Through the eyes of my loved ones I saw Delicate Arch for what it really was—an incredible natural wonder. Standing tall against the sky a symbol of the desert’s beauty, fragility, and strength.

Please! Vector is very important for commercial work and design, we cannot help that Adobe illustrator's initials are like that

Panda @pandaparfait.bsky.social · Feb 20

This just came up so for anyone who doesn't know - .AI files are *a vector file type*, they are Adobe Illustrator's native file type. Files ending with .ai don't have anything to do with /that/ kind of AI 🫶 Pls don't call out an artist bc you see them working on an .ai file

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

I'll also scream this till the day I die: If anyone doesn't want to share how they did something get the hell away from them. If you feel so threatened by someone else knowing how you made something you might not be as good as you think you are at art. Ask questions, have conversations!!

I think there’s a misconception that you have to spend a lot to look polished, and it’s just not true! My display probably costed less than 200$ all told, but I put a lot of time into making it all (fabricating, sewing, etc) so it LOOKS expensive. I make all my own prints and don’t sell any fanart—

I want to chat about this really crazy expectation that has absolutely EXPLODED in today's artist alleys, and I suppose art in general
I was seeing the set ups of folks spaces, and as lovely as they are, the bar is HIGH for anyone to table these days, what happened?

I took a moment to draw, to clear my mind in between projects. It was cathartic to create something just for me, something free from the pressure of work or expectations.

Being soft is not the same
as being spineless.
Being joyful is not the same
as being delusional.
Rest is not the same
as giving up.
Peacefulness
is not the same
as cowardice.

Your kind is as important as your furious.
