Running errands but I’m hot and overstimulated

Simkaye 🌈@simkaye.bsky.social · 3w ago

I still draw all Raccoon Comics traditionally. I mostly work digitally, but there's something about traditional pencil and ink that I can't quite replicate

Simkaye 🌈@simkaye.bsky.social · last mo.

raccooncomic.com is back! I didn't think anyone still used the website and considered letting the domain permanently expire, so thank you to those who let me know it was down!(:

moew MEOW meeoww mreow (translation: I finally have Mouser prints)

Photo of art prints on a wood surface. The prints depict a warmly lit home office in the early 2000s. On the office desk is a teal and white early iMac G3. A black cat is half-crouched with the computer mouse in its mouth, staring at the viewer as though caught mid-hunt.

The scene on the prints is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

Pride prints are back in stock but leaving soon! 🐹🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A digital illustration of hamsters with a rainbow cake topped by a tiny inclusive pride flag on a toothpick. The background is soft pink.

The cake has white icing with a slice cut out, revealing rainbow sponge layers within.

A gray hamster is on the ground eating a chunk of purple sponge, next to it is a white hamster, full of cake, passed out leaned against the cake. A dark brown hamster is perched on the edge of the cake looking down at them.

A cream colored hamster looks up at the inclusive pride flag atop the cake while a second gray hamster paws at the toothpick, causing it to tilt.

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

A lit-up vintage vending machine at night behind a cinderblock building at the edge of a foggy pine forest. A raccoon is crawling into the vending machine slot, reaching for a baby oppossum that’s nestled itself between the snack rows and hisses at the rescue attempt. The oppossum parent watches from atop the vending machine, accompanied by a squirrel. On the ground, a fox hungrily watches rats gathered under the vending machine.

I STRUGGLED with hand/wrist pain through my 20's and it stopped when i began weightlifting and bouldering. Strengthening your muscles is a crucial line of defense against injury!

nic.tattoos@nicterhorst.com · 3mo ago

Here's some real advice for artists: I haven't had back pain, and had so much less shoulder pain since I started lifting weights. Start small!! As a(n afab) person who is over 35, I have less body pain than I did in my late 20s by a large margin.

Animals (small)! Some have food, some are food! Some have swords for revenge! Some are delinquent on their taxes and are wanted by the IRS (cute!)

5 rabbits on a green background. One carries a battle axe. One is wearing an oversized knight helm. One has 3 daggers floating above its back. One sits with the handle of a flail in its mouth. And a very small bunny has the handle of a large sword in its mouth.

Drawings of a pigeon and crow on a pale yellow background, surrounded by items like dandelions, bottle caps, feathers, and French fries. In one drawing a blushing crow offers pigeon a gold watch while pigeon (also blushing) offers him a bottle cap in exchange. In another drawing crow tinkers with a Rubik’s cube in his claws. In one drawing pigeon sits on a nest he built from French fries. And in the last drawing the pair are nestled together with pigeon under crow’s wing, while crow covers him with dandelion blossoms.

Drawings of cats and sushi rolls. One cat is a calico in a sushi costume. Another is a gray tabby pawing at a roll. An orange tabby in a sushi costume paws at a different roll. Another cat lounges in its back. A bengal cat in a sushi costume is trotting.

A collection of bat-eared foxes. Two brown foxes are running, three are creeping, a light gray one is side eyeing with its tongue out, and a dark gray one is curled up and yawning.

when you quote Reaganomics you sound like this

Title text that reads “this is how stupid 'trickle-down economics' sounds btw”, followed by an image of the Giant Omelette from Neopets with the blobbly heads of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Jeff Bezos in the omelette’s surface.

`Text below reads “You approach the unfathomable wealth of the billionaire cabal…” (image of a wad of cash) “… and manage to take a slice!!!”
