I think your art would work well at Renaissance fairs - i have found the smaller ones work well for me as i can camp in my tent, so don't have to pay for hotel. They tend to not be terribly expensive either.

Work in progress- several celtic styled predator animals and birds going from left to right. Largest to smallest. The birds curl back to the left. Knotwork around and through the animals.

It will be big! Though haven't 100% decided on just what media to use.

Two stylized Orcas (killer whales) holding each other's tails in an oval. Celtic style knotwork around them colored blue like the water they dance in.

Looking to the new year to see what shows I'll be at. In the mean time, enjoy this new piece!

Colored pencil art - features two goats. An adult doe facing to the left with her head turned slightly toward the viewer and a kid behind her resting its head on her back. In the background are boards and hay. The goat and kid are in warmer cream and brown colors while the background boards are mostly cool grey colors with bird poop streaks.

The goats are done!

White/grey and brown dog (somewhat husky-looking) with floppy ears. Has a stuffed hedgehog toy on his head between his ears. Portrait from shoulders up. He is a very Good Boy.

I'm not ignoring the news, but here is a dog with a toy on it's head that I drew... it was a Christmas present, so I figure it is safe to share though I finished it last September :)

There is an irony to the fact I said a couple years ago that AI is going to become a testing ground for csam. At that point I figured the companies would either have to admit it uses real photos or argue it's OK because it isn't real kids. The irony is I made the prediction on Twitter, which I left.

Work in progress of two goats - one adult and one kid. Adult laying down, kid resting it's head on her back. Background and head/neck of adult is done. Body of adult and head of kid just have colors blocked in.

I kept taking a picture when I was "done for the day" leaning back and then doing more. My stomach is growling now so I should probably eat something.

And so figured they were her favorite and bought them. This was after the second (maybe third?) date.

I once told a guy I needed some alone time (finals week, needed to study) he asked if he could be with me while I was alone.
Friend's ex showed up at her house two days after a date with a bag of chips and bottle of juice. He had gone through her trash outside and found the empty bag and bottle

Work in progress in colored pencil. Two uncolored goats in the foreground.  Background has three light brown boards running horizontal over three weathered grey boards. Some bird poop on the boards. Bottom horizontal board only partially blocked in with color.

More board, now with poop! Slowly working through the background.

Work in progress with the boards of the food bunker in the background partially done. Two goats are sketched in the foreground without other color added. An upside down photo also sits on the image because the artist forgot to take it off before taking a picture and is too lazy to remove it to take another.

Yeah, I'm going to be board for awhile on this piece.

With his issues I'd say you are making a reasonable decision. Sometimes just because we CAN do something doesn't always mean we SHOULD.

Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.

I am quite frankly desperate to make ends meet this month. We are $900 short on rent alone despite everything, and could really use any help we can get. I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here.
