Work In Progress - Here’s a really fun commission I’m working on. It’s Veronica from @archiecomics as the 50 FT. Woman from Attack of the 50 FT Woman (duh). This is my digital prelim sketch.

“Hi , Brad. You know how cute I always thought you were.”
Messing around with a pinup sketch of Phoebe Cates from this iconic scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Another Work In Progess digital prelim sketch.
Gonna put my oc, Red Hot Annie, on a @heavymetal blank sketch cover. This is me working it out in procreate before actually doing the real physical art.

Not sure if any of that would be of any use in your case but thought I’d pass it along.

After doing that a couple of times a day, I took screenshots of my initial screen when I go to search, even circling some of the more egregious images and pointed out that my content is pg13 . Shortly after that one, all of the posts that had been flagged were no longer flagged.

That sucks so hard!
I haven’t been threatened with full on suspension but I’ve had multiple posts flagged, most of which didn’t remotely go against community standards. After my appeals were denied, I started going to “report a problem” and politely stating my case.

In light of the regular flagging of some of my stuff, I’ve decided to post unedited versions of culprits on sampayneart.com . The section is called Too Hot For IG. Soooo, if you’re interested, you should check it out.

🔥🤣🤣🤣🔥
For those of you who’ve been around for a bit, this is probably an (ironically) hilarious post, since I don’t do content that isn’t much beyond what would be classified as PG13. That said, the gods of social media still often frown upon me.

I really appreciate it! I hardly ever do black and white but it was a nice change.

im cancelling most of my other streaming services and taking myself to pbs./ better stuff anyway! you should too! PBS is gonna need us.

Aaron J. Waltke @goodaaron.bsky.social · Jul 18

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly.

Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent.

All done with this Luna Moon pinup for @adamthemovieguy96 .
Luna is shown here sipping on her favorite cocktail, a Nightmare on Bourbon Street, and (almost) wearing a bikini from Scaredricks of Horrorwood. Vampire skull prop provided by Vlad’s Old-Ass Bones.
