aand one more of my terrier-thing Lenny! Capable of great cuteness and even greater mischief
#visualjournal
A comic drawn in black ink. The top three, smaller panels show a dog looking at different animals, one per panel. The first: a crow. The second: a duck. The third: a squirrel. The last, big panel shows a close-up of the dog’s face. He is growling and barking and the drawing exaggerates his teeth and makes it look like his eyes are bulging in different directions. It is captioned: Lenny can only handle one thing at a time. An acrylic marker drawing of a small blue dog curled up and sleeping on a pink blanket with a hearts pattern. It’s captioned: Lenny loves his baby blanket An acrylic marker drawing of a perky small dog. He is drawn with comically big eyes, a small nose with droopy short whiskers, and floppy ears that stick out to the sides. It’s captioned: Lenny looks like an alien A conte sketch of a cartoony dog eagerly begging, a thought bubble over his head showing a drawing of sushi rolls. The drawing is captioned “Lenny visited Oma for the first time.”

While I'm at it, here's a compilation of my favourite Hobonichi pages featuring my bestest girl, Boo!
#visualjournal #alaskanhusky #dogart
A sketchbook page done in pencil crayon. In the middle of the page is a drawing of a dog sitting alert with an inquisitive expression. Behind her is the text “Perfect princess baby angel good-est puppy dog” A Posca paint pen drawing of a dog portrait. The dog looks straight ahead with alert ears. Most of her fur is coloured in dark blue, with brown on her neck and face. Text reads: “Good girl does it again!” A stylized drawing of a dog in profile. This page has ink bleeding through it from the drawing on the other size, giving this page a colourful, splotchy texture. The dog has alert eyes, and pointy ears, she looks off to the left. Drawings of a dog silhouette in a variety of poses, captioned "Shapes of Boo playing in the snow"

A semi-recent Frankenstein spread. Yes, watching the new del Toro movie got me into reading the book – which is a fun time! I get why we're still talking about this 200 years later
#frankenstein #visualjournal #hobonichi
A gouache painted portrait of Frankenstein’s Creature from the new Guillermo del Toro movie. The portrait is of the final scene, where the Creature looks into the sunset and smiles. Writing says “Feeling inspired after watching ‘Frankenstein (2025) by Guillermo del Toro” A hand lettered quote in black ink on sepia ink. The quote is from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: “I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

RBs on this post are really appreciated <3
A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text". "After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now." I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated. 1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me! 2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season! 3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think! A screenshot of TeleKitnetic's ko-fi shop.

Okay one more from December 2024 – I was (and still am) pleased with these chunky freehanded hands!
#discoelysium #cuno
An acrylic pen drawing of Cuno, a character from the video game Disco Elysium. He is a young boy with red hair and freckles. He points to his templates and is saying “Cuno doesn’t fucking care!” which is a tagline of his.

Hi! I think I'll try to post here more… turns out I haven't shared any of my "most-days-daily drawings" in nearly a year?! One year-ish ago I binge read Seth Dickinson's The Traitor Baru Cormorant and the sequels. They rocked my world. If you know, you know!
A drawing of two women, one facing forward with a white mask covering half her face, and the other in profile speaking into her ear. The one speaking, meant to be the character Tain Hu, says to Baru, the one with the mask: “You will find no power behind the mask. It will wear you. It will eat your face.” – a quote from the book The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson A hand lettered quote on red, orange, and yellow ink: “Her fury had nothing else to eat and so it began to eat her.” – a quote from the book The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson An ink drawing of a cartoonish person laying flat on the floor with an arm draped over their face. The other arm holds an open book, and they are lit by a spotlight. Writing above reads “Finished reading Baru Cormorant”

I have said for decades that frustration is a good thing.

it's not even really something I see as something to 'tolerate' though I recognize that's a matter of perspective, but rather frustration is the symptom of you having standards and recognizing you want to close that gap between you and it

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Why is everyone in Canada who is talking about Charlie Kirk, talking like we're the 51st state?

Sandy and I break down what his murder means for Canada, how we should understand it and resist the purges that are coming here too.

between the tariffs and genAI it makes any art that crosses your path, indie or mainstream, a hard-fought miracle. really appreciate the creativity you see because artists of all stripes are really working against an avalanche intent on burying us
