Posting my embroidery so people can find me... 🐯 #embroidery #handembroidery

I rode the back of the bus. I buried Dr. King. You want me to participate in your little hate-a-thon against some other group? Kindly kiss my black ass.

My artwork of Feraligatr from the Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 has been made into a promo card. Thank you for all your support!

Bringing this back because this has been my life for the last week:

turn the knobs until you glean a melody

‘Aurora’ was accepted into Infected by Art 13! I’m very happy to see her included, but am honestly a bit disappointed that the unicorn didn’t make it through. I‘ll definitely take what I can get though! #art #polarbear #carousel

Rioth - my female brown Pern dragon - still demands to be the center of my attention. And I’m in a pretty big Monster Hunter mood. Please don’t actually hunt her or use her for amazing armor. 🎨

Don't worry, everyone. I've come up with a solution...

gofund.me/4824d711 Please help me do whatever I can to save my girls, and to make sure the rest of my kitties survive. Share this link, and kiss your pets on the head and tell them how much you love them because you never know how quickly they might leave.

I'm Grace (or Rigby) and I'm an illustrator, painter, and lover of kidlit, fantasy creatures, midcentury illustration and VERY grimy brushes. I'll happily drop personal art here from time to time! LINKS: grace-dupre.carrd.co cara.app/gracedupre www.deviantart.com/grace-dupre #portfolio

🎨 My part of a belated Secret Santa event for one of the roleplaying servers I’m in! Her prompt was for stargazing or shouting out to the character’s love of botany. At some point in game, eyeball plants happened. @bellbellwether.bsky.social

This article lays it out plainly. There's nothing to repeal. Costco doesn't have a DEI program. It doesn't have a diversity policy. It simply doesn't use discriminatory hiring practices. These AGs are in hysterics bcuz Costco refuses to segregate its business.

Quote with your wing art!

I bet doom scroll meant something way cooler in the middle ages.

TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH! 😁 Spotted at the Roseville Barnes and Noble in the Twin Cities! @arythusa.bsky.social !

I almost never do fanart, but I still love this Maleficent piece I did! #artpost

Since the Year of the Dragon is coming to an end-- Here's some dragons I made before it's too late! StormDrake from GIGANTIC, two of some of my favorite designs from Spyro: Reiginited, and a personal dragon just for kicks. #YearoftheDragon #GIGANTIC #Spyro #dragon

Ah, heck it - does anyone have any opinions on #vgen as a personal/small-time commission platform and/or have a #vgencode to spare if you’re enjoying it so far? I’d like to poke around it a bit! #vgencodehunt

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now "Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

Oh, my boy, sweetest joy I've known 🎶 Art of the marvelous, musical blue Ilrioth by the lovely @gracedupre.bsky.social This musical theater child lives in my head rent free (or singing songs from the musical 'Rent' as the case may be). Gotta get those ‘rioths! (Grace's Brown Rioth is his sister)

Foal studies - I love how gangly they are

Not to be cavalier about my iPad…but she’s the exception. If she loves it this much at age one… 🌹

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
