Geeky Artist

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

say nice shit about their art. fangirl about it, compliment the art fundamentals or the vibe or the color whatever. share their posts online

it used to be so easy to create an art community online in the past and now it's hellish. fight the algorithms. spam your friends art. they will either rlly appreciate the attention or straight up need it.

theres something slightly heartbreaking about the thought that the people around you don't care about your creations. by all means, you should create art for yourself but also, sometimes that art is a direct window into your inner world and when friends and loved ones ignore that it can sting pretty bad

I still get emails asking for patterns since I broke up with etsy a few years ago, and while I don't really want to get back into making patterns, I still like the ones I've made. So, I've put them all (16 of them) up on my ko-fi, for free.

This set of patterns includes some ~rare~ ones!

This wasn't on etsy for long - but it's one of my very favs.

and not just the return of the Avatar map (designed in 2012), but finally the updated version.

If it is fanart - Absolutely free (in the hopes they get to stay up). If not, it's free/pay what you want.

Today is Endangered Species Day!

This is the day we celebrate conservation for at-risk species and promote actions to protect them. The Endangered Species Act is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect life in our ocean—and the ecosystems we all depend on. 🌊

When a species is at risk, it’s not just about saving one animal. It’s about protecting the entire ecosystem. From sea otters that help keep kelp forests thriving, to whales that support healthy ocean cycles, each species has a role that keeps our ocean in balance.

The Endangered Species Act helps safeguard critical habitats, reduce harmful human impacts, and give species a chance to recover. And when ecosystems recover, they become more resilient—to climate change, pollution, and other threats.

Healthy oceans support food systems, coastal communities, and a stable climate. Protecting endangered species isn’t just about wildlife—it’s about all of us.

Because when we protect them, we protect the future of our ocean. 💙
