Best haircut I’ve ever given myself. No real competition though, never have done a very good job at it that I actually liked. I’ve almost never shown photos of myself online. This is a BSky exclusive folks!
I’ve had two girls now, a calico torbie and a regular torbie, and they’ve both been very self-confident, gorgeous gals who know what they want in life. Lucy(fur), my heart kitty (RIP), and Paisley, a princess with a hilarious sense of humour.
I’m so proud of these magnetic bookmarks, they printed up and assembled so beautifully! Made entirely by me in-house. Get yours at windloftworkshop.com/b/green-man-... #artshop #transartist #handmade
🌈 QRP with your rainbow art! 🌈 This is some of my more ‘ancient’ art. Circa 2010, card art for ‘Mikiko’ character from Bella Sara trading cards, produced by the now-defunct Hidden City Games. #fantasyart #Pride #junicorn #unicorns
Two new reading accessories in my shop, from my Green Man Collection in the #bookishgifts section. These magnetic bookmarks are all produced in-house. windloftworkshop.com/collection/g... #artshop
Two new products in my shop, this time as part of my Green Man Collection in the #bookishgifts section. I love magnetic bookmarks—they’re so satisfying to clip onto pages over and over! windloftworkshop.com/collection/g... #artshop
This continues to be one of my most popular pieces, including in colouring page form. Still intend to do a four-seasons collection of a Green Man! #BlueSkyArtShow
I learned these techniques from Jerry Yarnell’s books. Highly recommend if you can find them. Photo attached of the one I’ve got.

I’m so friggin pleased with my product photography for this batch of products. Finally figured out a decent setup that works after always hating the process. I mean, just lookit all that! ❤️ #artshop
New products are coming to my shop soon! Sneak peak for now…
Hey, it’s Mermay! Have some mermaid-adjacent aquatic people and some water creatures like a Selkie, a hippocampus and a kelpie. I’d like to paint these to make stickers and such as part of a Celtic collection. #mermay
Lookit all the THINGS I made! I MADE all these things! Sorry, gonna gush about them because they turned out so good and I’m almost ready to sell them finally! Just need to photograph and make listings, then I can post them in my #artshop and offer for wholesale.
I have been going gung ho on producing designs for stickers and magnetic bookmarks, with the intent of also selling wholesale with them. I am so freakin excited but also scared to death about putting my own manufactured products out there. Wish me luck!
I love making #digitalart that looks—as close as I can get—to traditional painting. The principles of working with traditional media have served me well. I’m proud of what I’ve been able to paint in virtual media, and the style I’ve developed. Always striving to do better and exceed my last work.
Love sketching on toned paper! So fun to see a drawing come to fully rendered life so quickly when you just add shadows. And then the highlights just top it all off beautifully.
I’m perfecting my #stickers -making game! Just look at the accuracy on that teeny cut with the tight tolerance! Never would have thought I could get that level of precision on my Cricut. And that gold sticker vinyl with this design! So excited right now. 😍
Colours not at all final, but this little guy is on the go as a smaller “quickie” pattern to take a break from the Moon Dragon. Original art reference from @verdantsculpts.bsky.social. Fans of his work will prob recognize this one! One of my faves of his sculpture work. Need to add his back fronds.
Finally sorted out how to plot the shading and details on this sucker, ie colour choices, blended threads, etc. The test stitching will help refine but for now I’m moving on from those bloody wings! #crossstitch #dragon #flosstube
Getting back to designing my Moon Dragon cross stitch chart. This is going to turn out so amazing! Lots of work to hand plot, but it sure does make for a nicer project to stitch without a ton of confetti. #crossstitch #dragon #crafts

I know if I post this right now it’ll probably get missed in folks’ feeds, but I am so excited about these sparkly stickers I printed! Holy shit they’re so PURTY! Ideal water bottle and bookmark sizes. I want to try star-themed holographic sheets but having trouble finding the right setting.

Okay, if you’ve wanted to get into 3D modelling there’s never been a better time to do so! I basic-rigged up this roughed out dragon in no time flat with zero experience in Blender. There’s so many great videos and helpful posts out there to guide you. Don’t be intimidated, give it a try! #blender
So, I hit 666 followers earlier today. Have this short clip of a truly cursed thing!
