I think I need a Bluesky break. I need to turn my efforts toward other venues for a bit. You can still find me elsewhere if you’re interested—or follow my art blog using RSS.

This month's #BirdWhisperer bird is a Spotted Owlet! He is my beautiful baby boy.

a digital painting of a spotted owlet sitting in the branches of a tree. he is framed by blue sky in the background, and the branches he sits on are dotted with lichen, complimenting the white spots in his brown feathers. he stares directly at the viewer with large yellow eyes.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I've made about $17k all year, INCLUDING my adjunct teaching job.

There is this idea that anyone working in the arts has wealthy family help, and sure some do, but a lot of us are simply poor. If you enjoy someone's work please pay them for it. It is not greedy to want to be paid for your labor.

Sometimes a change can be good. A while back I drew these RAF tankers, a Bedford QL (Imperial War Museum, Duxford) & AEC Matador (Yorkshire Air Museum).

Got this done on my livestream yesterday: Aesop’s “The Fox and the Woodcutter”. Look it up—it’s relevant to today.

• Speedpaint
• Website

This is #HumanMade. I use Procreate. It took 7431 strokes and 10h31m to make.

#art #BskyArt #IndieArtist #Fable #Speedpaint #Artistlife #NoAI
Heavily textured illustration featuring the shadow of a man in a doorway looking at a fox who is looking back at him. Also has two portraits of a man and a fox staring at the viewer. A symbolic “trail” with a primitive sihouette of a hunter wielding a bow skirts Art Nouveau-styled three-dimensional filigree framing the entire image. A silhouette forest is at the top, backed by a sunset casting light on a snowy foreground. Heavily textuerd canvas in colors of browns, greys, tans, periwinkle blues, and flame oranges.

Exactly the reason I do it too.☀️❤️

1. I see elsewhere on Bluesky that the discourse has turned toward telling writers not to be ashamed to admit they have day jobs or other sources of income (or spousal/family financial support), and you know what, that's 100% correct. Day jobs and support from loved ones are great if you have them!

November's lino cut print "Solitude" felt like a step up in my lino work. After doing around 36 of these I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of it lol
I mixed Pthalo green and platinum white to get a slightly lighter green and I love the results on the tan paper. :)
#linocut #linoprint
A 5x7 lino cut print in green ink on toned tan paper. Image of a dragon sleeping on a hillside in the forest, with ferns and large trees. Two snow covered mountains in the distance. Ferns decorate the corners of the border. Under the print is written 6/46, the title Solitude and artist signature Katie Croonenberghs. Lower right text reads kamakru.com

#HumboldtCounty To the forlorn lass fr in front of the Co-Op on 4th in Eureka. I hope you found your 🐶. I walked around the area for about an hour & 1/2 but didn’t see him (her?). I also checked the parking lot of the Starbucks where he disappeared 3-4 times since then in case he found 1/2

They are having a huge sale right now... great time to get gifts for others or yourself for less 🙂

Available in lots of different t-shirt colors! Also hats, mugs, pillows... all froggy! 🐸

Picture of a bright orange t-shirt in close up to see a very colorful frog surrounded by brightly-colored dots in an abstract pattern. The frog is basically dark brown but is covered with dashes and dots in bright colors to form pleasing patterns.

"Let’s say 20 years ago the rate for a page of pencils was $150. People still get paid that."

My work is largely in the book market, buuuut yeah.

BOOM! recently reached out to offer an IP gig with the following rates:
script $50/page, pencils&inks $150/pg, colors $50/pg
