Hello hello, I have never seen a craft I haven’t wanted to try. I like fountain pens, drawing, and journal/planner deco. I’m an embroiderer, cross stitcher, knitter, crocheter, and I’m working on learning a variety of things including making wooden puppets

Hey all, I hate to ask but I could use a little help. A couple bills have me near 0 for over a week and I really don't want to snowball into the red 😭 if anyone has anything to spare and help me and my disabled family I'd be eternally grateful

Nope. Nope. Nope.

We will keep working with real translators and narrators (and artists and proofreaders and authors and...) without any of this "AI" bullshit.

Thinking about petroglyphs again. Thinking about what I would fill a vast blank wall with. #art #drawing #rockart

A 3 page collection of various animal glyphs in the artist’s sketchbook. They have been drawn with a colored pencil and inked over with a brush pen. Tigers are the dominant species depicted, but there is also a Rhamphorhynchus pterosaur, a wolf, a tufted titmouse, a ball python, several betta fish, a turquoise darter, and two coelacanths.

🦊 Full-time Fox 🍪 @foxinajacket.bsky.social · May 31

There's the second version, too 👀 I was incredibly inspired by Japanese paintings and just had to draw him in a more... traditional way.

An expressive, brushstroke-style painting of an arctic fox with six tails, rendered in shades of white, cream, light blue, and black, against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains. The fox is depicted from a slightly elevated perspective, looking forward with keen eyes. Its fur is textured with visible brushstrokes, giving it a lively, dynamic feel.

Hi #portfolioday ! 🎨

🌸 I'm Hyacinthe, a french queer illustrator & author. If you want to know me a bit more, check my Meet Your Artist right below !
(I'll mostly share my NFSW art here, so be careful.)

Also, you'll find my socials and future posts under this publication 🌸

Meet The Artist of Hyacinthe Gioanni (she/they), a queer polya french illustrator and author. She drew herself, her bunny, her dog and both her boyfriend and hubby. She's a 97' non binary white person, with long brown curly hair, a belly pouch and fat thighs. She is tattooed and pierced. She's neurodivergent, bi and married. She likes animals, hiking, goat cheese, lord of the rings, collecting snail shells, snoopy, writing and pasta. She hates lettuce and fascists. Her bunny is cute but angry and her dog is a cute border collie.

Illustration of a fox, a bunny and a wolf sleeping in their burrow, under a patchwork blanket. There is a cute mole sleeping in another hole and a pantry full of vegetables. There is a lot of objects burried in the dirt : bones, broken cups, stones...

Illustration of a fox, a badger and a bunny hugging eachother in a cozy kitchen. In front of them, a table is set for afternoon tea, there are teacups, a teapot, some biscuits, butter, bread, marmelade...

An illustration of two young pointed ears creatures running away from angry gobelins. The first character is a brown skin farfadet, a jester holding a banner with a fox (jester) and a bunny (prince) looking at eachother. He's taking the hand of his beloved one, the prince gobelin, a young green skin chatacter. This one drops his crown. They're looking at eachother with a lot of love. Three cute hearts are floating between them. The angry gobelins have spikes. In the background, there is a warm colored silhouette of a castle.

Art friends: Here's a tip for getting rid of *a lot* of the AI slop in your Pinterest feed.

⭐Go into your account settings.
⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab.
⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab.
⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

Screenshot of the Pinterest settings menu. The option "Refine your recommendations" is circled.

Screengrab of the Refine Your Recommendations tab in Pinterest's settings. The subtab GenAI Interests is circled.
Below, all options have been turned off.

For Witch King and Queen Demon, some combination of the coppery tang of blood, dust from dry lands, cedar, the wildflowers of a grassland. (I could add decomposition and fouled water but that might put buyers off.)

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.
