Coming to @everydayoriginal.bsky.social on Wednesday! "Silver and Roses"
A friend of mine has the most stunning rose garden and every year I try and take photos of her dogs and mine with them, this is based on the result of those photos, just magical dogs and magical flowers.

Good for Reuters for changing their headline. Pressure works. Grok did not do this. Elon Musk did.

Another card for Magic:The Gathering

This piece was fun, a bright and comic moment.
Full of Art Deco and pastry. Painting that croissant was so relaxing.

If you buy a hot snake on a whim, you deserve what’s going to happen to you, but the snake really doesn’t.
I’m learning today that much like clownfish after Finding Nemo, there is now a boom in sales of tree vipers after the release of Zootopia 2.

I’ve curated another starter pack, this time to make it easier to find artists working in the illustration and comics fields! (If you qualify to be on this list but are not on it let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!)

I’ve met a fair number of dudes at dog parks who are like “yes, my dog is one-eighth mighty Alaskan gray wolf” and I’ve nodded politely at what is very clearly a Labradoodle.

The lessons for heavy DIYers to take from this, btw:

If your doctor says your insurance won't approve a newly-released drug you really want to try, don't despair. Ask them if they're willing to do a "peer to peer" if you draft the justification for them to edit to save time.

I hate it when that happens
Found the chart! It was on Twitter, username was @ DelKittyy but I'm not sure if they were the original maker or not.

Drawing again has made me realize how often I’d see a piece of art I admired and I’d think “That’s so cool, I could never do that,”

when I couldn’t have any idea of what style or vibe I’d cultivate if I just kept practicing. If I’d even want to make something like that once I’d learned how.
