it would be nice if it was possible to afford a home in NYC with anything other than "corporate power couple salary" or "trust fund"

it's funny how illustration shows you the limits of your imagination. I want to paint a recent d&d scene, but I'm sitting here going "what does it look like when two people are in a field". so I guess I know what I need to study next
boss: let me guess you're sick again? i told you you've got to stop spending so much time in bars on the weekend me (was catching pigeons and putting them in my mouth): i was kissing a lot of pretty ladies too let me tell you
I'm rewatching queen of the damned and like. even though the vampire lestat series is Better, the aesthetic of queen of the damned is so much stronger. there's no defining modern genre in 2025 vs that of grunge/goth in the late 90s
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. If some lady handed me a free sword I'd still take it though.
my body dysmorphia would vanish if i looked like sam reid or salma hayek
sometimes, a vegetable is the most delicious thing you have ever eaten. and sometimes, a vegetable is like eating dirt scraped off an old shoe
The natural conclusion to my berrymania is blueberry pie!🫐✨🥧 I also realized that I've accidentally made a short comic about the fate of these blueberries with my 3 paintings haha 1/3 #blueberry #pie #art #painting
at 7:45am today I went to the local fancy coffee shop (morning rush isn't until later) and wrote a journal entry that gave me more emotional release than any of the sessions with the therapist I just stopped seeing after 3 months

finished my latest character design! This is Dahlia the Red Wolf, a no-nonsense monster hunter seeking to bring her vampire father to some kind of justice. read about the design process in my latest blog post 👉 atashzadeh.com/post/charact...
I think my favorite birds are tanagers. Here’s one of a Saffron-crowned from Antioquia, Colombia. #BirdoftheDay #Multicolour #aves #birds #nature
finally started the vampire lestat. episode 1 was overwhelming (probably intentional) but also clunky in the way that fanfictions can be clunky: stuff happened bc the writers willed it, didn't feel very natural. still excited for the rest of it (despite the throwaway nb person....)

Went birding in Bicknell Bottoms, near Capitol Reef National Park, and on our way back ran into a couple of Western Tanagers. Seemed appropriate they were perched on barbed wire! 🥰🥰🥰 #Tanager #Utah #birdsseenin2026
working at a coffee shop is goated when you want to hear strangers' relationship drama
exchanging random homemade jams and syrups and baked goods with friends is one of my fav things about being alive tbh
lemme tell you how nice it is to ride a crowded train to nyc beaches vs sit in traffic for two hours to get to any other american coast
sketchie of my next novel protag. feels a little too Generic Fantasy but also...... that's kinda the point of her character. will sleep on it
I forgot to share this here! A risograph print I made for an Autoptic fundraiser. A Pari from Iranian mythology ✨
