There's no such thing as a skill threshold for selling art, it's only a matter of if you're ready to run a business in some capacity, and if you're prepared for turning a creative hobby into a job

I just had a full-day migraine yesterday myself, so I feel for you extra hard right now @.@

My recent favorite is pickled peppadew peppers! They're tangy-sweet with some spice, and they go well with rich/meaty toppings. I was able to find them at my local chain grocery store, so I think they won't be hard to find (hopefully!)

Finished streaming! Thanks for hanging out, and I hope y'all have a good weekend~

Streaming! Working on sketch orders and chipping at the backlog. Should be a variety of stuff drawn, nearly all NSFW but nothing too 'extreme' I don't think.

No mic today, just vibing and focusing on art while I listen to music ❤️

Pet pic spam signal, ACTIVATE. @asivilezee.bsky.social is a sweetheart and having a rough time, she could use some cuteness.

A photo of a cat on a bed wearing a medical cone and looking annoyed. The cat is white with orange spots, and his neck is so long.

This is meant to be a traced sketch of a photo of a cat in a medical cone, but instead it looks like a seal having an existential crisis.

What a coincidence, I was just sharing this sketch of my late beloved cat (Jelly) with someone else, so I have it on hand. I tried to trace over a photo of him wearing a cone and hating it, and when I removed the photo layer... wowzers 😂

Best wishes for you while you get through this!

Stop, I can only fit so many ideas in my head!!

one very basic research tip I have is if you're reading something that includes an interesting quote from another source, try and read the full context of that quote! There's usually way more good stuff surrounding it!!

Thank you for the birthday wishes yesterday! It was indeed a wonderful time, I read a lot of books and ate way too many tater tots.

I finally started reading Dune! I also skipped around to some other stuff just for fun yesterday, but Dune is the main focus currently. I'm liking it so far, it's a lot more sci-fi than I typically read!

It's me birfday~ (sort of; no leap year this year)

I worked really hard this week, so it feels extra good to get to relax and indulge a bit today! I'm going to have a lay about and read as many books as I please, I'm positively grinning in excitement 📚💕

I never even thought to question that about my license. I think my brain just expanded.

Doodled a quick thing between comms

Downside being that I've logged hundreds of ours and still never gotten to year 3... >w>;

Hearing about the way you play Stardew Valley fundamentally changed my own play style, and I've loved it more than ever! The slow time mod is my favorite bit, I love getting to fully relax and play at my own pace.

Alright, today hasn't gone to plan AT ALL, but I don't care, I'm streaming anyways. Mostly working on a BDSM piece I've got going. No mic today, just vibing and focusing on art.

I like to think this is how the models get paid after each photoshoot

Oooh, that's a tough one...

I think the old set where you did magical girl poses with a mop handle is the one I come back to the most, but specifically this one. I think I've (accidentally) used it for multiple sketches at this point, lol

I just read Banned Books Club! It was really good, I learned a lot and related to more than I expected.

I'm always looking to build out my collection of packs from you, so I'll add it to my radar regardless XD
