Real human artist. 37, they/them. I paint tiny canvases (frogs with cowboy hats and others silly things) and OFMD fanart (sapphic Ed/Stede & Garlic Soup)! Comms & online shops currently closed. IG & Tumblr: https://linktr.ee/watercolourcritters

In early 2025, we had a conversation about hosting a fundraiser, just to try and do a little bit for the trans kids we love. Things looked bleak, they looked hopeless, and it looked like there was nothing we could do—we were just a few fans, staring into the face of horrors, right?

It is so incredibly hard to exist as an artist right now. Every single platform is stealing your work, but legally, by removing your right to say no to AI. And it's just... exhausting. I don't want to have to find new platforms or constantly worry about who is stealing my work for AI.

There's only ONE WEEK (ahem - six days) UNTIL TEALORANGES AND GARLIC SOUP WEEK!!! Come join us as we celebrate all iterations of the polycule!! All kinds of fan creations welcome, from the smallest doodle to the longest epic poem! See our post below for FAQ, guidelines, & prompts. #GarlicSoupWeek

The graphic shows cartoon art of Jim, Oluwande, and Archie stacked together with Jim sitting on Oluwande's shoulders waving a knife, and Oluwande sitting on Archie's shoulders, so that Archie holds both of them up with hands on hips and a triumphant smile.

Thank you SO much to everyone who donated or shared this - my sister exceeded her fundraising goal and closed the Go Fund Me yesterday 💙 The raffle will stay open until Wednesday evening to allow anyone who hasn't put in their receipt yet to do so - I'll be drawing for the painting on Thursday!!
