Hey friends! This week has been kind of lousy and on top of it all, my latest payment is delayed. I have new prints in my online shop after my cons, as well as signed copies of The Dogsitter 1-3! Help a girl limp through till this check hits. <3 (Bless you, Bsky, and your weird cropping choices.)
THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 8X10 Print
For all my broken-hearted beasties, this illustration features Sam Reid as Lestat from the AMC series. 8X10 print on high quality matte paper.

Me, playing Warhammer and rolling saves for a lone model that is hanging on with one health point left: Haha, it’s fine, I just need to roll two sixes. *immediately rolls this* Me: I AM THE CHOSEN OF KHAINE. 🩸🎲
If y’all need to know how tired I’ve been I realized I hadn’t updated my profile since before GalaxyCon Raleigh…and tomorrow I head to GC Des Moines! Anyway, come say hi, pick up a copy of The Dogsitter, and buy some art!
If you are in Iowa at Galxy Con Des Moines this weekend, then you have made some good life decisions. Come find me in Artists Alley all three days and come to see @heatherantos.bsky.social , @meganlevens.bsky.social , @andeparks.bsky.social , @tanaford.bsky.social and I at our Friday panel.

I just wish that people would understand that racism is not hurt feelings
I went to the movies today with my friend who has a blue heeler, and we laughed very specifically at the trailer for The End of Oak Street…seeing a heeler onscreen with a bunch of velociraptors felt very

I’m caught up on SNW & no, this most recent episode wasn’t the best ever, but I hope we’re going to get that power ballad cover on its own. So far this season has been more enjoyable for me than S3. And there are no new ideas, yadda yadda, but it reminded me of “Scratch N Sniff” from Farscape.

Here’s a commission I did for my friends @rondanchan.bsky.social and @cattifer.bsky.social. A lot of pressure when you’re making a piece for two artists you admire!
Hey, instead of throwing 96 bucks at midj0urney & getting only slop, ugly ass D&D portraits out of it… I offer you 350+ handcrafted designs for just $1! There's also a $5 tier with cute little variants now, thanks to us consistently hitting 500+ Patrons!!! patreon.com/Myrmidia 🤍👉👈
There was a pit bull in the game shop today, so I got to browse Warhammer and pet a dog, which is pretty much the best my life can get right now. (His name was Teddy and he was a very very good boy even if he thought his parents’ war dolly hobby was boring.)
What I want for trans + people in the UK. The puberty blocker ban lifted. The toilet ban scrapped. Supreme Court ruling overtuned/made ineffective. An informed consent model for gender affirming care. Self ID. Non-Binary people legaly recognised. No trans + censorship in schools.
Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.
Me, after a four day convention in another state: Oh man, I’ve missed my dogs, I’m so happy to see them! One of my dogs: WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU KIDNAPPING ME
someone sent some money into a fundraiser called "poorly drawn pets" and got this back of their dog. I can't express how much I love it. I've been looking it over and over and it keeps cracking me up. Do this. Don't do gen AI. There is magic in drawing.
