I'm sorry, I've been away for awhile, but Bluesky is warning about the "terrorist group" antifa now? For real? And they just think that's normal and good because some fascist politician called anti-fascists a terrorist group? Is the moderation team stupid?

Just a little man

#art #sketchbook #frog

sketches in my sketchbook of a frog. Upper left he is standing like a human, upper right he is sitting with arms resting on his knees, bottom he is running wearing a lilypad/lotus with straps as a backpack. All around these are little messy scribbly leaves and flowers

I really believe we’re headed for a creative revolution.

Feels like we’re reaching an apex of creative industry jobs cutting pay/disappearing altogether, while the process for making/releasing indie comics/games/movies has never been more democratized.

They’re making it so we have nothing to lose

Venmo and cashapp: @/ArtQuilliam

anything helps! I'm trying to raise $200 to make my September rent. My part time job is seasonal and will be starting up again soon, but until then I could use the support! Thanks!

artquilliam @artquilliam.bsky.social · Aug 28

Ah, well. Worth a try.

I hope you get your tablet issues figured out soon. <3 I know how frustrating it is to want/need to work on art and having troubles with your software and/or equipment.

I'm sure you already have, but I feel like I have to say it just in case. If you haven't already you should try restarting your computer after making updates to the driver/Photoshop/etc. I'm not very technologically smart, but I know turning it on and off again helps more often than you'd think.

If any website needs me to upload my ID to use it, I will simply stop using it. I would rather fully leave the internet than share that kind of information. Fuck no your website is not more important to me than protecting my identity as best I can from authoritarians.

I saw a possum last night runnin like this across the street it was so cute.

Digital sketch of a cute possum in pastel colors running with legs moving real fast underneath it and the tail outstretched straight behind it. Looks like it's in a real hurry to get somewhere!

Hey, hey! I'm definitely looking for work! Check out my artist website: www.artquilliam.com

A digital portrait painting of a black woman wearing an iridescent jacket with bright spots of color highlighting her face. Her lips are partially parted and she looks directly at the viewer with her brown eyes. She has an afro and a golden hoop earring that hangs down by her neck. There is an artist signature to the right that reads, "QFA'25"

A digital illustration of a reinterpretation of Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote. In this illustration, Jessica is coming cautiously and curiously out from behind a door of another room. She holds a flashlight up in her right hand. She is a black woman with an elegant gray pea coat and a cream colored shirt underneath. She wears her hair in braids that are done up in an elegant bun. There are a few pieces of hair jewelry that she wears. She also has golden earrings to match. She looks positively ready to find some clues.

A digital portrait of a red tiefling with large, curvy horns, curly dark hair, and a scruffy beard. There are two marshmallows pierced on the tips of each of his horns. He looks up in confusion and concern at the marshmallow on the right, which is on fire. The fire's light reflects off the tiefling. There is an artist signature to the bottom right that reads, "QFA'25"

A digital illustration of a possum wizard. She is a large North American possum with a brown wizard hat, a brown blouse, and a blue skirt with a white daisy print. She wears a fanny pack and a brown pouch at her waist. She has a ring on one of her toes, two hoop piercings on both of her ears, and her large tail has three rings on it near the tip. She is adding some kind of petal to a cauldron filled with a glowing purple liquid that she stirs with a large wooden stick. Her seven possum children are scattered throughout the illustration, watching her work (aside from one which is sleeping on a shelf peacefully). The whole stone room is lit in the purple glow of the cauldron's contents and the warm orange glow of the fire that heats it from below.

This entire thread explains it all, extremely well, and every cis person should read and let it actually sink in.

I want to point something out about this rancid man who people are rightfully dragging that speaks to a larger issue. Here he is, casually insisting that trans people should sacrifice themselves for the greater good. The rest of his feed this morning? Him arguing passionately about Dark Souls. (1/x)

Guy who looks like Methamphetamine Jesus with the handle @spaceprez.bsky.social saying: "THAT'S NOT THE POINT
The point is if you're gonna die anyways, you should at least try to save other minorities.

'I'm dying do fuck all of you too' is fucking dumb"

Y'all should go read this thread! There's a lot of good advice about how to be a better practitioner of the arts!

Ify Nwadiwe @ifycomedy.com · Aug 17

While I’m talking storytelling, I’m gonna drop my top five pieces of advice I usually give out:

1. Ingest as much art as you can.

Not just watch/read other things, but also go to a gallery, live show, or some other artist effort even outside of your practice. I was inspired by a dinner recently.
