I love how job sites, career counselors, etc constantly tell you to put your phone number in your resume. When you do, suddenly you start getting inundated with spam / scam calls. In the modern tech job market, half of the listed jobs are just farming resumes to scrape and sell to companies. As soon as you hit the job market, the spam starts rolling in. It gets to where you don't answer your phone because you already know it is a gift card scam, or similar. So, it works against your job hunt.

In theory now that I've got the store stuff splashed all over social media, I'm supposed to leave the studio and work on some kind of blog advertisement for tarot card readings, and then I must focus on job hunting as my side hustles will be all set up.

But I want to go draw. I'm gonna go draw. Bye.

And for the last of today's store updates, I have a pair of drawings that will always make me smile, because I used my 9 week old rescued stray kitten as an art supply.

There are mousepads, so a kitty can be catching your mouse, and a fishy shaped pet food mat. Go crazy cat ladies, go!

Here's another lovely lady you can get a print of, if you so desire :)

Yup, I seem to enjoy dressing up my skulls, there will be more in this style :).

Persephone and Hades, The Lord and Lady of the Underworld are now for sale. These are the first of several drawings I've been working on for a few traditionally drawn colored pencil pieces for art prints, rather than things I drew so I could have a cool tote bag or mug.

I am both cheered by the fact that this site filled in some keywords for me and a description (you can tell that's not my words because no 80s slang is in there - I'll fix that), and creeped out that this thing saw the infinity symbol. It's like a reminder that my art will now be out there to be eaten by all those prompting AI with those lovely keywords all helpfully filled in for me.

Grr pardon any temporary grumblies that show up on my feed tonight to get quickly deleted. My computer and I aren't on speaking terms at the moment, due to her mishandling of my artwork. Don't know what I did to piss her off, maybe if I draw her some flowers we can make out again.

Lol, I think my fav part of hanging out with the "conservative" twins on one of our rare light touches on politics today was when I dished out the gossip that there may have been some nooky with Trump and someone whose name I couldn't remember, and their hands flew to their chest as one gasped, "It's not that horrible Greene woman, is it?" Refreshing to see sane Republicans. (Don't worry, they're voting for Harris. See? Sane.)
