Hi again, #PortfolioDay! I’m Teresa & I mostly do watercolor & digital art. You can see more of my favorite things I’ve made collected on my #pixelfed portfolio: my.pixelfed.art/knezek.art

I’m always open to discussing commissions! My contact form is right over this way: knezek.art
A silhouetted row of subarctic spruce trees in front of a colorful night sky in which an apparition of a massive raven holds the full moon in its beak. A watercolor painting of two booming stalks of fireweed flowers on a plain white background, with a bee hovering near the left side. It is framed in a simple wooden frame. An Arctic hare naps in the snow. Ink illustration with watercolor. A digital illustration of three sled dogs, drawn in a very stylized medieval/Norse-inspired black line style, pulling a Viking-style sled. The white lead dog has her nose pointed skyward as she sings her running song, represented by rainbow-colored ribbons of color undulating backward above the rest of the team and sled.

Hellooo lovely people! Have you been putting off buying holiday cards?

If so, may I suggest one of these fine designs? Printed in my studio, and packed by my very own hands (get a $1 per card discount for buying in packs of 5!).

An image of a greeting card featuring a watercolor painting of the Aurora Borealis in the sky above a field of small subarctic spruce trees in the snow. One tree is decorated with multicolored Christmas lights. An image of a greeting card featuring a watercolor painting of some bare birch trees on rolling, snowy hills. Below the painting is light blue text reading “Happy Holidays”. An image of a greeting card featuring a block print of a dove carrying an olive branch, on a cloudy blue background. Below the dove is script reading “Peace on Earth”. Image of a long greeting card featuring an image of a four dog mushing team pulling an ancient Nordic-inspired sled. The lead dog is white, and has her snout pointed skyward as she howls. Her song is represented by ribbons of rainbow colors streaming back over the team behind her.

From the Depths — William Balfour-Ker, 1906
B&W art. A fancy ballroom where men in white tie are reveling with women in evening gowns. The revelers have paused in their dancing and are looking down at the dance floor. A fist has punched through the floor. We see below the ball men and women hunched down in a cramped space holding up the revelers' gala. One of these people crammed down in the depths has punched through the dance floor from below.

hey #UglyDogs, I could use your help. I lost my job in January this year, and 2025 killed the job market. I ran out of UI & there's a pretty steep gap between what we have and our ability to pay the mortgage. any help is appreciated until I can get a job.

I’ve been working on a new shirt printing setup, and if I’m not very much mistaken, I should be back to printing shirts this weekend!

The America Arts are FUCKED right now. AI propagation, constant layoffs, hiring freezes, projects not being greenlit, conservative censorship, massive tariff hikes, mega-mergers, foreign buyouts, studios relocating overseas and lack of public funding is killing us.

Please support small creators.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...
L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie
Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

Ok, it’s Saturday here, so you know what that means! For the rest of the weekend my DMs are open to new comics creators looking for advice or feedback on writing, art, or the industry at large!

If that isn’t you, please share anyway, you never know who might have a question!

Been a hot minute since I set up a new #WatercolorPalette, but I acquired more blues & greens & had run out of room in the old ones.

Curious: If you’re a #watercolor person, what colors would you change from this, and why?

(I even left three spots open for future impulse purchases! 😁)

It’s true! I’m seeing a definite downturn in sales at my in-person events this year, compared to last. 🙃

But sharing posts online really does help, especially with online sales!

It's a tough time to be an artist or creative, and it's especially tough if you're doing that on a freelance or independent basis.

Sharing someone's posts, leaving a positive review, or recommending them to a friend are 3 easy ways you can help. And they're all free!!

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

Reminder that you can always start wearing a mask again, at any time, for any reason.

One of my favorite reasons is, "public restrooms are gross".

You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air.

Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨
