My greatest weakness as a designer is that every 4 months I find one (1) font that I want to put on everything

I’m cat-sitting for a friend and the cats haven’t accepted me quite yet which means that my tablet bag’s presence on the office chair earned me this look of pure vexation from Pepper.

I took an electric bike through the snowstorm today because I had errands to run and scarier than the lack of snow tires and visibility was that I passed two folks filming with an ENG camera and it was pointed directly at me.

Pothos Lover
Illustration of a nude woman standing in profile, cradling a potted pothos plant the vines of which drape over her shoulder. The woman is full figured with a more prominent stomach and visible fat folds on her back. She has wavy red hair that is tied up in a messy bun. She hold the pot in one arm and her free hand wraps around one pothos leaf which she gazes at with a small, fond smile.

Yule lasts until January 1st. As far as I'm aware, birds also last until January 1st. Merry Yule, birders.
An Illustration of a young elf cradling a couple of cardinals. The elf has their back turned partially to the viewer, but their face is in profile. They have medium brown skin and dark brown hair in two braids tucked around their neck. They wear a pointed green had adorned with a red ribbon, a cream shirt beneath a blue and pink quilted vest, short blue trousers, red and white striped socks, and chunky brown boots with red laces tied at the ankles. Their hands are cupped in front of them to hold two cardinals, one male (all red with a black mask) and one female (pink with a red beak and red wing tips). Another male cardinal perches on their left shoulder, a female on their right. A male cardinal hovers in front of them, wings outstretched, clutching a green mistletoe branch with white berries in its feet. The elf and cardinals stand on a light blue background contained within a dark green arch frame decorated with gold stars, mistletoe, fir branches, and blue candles with tall red and white flames. Red ribbons wrap loosely around the candles. The top of the arch reads "Merry Yule" in a gold font. A male cardinal sits on the right hand slope of the arch. An Illustration of a young elf carrying a snow goose. The elf is facing the viewer at a 3/4 angle. They have light skin and medium-brown hair that is short and messy, curling around their ears and flaring out from their neck. They're wearing a red pointed hat adorned with a yellow ribbon, a cream dress beneath a long, pink and blue quilted short sleeved cloak, red trousers, green socks, and brown Nutukas (a fur boot of Sámi origin - the toes of the boot are pointed and curve upward). The Nutakas' ankle trim matches the elf's quilted cloak. The elf has one arm wrapped beneath the chest of a white snow goose. The goose has one orange foot, an orange beak, and a blue ribbon tied in a bow around its neck. It has been drawn to look very plush. The elf's eyes are closed as they smile in contentment. The elf and goose stand on a light blue background contained within a navy blue arched frame that is decorated with gold stars, green branches of mistletoe with white berries, red candles with tall red and white flames, and green fir branches. Light blue ribbons wrap around the top left slope and half way up the right-hand pillar of the arched frame. The flat bottom of the arch reads "Merry Yule" in gold letters. An illustration of a young elf sitting with four grey partridge. The elf is on their knees in profile to the viewer. They have light skin and dark brown hair that flows in waves down to their mid-back. They wear a pointed, navy blue hat adorned with a dark green ribbon, a cream shirt with slightly puffy shoulders, a pink and blue quilted skirt, navy blue socks, and brown loafers. Their left hand is outstretched to hold a perching grey partridge while their right hand pulls at on of the ends of a red ribbon tied in a bow around the partridge's neck. All of the grey partridges are taupe with orange faces, tan wings, cream underbellies, and dark brown beaks and legs. The grey partridge in the elf's hand, as well as the partridge standing behind her (also bedecked with a bow) have dark brown patches on their stomachs. There is a partridge perched on the elf's shoulder, and another two in their lap, all three of whom sit so that their feet are not visible and their bodies appear more rounded. The partridge in their lap nearest the viewer also wears a red bow. The elf and grey partridge sit on a light blue background contained within a red arched frame that is decorated with gold stars, green mistletoe with white berries, green fir branches, and blue candles with tall red and white flames. dark green ribbon wraps loosely around the bottom right edge and the top of the left column of the frame. The top of the arch reads "Merry Yule" in gold letters.

