I’m Corey, an indie artist making Art Nouveau-esque bird and fairytale greeting cards and prints. I sell them on my website, at local fairs and festivals along the Redwood Coast in northern California, and wholeale. 🎨🐡🪶 coreyartusimagery.com #PortfolioDay #Art #BskyArt #IndieArtist #RedwoodCoast

Character portraits will always be my comfort art when I feel to unwell to concentrate on something more complicated. This is an old character of mine that I haven't painted in quite a while.

I was reminded today that I wrote, like, an entire book on cozy witchcore vibes and Baba Yaga's garden, and that I should probably talk about that in this week of Halloween 😅 Shackling: part story, part grimoire, part cookbook. www.melissasuestanley.com/shop-prints-...

You know who consistently shows up for me in countless wonderful ways? My fiber arts family. I hope to be as good a friend to y’all as you continue to be to me. My heart is full. And I’m looking for ways to give back. 🧶 💝

Manual ftw! 🧶

The California condor, the largest land bird in North America, has made a remarkable recovery from fewer than two dozen worldwide in the early 1980s to over 600 today. You can read or listen to this hopeful story about three more birds being added to the wild population. #birds #CaliforniaCondors

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

Being creative in an age of AI slop is an act of resistance.

THIS IS ALL TO SAY: if you find yourself not seeing as many hand crafted artisans at the con(s) you frequent, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, it might mean they didn’t get in! Good cons want your feedback, if you want more hand made, tell them! :)

Took me a almost a day to knit the first 95 rows and only 3 hours for the last 95! Ready to block the birthday Rhombscarf. 🧶

Deleted my GitHub account. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck AI.

This quilt is done. What do you think? I call it "reflections on the lake". #artquilt #pieced #original #abstract #landscape

Knit the entire Chart 4, all 94 rows, today! That just leaves the much narrower final 96 rows tomorrow to finish knitting the Birthday Rombscarf. Woot! 🧶 Today’s progress pic shows off my no budget yarn cake core, lol. No fancy dangling yarn management tool for me just my EpiPen & my wits 😆

Hi Bluesky Fam! I'm sitting here hoping that the #art lovers here can help me out. I'm a digital artist/photog, and with the economy as it is, sales have been unusually slow this year. Bad timing as I also had three surgeries this year, which meant a lot of down time and... (1/4) #SupportArtists

My creative process has taken a turn recently. Instead of experimenting with color and making pretty landscapes, I've been more interested in emotional release and art-as-magic-as-healing. Layers of journaling, soothing watercolors, and invocations. Here's a peek at a snippet of yesterday's result

Lady Row, Goodramgate, York. The oldest timber frame domestic building in the city, 1317. Most of the row was let as one up, one down cottages. #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #drawing #ArtShare

i know there's all kinds of apps people use to block their internet, but physically putting a framed print of Carolyn Drake's "Door to Hell" over the entire monitor whenever i don't want to use the computer has been working pretty well here

“Ancient Bridge”, gouache & coloured pencil The original is available and so are fine arts prints! Shop: lindenshieldarts.com #TraditionalArt #Painting

A not awesome photo of my progress post-hangry snack last afternoon. About 40 more rows to halfway on the skinny scarf. Won’t be ready for the birthday girl tomorrow but 🤷‍♀️ 🧶 #KnitSky

Today, we have the lovely opportunity to create prints for @157ofgemma.bsky.social ! We used our Archival Printer and Hot Press Paper for these. 👻

We were "ahead" last time, too. Confidence means nothing right now. You still have to VOTE. And if it *is* actually true, there better be consequences when the power shifts, not wishy-washy waffling. No forgiving and forgetting. My "bleeding heart" is dry to the point of catching fire.

Very heavy news as our former studio, BioWare closes its doors today. It was a formative place for many. However, many former BioWare devs are scattered around the industry. Find them, support them. Like, follow, comment and help us prove there is still support for the types of games we make!

Putting words to action. Here are some other current studios housing former BioWare folks (that I have readily available links for): @summerfallstudios.com @studioresetgames.bsky.social @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social @exodusgameofficial.bsky.social @trickweekes.bsky.social

I feel obliged to once again reiterate that lay offs and closures are not a reaction to the economy, but a failure of leadership. Each wave of closures and layoffs should be looked upon as a consequence of greed and incompetence. If you can't keep your people employed, you are bad at your job.
