Hello, I'm Kat! I'm a freelance illustrator and currently working on a fairy tale, ace romance comic called Brightwood!

Illustration of a blonde woman in a silver breast plate and red cloak sitting on a boulder and leaning against a small tree. She looks up toward the sky and holds a book in one hand at her side. In the tree sits a magpie. Homage to Barry Windsor Smith's 'Psyche' Three people from the waist up hugging. On the left is a dark skinned, dark haired man in a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up. In the middle is a pale skinned, freckled, blonde woman in an oversized cream top over a low cut red shirt. On the right is a tall brown haired, light skinned man with pointed ears in an embroidered blue vest over a loose, light grey shirt. Underneath it says 'thanks for 1000+ follows' A black and white comic page. It's got full page of a forest with three panels laid on top. The top panel shows two little amanita mushroom people in the moss. The two bottom panels show a knight. The left panel is a close up of her gauntleted hands writing in a notebook with a pencil. The right panel is a close up of the lower half of her face showing a thoughtful smile as she holds her hand to her chin. A collection of little mushroom people based on several types of mushrooms.

IMO: it’s pretty accurate.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Oh man, Alton Brown is back!

I always forget how much he and my dad look alike. They both have a touch of mad scientist personality to them too.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

I don’t mention this enough but you should get this book I drew a few years ago, Lumberjackula, written by Mat Heagerty. It’s cute and I think your kids would enjoy it

Cover of a book called, Lumberjackula, by Mat Heagerty and Sam Owen. It shows a kid with dark fluffy hair and a beard, pale skin, and a fang, wearing plaid. His parents and grandparents are next to him (each lumberjacks and vampires).

Marine creatures rose to the surface all at once. The reason for their ascent was unknown. Yet KOKEDAMACHAN and the others rose alongside them, wanting to see what lay beyond.

Gods this is so real.
Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing.
You can make amazing non-realistic art.
You can make amazing stylized art.
Cute, funky, weird, great art.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Thanks for the tag 💜💜💜

Doing this made me realize just how little I've been drawing since starting my job 😔

Feel free to join in! I don't wanna do tags 😅
Illustration of a freckled, blonde woman in a red cloak, silver chest plate, cream colored shirt, and elbow length dark gloves. She rests her hands on the hilt of a sword looking out to the distance. A spray of forget-me-nots partially obscures her head in the upper right corner and another spray is behind her on the bottom left. The background is an ornate gold and blue design. sketch of an irritated looking woman grabbing the face of an embarrassed man as she asks him 'whats with these bags? When was the last time you got any sleep??' drawing of a blonde, freckled woman in a gown sitting on the lap of a man with brown hair and pointed ears who leans in to kiss her. The woman wears a crown of forget-me-nots and white feathers while the man has a half circlet with a red gem and black and white feathers.

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

This article made me absolutely livid, especially the interview at the end. It also explained the piss poor reading comprehension of so, so many people and the anger I feel on behalf of everyone taught to read via cuing is incandescent

Kim Davis has been fighting to overturn gay marriage for years.

She’s been fighting to be absolved of denying a marriage license to a gay couple

Today she lost her last shot at an appeal.

The Supreme Court denied her request to hear her case and ordered her to pay $360,000!
