"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

An image of me from the knees up from the back in black lace panties, black bra, black leather shoulder armor, and sword belt. 
I hold a sword across my ass and gaze into the distance. 
You can't help but feel I'm both protecting and ignoring you. 
What would you do to catch this warrior's eye?

The fact that I have zero tips for my birthday on Fansly is literally a crime.

Buy me cake - get pictures of cake.

Tomorrow is the only day I’ll be at ECCC, but if you happen to run into me and want a physical copy of any of the Trash Humpers or Gutter Reviews, you know I keep them thangs on me.

Otherwise come listen to me host a panel about the legacy and understated influence of Deadline at 5:15 in room 346!

I'm still loving my new palette.

> Cadmium red medium
> Quinacridone magenta
> India yellow
> Cadmium lemon
> Ultramarine blue
> Cobalt teal
> Lead white

It's robust, flexible, and most importantly, simple. I kinda feel there's nothing I can't do with these palette. Its just so damn cohesive.

Are you enjoying ECCC but missing me and my con exclusive prints something fierce? I'm sorry I'm not there, but I did make a con exclusive for you all the same! I'm taking it down Sunday night, so act fast!

If you’re at #eccc please don’t forget to come to the Basement! A lot of people seem to think there’s only Funko pops and long box comics and blind boxes, but they moved a bunch of indie artists down here too! Don’t miss out!!

Sociology pulls back the curtain on power - how it's constructed, how it's maintained, and the (il)legitimacy of those in power - and that's why they're so afraid of it.

(It's also why Intro Soc is my favorite class to teach.)

Diane is sitting here looking at me like, "what's wrong with the brushes you have?!" And I'm just like... shrug... at least I'm cute?

At least I'm not addicted to tech anymore.

NOT ANYMORE!

For fellow basement dwellers, I put together a gaming zine for ECCC.

Still outside of my budget and I dare not trim it anymore.

HAH! This is the exact trajectory I expected this to take.

Trimmed it down, so it's not $465 anymore, but...

If you're at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social this weekend, you can grab an exclusive look at the all-ages comic @cattifer.bsky.social and I have been pulling together!

Cat's selling an ashcan collecting the first chapter of THE GREAT TRAIN HAUNTING, our supernatural comedy Western....

I wanted new brushes, so I built a new brush order. I'll just be closing that tab and going to think on my sins.

Why did no one tell me fulbert brushes were amazing? I've spent the past 20 years painting almost exclusively with brights! Why did no one tell me?!

Super close up of Paulie's signature crimson lips open with a Dubai chocolate poking out the front. She wears her black leather choker with the silver loop. Her shoulder length blonde hair is just in frame.

Today is my last of 10 days in VanillaLand. I'm exhausted. I'm cranky. I'm not my usual bubbly self. I've been masking HARD to create SFW joy for others. I haven't cum in forever.
Tomorrow I'm BACK. Can y'all please help me feel good & fill my comments with sexy treats? Pics/thirsty stuff about me?
