Welcome!
Feel free to ask questions, tag, or DM me. Tumblrians are cool. I'm here to have fun.
About me: I have been a self-employed artist, animal trainer, editor, and computer tech, and I randomly have a BS in math that is super helpful background for everything else I do. I have asthma (a condition I would not recommend, 0 out of 10.) I have two African hybrid ravens: Hugin and Munin -- I love all the critters. I'm currently building a cabin -- it's the largest craft project I've ever done. To visit old friends, I travel back and forth between Washington (AKA "The North") and California (AKA "Mordor".)
Currently, I have a fictional novel titled "Raven" that I am publishing on Friday, March 20th, 2026, which is the first day of Spring in 2026. The book is a light fantasy novel with more of a focus on wisdom, reason, and action than magic. The action-packed plot reflects my own love of adventure. It might be called a young adult or new adult book, but will likely be interesting to a wide range of ages. I was in the middle of writing the book when Hugin and Munin came into my life, so they now appear as characters in the book alongside the two human protagonists. I am currently posting about writing at least once a week on Saturday at 6pm.
If you want to repost my art or photos, please credit me. Please do not repost the art I created for my avatar though. I've recently started "signing" my posts with my handle on Tumblr and Instagram, @artemisblackwing. This is to make it easier for people to repost my stuff elsewhere while giving me credit for it. Almost any use of my stuff for non-commercial purposes should be fine. If I have concerns about a particular photo or artwork being reposted elsewhere, I will note that in the post itself. If you want to use my photos or artwork for something weird, you can ask me about it and I will probably say yes.
I support LGBTQ+ people and equality of gender and race. You risk the wrath of the Raven Gods if you repost my artwork or photos to support bigotry of any kind.
Any pronouns for me are fine, but I use "she/her". Munin is a "she" and Hugin is a "he".
I post a little more on Tumblr than elsewhere, but just so you have them, my other social media accounts are:
Bluesky: @artemisblackwing.bsky.social
Instagram and Threads: @artemisblackwing
Mastadon: (I will edit this post with my mastadon later, since I'm changing my handle there.)
