I wish, I wish with all my heart, that a kind lovely person will purchase my art.❤️
Commission me and I'll draw whatever you desire!

Is anyone in or around the Marshall, MI area down to get an apprentice tattoo by me?? I'm doing linework only at the moment until I consistently pull even, saturated lines. If you wanna help me practice for between $30-$50, email me, tatsbylydia@gmail.com and I'll send a pic of my available flash!

Executive dysfunction is kicking my ass today

Thank you! I think the hand is my personal fav

Okay, I lied, THIS is my last post for the day lol. This original piece is for sale on my Etsy!

Okay last post for the day! Just trying to share all the cool art I made in the last week😊 which little kitty is your favorite?

Another flash sheet from this week! Which would you get?

I've been drawing non stop recently! Here's a cute little Frog and Toad illustration I finished tonight❤️

Who's hungry?

Having so much fun trying out new drawing styles to do all my apprenticeship assignments. For this one I just had to do something neo trad.

I miss the days when I didn't get heartburn from eating pizza

I love the colors in this one✨

Autism doesn’t make me accidentally do the Nazi salute. He knew what he was doing. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Finished another flash sheet for my apprenticeship!

So now tiktok is back? What the hell

I have been trying so hard to grow on YouTube and it's been really difficult! I can't manage to get my watch hours up. But I'm working on creating some long form content to post alongside shorts so hopefully that will help

People are rude and mean on IG reels

Well, it's gone! I just wanna say, if Trump brings back tiktok, I'll still hate the sonofabitch. Nothing will ever change that😊

I had to physically peel tiktok away from my face today, I swear my screen time is at an all time high. What am I going to do without it? 😭 Maybe my mental health will get better. If it wasn't such a fucked up ploy to censor us and shelter us from what goes on in the world, maybe it'd be a good idea

I could cry, he's so cuteeeee 🥺 people of Bluesky, meet Little Bean. He turns 15 this year, and his favorite thing to do since he was a little kitten is lay on my head like this. Pls tell him you love him

Anyway, here's another flash sheet I made

Fuck the US government 🖕

First attempt at using a nib pen and ink to do this flash, I like the idea but my execution is lacking

I started a rewatch of Supernatural tonight, finished three more flash designs, and set myself up to get some commission work done in the morning before I go to the shop to shadow my mentor.
Doing commissions on top of this apprenticeship is keeping me very busy, but it's gonna be worth it💪

Anyone else get paralyzing anxiety? Like you are overthinking something so much that you physically can't do ANYTHING. And then you feel bad because you aren't doing tasks that need to get done, so you get anxious about that on top of the original thing. And then and then and then and then

First day of my apprenticeship went great! Got some homework to do some more American traditional style flash😊

I started my apprenticeship today! Here's some flash I came up with. What do you think?

Wishing more than anything lately that I didn't live in a capitalistic society. My dream is to live in a cozy woodland cabin with my husband and cats. Perhaps in the PNW? Making art for me, myself, and I. Selling my work isn't even a worry in my mind. Fireplace. Rainy day. Good book. Etc.

Thinking about the future of my business lately. With the tiktok ban, and people deleting meta apps (I totally get why, believe me) I worry about how I will be able to drive sales to my shop! IG and tiktok are my main platforms and I've been struggling to grow anywhere else! I'm stressed!

Wow, this is amazing!
