Hi all!
I’m cass, this is where I draw fantasy characters, including funny little guys from my ttrpg campaigns.
Want me to draw Your funny little guys from Your ttrpg campaigns?
Then you should check out my commissions page, store, ko-fi, and portfolio!
My non-fantasy personal art is very queer, anarchist, and religiously influenced just like me. C:
Instead of “live laugh love” or “home is where the heart is” my (wonderful, progressive, very accepting) dad put up the racism sign in the foyer
whats the racism sign?
The racism sign, as I like to call it, is from an art piece I made halfway through my first semester of art school:
It reads “any attempted theft will be reported to the police” in the 15 most commonly spoken languages by immigrants here other than English or other western european languages (in descending order).
This sign was only half of the art piece, the other half was the most stereotypically Icelandic painting I could think of:
When the piece was shown the painting and the sign were hung on opposite sides of the room, making the sign more of an afterthought for those who don’t speak any of the languages written on the sign. Standing out just enough for them to notice it and maybe wonder what it said, but ultimately not giving it a second thought for the most part.
I wanted to highlight one of the most common ways racism and xenophobia present themselves here as well as the comfort of ignorance. The sign doesn’t cater to you, you ignore it it, and you don’t care what it might say. You don’t have to think about it because it doesn’t affect you.
For those who can read the sign though, or bother to translate it, this is just yet another reminder of people’s ignorance and double standards. My inspiration for this piece came from my old workplace, where they had this sign hanging on one of the doors:
The main things that stood out about this to me were that
- It was the only sign on the premises written in anything other than Icelandic and/or English
- All of the additional languages (Vietnamese, Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian) specifically targeted minority groups that already face discrimination here
- The location of the sign. We only had 1 of these, and they chose to put it up somewhere where only staff would see it rather than the customers. In fact, it was right next to the break room so you had to walk past it every time you went on break. And it was a sign reminding people not to steal. Big win for inclusivity here
People love saying that we’re not racist/xenophobic here even though we very much are. The problem is just that so many people don’t take the time to look when it doesn’t directly affect them. I was very happy with my piece because people actually came up to me and asked what the sign said because they wanted to know, it started a conversation and made those previously unaware of this issue more aware. I wonder if these sorts of signs would be anywhere near as commonplace as they are if more people looked at them critically and asked “why is this the thing we bother translating?”
Anyway, all that aside I love my dad and I like the way this art piece turned out but also I am slightly worried about giving people the wrong idea when this is the first thing they see when they enter our home 💀
Well if you want my permission to show it then you have it :))

My new Spider-Sona
This post and its notes are the most blessed things in the world
my cohost is the same @ as here btw!!! I miss my art friends :’)
My friend forgot to secure the latch on his magic card briefcase and all his commander decks are now mixed together. Now he’s playing 1200 card pickup and has to reorganize everything.

sooo, I just got back from camping, and I saw this weird deer in the woods? she had this perfectly quaffed hairdo… wasn’t acting weird or anything, but there was no other people within 10 miles… it kinda smelled like incense and manic panic….
Today I learned that we were gonna maybe get Walupeach but she was scrapped bc she “would be just like Doronjo” so I had to do a Doronjo-esque take on Walupeach
Omygod what a baddie
UPD - I drew Heather into another picture I took while exploring the South East USA coast! I’m not from the USA originally so it was so INSPIRING to see all the nature I love in real life, not just the photos. Heather is enjoying it a lot, too >:)
