Haha... I was planning to do a shop update tonight but rn I'm just going to scream into a pillow. It's the only way to make myself feel better.

They can't keep putting out MonHun recipe videos for Wilds and then not give us the ingredients they used with measurements. Like pls just tell me how much of each thing you used so the cheese naan I want to make won't come out bad 🥹

Ontario, please VOTE! Over 50% of Ontarians didn't vote in the last election -- imagine how many of those people were disenfranchised young folks who would have voted anything-but-conservative. Look at strategic voting sites if you need to! Just go!! To the polls!!!

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

And, if you have a lot of really long links, there are different apps that use the Bsky API and you can mask said links! Personally I like using deck.blue because I used Tweetdeck before when it was a thing. It gets bonus points from me for also having invisible hashtags.

To add onto this, use those hashtags!! BlueSky doesn't do the horrible thing that Twitter did and deboost your post if you put more than 2 hashtags. Put as many relevant hashtags as you want for more visibility! Descriptive alt text can also help your post be searchable!

AI makes looking for references online such a damn minefield I want to know what a horse ACTUALLY looks like, not what a machine THINKS a horse might look like

I'm probably going to be working on a net negative but — hear me out — what if I did vinyl record coasters and then bought CD sleeves to make them look like album jackets. And they're all animal themed 👀

Fyi once flashes comes out on Android I'm going to be deleting and reposting my artwork with the tag #CalicoCocoaArt for better sorting. Should I have been posting with this tag to begin with? Yes. But I don't plan ahead like that 😔

I found my GB color and GBA and I forgot both of them were clear cases. Sadly have not found my games for them (yet) but cleaning is going well today ✨

To all the creatives who are feeling the burnout, existential dread, and poor economy on their small business: take that break, get that part-time job, you are not lesser because of it 🫶🏻 this too shall pass, and your creations (no matter how small) matter to you and your community

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I gotta emphasize the importance of being kind, great to work with, making friends, & “kismet” in publishing. Anyone you meet could be your next collaborator, or recommend you for a comic/book/gig in the future! It’s not a guarantee, but being dependable makes it easier! Let’s raise those tides 🌊

Me realizing that I made a Terrible Mistake because I wanted the special edition with a pop up pirate Majima, which only shipped today. It's gonna arrive when MonHun drops, isn't it 🥹

Okay so I'm planning on sewing a little mini baby seikret because the JP-locked plush shipping hurts me. (And I don't need one THAT big.) But I looked through my fluffy fabrics and only have pastel pink and pastel blue on hand. Should the baby be blue or pink? 🤔

COLOR REPRODUCTION SERMON Ask your publisher or printer about color profiles. Use those. Otherwise, safest bet is: RGB - Adobe RGB (1998) CMYK - SWOP (Coated) 20% UCR 300% Calibrate your monitor w/a Spyder at 5000K and Gamma 2.2. ALWAYS! SOFT! PROOF! You are now dialed in like a pro. Good luck.
