•I craft intricate ink drawings of mythological and macabre subjects to pay homage to both the exquisite beauty and profound depths of the human experience, where the lines between wonder and darkness converge.•

A bold, gothic-style illustration by Tawny Fritz featuring a woman with flowing hair, large curved horns, and bat-like wings. She gazes confidently over her shoulder, wearing a shredded garment with sharp, organic details. The background includes a stark red circle against a black and white composition.

an intricate black-and-white illustration. It depicts a woman with flowing hair and an elegant gown, walking amidst a surreal, dark, and twisted landscape filled with abstract tree-like structures. Her expression is serene, and the composition evokes a sense of mystery and dreamlike wonder. The background features a starry sky, enhancing the ethereal atmosphere.

A highly detailed black-and-white illustration of an underwater scene. It features a serene, otherworldly figure with flowing hair that intertwines like currents. The figure resembles a mermaid, with scales covering parts of their body and intricate tentacle-like elements wrapping around their form. They are surrounded by jellyfish with long, elegant tendrils, adding a sense of fluid motion. The background is starkly black, enhancing the contrast of the white lines and emphasizing the depth and mystery of the underwater environment. The artwork evokes a sense of calm, wonder, and the beauty of the deep sea.

Inflatable costume are tactically GENIUS for protesting.

Protects your identity, protects you from pepper spray, conceals your body so you're harder to grab. Bonus: hilarity.

I don't think this administration understands what they're up against with GenZ and Gen Alpha protestors.

I have a Gen Z teen. They are SO unserious. You can't intimidate them bc they'll just laugh in your face while wearing a dinosaur comfy or whatever.

One more before I log off for the evening:

Just a reminder that the special price on the Artist Edition of Shackling ends tomorrow morning! So jump on that, lovers of doodled huts!

Little graphite doodles on a white background. The doodles are all different shapes and sizes and styles of chicken-legged witch huts. They're pretty cute.

It's really really really really difficult to maintain compassion and empathy in a world that continues to try to choke us out.

But letting them change me means letting them win, so I will remain Radical.

It's October, you know what that means! Twice weekly viewings of Practical Magic versus our normal schedule of once a month.

Once daily if we have the morbs.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

I really thought when we entered the era of dragons, it would at least feature cool, fire breathing dragons but no. Instead of Smaug and Drogon, we get Musk and Bezos.

Hey Gmail,

You have no idea why I'm searching for something so you aren't helping by listing the results in "most relevant" order. Just keep it chronological and be quiet.

Disrespectfully,
Probably everyone

I have closed my online stores. Between tariffs making product more expensive and shipping price hikes, it has become unsustainable for me to maintain online stores for the time being.

I am tired and angry.

I wanted to reply/quote post to someone who says pizza and sushi weird with my own versions of how I say them weird too in an attempt to like engage about silly pronunciations but all that was disabled so I'm assuming there's some kind of major drama around silly pronunciations of pizza and sushi?
