Made this opossum bag back in June and I am in love!! I still need to line it but this was one of my first projects so I learned a lot! Eyes are a bit smaller than directed but I think it adds to the charm

You can get the pattern here! Highly recommend! 🥰

I adore your drawing of Elisabeth Sparkle! Do you have prints of that available for purchase?

Thanks so much!! Reading your message made my day :'^) I actually was waiting to hear back if I was accepted to Inprint before replying because I've heard good things but unfortunately I wasn't-- if you let me know your preferred printing platform I can absolutely upload it though so you can get a print! 😳

Happy Turkey Day! I hope you all who celebrate are showered with joy from loved ones!

This day can cause as much pain for some as it does connection for others, please consider donating to an indigenous charity such as the Navajo & Hopi Families Relief Fund or consider gifting loved ones from native owned small businesses. (Feel free to promo your favorites on this post as well)

This scene hit me like a truck...

I know its late and "Oh god he's making another text post on his art blog" blah blah whatever but I've been going through Bluesky all night leaving nice comments on art i enjoyed-- and I came back and saw a really heart felt post about an artist sharing their work with others.

The TL;DR was that art online is oftentimes taken and stripped of the artists original meaning, and then shared, altered, with that piece missing: only a reflection of the viewers perception. (Like when more serious art gets memed on or w/e) The example was like two cat-girls labeled as addiction and enabler, and then being joked with as "me and who?"

It broke my heart to see that a lot of immediate responses were "then don't share your art if you can't handle that" and "i am an artist who can no longer share all their personal art because i cannot handle the image being warped or mistreated"

Like... Art is a conversation and oftentimes an expression of self. Sure you can see your own interpretation of it, everyone does, but art is made by individuals. Real people.

No one likes having their words twisted to mean something they didn't intend, so why is it different if the artist makes clear what they are trying to express in their art?

I guess the point I'm trying to make is: respect the boundaries artists set for their work. Try to see from their perspectives, and respect what they create as you would an individual you would meet. If they're fine with you goofing on their messages, whatever, it doesn't matter, have fun. Or if you want to clown, create adaptive work of your own that expresses your own view. But if they're expressing themselves and ask for the space, do a kindness and respect the boundary. They're letting you into their "home," you do not have to enter but when you are a guest be considerate of their space.
