Cover art for OFYR's, now Kiss From a Ghost, debut album Disconnected.

If you miss the sound of late 90's and 00's melancholy rock with that gritty ethereal feel like early Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins, give them a listen.

Typography and cover design by Laís Tomaz.

I don't think I ever managed to post anything on the 1st, hoping this year allows me some consistency, so here's an inaugural doodle of my favorite child 🔥☀️

Well, Nina's gone. I was hoping we'd get at least another xmas with her, but she had to be put down on the 22nd. She fell in the yard and couldn't get up from the pain, which even morphine wasn't handling anymore. It was a bleak xmas, fit for the year.

Slivers of good news though, I did manage to consult with an arrhythmia specialist, and while I still need to get more tests done next year, he said he's 99% sure it's not congenital and won't need surgical intervention, which is such a massive relief.

And since Nina's treatment won't accumulate anymore, I managed to negotiate with the vet clinic to extend me more installments, which by a hair's breath eased my bills enough I won't need to refinance or get a loan.

So, thank you again for everyone who helped me out. Some of you gave me such generous tips it single-handedly covered the specialist and labs and I'm incalculably grateful.

I hope next year is, if not measurably better, at least perceptibly gentler.

But really I hope it's just fucking better.

Everyone have a great last spin on the solar orbital period ✌️

btw while people continue to fight the system don't forget about Undue Medical Debt (formerly RIP Medical Debt), a charity that buys and forgives medical debt. on average a donation of $10 will forgive $1,000 of medical debt.

🎶 Eviscerated hearts that are half pomegranate, cut through with daggers and topped with a snake, blooming bougainvilleas white or magenta, these are a few of my favorite things 🐍🫀🗡️

Icons and splash art I did for my site and stuff. Snake is recycled from a self-portrait, for the environment.

Hello, I'm a Brazilian artist, been working on and off with art since 15, doing private and commercial illustration and design.

I was on a health-related hiatus for a while and I'm still not able to return to commissions but hope to soon.

Meanwhile, I've got digital art bundles of my previous works with high-res files you can print as you like, lots of extras, and also you can look at the art a lot.

🗡️ Commissions: CLOSED

trying to update Ko-Fi but the clap of female nipples in my art etc

I'm getting hit with these literally by the minute.

I understand the need for automated detection systems but the fact female breasts are considered pornographic by default, more than annoying as an artist, is insulting as a woman.

Sexualised and non-sexualised nudity are very distinct things and it's so aggravating that just bare female chests are still considered adult content when male chests are not.

I'm not blaming the platforms, this consideration is out of their control, but it's insufferable to have to constantly appeal and censor stuff that otherwise would not have been flagged if it were exactly the same but depicting men.

My grandmother would've been 90 today. Just 10 short of a century, which were really 11, which seems little difference. What's 1 year of 89? It would be generally said, and truly, that 89, with physical health, mental clarity, and emotional peace, is a dearly scarce privilege, that few of the many who wish it will receive; an extraordinary measure of time, inestimable, sufficient. But who, as well served of a good life as they may be, would refuse one more day? And another? Years of one more unrefusable day. The difference lengthens, immense of each day that could've been. It's never sufficient.

Her name was Linda, which aptly means beautiful. I grew up in her garden, and I think I love flowers because she did. I could list a myriad things that would pale to translate her vividly enough. I can put in a painting her favorite flowers and it won't show the afternoons when she watered them, the low sun and quiet, the smell of fennel and roses, and rosemary which she hated and I love. I can put in a painting her smile, and even if the warmth comes through it comes short of her coarse, spurted laugh, and all that stirred it.

Not time nor memory is enough, being, all the while, all we have.
