being at a joyful place, the engagement of my stabilizing muscles in sand and waves, or the connection to nature? If I don’t pin this feeling like a moth, will I ever understand how to find my wellness again?

Being “wrong” in the English language means two things:

-being incorrect, mistaken and:
-being morally bad, evil

We internalize that mistakes = bad person. They don’t.

Open yourself up to being wrong in the latter sense and make space for others to do the same. It’s a strength, not a weakness.
Monthly debuff is the greatest description I’ve ever seen 😂
Any break from the monotony of the suburb is a relief. The sunset coming through as the storm rolled in … stunning.

Please folks, I'm BEGGING you to hold on to your funny little drawing. Art, in any shape, even silly arts online, is an essential part of our humanity and mind. That's why fachists always ban arts first.
Creating and enjoying Art is the essence of living and living is resisting.
Never feel-
This is hardly a new feeling at this point, but more and more I find it hard to hold on to the feeling that there is purpose or meaning to drawing my funny little robot guys while the world is just... blowing up like it is.
My garden makes me feel so alive, makes me feel like I’m returning home to myself. Yesterday’s harvest of mesclun greens, radishes, herbs, nasturtiums, spring onions, and the tiniest snap pea you’ve ever seen.
