We're celebrating these glorious behinds today with the Stream Ink prompt 'Butt' by the amazing @brandybingham.bsky.social !

They're very good friends, aren't they? 😜

#art #painting #frogs #watercolour #limitedcolourchallenge #streamink

Photo of a watercolour painting placed against a dark wooden desk. The artwork is of three frogs stacked on top of each other, two of them are green and the middle one is more brown toned. Two of them are sticking out their tongues. The artwork is placed on the desk alongside the three tubes of watercolour paint and the two brushes used to create it.

Cos I’m an optimist, I’ve added these three startling rabbit type things as original artworks to my new ‘rodents’ gallery (previously squirrels). The squirrels are still there. Plz share if poss

Startling red vermillion top half of a possibly expired long jackrabbit type thing, expressive oil pastel drawing

Very interesting multi textured alive drawing of a hopping long rabbit jumping over a skull, rabbit has a red eye, lots of red and green

A big headed brown long hare like rabbit, interesting long limb, expressive marks, black lines, green and blue

Frog and Toad Bot @frogandtoadbot.bsky.social · 59m

Toad put the thin button in his pocket. He was very angry. He jumped up and down and screamed, “The whole world is covered in buttons, and not one of them is mine!”

An anguished Toad jumps up and down, beating his brow in desperate fury while Frog looks on, dismayed.

From "A Lost Button"
In *Frog and Toad Are Friends*

Cthulhububu

Dunno what to tell you… it’s a Lububu x Cthulhu. Just a splattery digital ink drawing of a lububu-shaped thing except with bat wings where the bunny ears would be and with five little tentacles hanging down from the bottom of its head and scales instead of fur. I hate it too don’t yell at me.

Liberals and leftists are fundamentally playing different games. Yes, a progressive tax structure would be great. I love free public transit and bike lanes and being a nerd about the minutia of traffic laws too.

But the rules don't matter actually because the game is on fire and this isn't a game.

So if I see an account which RTs my stuff and only ever seems to angrily post about US politics in a specific way, I'll block it.
It's nothing against the account (though I highly suspect they're a bot based on several criteria), but I just can't deal with all this in my TL.

To be crystal fucking clear

Artists don't owe you your kink,
don't owe you performance,
and don't owe you an explanation as to why.

Even if they've drawn things similar
Even if they've drawn things you consider 'worse'

It isn't judgement of you.
It isn't judgement of anyone.

Respect others ffs

I didn't think I should have to say this, but having a "Won't Draw" list on a commission sheet is NOT "being an anti"
Actively drawing something is very different than politely ignoring it, and refusing to draw some taboos is a PERFECTLY REASONABLE BOUNDARY
