Redrew this old art from 2021

an illustration of the artist, Matt Aytch Taylor, hanging off the front of an ocean liner smoke stack-from the RMS Queen Mary to be specific-looking out toward the horizon. the artist wears a buttondown shirt and a pair of rolled cuff jeans. Chack sandals adorn their feet. Gulls float in the distance.

Watching the parade
My parents, hopeful that one day I will bring them grandchildren to fill their home with laughter and joy

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Ohey the same argument people use to justify yelling at artists that charge more than $20 for full illustrations. 🫠

Screaming into the woods sounds so good rn.

Cara N. Delaney 💖💜💙 @caradelaney.bsky.social · 2d

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!

Some people really need to take "silence is golden" to heart and stop talking

Campbell's soup VP caught on tape trashing his own brand. Oof. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

In the lawsuit, Garza alleges Bally said Campbell's makes
"highly processed food" for "poor people" and made several derogatory comments about Indian employees, calling them "idiots."
"We have s--t for f**king poor people. Who buys our s--t? | don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the f—'s in it," part of the recording said. "Bioengineered meat -- I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer."

Yes please invest in external storage and back up your work! It's devastating to lose your art to hard drive failures or file corruption

Sarah M 🌈🍉🌻 @braverobynart.bsky.social · 3d

Unsolicited artist advice of the day: if you're a freelancer with no back up devices or storage, remember to pick a few things up in the black Friday sales. Even a pen drive to back up your projects so if you have a catastrophic hard drive failure you wont lose everything..learn from my mistakes. 😅

It's crazy to think that it's already been a month. Thank you to everyone that's watched and shared the pilot so far. It means the world to me and I'm overwhelmed by your kindness and support. Thank you to my team, my family, and to those who like my little guys. There's more story on the way.
