I'm Paige, I'm an illustrator with a background in graphic narrative, printmaking, graphic design, and anthropology. I'm a queer neurodivergent woman, which informs the art and stories I create. I program, I'm trying to learn 3D modeling, and I make comics sometimes. My art will be in the replies. 🌈

One of my fosters got returned (Miss Lettuce) and the whole situation was so stressful, but she seems no worse for wear (not an abuse situation just… a naive owner in over their head)
She knows the new foster cat and settled in like she never left, and I didn’t have to bother with introductions

Someone got adopted!!! Going home Monday with the loveliest couple. So happy for her.
Prada is becoming more social by the day. She's been at my feet since day one, but usually sleeping near me and following me around when I move. Now she wants to be directly in my eye line.

In reference to the last post, it's giving fans and hobbyest dweebs who "fix" designs to look sexier or hyper palatable to a niche market of horny incels."She has vellus hair and ribs! Fucking feminazis, need to fix it"

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

I thought the foster found a little mouse toy until she started throwing it and it thudded. It was not a toy.
Anyways she was sitting very proud after I laid her foe to rest in the dumpster outside.
Last time a mouse got in, Jinx just followed it around and I had to catch and release it myself.

I've reached a point in my art journey that I can recognize references people use even if they're changed a little. Apparently we all love the same models/photographers and images 😂
