Art I am working on of my OC Axel. I dread working on clothing, but wanted to share my progress so far. I will do similar for others for 30 USD #art #oc #commission #smallbusiness.

Felt cute - may delete later - may eat some Brie. We will see.

Sketch Commission of a Dragonborn character I did a few years ago for a D&D character of a friend #art #dungeonsanddragoms #d&d #commission

This is going to be the new logo from now moving forward I think :) Am going to redo my original anxious fox a little (not many changes) and add it up on the shop. Would people be interested in other emotions of my OC/Logo, Cadmean? Let me know! #smallbusiness #startup #stickers #fox #cadmean

Just a friendly reminder that I do commission work! I’m currently looking to do headshots of characters of all sorts similar to Rhokar or of human faces of either a cartoony or realistic composure for $30 each :) Please DM me if interested! I can also make stickers. #art #commission #smallbusiness

Finally got another tiger hair band from @starsalts.bsky.social (lost my first one… sad) My hair is still growing out — but its face makes me really happy and I am hopeful to use it for Messy Buns. For now, it’s a great bracelet accessory of sorts and it brings both my son and I joy :)

I've decided to change my name to Cadmean Collections on here until I feel fully confident in my rebrand. Cadmean means a lot to me—my fiancé and I have often connected our relationship to the story of Cadmean, the fox that could never be caught, and Laelaps, the dog that always caught its prey.

Obsessed with this design

It really sucks just starting out, but having ambitions of someone who’s been doing this for awhile. Like — I’m broke. I can’t start thinking about doing plushies yet 😂😭 I couldn’t even afford a prototype.

Misty’s face when I don’t provide pets quickly enough or take a break. #dog #rescue #attentionwhore

Curious if anyone would be interested in some portraits? I can do semi-realistic and cartoony ones.

Got my first order on Etsy! Let’s gooooo!!!! 💖✨ #smallbusienss #success #etsyseller #stickers

I have 384 followers, which is AMAZING—thank you for being here! But I feel like I only hear from a few of you. If you see this, tell me about a really cool book you’re reading or your favorite animal! I feel like I’m just screaming into the void half the time—let me know you’re out there!

I’ve done a bit of exploring and I’ve decided that my sexual identity is Panromantic Gray-Ace/Demisexual. I am sex-favorable, but I don’t really experience sexual attraction often (this isn’t to say it doesn’t happen - it’s just uncommon). Just because I’m romantically and or emotionally

Comparing your work to others’ isn’t inherently bad — it’s what you do with the comparison that counts. If you’re in the wrong headspace, you’ll never be able to translate inspiration into skill. When you only draw for others and your art will be worse. Draw for YOU and you art will be better.

A piece that I’m working on that I have the whole sketch of shared on Ko-fi. This is representative of some mental health challenges I struggle with that I want to share a sneak peak of. #mentalhealth #art #digitalart #smallbusiness #inprogressart

Debating on changing my store name to Hypnotic Hyena simply because I've become attached to it more then I was Cadmean Collections... But I already have a theme and I had business cards and everything made so this feels like a bit of a crazy move :( I don't know...

This video brings me life

Rest in Power… I am so sorry this happened to you — but we will continue to live and fight. You will not be forgotten. #SamNordquist #transgender #lgbtqia+ #RIP #artist #transgenderartist #WesternNewYork

There is a vigil happening for Sam Nordquist in the city, but I have no more spoons for driving or socializing… So I’m gonna take the rest of the time I have today to make art to honor him.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Thinking about trying to get paperlike on my tablet again… it never seems to work out perfectly for me :,)

You are magic ✨

I’m enjoying the fact that as I continue to do art and make things — I grow a greater appreciation for other artists. I think they’re so friecken cool and I wonder what it was like to start out. Were things quick? Did it take a few years? What would you tell someone else doing similar? I wanna know!
