I really hate when, the moment a controversy breaks about someone, people rush to say, “I always knew!” or “I always hated their work.” It’s this weird performance of purity, like they need to prove they were never tainted by liking the wrong person. It’s like… people can have liked terrible people.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Round 2! Because we need it. My teacher is a Shetland pony. I have trouble hearing her lectures as she is a little horse.

So yesterday I had the amazing privilege of getting to sketch a genuine leopard skull at Liverpool World Museum as part of their still life drawing event. Being up close to so many specimens was surreal, and I'm pretty happy with the finished version! (I added some colour in Procreate) #art #drawing

You can honor David Lynch by wearing a mask in public. He had to begin isolating at home because he has emphysema- a COVID infection would likely be fatal- and no one wears masks anymore. Millions of others like him (including myself) were left behind when COVID measures were abandoned

Shower thought of the day: what would it look like if I painted something as it looked without my glasses? This was the result! (It took a lot of flipping my glasses off and on to complete, and now I have a bit of a headache. Maybe don't try this at home 😂)

People of Bluesky, I need your help! It's been my dream to land a job as an illustrator for years, but as an autistic person with some higher support needs it's been difficult finding work. Here's my portfolio: ranigraingerillustration.carrd.co Any authors looking for an artist? #publishing

Turns out there was more room for improvement. Now my Alan Wake portrait really is done!

Leaving it here for now - I imagine I'll get better the more I do this, but as my first proper oil pastel portrait I'm pretty happy with this!

To be worked on a bit more later, but so far I'm pretty happy with this! #AlanWake2

I've been experimenting with oil pastels, and today my new portrait set arrived! Naturally, my one-track mind went straight to the game I'd just been playing last night and so my first subject is Ilkka Villi from Alan Wake 2 (nowhere near finished yet, but I'm pretty happy with it so far! 😁)

Social media should be safe for trans people. Therefore, social media should be unsafe for transphobes. Pass it on.

So, Waterstones' LGBTQIA+ fiction section hasn't been updated in months (looks like it was maybe May when it was last updated?) Someone want to give them a nudge and let them know that LGBTQIA+ fiction still exists after Pride Month? 😅

I'm trying to get better at experimenting with art mediums and letting myself make mistakes without worrying so much about it. So with that in mind, here's my first proper attempt at oil pastels!

We made a zine! Artist Katie Drackert created a printable mini-magazine of our first year’s highlights! We wanted to bring The Sick Times offline and into coffee shops, art fairs, community centers, mask bloc distributions, and anywhere else our readers want to share our work. bit.ly/3AVNltG
