A photo of Ronnie's iPad screen. The drawing app Procreate is open, and it shows a sticker sheet drawing in progress. Ronnie has used a crayon like brush to draw a frogglet on a lilypad.

Happy frog! 🐸

Wetland habitats are very under appriciated! So enjoy a Green Frog and acorn friend chilling on a log ✨️ #frog #art #NatureArt #acorn

An illustration of a scene at a pond. There is a log floating in the water and a Green Frog sitting on the log with its tonge sticking out. Beside the frog to tbe left, there is an anthropomorphic acorn resting its eyes on the log. Below the log you can see lily pads and pink lily flowers, along aquatic grassy plants coming out of the water. The style is texturized, a but gritty, and watercolour

Semi-regular reminder that you limit your potential reach on bluesky when you don't include alt-text on your images. If you can't or won't for reasons, this is just to let you know there is a pretty dedicated core of people on here who won't repost anything without alt-text as much as we'd like to.

And I wish it was as easy as getting a hearing aid to help, but it's not. And I do so many markets, which are worse bc of all the noise around you. I've always wanted to make a button that says "please speak up!" to help bc it hurts 🥲

Having an auditory disabilty is so frustrating, especially when hanging out with new people and not being used to their manerisms yet to understand them better. Most times I just guess what ppl say and get it wrong bc it's faster to have them correct me than having them repeat it 3 times 😅

I still want to illustrate and maybe even author my own #KidLit book eventually. But I am falling deeper and deeper in love with making stationery. The problem with having 100+ dreams and goals 😆

Yall it worked!! Still gonna consider supporting other companies though but it's a small win!

Sometimes I hate how quiet the night is because I want the outside world to match the noise on the inside

To my sticker making friends who rightly hate AI: One less option to worry about when printing stickers!

Feel free to recommend other printers in the comments that we can all use instead, bonus points for Canadian companies
