Wrapping up a writing retreat in WA State. It's been a great time & very productive for The Bonding: Book Two of the Avian Age. Added 5 new chapters + tidied up loose ends in outline and wiki for the project. I'm on track to have Book Two out by mid-2026, just in time for Anthrocon!
Oh nice, Cricut. Thanks for the shiny new, untested, definitely-not-bricking-my-workflow-in-a-critical-con-prep-timeperiod update...

I just noticed the Reebok logo looks like the Predator’s laser reticle.

We’re all different and beautiful. That one that’s going against the flow must be me.

OMG the new shirts from TSDesigns are on their way! I can hardly hold my eggs from the eggcitement of it!

Heres a better photo of one of the Bird Brothel shirts I posted about the other day. You can buy on my website & select “pick up at con” if you will be at MFF, ANW, or NFC in the coming months, or I can ship too. Other bird designs too! aetusart.com/shop/categor...

Applied to the Midwest #Furfest art show. Lots to show off and you'll be able to bid on most of it. Gonna be a fun weekend!

I’m unpacking a fresh batch of Bird Brothel t-shirts. Get yours at MFF or pre-order today to save one in your size & pickup at MFF, ANW, or NFC.

Is it me, or does this foisting of predatory financing options into a small business’s customer relationship piss you off too? Hard opt out. Klarna preys on shopaholics to trap them into high APR overextension of credit, hidden fees. I won’t be a part of it. I ❤️ my fans & don’t want to hurt them.

Google was right! You can take raw eggs through a TSA checkpoint. Rules don’t specify species. Who knew?

Just finished writing my first love scene in The Bonding. It was so wholesome it melted my heart, and so lusty it melted the keyboard!

Btw, that last post is not a draw-over. That’s assembled prints I made on a foam board backing. Same with this one, which is Tulivor.

I’m in love 🥰 This is Vouli, a character from my new novel, Whiterock. I made this life-sized standee of her to perch at my dealer booth at #midwestfurfest next month. The theme is Villainous Vacation so be sure to stop by and kiss her talons.

Wiping the floor with that prick Cuomo. Fuckin' nice. To all those Dem leaders that refused to endorse Mamdani: Fuck you. As soon as there's a progressive leader, the base you're so out of touch with is firing your asses.

I present to you, my Cramorant Form/Sona!
I commissioned the awesome @zecretcolors.bsky.social to draw him for me and he did an amazing job. I'm so happy with it! More Artworks of this Form of me will follow in the future.

I'm very eggcited for new shirts I've ordered! I've partnered w/TS Designs, a US company that utilizes local, fair-labor, environmentally-responsible sources. Using the QRC in each shirt, you can trace it all the way back to the farm, "from dirt to shirt!" I'll have these at #Furfest in December!

I was having a fun time this morning writing the big reveal about Pepro’s family background. It’ll knock your feathers off! Don’t know who Pepro is? Read Whiterock, first book in the Avian Age series. Second book, The Bonding, is on the way. aetusart.com/whiterock

TIL that "canvass" is spelled correctly, if you are referring to soliciting votes. I have a habit of crudifying words (canvas + ass = canvass) so I thought this invite to "canvass" the neighborhood was someone being silly on main.

Thanks to everyone that participated in the recent polls for finalizing my next shirt design. I compiled from multiple sites where I ran pills and Heres the design that won. Should be available at #midwestfurfest and I’ll have pre-ordering up soon. #marijuana #birdsofbluesky #furryart
