Hello BlueSky! :) My name is Julie Dillon,and I'm a freelance fantasy artist living in Portland, OR. I like making character focused illustrations that touch on mythological and fantasy themes.

A minotaur with a sword sunk in his chest and several cuts on his body, but from each cut flowers and flower petals flow instead of blood. His face looks sad and pleading, and he raises a hand as if to fend off an attacker. A king and his knight steal a quiet moment away together in a hidden alcove. The king leans in for a kiss and the knight subtly draws him close. The yearning is palpable, haha. Medusa stands proud and regal atop the stone statues of many soldiers that she's petrified. A sad selkie woman floats below the water, tenderly embracing one of the seals that swim around her.

Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):
ARTIST PROPAGANDA I'M NOT FALLING FOR: X Pulling all-nighters to make art proves you’re dedicated to your craft X True artists draw every single day X Only make friends with fellow artists cuz they’ll get you gigs someday X Freelancing is for artists who can't get a "real" studio job X Drawing fanart is cringe X Your portfolio should only have what studios want to see

Turns out Tidal is only a few dollars more a month for a family plan than Spotify and they have a cool feature where they’re not running ads to recruit for the gestapo.

Putting in a plug yet again for Tidal which I have overall been quite happy with and which I found it very easy to switch to

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.
Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

I'm going to try to get more MtG tokens painted and printed to sell at in-person events, but I don't play and thus am not sure what people want to see, and there are so many to choose from. 😅 For people who play, types of what tokens do you like to use or would like to see more of?

I hate that I'm relieved my health care premiums only went up by 75%. I hate that that is considered "lucky," I hate that so many people have it so much worse, I hate that we can't get our shit together as a nation and actually take care of our people.

detail of a painting of a black serpent-like sea creature coming out of the sea foam (stormy), with misty cliffs behind and it's grabbing on to a rock.

Progress shot for this watercolor and graphite piece I’m working on. I haven’t had to start over from scratch again yet, which is nice 😅

"Lilith in the Valley of a Thousand Sculptures"
Mixed media: coffee, graphite, and gold leaf on Arches paper.

The first piece to surface from the Labyrinth.

In pale marble, she carves a tree.
The Golden Serpent coils nearby — patient, watchful.
[ENGLISH ALT-TEXT] A surreal artwork in warm sepia and gold tones. A masked woman, Lilith, kneels on a wooden scaffold and carves a marble wall covered with the relief of a tree heavy with fruit. A golden serpent winds around her, its sinuous body catching the light. Below, the fragmented head of a colossal statue lies half-buried in stone. Thin lines of gold run through the composition like veins of memory, linking Lilith’s gesture, the serpent, and the fallen face. The atmosphere is quiet, sacred, and timeless. [FRANÇAIS TEXTE ALTERNATIF] Une œuvre onirique aux teintes sépia et dorées. Une femme masquée, Lilith, agenouillée sur un échafaudage de bois, sculpte dans le marbre la façade d’un arbre chargé de fruits. Autour d’elle, le Serpent d’Or s’enroule, son corps lumineux suivant le mouvement de la main qui taille. En dessous repose la tête brisée d’une statue colossale. De fines lignes d’or traversent la scène, reliant le geste de Lilith, le serpent et le visage effondré. L’atmosphère est silencieuse, sacrée, hors du temps.

In case it needs to said again, it's okay to make hateful people uncomfortable, if fact, we want them to be. Making concessions to lessen their discomfort just validates their bigotry and hatred.

one of the characteristics of white supremacy that often gets overlooked is "right to comfort", and when denied comfort in spaces, folks will use their tears manipulate others to accommodate them.

Keep them uncomfortable, deny them the comfort of being hateful.

What's interesting to me about this is the assumption that this space MUST be open to conservatives, a group that has repeatedly created social networks that intentionally cater only to themselves. No one on the left ever went on to Truth Social expecting a warm welcome.

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.
