This original piece, English Robin in Winter, is one of my absolute favourties! You can either order it through Artisans Cooperative or you can DM me. It is approximately $65 CAN depending on if it is a drop off or I mail it.
The price may be slightly different on the website.

An embroidered piece of a whimsical cartoon like English robin. The robin it wearing a variegated purple’knit’ hat a scarf and holding a green cup with a white lid. Steam appears to be coming out of the cup. The robin is wearing dark brown boots with ‘fur’ trim in white and there appears to be snow on the ground. The material it is embroidered on it off white cotton with printed snowflakes.

Duffy and Sussy from Kpop Demon Hunters, depicted in a faux-ink painting illustration. Duffy, a blue tiger with red and yellow eyes, hangs from a pine tree branch with its lower body dangling in a futile manner. Sussy, a magpie with three yellow eyes and a gat, sits above, perched with indifference.
The caption reads: "HANG IN THERE | 화이팅! (fighting!)"

Carmine 🖤✨❤️ @carminedeville.bsky.social · Sep 13

Invoking the old Bsky law where I can sweetly ask for shares for my birthday. 🥳

I'm Carmine, I love all things midcentury-modern and macabre, and I draw the worst, gayest women you know doing hot girl shit - plus the occasional comic, concept sketch, and character design. 🖤💀❤️

OC, Carmen Romero
Digital artwork of a woman in lingerie and heels posed confidently in an antique upholstered armchair. In one black, clawed hand she loosely holds a cigarette holder and lit cigarette, which trails smoke across the top of the image, and her other hand is draped over the armrest. A Columbian rainbow boa curls up her arm and around her shoulders, and a second set of shadowy black arms pose eerily behind her. The image is lit with iconic film noir slats of light and shadow, and a large, theatrical black hat casts much of her face into darkness, except for one shining golden eye visible beneath the brim.

"I Told You I'd Consume You"
OC, Victoria Sweet
Digital painting of a deathly pale woman with long dark hair, multiple curling horns tipped in gold, and fangs backlit by a full moon against a starless night sky. She ecstatically holds a fresh human heart in one clawed hand as the fanged mouth in her palm bites into it, spilling blood down her arm. Golden light pulses at the center of the heart and sparkles through the blood rivulets. Another mouth lined with jagged teeth gapes open at the center of her external ribcage, and she holds her translucent, partially skeletal bat-like wings at a low, casual angle.

OC, La Calavera (belongs to @dapperdinobot)
Colored thighs-up digital sketch of a Hispanic woman dressed stylishly in all black with a dark purple belt and purple feathers on her hat. Her face, neck, and part of her chest is painted to resemble a skeleton, and her eyes burn red from the shadows beneath the hat's wide brim. She poses against a grey background with a smoking pistol in each clawed black hand. Wisps of smoke and shadows swirl around her.

OCs, Lucita and Zoya
Digital sketch with rough digital watercolor in greyscale and pink. Image depicts two women standing beneath a black umbrella against a grey, rainy background.
Lucita, the Latina woman holding the umbrella, wears a long black coat over a suit and leans on a silver-handled cane. She stands poised with her chin and eyebrows lifted.
Zoya, the blonde woman, is very pale and wears a baby pink coat ruffed in white fur and round, rose tinted sunglasses. She huddles close to Lucita as she looks out into the distance, one hand on her companion's arm and the other laid loosely but intimately around her shoulders.

Not having work-safe shoes can be a barrier to employment. 700 pairs were just donated #Ontario

The cost of appropriate footwear can be a barrier for many breaking into the workforce, but a large donation to Windsor-Essex non-profits is expected to help ease the burden.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
