Hello! It's Vern. Curmudgeonly I am in my ways and I have only just recently found a post like this one on another blog I like and I thought, hey, what a functional idea for a pinned post. These topics are under read more:
What is this blog? What is not on this blog? What tags do you use? Do you take commissions? How do I reach out to you? And dni list
This blog is chiefly an art blog, but I do post some funny things and things tangentially related to art here. This is my only tumblr I currently use, so some things that are in my interests end up here. Any other blog that claims to be me is not me.
This blog IS NOT a space that tolerates hate speech or any anti-LGBTQ sentiment at all. I am queer and I frequently post about queer things. This blog is also a reasonably safe blog for those with many triggers. I have many triggers myself and I don't typically tag any triggers in my posts because I don't typically make or reblog any posts that need it. If I do, such as posts that may have violence if I believe it is relevant and important to my interests, I will tag it.
Speaking of tags, I do use some regular tags for my art and sometimes other posts! Here is a running list:
#art - general tag for all art I post or share!
#art inspo - art or references that I reblog to reference later for inspiration
#bark arts - tag for art of dogs or wolves, usually art that I've made
#bat arts - tag for bat art, sometimes includes my fursona and most recently includes some vampire the masquerade stuff
#bun arts - tag for rabbit art -- my fursona is in here a lot!
#digital art - tag for art make on a computer, usually mine
#doodle - silly art that I didn't put that much time into, sometimes made on my phone lol
#shit doodle - same as doodle, except it has the added distinction of being made while I was shitting on the toilet
#text - tag for text-only posts, usually those that I make
#traditional art - tag for pictures of art I made in meat space on a piece of paper, crocheted, or other things like that
#update - I haven't posted much in this tag, but this has to do with stuff in my life that may affect the blog or art or whatever
I do use other tags, but I made this list with my followers in mind who may want to look up specific things on my blog.
I have taken commissions and I won't necessarily say no to a commission, but I don't have a price list or anything made for you to reference. If you really want art at this time (first of all thanks c: but) you'll have to reach out to me personally with what you would like! I do have a PayPal that I have set up for specifically this reason but I am bad at being a business person so I haven't gotten worked out much beyond that 🫠
As for communicating with me, my ask box is open and I am open to dm's right now! I would love to network or talk about whatever. I don't take requests really over ask box or anything like that, but if the mood strikes me I may make a little doodle as a treat for talking to me :o)
Animation I made as a tribute to Louis Wain, both to his art and him as a person, I hope my animations convey how comforting I find his art.

“I am happy because everyone loves me”
I'll have you know this post has been up for 3 hours and already a "reach out to me I can't message you for some reason" bot commented on this, I deleted it, and then commented the same thing AGAIN. Somehow I feel as tho this is ironic given the content of the post lol
Sorry for the flashbang random person online but I want to point out that it's remarkable how no matter which one of these creatures I draw, it's always someone's favourite, or at the very least they have happy childhood memories about it
