It’s almost time for August Adipose! It’s a fun little challenge I do every year, where I draw a fat character every day based on a little title prompt. If you want, I’d love for you to join me. It’s a great way to celebrate fat liberation month, too! If you do, give me a tag, I’d love to see and share.

After many tries and much weeping and gnashing of teeth, I have finally made three whole belts that I am proud of. Witness them. And witness my kitty

Teaching myself how to do Baltic style pickup weaving on an inkle loom. It's a slow and sometimes frustrating process, but I'm getting better

[nikolaijanak]

The best part of making art while high: you can get into a crazy flow state where you're confidently making choices that sober you would be afraid of

The worst part of doing art while high: realizing that you drew all this on the WRONG SIDE OF THE STICKER

[nikolaijanak]

My first finished weave!! It's a mushroom if you can't tell (and it glows in the DARK!)
