Unfortunately we live in a country thats actively hostile towards literally everyone except rich “cishet” white dudes and it will continue to be that way unless we do something about it! It sucks and it takes forever but it’s our job to make sure these cretins follow THEIR job lol.

Contrary to what some may think, I really don’t LIKE politics or thinking about it for more than 3 minutes. I just feel like within 10 years it’s gotten to the point where politics itself has unfortunately become infinitely more important bc the ppl in charge are just so AWFUL. Just vote lol.

The fun part of art is you get weeks long depressive episodes where drawing feels like pulling teeth, then you get randomly inspired and draw 7 new sketches a day, then your hands hurt and you have to go to the dr, then you lose ideas and then the cycle repeats forever lol

My clients are the best, I’m sorry that this year has been so rough and causing so many delays 🫩 The good news is I did in fact sketch out 7 queue pieces today so!!! Finally getting somewhere!!! I gotta kick my ass into gear so I can get some of these done by the holidays, yeesh.

My childhood dog HAAAATED insurance commercials (particularly the State Farm ones bc they beeped the jingles for a while lol) and I feel her spirit possess me whenever I see that damn ball with human teeth

Lrt I’m sorry to always be a complainer, but barely surviving off art Sucks lol. I’m permanently burnt out, permanently overworking for very little, permanently trying to come up with ways to entice people into liking my art enough to buy, and permanently trying (& failing ) to see what people like.

I’m starting to reach that “this is hopeless and you’ve wasted so much of your life on something nobody cares about” stage and hoo boy. It’s a lot to cope with. Trying very hard to find a day job but yeesh, that’s just as hard rn. It hurts knowing even now I’m lucky, it feels like Nothing. Sigh lol

I always hope for better and I’m grateful of course to even be able to survive right now, but with how miserable the economy/job market is right now… it’s hard not to be completely discouraged. I hope we get better days soon, but I can’t see em yet. Sigh idk lol. Time to suck it up and draw .

shout out to all the artists trying to pay the bills and grappling with that feeling of desperation and uncertainty while trying to maintain creative fluency and a hopeful outlook that maybe “today will be the day things get a tiny bit easier”

I’m sure some ppl are gonna prefer the old look to the new but!!! I’m very happy with him now! I hope I get disposable income soon lol, I wanna get art of him stat!

@ my other ocd artists… how do u guys just Get Over It and actually Draw lol? Every other month my brain says “hmm nope not good enough and the entire world will hate you bc of it” and lord it’s obnoxious. Meds? Check! Periodic therapy? Check! Actually doing it? Hmmm lol.

Hiiii I’m back! Should be a bit calmer the next few days, regular work resumes tomorrow! Ty for the patience folks, I feel awful whenever real life gets in the way of art haha :’3

God I wish there was a competent social platform that didn’t OPENLY DESPISE its userbase and use ai for literally everything. Like genuinely, what are we supposed to do now, especially after leaving twitter? I can’t just go back, it’s even more unusable than this place!

I can’t be afraid of anything with Doug Jones in it bc the whole time while watching I’m just thinking “there he is my best friend Doug Jones who shared one of my drawings on his Instagram story one time 🫶 “

Not a day goes by where I don’t mourn the loss of the phone headphone jack I had a completely separate phone & iPod touch and tbh that setup was PERFECT… until it broke and Apple decided to kill both iPods AND headphone jacks :) how lovely for us :)

I miss my music, it feels like I was SOOO Much more productive with my AirPods. But guess what, those broke too :) bc it’s my fault for thinking a 200$ pair of earbuds would work correctly apparently :) I need to buy another corded pair eventually. But unfortunately it’s expensive being poor :)
