One of my all time favourite vinyls I’ve had the pleasure of working on! The brief was ‘Chrono Trigger with a traditional Japanese art and Ukiyo-e twist’, which I absolutely fell in love with 🌊❤️‍🔥

✨ Cover illustration for the last issue of Apparition Literary Magazine. Unfortunately, I don't think it ever got released before the magazine closed. A bit more about the illo in thread! #illlustration

This is the picture I drew back in 2024 (two years ago!!) for @nekouhai.bsky.social's #dtiys challenge. I almost forgot about it until today and realised that I am still very fond of it! I can't believe it's been two years already! #art #humanartist

(Re: last RT) When I first saw that bat video I was horrified down to my toes, even though I knew it wasn't in the States. I've seen a rabid animal and that video just gave me the shivers. :D

What you can do in rabies-free countries is amazing

So, we found a live bat in our galleries. 🦇 a thread🦇

We're getting ready to go in the back garden to watch the eclipse with a glass of wine. P made a pinhole camera type of thing so hopefully we can see it.

Today is my birthday. Turned 40, it feels like... a lot. Thank you all so much for your support! 🥰 The best gift today would be sharing my art.

It's my birthday, and although it's been a quiet day we did have a lot of food. I made cinnamon rolls with grilled nectarine and brown butter (omg) earlier, and P is marinating steak for tacos for tonight and I'll make esquites, a grilled corn salad to go with them. Yum.

Patrick and I have been up since 5:30 with Pebbles at the emergency vet for a glucose crash. Thank goodness she’s now stabilized. But good lord, the fees even with pet insurance - ! If you’ve been curious about any of my books, today would be a great day to snap one up! stephanieburgis.com

we are just now starting the cover journey for my next traditionally published horror novel, and are working with an artist, and i just have so much gratitude in thinking 'how wonderful. i have my job, my editor has their job, my cover artist has their job, and ALL IN THE CREATIVE ARTS. heckin JOBS'

Trans people are not angry enough with cis people, I think.

We tried to warn you, you indulged in your little transphobic fantasy. You thought you could just have a little transphobia in some areas and not others and that's not possible. You made this world too. Now unmake it, it's your job.

Earlier today P went to the market because I wanted to make nectarine cardamom cinnamon rolls. Nothing on the spice shelves. Lady brought a stepladder so she could search the top of the rack, nothing. Someone else had searched the back, nothing. A manager was called. At that point he just wanted...

I went to the GP because I could hear my blood pulsing in my ears and it felt as though my head would explode. Blood pressure is 184 over 90 something. The doctor did an airy wave of the hand and said "Some people get white coat fever" like I'd just stopped by to say hi, saw a doctor, and panicked.

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

I Roved Out In Search of Truth and Love is an erotic fantasy saga that has more than just spice: aftermath.site/i-roved-out-in...

Great thread up and down

The tech companies come into the desert and they demand our water for their servers and we don't have enough water to run the plagiarism engine. We need that water for the antelope and the bighorn sheep and the purple sage and the sagebrush and the basin wildrye and to drink and shower.

Warm up from this morning. I don't think I was ready to face yet another Monday, it's just not fair. :)

Really excited to show off the shiny exciting book cover for Quartz Storm, a queer epic fantasy that explores themes of power, betrayal, family, and sacrifice. Thanks to @ravven.bsky.social for the stunning design #booksky #sff #fantasy #writersky

Don't just share the most polished, professional works. Repost the people who are just starting, who are amateur, who maybe don't have the proportions or the anatomy or the color down. Remember they're choosing to pick up a pencil and enjoy the act of creating, many of them for the first time.

Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · last mo.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

Critically important. Not 100% sure whether this covers IngramSpark as well, but if so basically every author using KDP print on demand is having their books fed into AI training models.

Publishers, if you work with Lightning Source or are distributed through Ingram, take note that Ingram is offering an opt-out if you don't want your books sold to AI companies buying them to scan for AI training. ⬇️
