Everyone who has commissioned me, block Lynxbriight on your social media, toyhouse, tumblr, dA if you're on there. They've made a habit out of tracing commissioned work I've done, especially of anthros and big cats, and making money off it in some cases. Don't say anything to them, just block.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Day 9 for #repostober (I skipped some days)

This weird one is based off a dream someone had. They said the figure had deer horns & glowing eyes but didn’t have an evil vibe. Art was done in with graphite & charcoal powder + digital cols.

I'm back from maternity leave and in desperate need of some work. If you're looking for some fun colourful cover designs I'm your guy! Here are some book covers I loved illustrating
Contact me at [email protected]
See portfolio link below

Shares & some reassuring words would be much appreciated

A digital illustrated book cover of Cruise Life - Raining Cats and Dogs by Reese Eschmann. It shows a Black girl chasing dogs and cats on the deck of a cruise while her big brother tries to catch up while holding a cat in his arms.

A digital illustrated book cover for the title Unfadeable by Maurice Broaddus. It portrays a mixed Black girl walking by with her pit bull pet, a bridge is seen overhead her, with some cranes in the background and some key characters in the book watches her from a distance.

A digital illustrated book cover titled The Season of Styx Malone
It shows a Black boy with a cap and sunglasses on, her smirks to the viewer, and within his glasses you see the reflection of 2 other Black boys, one smiling back at him with enthusiasm while the other smiles more hesitantly.

A digital illustrated book cover of a picture book titled Bessie the Motorcycle Queen.
It shows Bessie Stringfield on her iconic Hogs (Harleys) against a backdrop of the Grand Canyon.

I might end up talking about this graph all day.

I think one thing Dems need to realize is that "Americans" are not buying into the "cities on fire" lies of this admin.

It's JUST Republicans. So if you're a governor of a solidly blue state, or a blue-city mayor, the national story is NOT YOURS.

Gallup poll showing a wild divergence in "is crime rising" over the past two years, w GOP at 90, independents at 68, Dems at 29.

I usually don't judge too much, I get that not everyone is fully in the loop for everything. If you support JKR now, we are done.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Kriss Kristofferson took such good care of Sinead O Connor and I love him for it

And I’m also always amused by the Flanderization of Willie Nelson because he’s

Just been a pain the collective ass of people for years

Because he’s SO pleasant and a cornerstone of country and such a n OG hippie

Sprites of a little clown cat doll with a pink white and blue colour pallet. First pose is just neutral standing with arms by his side, second he looks grumpy with his arms crossed, third arms up, fourth hands on cheeks, fifth head in hands and sixth shrugging.
