I appreciate that while my cat is having a horrible time himself, he'll comfort me when I'm crying.

I guess I should advertise this month's secret sticker. If you want a bigger-than-usual pastel holographic sticker that won't be available in my shop ever, become a sticker tier patron of mine. This is the exclusive sticker for June. My sticker patrons also vote for what sticker I will make for my shop each month. Also get to see WIPs for all of my work of course, and hear about my thoughts / what memories I feel safe sharing that are in my work, and the stories for ones that are story pieces. Thank you for your consideration :)

Yippee it just got here and turned out really pretty

Hey, I love your art, especially your curls. Could you tell me if you use any specific technique or have any study recommendations to make them look so beautiful?

Tube, some extra added smaller tubes can be nice

Using tube in layers, a few at a time

There is definitely less time-consuming ways of drawing hair but I live the tube life, I hope this is helpful.💗

Since I saw a little confusion on who these boys are

[iliothermia]

Despite everything happening I am still overall happy and feel lucky that life has been going better than I ever imagined it going. Thank you everyone reading this who's been very kind to me and my work over the years.

Very tired. Veterinarian visits very expensive, but Xander has meds for his nausea until his ultrasound next week to see if anything can be found.

[iliothermia]

They said it's leaning towards cancer but can't verify unless they do an endoscopy for 1500$. Today's ultrasound was 600 and I approved for them to do further blood testing to rule out other possible issues that's another 400. Don't know how much the steroids he's being put on will be. I might ask for help with the endoscopy because things are getting really overwhelming, today alone took all the money from selling my collection of jewelry and belongings. If anyone would like to help out, my art shop is here and my ko-fi is here. I'll be adding a free 3pack of discontinued stickers with every order over 25$

about an artwork you made - it was these 2 gay statues who had been separated because they were put in different museums. is that their whole story? can you tell us more?

Sadly there's not much more to say about the statues themselves. They did communicate with each other but no human could ever hear them. They sit in silence now, just hoping to one day be placed side by side again. At least if the thieves ever return the marbles they took they'll have a lovely time catching up with one another. They do prefer the museum environment compared to other ones. It lets them see more people, overhear more conversations. They were happy just whispering to one another in a quiet hall but in the museum they get daily entertainment (not as enjoyable when they're separated, though)

do all of the characters in your paintings have associated stories? What's a fun/favorite/interesting story?

Some do, some don't. All of them are combined with symbolic imagery of what I'm dealing with and what I'm thinking about at the time, I can look at any drawing and say what I was feeling and the month and year very accurately.

Most of my stories are probably pretty boring, formulaic. They mostly come from stories I think of before I sleep to feel less lonely. I guess a couple of my favorites are my librarians who find a rift into each other's dimensions that was sealed long ago to halt war, and are trying to clarify the most accurate telling of it's history together / sort through their internalized biases and feelings

Or unsurprisingly, my body horror apple orchard characters.. Cicle and Eitan. After meeting a strange traveling beekeeper an extended period of erotic nightmares blend with reality, making Eitan realize he's gay. He accepts it.. But now he can't tell if Cicle truly is a dominating six-limbed insectoid that's rearranging his flesh and guts, there's something wrong with him, or if he even wants it to end, causing other internal conflict.

If anyone wants to ask anything about art stuff or ocs please do.. I can't sleep

They are happy and they are loved

Do you know when pre ordered shirts are going to ship out?

No pressure I know you’ve had a lot going on recently. I’m just wondering.

Sadly things have been stalled because the company I originally got my gold ink from (that I also use to mix my darker gold custom color) hasn't shipped my ink I ordered to fulfill the shirts for three weeks now. Tried emailing last week but no response so far. I managed to get all printed with my remaining ink on-hand except the last 15. I found similar-looking ink elsewhere and purchased that to finish things, it should be here next Monday and then I'll be finishing everything up the day I get it. Apologies for the wait u_u
