I won't give up 😎

🎉 I'm back on Instagram! 🎉

To everyone who knew me and was following my previous account, I'm sorry for the inconvenience and for disappearing unexpectedly. 💜

You can find me again at @artbyelliephant2.0! Feel free to follow for new artwork, sketches, WIPs, and updates. I'm excited to share more art and reconnect with everyone again.

Thank you to everyone who's supported me and stuck around. It means a lot. 🫶✨

Nothing left to say. Instagram disabled my account for being "suspicious" while I was trying my best to follow every rule and avoid anything spammy. I literally didn't do anything except add one person I found here on Tumblr. That's it.

It's honestly exhausting trying to do things the right way and still getting punished by algorithms that don't even explain themselves properly. Between Instagram, Tumblr, and other platforms constantly flagging people for no reason, I'm losing faith in social media altogether.

At this point, can anyone recommend a platform that's actually reliable and doesn't randomly throw years of work away? And please don't say Tumblr it's trash as well.

Seriously, where are creators supposed to go nowadays?

I literally built a community here and Tumblr terminated my account and now Instagram did the same. WHYYYYYYYYYY??????????!!?!?

I’m honestly tired of watching AI generated content and bots flood creative spaces while real artists are ignored or pushed aside.

It feels like people are more impressed by fast, automated outputs than by actual human effort. Real artists spend years learning, practicing, failing and improving. They deal with burnout self doubt and the pressure to keep creating yet their work is often treated like it’s less valuable than something generated in seconds by AI or boosted by bot activity.

Bots and AI can mimic styles and produce endless images or text but they don’t understand struggle, emotion or lived experience. They don’t create from passion they generate from patterns and yet the internet keeps rewarding speed and volume over meaning and effort.

Supporting real artists matters. Human creativity matters. Art is more than automated content and artificial engagement.

I miss when originality, effort and the person behind the work actually meant something.
