It's been awhile since I drew myself! Thanks to @knittingpea.bsky.social for the template 🩷

#starterpacknoai
An illustration showing AJ's self portrait posing within a plastic package like a doll. They are wearing a black snail T-shirt and black wide-leg pants. In smaller casing on the plastic packaging, there is an embroidery piece of a clown, a yellow water bottle, printmaking tools, a sketchbook, and Ramona the Cat lying on her back. Text at the top reads "AJ Starter Pack". In the top corner is a crossed out "AI".

I'm gonna tell Ruben Gallego again that he needs to drop any and all support for crypto, or I'm not voting for him again.
Text reads: "Rolling Stone reached out to Gallego to ask if the sensor thought it was appropriate to hold a fundraising retreat with one of the major fundraisers of a pro-crypto Super PAC while also serving as ranking member of the Senate subcommittee overseeing the industry; the senator declined to comment."

@samanthabeart.bsky.social is wonderful, I love when nonbinary folks like me make things I love.

QRT with the piece you're proudest of for 2024!

This one! It's not the most detailed or most time consuming piece, but it's a rare mix of fan art and *feelings* art, and I learned a lot about how and why I create.

Plus it's in @neilnewbon.bsky.social 's house now so I'll never shut up about that.
A hand embroidered portrait of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. He is in profile, with white embroidered hair and grayscale features. The fabric is painted with gouache for shading. The background is painted purple, with infernal text emulating his scars.
