Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

Not very active here, finding solace in making silly little drawings in my corner and keeping them for myself at the moment. And also devoured by guilt about posting it online, in a way. While I'm not very talkative on Bluesky, mutuals, know that seeing your art on my feed when I log in is a joy!

I'm not dead, just trying to survive the heatwave in France and quickly updating some Art Fight refs before next week! Have a sneak peek at Sylvain's ref. My beloved. I'm team Comedy btw, username is Apiaster on AF!

Drawing of a yellow rabbit with a very big and round nose. He is happily waving his paw towards the viewer.

I saw a viral post like "if you haven't studied 3D all day all night since you were 14 then you're toast", meaning it completely sincerely. Lots of industry folks agreeing with them. I can only say that's not been my experience at all and it sucks to see talented people trying to kick the ladder.

Currently obsessed with the fact giant colonies of rabbits inhabited the Berlin Wall's no-man's-land. There's a Polish documentary about it which I gotta see, "Rabbit à la Berlin". Will I understand anything? Probably not. Will I enjoy it? Sure will!

How come each time I'm focused on my work, colleagues insist on talking with me? I tell them I'm tired and not very talkative cause I'm doing work, and yet they KEEP on pushing and trying to smalltalk. Leave me alone. I beg of you. Stop asking me about my weekend. It was boring. LET ME WORK.

I feel bad about not posting a lot of art here. Yet, I've realized how hard it has become for me to create art in the age of social media. I miss the old days where I didn't feel any pressure and could spend entire days on a single artwork without a sorry or feeling the urge to post something.

I really need to share more art of this stupid moray eel man. His name's Erwin and I created him a few years ago for a silly Minecraft server with friends. Brilliant worm historian, who lives all alone and spends all of his day alone studying the reign of Dirt IV, the Great Worm King.

Halfbody digital drawing of an anthro moray eel man, holding two salmons in his head. He's saying "DOES ANYONE NEED SOME FISH?"

Going to see Michael with colleagues tonight. They don't know how clinically obsessed I was with MJ as a kid. Broke a couch by jumping on it when I was 12 cause they mentioned him on TV once. I'm scared watching this movie will re-open Pandora's Box...

"I'm so lazy how come I cannot get anything done!" do I say as I work two jobs, direct a theater play, and prepare merch for an artist alley next month. Maybe I just need to CHILL THE FUCK DOWN.
