Wishing my fellow artists lots of fun and weird projects in 2026! May all your clients know what they want. May you always paint on the right layer. May your human creativity shine bright!

Basically : Make things. Be weird. Happy New Year! 🤝

Last #TigerTuesday🐯 of 2025🎉
I drew at least one tiger for the whole year to get myself back into drawing regularly. My 2026 is going to be very busy so my art hiatus will have to continue. I'll still try to draw and paint when time allows. I hope we all have a better year in 2026!

Underrated point of discussion with the AI + social media uproar is giving thanks to patrons of the arts, especially non-artists, who are willing to put in the effort to support artists at a time when it has never been easier or more normalized to do the opposite.

Welcome back artists ✨ QRP with an old post that you still like!

I only have an old screenshot, but I made this tunnel book 6 years ago and I'm still very proud of it

Discovered the For You feed and absolutely loving it. Wondering if there's something similar (or could be) where you find people who have liked the same stuff as you instead of the content they've liked - feels like a good way to find smaller artists and writers like me :]

For everyone new here on Bsky too: reminder that while artists appreciate likes a LOT, the way you can help us most is rp'ing! That way we show up in more people's feeds, since there's no other way we can do that because there's no algorythm here!

So you've just made a BlueSky account for your artwork— what's next?

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Man it is awful to see what's going on over on the bad app, but lovely that people are finding refuge here and that a lot of lists are being revitalised. I'm planning to focus on community a lot the following year, so I'm glad to see it growing ♥️

QRP to reintroduce yourself!

I'm Hazel! I'm a fantasy and horror illustrator from Cornwall. Texture, noise and colour are my favourite to play with, and I'm also writing a fantasy horror book which inspires a lot of my style

Here's my first go at a starter pack: Transmasc artists in the fantasy and TTRPG sphere. Spotlights are rare for us so I took matters into my own hand.

I'm happy to add folks to this as long there's room.
