Since we first saw this painting I could not stop thinking about how it'd make a perfect stained glass window. I do not have the supplies (or time) to pick up that hobby: but I do have a laser cutter and resin! Kind of obsessed with how it turned out ngl. --- #ofmd #OFMDfanart

I can't get over how this has the exact energy of con hall shots. No one knows what photographer to be looking at. No pose was decided on before hand. Dimitri looked like he has no idea how to pose without a prop. Amazing.

@TFconTweets I've been to several previous tfcons and it was always a lovely accepting community so this is a huge shock. Open up refunds. This is not the event people thought they were committing to, and you're creating an environment that is downright unsafe for your attendees.

Someone asked me to break down why their commission cost what it did and got mad about me building in what I have to pay in taxes and still have it be a liveable wage. They really asked me to take it out because they shouldn't have to pay it. That's super not how that works?!

Here's a little bright moment in a sea of worry- My mother is an incredibly skilled oil painter. I grew up seeing her pieces but in every house we moved into, her studio space sat unused as she was too busy raising us. Today she completed her first oil painting in over 25 years.

Friends if you are as messy as I am go buy Grandma's Secret Spot Remover. I cannot tell you how many costumes this has saved. I spilled an entire coffee onto my bodice on the way out of faire and after a spritz and rinse it is literally good as new.
