MY TURN

TBH; I’ve been hesitant even linking to my other social accounts because I really haven’t been producing much art in general the last year. Without going too much into detail I’ve had to put a halt to everything I was doing for my personal artwork and online shop, in the last few months especially, to focus solely on a temporarily very intense project for my job and my personal wellbeing outside it. 

And then the Tumblpocalypse was announced and while I haven’t been personally affected, I’ve known for the better part of the year that I can’t maintain it anymore and have had far better luck cultivating my Instagram and Twitter. 

SO– if youre on either, feel free to follow me there, links up top! Once things finally calm down at work in 2019 I’m eager to get back into the drawing seat, but for now at least I thought I’d share. I’m not deleting this tumblr or anything, but it hasn’t been updated for months and probably will not be going forward aside from links to my other accounts. You can also always see my work on my personal website and Teeniesaurs website. 

Thank you all for the wonderful years I’ve had on Tumblr ;A; 

@sheerpoetry7 Possibly now yeah I could do that :)  When using tumblr before I had to re-upload every photo/art piece manually in a specific way to prevent tumblr users from doing that whole reblogging-and-removing-text nonsense, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of trying to get things like my shop link spread around, on top of being incredibly irritating. 

I’ll be honest stuff like that + tumblr ads getting intrusive were also pretty big contributors to why I stopped wanting to devote extra energy I didnt have anyway into updating tumblr. I’m hoping that the tumblr community has stagnated enough at this point that some of the rude trollsters like that already got their kicks and left so I can go back to easy instagram sharing lol.

WHERE HAVE I BEEN

Hey guys! I was gonna post a new art update and tack this onto it, but I felt like I should just clarify it in it’s own text post.

Where have I been???

Online still! If you follow me on Instagram & Twitter (which I would highly encourage you to do if you haven’t yet, I post on both more often! ) then you’ve seen me still fairly regularly posting art and shop updates. The reason I went silent on Tumblr really just happened because of lack of time. Last year I know was difficult for everyone, myself included, struggling against a lot of motivational hurdles and some personal job-related hurdles. I tried to keep updating on my other outlets as much as possible both out of want and necessity to keep my shop running, but running more outlets than that was just energy I didn’t have. Things are still pretty busy for me, but Id like to try and start updating tumblr regularly again just so I have a blog somewhere still going. I’ve had this tumblr since 2011 so it’d be a shame to just grind all that progress to a halt.

Anyway, I’m gonna try and start posting more! I will also add though that I don’t engage in ‘community’ much here beyond posting- e.g. asks and chat. PLEASE do NOT chat me unless you’re a mutual or you already have with a question in the past, most likely otherwise I will not see it or not be able to respond, I’m just too busy to keep chats going and more often than not i get bot blog chats, its exhausting to sift through it all. Asks I’m far more likely to respond to. If you have a general question I’ll try my best to answer important ones via asks or you can reach me with my email on my portfolio website link on my page. 

Thank you! My Instagram + Twitter accounts are both @ doodlelust  if you havent followed me there yet <3

The September Teeniesaur box is in my shop! 

www.doodlelust.myshopify.com

Scroll left for more photos~ The box comes with the two charms, stickers, a new print and the Teeniesaurs Logo pin returns to accompany the new crested carnivore! This box is also limited in number so grab yours soon!

Apologies again for the severe lack of updates, a lot has been going on in my personal life and another reminder I don’t use Tumblr much anymore. I will still post here as much as I can, but if you don’t want to miss anything be sure to follow me on Instagram and/or Twitter if you have them, my username for both is @ doodlelust​! Thank you! :D

Hey babes! I’m offering a limited run of prints to donate the proceeds to the NAACP and Charlottesville Pride- PLEASE READ IF YOURE INTERESTED 💜

if you’re a long time follower you’ll recognize the one on the right, the original painting was sold earlier this year at an auction. Now it’s back in print form, and I have a brand new mermaid print I’m offering too! Each print 8x10" size, only $10, and if you live in the U.S. I’ll ship it to you for free! (if you’re international and really want a print or two I can send it to you, but will be an additional $12 to send unfortunately due to label costs + secure packaging to protect it). The proceeds from both will be split evenly between the two named organizations. There are only 10 of each print, they are hand signed and numbered on the back, and printed on fine velvet art paper. 

EMAIL/PAYPAL : kirsten.a.kneeland@gmail.com, email me first to confirm availability, then send payment via paypal with your print(s) choice and U.S. mailing address! These are not in my shop due to the restrictions my store has on shipping options, so I’m just taking payment over paypal. Prints will ship out this Friday to let them sell over the course of the week. Thank you!! 

I haven’t shared these here yet! New bags available in my shop, Teeniesaur + Bapho girl pencil bags! Currently there are only TWO of the above Teeniesaur bags, they will be reordered but probably closer to the Fall when I get ready to the Fall cons. Grab yours here!  https://doodlelust.myshopify.com/
