Today's #Whistober is inspired by a photo offered by @elizabeth-snow.bsky.social

Love all the subtle variations in color on hydrangea blooms!

If you want to browse them all together you can look at the archive view on Tumblr: catsofyore.tumblr.com/archive But that's the closest thing I have to a gallery website. I do hope to do a book someday though!

It's a great day to support indigenous artists, so why not go buy some gorgeous jewelry from @cvkvlv.com?

I'm wearing the purple and teal drop loops today 🥰

Corn Jenny Gift set going in the post today!

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel is titled “things that are spooky”. We see a book of hexes, a skull, candles, a pentagram in blood, and vampire teeth. Pointing off panel we see a speech bubble that says “I love it”.
The second panel is titled “things that are cute”. We see a strawberry cake, a boba drink, a bunny plushie, and a cute notebook and pen. Again, we see a speech bubble pointing off panel that says “I love it”.
The third panel is titled “things that are spooky AND cute”. We see a row of cute decorative ghosts.
The fourth panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, completely freaking out at this combination.

#Mashaween Day 11:

When I started drawing, I listened to people who told me using references was bad.

Hence why I failed to grasp that licorice is twisted. (And why the anatomy gets wonky toward the tail 🤦‍♀️)

References are artists' friends.

Prompt: #Candy
Animal: #Cobra

So only one other author turned up (of the four of us) so I decided to read out the longer introduction of The Chosen One Con with the singing 😂

Yeeees! I am so excited for THATH! It sounds like such an awesome premise!

I had some much fun hanging out! We got to talk a bit about prairie horror and general catching up.

I'm excited for #slowclap to gain traction. Indie spaces really need a win, & there should be easy ways to support creatives making real, human-made art. ^_^
