Taking a big swing this January on the new apps; the big return of my Monster Mash January Challenge! Please join me in making some art based on 31 of the fiercest femmes in cinema history! I’m a chiller on the challenges; all media welcome (no AI!). I’ll make some low-impact lists, too.

The only way we're getting ahead. New hand-signed large and small prints out now, while supplies last. ❤

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.

But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities.

Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

People really called it when they said 'you're not mad that Tiktok is a surveillance tool, your mad that it's not YOUR surveillance tool.'

Oh no I did that thing where I looked at too many really good artists' drawings at once and it went from inspiring to paralyzing. Time to crawl back into my hyperbaric chamber.

Spread this like wildfire now. General strikes work.
thehousered.bsky.social C.M. Lewis @thehousered.bsky.social · 24d
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

Where do we sign?

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

#PortfolioDay!!
I’m Ryan, a traditional artist learning to love digital. I love folklore and pop culture, and love examining each through the lens of the other.

#RyanCicak #Artsky #MonsterPinup #FrankensteinGDT #TuraSatana
A drawing of Elizabeth Harlander from GDT’s Frankenstein as a more monstrous Bride. She is backlit by lightning, in her wedding dress soaked through with blood. She has blue skin and milky eyes, with white streaks in her long red hair. A digital drawing of Tura Satana as Varla in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! A woman with severe black bangs, wearing black gloves and a leather catsuit, partially unzipped. A thick demon woman looking over her shoulder at the viewer. She has ragged wings, red skin, horns, a spade tail and yellow eyes. She is framed by a heart. A drawing of a mermaid where the lower half of her body is a crocodile. She is framed by a square with negative-space bubbles.

Hey, fellow Southern Californians -

Please amplify this wide and far.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?
Here's a photo of a lovely tortoiseshell kitty with my hand resting on her back.

Day Twelve: Annie Wilkes. RIP Annie, you would have loved the Snyder Cut.

A traditional illustration of Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes from the movie Misery. She is looking over her shoulder with disdain. She is framed by the pig doorstop that ends her life in the movie.

Day Eleven: Lady Sylvia Marsh from Lair of the White Worm.
This movie rules so hard, and the Lady Marsh is an all-time great!

A traditional illustration of Lady Sylvia Marsh from Lair of the White Worm. A woman with scales for hair and two long snake fangs hisses fearsomely. She is framed by a historical drawing of a serpent.

I finally finished a portrait of my sweet Harvi Dent, who passed last year. I miss her so much.
A digital painting of a tortoiseshell cat, whose right half of her face is mostly black, and whose left side is mostly orange. She is beautiful.

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.

obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone

For This, For Everything, Forever.
White lettering that says “FUCK ICE.” It is surrounded by two branching, thorny designs. The background is deep blue and looks like melting ice.

Day Nine: Gozer. We’re back with the first new piece in the series! Gozer is one of those instantly recognizable designs I learned a lot about while trying to draw.

An illustration of Gozer from the first Ghostbusters movie. She is turning her head and screaming, framed by a triangle.
