Actively wishing for someone to fail says nothing about the other person, but all about your darkness.

I had a dream just now where God told me in a very calm, gentle, friendly tone, "Tell them about Me. I will always be with My people, but I won't always be with the others. They need to seek Me while I can be found." ... that's very true. If you haven't, you need to choose Him. He cares for you.

A very subtle piece of straight art, but it can also apply in general.
The truth IS black and white.
REAL love does NOT bully.
REAL truth does NOT silence.

If truth is subjective, then there is no truth at all. There has to be an objective truth that applies to all. Find it.

When Jesus is with you, there's nothing to fear at all. People will try to intimidate you with things that would scare THEM... but they fail to realize that YOU are not like them. You know who you are, and who your Father is.

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.

This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.

If you’re reading this, it means my surgery was a success! However, I can no longer use my drawing paw until April. 😭

Seeing as this is my full time job, this is quite inconvenient! If you’d like to support me during this time, please consider taking a look at my kofi for cute bases and my tip jar💚

What can we do for God today? That's the question I try to rise with each day that our Lord rouses my family and I from rest. 🩷

I did it!!!!

I finished this illustration just in time for ECCC.

If you can't make it to the show and want to snag a copy for yourself it's in my store:

Sadly because I injured my arm due to being middle aged, I didn't finish the stargazer piece. :(

But soon...

Evening on a winter Sunday. Animals fed again. Babies finally asleep. The light is leaving and the house is quiet for a minute.

God, thank You for carrying us through another day. I give You what's left of me tonight.

I wanted to turn my brain off and do something loose and focusing on shape language! It’s quite therapeutic!
