“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Long overdue intro post + selfie thread that I can pin! At long last, I will know, and be known.

I’m Slime. I’m here to share my art, but I mostly use this account to ogle at the work of many other talented creatives. Please be my bffs. <3

Attached: photographic evidence that I’m hot and quirky.

My sister’s gotten me into junk journaling and now I take great pleasure in wandering around the house to gather junk mail and catalogs. Every time I pick one up, I get to murmur “another one for the harvest.”

This fox linocut got some color and landed in a frame!

I really appreciate it! Your textile work is to die for.

This one is pretty simple but after yesterday’s “Ghost of Witch Point Burning”, I figure it offers some good contrast.

The adhd urge to barter my firstborn to Bluesky in exchange for a save feature I will obsessively fill with posts and never once remember to open 🙏

When you saw only one giant set of footprints in the sand, it was then that Godzilla carried you

I wish my enemies a very: Get fucked.

Bordeaux red, and emerald green, respectively! Looking forward to your drop in June. 💙 🥳

Political upheavals of great magnitude have occurred since I microwaved my tea and yet society expects me to remember to drink it

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

one time i did visdev for garfield and i didn’t listen to what anyone on staff wanted and turned this liz and jon rom com concept in

Watercolor painting of a pair of pouty lips, pink and glossy. They are parted to show two prominent front teeth.

I missed Valentine’s Day, but I’m still a certified girl-kisser.

I never really got into MIB but caught it in a marathon a couple months ago, and it got me so good. They chopped onions on that script.

Thank you, I’ll keep an eye on both! 💙

Can I ask the venue? I’d love to check them out and show some support :)

It's ok - #ink & #watercolor #art #illustration #sketchcard - #drawing #atc

Sketchy self-portrait of the artist in clown makeup: her skin is pink, her blush is aqua, and purple diamonds are painted above her eyes. She’s crying, but her makeup forms a forced smile.

Clown girl!!! Alternatively titled “my experience growing up undiagnosed with adhd (the performance didn’t end with girlhood!)” #art #watercolor #mixedmedia

The theme of this year’s ceremonies is “Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise.”

Oh shit, you’re really joking at a time like this?

Black and white ink illustration of Limax maximus, commonly called the leopard slug, or great grey slug.

Thinkin’ about leopard slugs.

Timoclea of Thebes throws man who raped her down a well. She next hurled in heavy stones until he was dead. Painted in 1659 by Elisabetta Sirani of Bologna, who had a thing for assertive heroines.

The contents of my drawing table lying across the floor. One 48 pan watercolor palette with paint and pans scattered around the picture, an overturned jar of brushes, a puddle of paint water, and a paper pad among other art supplies.

On the bright side, I get to play Guess Who? with the watercolor nuggets and REALLY make acquaintance with all the pigments in my new palette.

A watercolor painting of Alan (Smiling Friends) crucified in front of a stained glass window, Glep and Alan’s cheese are depicted on either side of him.

Hi! I’m new to Bluesky and I really want to start sharing my art, here’s the crucifixion of Alan in watercolor I gifted my best friend for Christmas. #smilingfriends
