I'm hoping in 2026 to make more finished pieces and show them publicly. It was really good for me to be more private art-wise in 2025 whilst I reflected & explored more what I want to make and how.
I've def not *done* exploring of course, but I've gained more mental/emotional stability with my art.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

My other art conundrum currently is really enjoying making digital art but having to stare at a screen all day for my day job... staring at a screen in my spare time too is hard to stomach. 😣

I want to make more art that has a narrative, but BOY do I hate drawing people / humanoids. I've tried to learn to love it but I just can't.
Maybe there's a way to make it fun but I've not figured it out yet.

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

I get the impression that bluesky art posts tend to be mostly digital art and Instagram art posts tend to be mostly traditional art.
I hope bluesky starts showing a combo of both cos I still feel like I can't stop using IG completely because of it.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
