I 100% agree, because everyone currently supporting artists is literally helping real creativity and art to exist, and this is a HUGE contribution. I’m grateful to every client who orders commissions or buys designs/prints, because you’re truly saving us now (+ all the stray cats we feed, haha!) 💛
People supporting and commissioning are all arround the world, in any situations but they keep helping out the artists they love. Thanks to them, many artists can pay rents, food, bills. If disabled: meds, custom items to help them. We have to celebrate those who help us everyday and respect us!

Harbour porpoises are in danger. Oil giant ExxonMobil wants to build a carbon capture site in the North Sea. They want to blast the ocean floor with sound cannons—for 3 months, nonstop. Let’s call on the German govt to say NO the plans! act.sumofus.org/go/761561?t=...
It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.
Wonderful news alert! 🎉 One of the UK’s rarest breeding birds has had a remarkable year. Montagu’s Harriers have successfully bred in the UK for the second year running, raising six youngsters from two nests at a secret farmland location. www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...
Some of the first sketches I made of these two lovelies. Rare sketch dump from me, but I just felt like sharing them :) #akotsk #lyonelbaratheon #baelortargaryen #aknightofthesevenkingdoms #fanart
At this point I'm just like.... Go for it. I don't even care. AI will be dead in a year and I'll still be able to draw. You'll all only be larpers who had to do this to even pretend you could. You will always be inferior no matter how much you steal lol 🤷
