i hosted an art sale in my living room last week. it was an anxiety inducing & emotionally exhausting event, but I’m so glad i did it. its such a motivation to see that people like my art enough to buy it, and are happy to support me while i continue to make it. and also, people came and had fun, regardless of if they ended up purchasing anything! so all in all a good experience, I’ll probably do it again sometime 🌹 gwen helped a lot!
i do still have a lot of originals! send me a message if you’re interested in something
I’m offering greyscale ink commissions in a style similar to the ones shown. I’ve been calling them “room landscapes”- but they don’t necessarily have to be a bedroom, they can also be a balcony, a living room, a kitchen, whatever place you feel close to.
Prices vary between 25-40$ depending on size and style. You can see the differences between each type of ink in the examples above. (Please keep in mind that the sizes all look the same on a computer screen, but irl i’m able to fit more information on a bigger paper.)
Send me an email at roninova2610@gmail.com for more details, and please spread the word!
i’ve recently started a ceramics course and found that the best way to prepare myself for the each lesson is sit down the evening before and do little sketches of things i wanna paint on the forms. because the method of painting on ceramics is color first, lines on top of it, these sketches were drawn in that manner- promarker shapes first, loose lineart after.
idk i just really like baby dragons and sabrehs (”Barbary fig” or “Cactus pear“)

hi there! welcome to a wretched hive of scum and villainy. enjoy your stay! :D
Sketch for a hypothetical sculpture. A mashup between Degas’ “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen” and Danziger’s “Nimrod”.
Degas was known misogynist, who was quoted comparing the ballet dancers he made a career out of drawing, to work horses and rats. His Little Dancer used to be one of my favorite sculptures, until I saw it last year in DC and read up about it and him, and what I learned saddened me deeply.
I carried that sadness around for a while. Yesterday I went to the Israel Museum and saw another one of my all time favorite sculptures, Nimrod. The biblical character Nimrod is described as “a mighty hunter before the Lord.” But the root from which his name comes means “to rebel,” and in Talmudic literature, he is the despised idolater who erected the Tower of Babel in order to overthrow God. Danziger took the hawk on Nimrod’s shoulder from Egyptian art, underscoring the link between his sculpture and the ancient pagan world. The absence of legs likens the figure to an archaeological find, as does the reddish sandstone from Petra.
I suddenly realized how similar they look- same arm pose, same defiant, chin-up manner.
So I gave the little dancer a hawk, and cut off her “work horse” legs, and finally her defying stance is complete. She can finally rebel against her oppressors, armed with Nimrod’s mythical hunting abilities and his intent to overthrow the powers who would dominate him. Time’s up.
i’m posting this NOT bc im proud of it or think it’s good at all, but bc it’s my way of motivating/forcing myself to start drawing comics more seriously.
