If you like the work of an artist, buy it!

Most artists have works that are accessible to many different budgets.

And make sure you buy it directly from them, or their links. There are big companies stealing art and using or selling it for their own profit, and the artist sees nothing.

So, find out how to buy directly from the artist.

Started a bigger drawing today. I managed to finish the line work, and continue to work on the rest over the next few days.

With code, and inspiration from chemistry and physics, I create the patterns for my scarves. Then I work with a local textile company to make them.

Since I'm not doing any in-person events for a while, I've created a sale code for my etsy shop: SCARF2023

I'm playing with my new chartreuse ink in a Turkey Tail Mushroom inspired pattern. I liked it so much that I tried it on watercolor paper too.

Finished a new floral drawing on watercolor paper today, and managed to get it listed in my shop too.

In this one, I've used a pink 'fill' with the purple line work. I did another with the same purple lines, but with a blue 'fill'.

I'll have to experiment, but if I can find a third color combination, these would make a lovely triplet.

Went out to Sloat Nursery on the other side of town today. Saw these gorgeous flowering plants. Now I'm wanting to get one.

They're called Abutilon 'Tiger Eye'

Starting to experiment with drawing ants and text in the same piece.

I see folks post my work, as if it were it's own, on Pinterest all the time. I don't go looking for it, it just shows up in my feed there.

Sometimes, they are even trying to sell it!

If you like my coloring pages, buy them from me directly instead.

Here's one of my most popular coloring pages, created with code and inspired by chemistry!

Decided on some dancing bees for today's #inkyDays drawing.

I also tried them, with a different ink, on watercolor paper. I'm not super happy with how they turned out, but they're not horrible.

Just listed one of my abstract koi drawings in my etsy shop. I love drawing these. They're so calming but still lively.

I liked today's #inkyDays drawing so much that I tried it out on watercolor paper, after some small tests. I've listed it in my Etsy shop, just in case anyone would like it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1712336558/hand-drawn-abstract-floral-network

Had such a strange but fun dream when I was waking up today.

I wrote about it on my patreon and ko-fi:

Was looking at foody photos on Pinterest, and they show me a stolen copy of one of my Downloadable Coloring Pages...again.

Instead of filling out the copyright-takedown forms, I'm posting a link to my shop. Buy directly from artists! We're so tired of having our work stolen.

I liked yesterday's #inkyDays drawing so much that I did one on watercolor paper. I also made some progress on a bigger floral piece. So much drawing today :)

Working on a new drawing on watercolor paper with an abstract floral and network pattern. My drawing is next to my glass dipping pen and ink pallet.

Loving this pattern, so I'm playing with different colors and combinations on watercolor paper.

Sometimes, I express my frustrations with my art. In this piece, the words between the ants say "I'm so tired of this fascist sh*t".

Today's #inkyDays drawing turned out rather nicely, so I decided to try the pattern on watercolor paper. I just love how the inks interact with the fine paper.

Thinking about a string of thoughts as a string of beads today.

I didn't get around to posting yesterday's drawing here, but it's on my Patreon and Ko-fi:

Just unfollowed a dude who was one of many dudes who were co-author on what was an important book at the time. A book that Amazon didn't list me as a co-author because of my feminine name.

I was delighted that he was here on Mastodon. And boosted his posts, that were mainly the same old shit from years ago. But I was wanting to be supportive.

Tonight, it finally hit me that the support went only one way. And it hit me...how those dudes, like him...didn't support me at all.

Ugh.
