#caturday where Pixel circled like a shark and then stayed out of petting distance because there was no offer of food.

...wait have folks forgotten that the term "fan" and "fandom" comes from "fanatic"?

Reposting to remind myself that I do indeed wanna make a wee bit of dark art next month. Just a lil bit.

Some low-stakes drawing prompts for folks that want to do some #darkart in October, I'm posting this up now to come up with ideas in the meantime. Extremely *low stakes,* only 15, meaning *it's not daily.* You can even pick 'n choose which ones you want to do, just get excited for dark stuff 🎃🦇🖤

Happy bi visibility day from a bi/demi artist. Enjoy some old pieces that are roughly blue, pink, and magenta color-coded. 💖💙❤️

..Once, an AD almost brought @emichen88.bsky.social to an internship interview at an office that was under construction, a totally empty room covered entirely in Dexter-style murder plastic. I wouldn't have batted an eye if she brought iced coffee to the interview in comparison.

...SF is trying to trick me with this dark dank witchy weather. This is False Autumn. It's gonna spike to 80+ for a week, I just know it.

Artist! Quote with the drawing you are still obsessed with 💖

Artist! Quote with the drawing you are still obsessed with! 👀 (Some day I will do more traditional pieces. Today is not that day.)

Gonna go to a grocery store today and not sadly walk past all the bags of apples for once, I aM SO EXCITED.

Kim Herbst@kiwifruitbird.bsky.social · last wk.

Just tried an apple again for the first time in probably 20yrs - I'm allergic to them when they're raw and figured maybe it's better now that I'm on dupixent and ...yeah?? I had pretty much no issues, this is bonkers. Gonna eat so many freakin apples 😭🥲

...I'm not one to write bad reviews but I've been forced to write a few on several items this week alone, because the expected quality dropped to an undeniable level of awful. Items that I've bought multiple times in the past are just utter crap now.

The Final Chronicle of Yeneh is out today! A genre-bender full of sentient alien plants & portal fantasy adventure. A duke’s granddaughter rushes to discover the truth about her planet’s native life before her family's terraforming wipes it out. www.jomiles.com/yeneh #booksky #newrelease

Walked out of the bedroom to almost trip over this hallway loaf.

Artists! I'm looking for a painterly/traditional artist who works in the highly rendered, lush, sensual style that you'd see in classic pinups with LOTS of romantic suggestion. Unfortunately there's SOOO much slop out there I'm having a tough time finding someone who is a real artist 🥴

Update: got a successful, complete charge-back from my cc. If you supply screenshots of "Item Ships from Raleigh, NC USA" and "Seller sent from: Hungary" it can expedite the process. 🙏

...I got smacked with an $18 tariff from an Etsy shop that claims it's in the US and the items would be shipped from the US. I am. So done. With that goddamn platform.

oh, no no I am not an actual kiwi/from New Zealand, I just have it in my username handle from a joke in college dating back over 20 years please oh god I should not be on this list.

Please share your feedback on how genAI destroys the livelihoods of artists on the official EU website. You can do so even if you're not an EU citizen. We have to be loud so the change will come, and practice shoes that voicing hatred towards genAI works ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

Werner Herzog's scathing quote about Ai is what I needed this morning.

...Some of those Ocarina remake screenshots have a real "guess who the anime protagonist is" with the patterns on patterns on patterns on Link and smooth textures on everything else.

...Every September I am lured into cozy sweater mode and every year SF says "no, you get a heatwave, first."

Post your green art 💚🪄

(I'll continue it as I fixed up an old study) If you see this, QRP your green art 💚
