Hello new followers! My name is Rosy & I am a disabled multimedia artist & creative writer formally trained as a traditional animator at CapU! I'm an AuDHD tree hugger who can have some Opinions (sorry) & I try to advocate for wildlife, particularly wolves. I post a lot of pictures of my cats!

Keplar, my youngest cat child, a shorthaired dark blue tuxedo kitty with mischief in his heart. He lounges on his cat tree beside a sunny window and looks sleepily content.

Casper, my eldest cat child, an orange and white tabby fluff, being cuddly and sweet on his favourite cat tree perch beside the sun soaked window. The sun shines through his ears, making them look extra pink.

An illustration of the main characters of my graphic novel KNIFE EDGE, Larch the grey wolf and Sedge the coyote, howling upon a grassy, oxeye daisy-flowered hill overlooking a orange sunset over distant mountains!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving my friends!!!❤️🍁❤️🍁❤️🍁🥹

It's time for your annual reminder that Canadian Thanksgiving has a different origin from American Thanksgiving; no pilgrims were involved, instead, a very cool arctic explorer, Martin Frobisher & his fleet, who after an attempt to find the...

I work in an exhibit with live spiders, and I think I have lost count how often people misheard "green lynx spider" as "green link spider"...

Two illustrations of a green lynx spider (green spider with two bigger forward facing eyes and lighter colored legs) stacked on top of one another. The one on top is labeled "Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans)", the actual name of the spider. The one below is wearing a green, pointy hat, carrying a blue shield and sword drawn to look like the Hylian shield and Master sword from the "Legend of Zelda", series and is labeled "Green Link Spider (Peucetia hylia)".

I'm sure he'll fatten up in due time but I agree with Kami! Maybe he had trouble competing for food when he was among his siblings, or perhaps rotty pups are just slightly less burly than staffy pups? Coming from a life with cats I'm frankly impressed he weighs as much as he does. 😅

His tummy is too perfect and his lil' grin - also perfect!!🥹❤️

Good grief does he ever look adorably contented in this one!❤️

Rosanna P. Brost (she/her/them) 🐾🐺 @copperbora.bsky.social · 1d

That's what I always do, it's just far less intimidating than a single page full of very different short stories. I get doing it for shorts that are all very related but it's kinda weird when they are random.

I love them, this is wonderful!❤️

Yeah, the traffic thing is what tears me up about Etsy. 😑 It's so easy to discover cool people there but I also hate it because shipping is perpetually exhorbitant for stuff from the US, even before Orangeman came back in.

Yeee you're on Ko-fi now? That's where I plan to sell stuff in the future; I tried Etsy a year or so ago but I found it incredibly stressful and confusing.
