Nashville creatives, are you in need of a studio space and want to join a vibrant community? There’s space in my shared studio 100 Taylor in Germantown opening up starting July 1st. You’d be sharing the studio with two other artists, myself included. DM if interested!

Copyright is literally the only thing smaller artists have to defend themselves. It’s why we were even able to take on Ai companies for stealing our work before the bigger companies came in. If you understand how to use copyright it can be a powerful defense

I’m devastated to learn I’m not going to be at Dragon*con this year. I’ve been doing the art show since 2016 and it’s my best show every year (-2020). I was waitlisted and it seems highly unlikely I’ll be back this year. That’s a huge chunk of lost income, y’all. Idk what I’ll do.

This popping off. I see that Alex continues to push the wrong narrative and drag independent artists into the same corner as mega corps.

I’m SO pleased to share my first official movie poster! This is for Elio, a brand new Pixar film out now! Thank you to the Poster Posse for bringing me on board and giving me this incredible opportunity! I loved making a traditionally painted poster and I hope to get to make more!

Which version of my UV reactive Marceline X Princess Bubblegum print do you like better? The daylight version (L) or the version under a black light (R)?

Artists and small business owners who use Stripe- there's a new "AI" feature for payment disputes, it's auto-enabled and will charge a 30% fee if you win a dispute using it. You might want to turn this off. I personally don't trust a slop feature to handle disputes for me either.

"Sometimes there came a sensation as if a hand was drawn softly along my cheek and neck. Sometimes it was as if warm lips kissed me, and longer and longer and more lovingly as they reached my throat, but there the caress fixed itself"

Friendly reminder that I’m having a Pride event in my shop! One of the new prints I’ve added is of this piece I made for @novamali.bsky.social “Classics, But Make It Gay” where I riffed on a Little Mermaid illustration by Arthur Rackham, except our drowning prince is actually a princess. 💖

Mentee Spotlight: @ashleywittling.bsky.social Many years ago, I had the privilege of mentoring Ashley Wittling, who has utterly blossomed in the time since! Take a peek at her work and some kind words she’s left about our time working together. I’m so proud of Ashley’s growth and success!

My hair keeps getting longer and the urge to chop it hasn’t shown up… yet. Should it let it keep going? I haven’t had hair past my shoulders since 2018.

Any day now I’ll be able to share my first official movie poster with a certain animation giant. I’m hoping it brings more work my way - I personally want to see a resurgence in hand painted movie posters!
