I’m usually so bad at taking my own advice, but I’m gonna hang onto this one because I still feel this way. Art by itself won’t save us by itself, but community can. And I think it will.
Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

Wisptober Day 11 - Friendly ''...At least he looks friendly?...'' Slasher dog! His name is probably Buddy! Sowly catching up on my Wisptober! Might spill a bit in november but at the same time I am set on not burning myself up this month.:) #illustration #wisptober2025

Okay, it seems like I haven't been here for a long time
Some traditional plein air (and a study of Pride and Prejudice) from this year’s Plein airpril. Strangely, I think my traditional studies end up way more successful than my digital. Perhaps because I had a more limited palette to work with?
I would have def fallen for the Tulip Mania if I lived in the 17th century. Tulips are colorful and wild and I love them so much. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 This painting "Unfurl" is currently available at Antler & Talon Gallery in Portland, OR See my whole flower series here: www.antlerpdx.com/collections/...

I've made it guys.
Passion Tax is so real. I've never known an artist who wasn't just scraping by -- even the ones you think are successful. Even the ones working in studio. It makes you feel like you're insane, fighting for scraps.
this "passion tax" appears all over the place & should be talked about more. you see it in book stores and game stores all the time excitement for particular work is constantly weaponized to depress wages & pit workers against each other
Trying to keep my painting skills sharp and really lean into the um tiny details
I am an adherent to the philosophy that all the best artists are perverts in some way, if not openly then privately. What is perversion if not having unchecked passion, the same passion that fuels artistry.

can we start a whale fall art train? any other whale fall freaks out there?
Whale fall, and a few creatures that thrive at them This month’s riso print subscription print, join my Patreon to get this for half off, and weigh in on what I do for future print themes.
I may not be a NSFW account, but this recent attack via payment processors should concern everyone, not just people who create/like adult content. I've RPed some ways to fight back, but also do yourself a favor and check out this thread. SO many incredible artists and they deserve love and support.
I have nothing to add to the discourse today that hasn't already been said more eloquently elsewhere, but if you're feelin' helpless I might suggest that this is an excellent time to toss a coin to your local smut peddler. ♥ 🔞 artists feel free to reply with your work and donation links!
