Can this be what the revolution looks like? With flowers and spray paint and flags and ribbons and food and tea and war cries? I want to fight the patriarchy and also frolic! Please?

new aesthetic: cottage punk

-cool and fun blend of cottagecore aesthetics with punk values

-what’s more punk than reading abolitionist literature while sipping your tea and having some fresh fruit

-baking fresh bread from scratch and then making little sandwiches to give out to protesters

-romping around in a meadow wearing your old beat up docs, stopping to rest in the shade, laying on your DIYed leather jacket like a blanket

-fingers stained with spray paint from making ACAB murals by the road, a crown of wildflowers in your hair

-mutual aid!! free soup for the revolution!!

-guerrilla gardening, basically vandalism but with gardening. making use of unused spaces to plant a nice community vegetable garden or some pretty flowers

-covered head to toe in tattoos of various herbs, wildflowers, mushrooms, fruit, and other nature things

-running away to a cottage in the woods!! whats more punk than abandoning capitalism and building a happy little life for yourself and living off the land. good for the environment AND bad for corporations. that’s how you stick it to the man.

-jam sessions in the woods when your bellies are full of fresh fruit and the sky is clear above you, everyone sings along to woody guthrie

-literally just gentleness. kindness. love. what is more punk than passionately loving yourself and the world around you?

So I’m playing an old Animal Crossing game for the first time, right? And it forces you to go through that awful tutorial period where Tom Nook exploits your labor for a couple measly bucks to pay off a fraction of your mortgage? Well, the anti-capitalist revolutionary I am thought it would be a fun bit to use every letter he had me send and every bulletin board notice he made me write to call him out for his corporate greed and shameless abuse of power. When my part-time job was done and I’d escaped from under his thumb, I went to Brewster’s for a cuppa and a song from K K Slider. He said he’d play one for me, his treat, completely randomized by the game. You wanna know what song it gave me?

K K Rally.

Hey folks!!

Life has been tough and I’m struggling to get art out right now. I know I take a lot of hiatuses, but I promise this isn’t one of them! I’ll give you all more art as soon as I’m ready. I already have another commission lined up, so once it’s done I’ll post that. And the book is coming along nicely, too. I have a lot planned, so don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, just resting.

Love you all, my sketchy people!

From the minds of my girlfriend and I once again enjoying Tears of the Kingdom: You’ve heard of Voe and Me? The class where Gerudo learn how to talk to boys? Well, coming soon we’re also offering Voe is Me, a support group for Gerudo trans men.

For all my trans friend out there… We’ll be fine, we only have to make it to tomorrow and then they won’t be able to perceive us again 😅 /j

Sometimes I’ll look at a person I care about and think, “How neat. You’re real and I get to know you.” I think that might be important.

New ick unlocked: I’m applying for a rental apartment and they’ll only accept a driver’s license as ID. I don’t have a driver’s license. I don’t drive.

Character commission: Phillipe Shwe Khan

Thanks to musiclover on Ko-Fi for this commission! Phillipe is a naga (that’s DnD for snake man) based on an albino Burmese python. To quote from the prompt I was given, “He’s a goofy snake wizard who likes muffins.” He’s got everything you could want from a DnD character, from quirky fashion to E X T R E M E A N G S T.

This might be the biggest commission I’ve done, and quite possibly my favorite. I love the aesthetic of this character, with his archaeologist vibes paired with the wizard fit. I’ve also never drawn a snake before?? So this was a good challenge. And I’m SO PROUD OF THE RUNES, MAN. They turned out so good! All in all, I’m feeling pretty good about this one.

The second character portrait commission! Bit of a tone change from Kali, this smiley boi is Romulus, he loves dogs and his special interest is human things. Can’t you tell by his human clothes? Character credit goes to the incomparable @geswho36

[scesketch]

why do people always only expect you to have one thing. one disorder one pet one gender one pronouns one name one favorite movie one crush one best friend. like why do I have an inventory limit

[scesketch]

Got a couple commissions for character portraits! (No, shut up, they’re not from my own campaign, it counts, it counts—) This is Kali, and her shadow! She fights real good and devours people’s life force. She’s neat. Character credit to my friend.

I have a new KoFi goal: a new iPad!

My digital art is only possible thanks to a very expensive piece of equipment. My current iPad is growing quite old and I fear she is not long for this world. It would be immensely helpful if I could upgrade soon, and I need your help and support to make that happen!

There are many ways to support me. KoFi is a good hub for all of them, as is my Instagram. You can make a one time donation, subscribe monthly, or order a commission through KoFi. You can also purchase several of my pieces as prints, on t-shirts, mugs, coasters, you name it, through Redbubble and TeePublic. Whatever sounds most appealing to you! I love all the different ways people enjoy and support my art.

That’s all from me! I’ll be posting more art soon. Love ya, sketchy people!

In an Ariel kind of mood…

Trying a different sort of style. I never liked painting, but maybe it’s because it’s such a finicky medium. Digital painting gives a lot more room to play around, and I can confirm I enjoy it a lot more!

Reminder: taking a gender fluid person to a thrift store is dangerous, it is where they are most powerful
