Quote with two of your best works and a little introduction:

Hi, I'm Kate! I'm in Australia and like to do a little bit of everything. I love traditional printmaking and that oftentimes infiltrates my work. These are in a style I've been developing in 2024.

An illustration on a navy background in which a woman looms ominously behind a man with her hands raised in a grasping gesture to either side of his head. He smiles faintly and holds a white lily near his chin, with ghostly faces to either side of his own. The woman wears grey and beige robes with a red shawl over her blonde hair like a hood. An incomplete halo hovers behind her head like golden horns. The man wears all black, with a similar hood. Both figures are framed by a tangled wreath of red roses and thorns. One rose drips a trail of blood down a single leaf at the bottom of the frame. At the bottom of the frame are the words "The Night Knows My Name" and a circular logo for the Bloody Tapestry of Kae'fre by W. James Chan, with the crux et luna symbol at its centre. An illustration on a brown field in which three sickly pale hands hang from a wreath of yellow roses. Each rose and hand has a blue eye at its centre. The hands are pin-pricked by thorns in the roses that entangle them, and blood drips down towards their fingers.

A note about the new PNW ferns stickers is that they have clear backing, so the white peels completely away to reveal only the fern itself.

More info:
🌿 Transparent Premium PET Permanent adhesive
🌿 2-4 year outdoor life with glossy laminate only
🌿 PVC free product
🌿 dishwasher safe, water resistant

Good morning.
Something...festive.
A curtain draped border contains a spider with hands, a face and long hair. A sword and Knight helmet sit atop the frame looking heraldic. There may be little vampires flying about in gothic windows on each side.

It has been a little over six months now since we said good-bye to Freyja, but I still get a little pang in my chest when I realise the shadow I saw under the table or in the corner of the sofa isn't her.

Chaos gremlins found the Christmas tree!!! 🌲🐈‍⬛

My black cat Sophie absolutely demolished our fake Christmas tree last year, so this card was definitely inspired by her mischief haha ❤️

Artists… learn how to say thank you to a compliment, or, I would love feedback if you have any! Rather than, oh I’m awful, my art sucks.
It’s… actually not modest, it puts everyone in a weird spot when you degrade yourself, and I REALLY GET THaTS HARD!

It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

Your hands are covered in little men. And the little men can make you sick if you don’t give them a bath. Sometimes they make other people sick too. Please give the little men a bath! I’m not crazy! Just listen to me! Bathe the little men on your hands! This is real! Get the men wet, you fools!

Wait I thought we all stopped using Spotify because of the ICE ads and how they don’t pay artists for songs and also all the AI songs, what’s with all the wrapped posts.

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

a sign people really want a feature and find it good is when companies make turning it off a 12 part process (firefox), require registry modifications (microsoft) or contact support to reveal the real off switch instead of their two decoy toggles (google) so they can claim people don't turn it off 📈

Coloured illustration of a tiefling with dark green skin and horns sitting on a thick tree branch above a lake. They have long flowing black hair with blue accents, and they're wearing a decorated top alongside wide pants and a slit skirt, all in lavender tones. The same lavender colour can be found in the flowers on their hairpiece and earrings, as well as in various flowers in the foreground. A full moon is illuminating the piece from above and reflecting in the ocean below. Text on the image says Artshare

Ink work on paper, the demon is slowly coming to life with pen hatching and stippling. He gives off a drummer in a metal band vibe, totally chill but your parents hate him.

Each chapter of Gildenhammer I narrate for the book club, my voice and delivery breaks a little more. Sure, I could edit it and dozens of takes, but why not give my closest readers a proper expression of how thoroughly the process of writing dismantles me until nothing but a fervid rasp remains?

does anyone know if there are new tariffs on original works of art in the US from the EU (actual handmade works of art 9701 customs code)? I cannot find a straight answer

CBP website says they are still duty free, but i've found info saying they are taxed at 15%?

Illustration of a chimera-like being; her head and torso are that of a human with long flowing hair whilst the rest of her body is that of a grouse or pheasant, covered in fur and wings wide open; the tail is snake-like. She stands in darkness, a faint golden halo around her head and torso
