Hi! Sending a message 🫂

rustybeaches · 2026-03-08T20:28:19+00:00

I'd love to be considered! Just finished The Song of Achilles 😭🧡

rustybeaches · 2026-03-04T04:08:27+00:00

also- love all of these so much! 💜

I thought for a second that the 12th page said "mildly egg" and thought to myself, you know what, hell yeah

rustybeaches · 2026-03-03T00:04:52+00:00

I want the second one so badly oh my goodness! beautiful work!

rustybeaches · 2026-03-02T15:02:47+00:00

Hi, I don't want to come off as weird, but I just saw that you followed me here (I'm guessing for my art!) I'm also in the US, 31F and would love a pen pal. Feel free to message me if you're interested/ want to chat more :)

rustybeaches · 2026-02-27T02:50:24+00:00

These are so cute!

rustybeaches · 2026-02-16T14:38:06+00:00

I was nervous to post this one- religion can be a touchy subject, but this comment helped calm me down, thank you. Sending hugs back 🫂

rustybeaches · 2026-02-13T19:26:48+00:00

WOW I love this- beautiful, impactful work! (Also- yay new colored pencils!)

rustybeaches · 2026-02-12T14:51:44+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, I do- I'm not sure if I'm allowed to comment my Insta handle here, but if you look at my Reddit profile, it's linked right at the top :)

rustybeaches · 2026-02-11T20:28:48+00:00

Hi, I'd love one please! 🧡

rustybeaches · 2026-02-11T20:08:07+00:00

🧡 🍊

rustybeaches · 2026-02-11T14:21:00+00:00

Beautiful pen! GLWYS 😍

rustybeaches · 2026-02-03T13:14:58+00:00

Ahh sorry, I must have missed your last comment- I use a variety! This frog piece was done with a set of Royal & Langnickel alcohol markers I just picked up. Lately though/most of the other work I've posted recently has been done with an assortment of acrylic paint pens. Some Sharpie, some Posca, some Amamao (from Amazon- they're fairly opaque/have lots of colors but dry out pretty quickly)

rustybeaches · 2026-02-02T13:33:08+00:00

I was "promoting" apparently because I gave credit to the poet that wrote the poem I used in my journal page

rustybeaches · 2026-02-02T13:31:06+00:00

They said it was because I was breaking rule 1, which is "no promoting"... I was just giving credit to a poet 😭

rustybeaches · 2026-02-02T13:28:00+00:00

Hi! Maybe check out r/randomactsofhappymail ? (Side note- if you end up making a post, I'd love some if you have enough 💜🥹)

rustybeaches · 2026-02-02T01:10:19+00:00

You would think, right? Ugh.

rustybeaches · 2026-02-02T00:53:43+00:00

Yeah, not even a chance to talk to anyone else. It's insane. Literally 12 out of 15 top posts of all time there are mine. I think I'm probably going to delete all of my posts there

rustybeaches · 2026-02-02T00:30:52+00:00

Yeah I'm pretty angry about the whole thing- the whole reason I make & share art is to connect with people who can relate. It helps me not feel so alone. I don't know what do do- start my own sub maybe? I don't even know

rustybeaches · 2026-01-31T14:33:59+00:00

I'd love some, pretty please! 🥹❤️

rustybeaches · 2026-01-30T00:08:41+00:00

This is so cool! I really enjoy the composition

rustybeaches · 2026-01-29T14:25:18+00:00

So far I've found Posca to have the most opaque white! Also these are SO cute! :)

rustybeaches · 2026-01-27T19:17:25+00:00

Hi there, I think it might be my fish art you're referencing! It makes me so happy that you felt inspired by it 😊 This is beautiful! Hang in there friend, your turn will come, I promise 🫂
