Hi, I’m Catie! Welcome to my art blog. I’m a freelance illustrator and 3D artist, although I’m only just now getting back into the latter. I’ve really missed it!
I can also be found on twitter!
I have a patreon, where I’m regularly posting WIPs, sketches, and process breakdowns for finished illustrations! I currently only have the one tier, but I hope to add more tiers once I can offer more exclusive perks. I deeply appreciate any support you would like to give me!
I also have a ko-fi for tips!
I also have a Redbubble store! There’s an assortment of things in there with my art on them, which you can adopt and give a loving home to, if you’d like.
Commissions are currently closed! I need some time to get caught up on my queue. I’ll make a post to announce when they’re open again!
one more thing: I like answering asks! I think it’s really fun. I also reblog stuff now and then. That’s the full Catie’s Art Blog Experience. But if you want to only see my artwork without having to scroll past the asks and other kinds of posts, please click the tag #my art!
I hope everyone out there in SoCal/the LA area who’s following me or sees this post is staying safe. These fires are so fucking scary… I’m keeping you guys in my thoughts and sending you love from the east coast.
Stopmotion (2023): You Know It Smell Crazy In There: The Movie
one of my last drawings of 2024… me and Perilla Pickle yesterday morning, listening to the rain.
Anyone else just… totally unable to follow the conversations in big discords? I really want to connect with the other people in the fandom/topic discords I’ve joined, but the conversations in each channel seem so disjointed or impossible to get caught up on. It feels like everyone already knows each other but also like lots of strangers are talking past each other. It’s crowded but lonely. I never feel like it’s “the right time” for me to jump in or change the subject with something I want to share. I want to make new friends, but I feel like maybe I just wasn’t built for this modern world.
man!!! It’s really validating but also kind of a bummer how many people are relating to this post. Where do we go, the discord-averse…? Dreamwidth?? Can we make Dreamwidth a big thing? I really feel like the structure of LJ-style communities was so good for separating conversations by post, and letting people have conversations one-on-one under those posts without it feeling like everyone was talking over each other.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.
Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.
wow. really hope this isn’t actually a norm taking hold with new users! this isn’t facebook, you don’t need to know people before following them
this is the ‘10 year mutuals you’ve never spoken to once’ site
Follow! REBLOG! It’s how the site works!!
lol what is that really some kind of new etiquette fresh users are trying to enforce? No way! There have always been people who prefer to keep their circle small on here and that’s their prerogative, but it’s definitely not the dominant culture! This is the “follow someone because they reblogged a cool bird once” website! This is how tumblr thrives without being algorithm-driven by default.
こふたつ - kofutatsu
A wintertime picture for the wonderful blog @straycatj, inspired by Landlady’s recent posts about Mr. J and Kofuku enjoying the kotatsu!
(Kofu is the black cat, and Mr. J is the toasted marshmallow)

WHEN are we getting Star Trek: Lower Decks: The Movie !!!!!!!!!
UGH I’m so sad I’ve watched all 5 seasons of the show now. I loved it. I love these characters so much. What a good show with such an obvious deep love and respect for Trek even as it put its own unique spin on the universe.
