Since I can no longer do commissions I thought I'd share my redbubble; I made it a while ago (before I was on here) and there's not much on it, but I plan to add more soon :]

It was an absolute honor to talk to @foeyeahboi.bsky.social about NEW X-MEN #133, "Dust," aka the most racist/Islamophobic comic that Marvel published in 2002 (which is a high bar!)

I really can't recommend this ep highly enough!!!!

Remember this is just to get people talking about ai and keeping it in the public mind and nothing more it’s a sign of a company desperate for audience and a failing business model that needs billions to stay on target this year alone.

#SharkTober2025 day 21: solarpunk shark !

Kept seeing these turbines when looking for inspo and thought they looked kinda like sharks :]

A drawing. A little kid is sitting on some grass. A rope is tethered to the ground in front of them with vines spiralling up it. At the top end of the rope, floating in the sky, is a balloon turbine that looks like a shark.

Some #UKPonyCon25 happenings I meant to doodle but never got around to, until now.

Featuring @umbreow.bsky.social and SketchTablet

#MLP #TraditionalArt

Pencil sketch on paper.

Puffy and Umbreow ponysonas sitting at a table. Puffy to the left holding up a bowl of noodles that's sending sparks, crying as they declare "My noodles are too hot, I need something else...!"

Next to them is Bre facing the audience, eagerly eating the spicy noodles of his own bowl, despite tears and burning sensation. "This. Is. Fine."

To the right is a big window, which a tiny hippogriff named Burd has himself pressed against, staring in at the ponies while demanding "Let me in!" to obtain the spicy food.

Only coloured parts are the tears.

Pencil sketch on paper.

Pegasus ponysona Sketchtablet standing with a defiant expression and tiny eyes. Vibrating and shaking, their hinderquarters slowly fading out of existence.

On the ground in front of them is an empty cup of boba tea spilled on the ground.

Above is the text "Had enough caffeine to vibrate to the 5th Dimension" with an arrow to the pony.

Have a cute little collection of arts of @sneakyfrogg.bsky.social's co-host on twitch streams, AckyAxolotl!

Pencil sketches on paper.

Top left - AckyAxolotl human form with axolotl gills on her head under a strawhat, crying as she holds a bottle up to her cheek. Blushing with hints at being buzzed.
"But it's my emotional support bottle of vodka!"

Top right - An open bottle of vodka with a smiling axolotl swimming in it. The bottle labelled "Vodka for the newt."

Bottom left - Acky's stream guest host sona, a tophat with big round eyes and a small smiling mouth, and axolotl gills. Placed ontop of a pair of huge human shoes, sneakers.
Bottom right - Acky as a hat using those huge shoes to walk around.

Woman whose eyes are nothing like the sun... @sonnet130.bsky.social · 4d

This tragic but excellent article needs to be read by everyone throughout the country. The Republicans want to kill public ed. They are using state takeovers and charter school owning charlatans like Mike Miles (and his abusive NES) to do it. See at what they are stealing from our (soon your) kids!🧵

By @houstonchronicle.com columnist Lisa Falkenberg: "Books — actual books, with dust jackets, spines, whimsical illustrations, and characters and cliffhangers — are increasingly unwelcome in the land of worksheets and slide shows." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Falkenberg: Mike Miles takes story books from HISD kindergarteners

First HISD took the libraries. Now teachers say the district’s curriculum leaves no room for storybooks and some are secretly reading to students anyway.
