It's Portfolio Day Again My dudes

One of my favorite things about Portfolio Day (a nebulous tradition that in theory is meant for artists who are looking for work to post their stuff) is that it means whatever social media you're on that observes it is littered... ok maybe not that word choice since it has a negative connotation - let's say "drenched"? - in amazing art.

I'm not currently hiring or commissioning anyone but goddamn if I were, I take notes on the work I see and their contact info for later.

The funny thing is that it feels like we've hit a Schrodinger's portfolio day; it's always simultaneously portfolio day and not. I'm told there's an actual schedule to this but you can't make me look it up because it'd ruin the magic. I don't want to plan for it!! I want to see a TL full of amazing shit and go "oh fuck, I need to post my stuff".

Anyway, speaking of my stuff - here:

hi #portfolioDay! I'm msd, I'm an artist who specializes in maximalist art of bird wizard bureaucrats and mechs. I get that it's kind of niche but I gotta be true to myself.
(am also a musician and photographer, available to hire for all 3)

A series of images taped to a larger black graph paper background; various depictions of a hooded figure with glowing eyes, antlers and a bird beak, as well as mechs and various other pieces of machinery

There, did I do ok?