Making coffee stickers specifically to piss off my fellow baristas.
A black and white illustration of a skeleton sitting on a tombstone holding a mug out of which floats steam shaped like a blobby ghost. The tombstone is crooked and reads “Decaf or Death” then “Let Me Sip in Peace” in an all caps serif font. The top of the stone is adorned with a cartoonish skull with angel wings. The two sections of text are divided by a decoration of coffee plant leaves and berries. The ground is lumpy and strewn with plants and stout mushrooms. The background of black has a scribbled texture. Four black line illustrations of various coffee brewing methods with a colour scheme that includes yellow, navy, red, brown, teal, and very light blue. In the top left, a black label reads “The best kind of coffee…” in a hand written font. The word “Best” is big and underlined. In the bottom right, a second label finishes the sentence: “is the coffee in your cup!!”. The word “Your” is big and underlined. The top left illustration is of a clear cup of espresso on the tray of an espresso machine. A hand extends from the left holding a pitcher into which a steam wand extends from the espresso machine. The top right illustration is of a cow print coffee mug sitting on a scale. Behind it sit a carton of cream and a coffee bag. Above the mug a hand holds a coffee dripper by its handle. The scale’s screen reads “OK!” In a digital font. The bottom left illustration is of a hand tilting a spoon of brown instant coffee into a mug adorned with cartoon fish. Behind the mug there is a large jar of instant coffee with a peeling label and a dish of sugar cubes. The bottom right illustration is of a hand holding a clear coffee carafe filled with coffee over three diner mugs. Each mug is adorned with a winking cartoon doughnut and the mug closet to the viewer has the handle of a spoon sticking out of it. The mugs in each of the four illustrations emit blobby, light blue steam.

From September: the single prompt I was able to complete for swordtember - ‘wings’
An illustration in black lines on a yellow background. On the left - the full image: a thin, nude angel posed to resemble a sword. Their arms are outstretched, reaching to either side and holding hands with an obscured figure behind them. Their body mimics the handle and hilt of a sword while their wings extend upwards, imitating a sword’s blade. To the right - a long panel showing a closer view of the Angel: they have short hair and lean their head to the left, their eyes closed. Beneath - another panel showing a closeup of the other side of the “sword”: the same angel with a pained expression on their face as they glance downwards. An illustratio in black lines on a yellow background. Top panel - a thin, nude angel, drawn from the waist up. They have short, cropped curly hair and look down to the right wearing a pained expression. Their arms are open, reaching behind them to hold hands with an obscured figure. Second panel - a detailed closeup of a slim pair of feathery wings. Third panel - similar to the first, but this angel leans their head back and left with their eyes closed.

My single ko-fi/patreon tier is called "A Firm Handshake" and this is the goofy Coleman Smith Tarot style banner I made for it.
A rectangular illustration of a handshake with thin black lines and muted colours. Two white hands emerge from swirling grey clouds on opposite sides of the illustration and meet in the centre. The hand extending from the left wears a rope-like ring on its ring finger and has a tattoo of an oblong star on its pinkie. The hands are surrounded by a white glow and yellow, five pointed stars. At the bottom of the illustration there are green mountains surrounding a blue lake. A texture has been added to the image to make it look worn and white-spotted.

From April
Two full body self portrait cartoons of Marin on a blue background. The colours are flat and the black outlines are thin with some areas filled with black to indicate shadows in the hair and clothing folds. Marin has short, messy brown hair in both portraits. On the left next to a light yellow label reading "Late Winter", they are stretching their arms above their head and grimacing. They're wearing clear frame glasses, a large green crop top over a dark brown bralette, orange trousers and yellow socks. On the right, next to a light yellow label reading "Early Spring" they are standing lazily, rubbing their neck with their eyes closed and one hand in their coat pocket. They are wearing gold octagonal glasses, a light blue denim chore coat, a cream shirt with a black graphic of the Empress tarot card, green trousers and socks, chunky black shoes, and a black satchel purse on their left shoulder. Small, black line graphics of stars, circles, triangles, and squiggles decorate the area around both portraits' head and shoulders. Two full body self portrait cartoons of Marin on a blue background.

Everyone’s asking “how do I apologize to my cat/dog for accidentally stepping on them?” What I want to know is how do I apologize to my plants for not watering them during a depressive episode
