Artist, weirdo, cat person. Graphics wonk

I repost almost all OC that comes across my feed. I try to avoid human-free graphics.

Simping for GenAI is a good way to get uninvited

I put some of the designs I make up here for sale - lanyards, keyfobs, small neat things that look great with custom graphics!

Another little bit of inspiration I made for you
A digital illustration on a mottled blue gray textured paper background. A human skull rendered in textured black with the contours rendered in the poster color. The top of the skull’s cranium is missing and dark red flames are rising out of it. A black banner loops around the skull on the left, right, and below. Dangling from the bottom of the banner is a sprig of holly with black leaves and red berries. Lettering on the banner reads ‘Holidays are hard but what ain’t’.

New collection launching in just under 4 hours! So excited!!

Again, there will be limited stock available before Xmas, but I'm just excited to have this line launched! It's been a difficult year overall, and this was, in many ways, our most ambitious line yet with so many different elements.
A collage of three pieces from the new line: A Gothic Key Necklace, Pyrametry Earrings, and Geode Earrings. A collage of three more pieces from the new line: The LïF Necklace, our Heartpetal Earrings, and our Boardwalk Earrings.

This piece is a decade old, but it was my #watercolor breakthrough! I’d made decent paintings before it, but nothing on such a big scale, with such an exploration of textures and colors.

Someday, it could be fun to repaint and see what new vision I could bring too~

#SaplingArt #Acuarela #Painting
A vivid watercolor painting of a huge canyon, filled with yellow, reddish, and purple shadowed hues, with a river cutting through it, with a turquoise that matches the sunny blue sky. Two masculine figures sit towards the edge of the cliff, one looking a little sickly all in white and one with red hair and a green backpack, with his arm around the other.

Long Kiss is one of my favourite movies of all time. I shan't argue that it's the superior film. It isn't, however, a beloved Christmas movie.

I'm gonna have to watch it again soon. Yeah. Geena Davis is a total baddie

It really feels like a winter wonderland. ❄️ How is everyone's winter (or summer, haha) season going?

A stock photo of lush green trees covered in snow, with some grasses around it, also completely covered, with more snowflakes still falling and a grey sky. Looks like a scene right out of a Christmas movie.

Hey @annaguirre.bsky.social it turns out what's good for the goose is good for the gander. It's raining and my seatbelt got caught in the door while I was at my therapist. I had to drive the rest of my errands with a decreasingly damp belt; I'm glad to have first hand evidence supporting my advice

Excellent exhibit at a great museum.
uomnch.bsky.social Museum of Natural and Cultural History @uomnch.bsky.social · 2d
Check out these photos from a 2020 excavation in downtown Eugene! This project revealed items from an early 1900s Chinese restaurant and gift shop owned by Wing Kee and Marie Westfall. You can see some of these artifacts in our exhibit Roots and Resilience.🏛️🏺
A porcelain shard on gravel next to a tape measure. The shard is about 3 inches long. It’s got a white porcelain background with red Chinese characters and part of the longevity pattern. This is right after archaeologists found the shard. A picture of the stratigraphy of the trench. Superimposed over the picture is text identifying each layer. On the top is “gravel from current project” and on the very bottom is “silty loam.” A wide shot of a trench in downtown Eugene. The trench is about w feet wide and 20 feet long, snaking through a gravel pit. Two archaeologists stand up to their ribcages in the trench, wearing bright orange tshirts and hard hats. Construction equipment is visible behind them.

Shakadang Trail in Taiwan's Taroko Gorge is a wonderful trek through tropical mountainous terrain. Not far from the entrance/exit is this crystal-blue pool to cool off after the hike.

Small yellow stars are around the fox. The painting is done in a limited color palette of oranges, corals, and a dark teal background.

What's the maximum length/size of videos? I looked at "Help" and it's tragical.

There have been more and more accounts online talking about how "AI art" democratizes art, because it allows people without talent to create art. And I suppose it does, in the same way that Twitter allows random amoral assholes to create political policy.
