I am going to start vending my art at events and conventions (while doing DoorDash and Uber). I’ve always wanted to get out there my with my art, and the past several terrible job experiences I’ve had (this last one takes the cake) were the final push I needed to get serious about it.

Finally made a proper reference for Clyde, ive been putting this off for so long.

I finally gave in to the voice that’s been screaming me for six months to leave my job! God I feel so light and free

Scoliocentra villosa ♂ on a fallow deer corpse at #AllerthorpeCommon this week. A favourite spiny-winged fly, found around badger setts, carrion and in caves. This one rather lacking in the fore tarsal area! #Heleomyzidae @dipteristsforum.bsky.social @ynuorg.bsky.social

Bulborb sticker design! By the way, I’ve started a new bsky profile for my Etsy page @flyonthewallcrafts.bsky.social

Hmmm I think it’s a tie between “Project: Hail Mary” by Andy Weir and “The Three Body Problem” by Cixin Liu. Both are very good first-contact stories with very different tones.

My 2025 reading wrap-up on #StoryGraph! I finished my goal of 55 books. This year I’m shooting for 60!

My 2025 art summary is complete! Of course my previous tablet broke right at the beginning of the year, so I didn’t have any digital art for the first few months. Also I guess in September I was too focused on getting my fursuit head done to draw at all.

A blue Pikmin standing in a body of water. The blue Pikmin is wearing a Santa hat and has the Lisa Simpson stare face. The Pikmin says “I’m jolly?”

I think Santi and Joseph got me covered on the soup front but thank you for offering!

Legit getting tired of eating soup and crackers, but I learned the hard way that it’s all I can keep down still ＿|￣|○

Ugh pretty sure I have the stomach flu 🤢

The Smiling Friends go to a furry convention.

A sketch of a blue pikmin that is wearing a Santa hat and is staring perplexedly. The text says “I’m” (this is a work in progress, it will say “I’m jolly?” eventually) Anyway it’s supposed to be a blend of the staring Lisa Simpson meme and the “I’m jolly?” Blue Pikmin meme

I’m in a Pikmin mood now

November's #InvertArtChallenge, a Tachinid Fly. Such neat little feets! So fuzzy! I should probably get better at sketching fur/fuzz/hair.

Can you sum up your gender in 4 fictional characters?

Stilt legged fly (grallipeza nebulosa?). Really enjoy their little leg warmers.

It’s definitely easier for me to draw the arms. I struggle with the shape of wings sometimes and getting the venation right. (Plus I forget to draw the wings all the time).
