The whole “my boyfriend/husband/etc is my unpaid intern 😊” thing at art markets is so demeaning. Gals, you are strong and capable, and if my 90lb 4’11” little self can set up and tear down my display solo then so can you. I don’t do my spouse’s job for him, and I don’t need him to do mine!

Feeling kind of salty today about full-time employed MIs who make good money and freelance “on the side” like it’s a cute little hobby. Save some for the rest of us.

A series of dental/periodontal illustrations depicting the essential steps involved in a proposed method to treat deep gingival recession in the anterior mandible, taking into account the unique anatomical considerations of the papilla between the lateral incisor and canine. #sciArt

Genuine question. If you're in a state affected by the cyclospora outbreak and you claim you haven't eaten a single vegetable this past month, are you just saying that for the bit or are you for real? I get that you're PROBABLY just trying to be funny but science literacy is so abysmal I can't tell.

I hate that I tried a common engagement bait format on Instagram and it actually worked

Cute lil #animation I made a few years ago for fun. Sliced up an #illustration from a different project and animated the different elements to make this looping scene. #stargazing #telescope #illustrator

Why do men hold the microphone so far away

Wow after more than two years I’ve been paid a whopping $19 by Redbubble

Saw the most intense double rainbow in my life coming out of a crab boil restaurant. Heard a lady on the opposite end of the parking lot yell “OhmyGAWD! Holy SHIT! ….Happy Pride!” 🌈🌈

Idk how I feel about artists being at two very in-demand events on the same day (i.e. being present at one and having a friend run their booth at the other). Bizbaz and GR Pride are both kinda hard to get into, I feel like they could share the love a little and give up one spot for another vendor.

Artists I’m begging you to take yourselves seriously, no more of this “I’m an artist because I’m not smart enough for anything else” little baby bullshit. You’re smart and capable and worthy of respect!

Memento Mori: A Selection

Today's horrific AI medical image found in the wild

9 months old and still so true. “ If you’re pushing slop or eating it, you wouldn’t read it anyway. You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider.”

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Feeling suspiciously on track with client deadlines rn

Things said aloud only by a medical illustrator with cats: “please don’t chew on my skeleton.”

Why is “keep me signed in” such a lie?

My favorite thing about making an Instagram dedicated specifically to my “Places” project is that a couple of well known local influencers now follow me but ALSO accounts such as “GR Bathrooms” and “Birds of GR” follow me too. Being part of a city-specific shtick is funny.

Got ghosted by a company a few years ago because they weren’t interested in discussing licensing options. They reached out again last week to revisit that convo but I have a feeling I’m gonna be ghosted again because of just saying “yes” I presented an option that works slightly better for me.

I have no way of knowing if it's related but ever since I redesigned my website, work has been coming in way more consistently than before. Busy and grateful for it after an abysmal first quarter.

I have been self-employed for seven years and people still think I work at my old job (somehow even people who met me after I stopped working there).

Been using Instagram again and my god everybody is pretending like they're experts about color theory, it's suddenly like the phony Tiktok therapyspeak of the art world

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog Pet portrait commission/gift for my BIL and his family ♥️

I don’t feel like much of an artist lately. I’m making the work I need to make but so little of it feels like ART

another day, another horrifying genAI medical illustration found in the wild 🤮 the olfactory nerve, famously in the forehead

I've been uploading a ton of new/old work to Redbubble, if you ever wanted one of my doodles, collages, or discontinued designs on a range of products. Kind of obsessed with these three items in particular (I actually bought the clock for myself). studiohromi.com/redbubble #art #artist #redbubble

Embarrassing that certain medical illustrators are still championing genAI in the year of our lord 2026
