2025 Year in Review: Wins, Losses, and Year of the Horse Freebie! ✨🐎🔥

By YamPuff Jan 19, 2026 1 Comment

With 2026 starting and already going strong, I shared a little 2025 Year in Review over on Instagram — a mix of wins, losses, and the reality of running a creative small business. I figured it was worth expanding on that here, because if there’s one thing 2025 taught me, it’s that progress is rarely a straight line. (more…)

Love and Deep Space Coloring Page Freebie

By YamPuff Feb 09, 2025 2 Comments

Once upon a time, back in my DeviantArt days, I made my start as a 'professional' artist with chibi commissions. Originally I drew people's Poupeegirls (a now defunct doll website) in return for in-game currency. I spent countless hours turning people’s OCs, favorite characters, and even themselves into chibis. You can still find some of my first commissions on my DevArt account. I eventually expanded to logo and banner designs, creating characters and mascots for bakeries and merch, and more. It was fun but eventually, as I began to focus on my own art and creating coloring books, I began…

Wacom Cintiq vs the iPad: A Comprehensive Comparison

By YamPuff Oct 25, 2024 6 Comments

Last summer, I finally caved and bought an iPad. I couldn’t help it—I had watched too many Instagram reels and Tiktoks of people creating art on Procreate, and I wanted in on the action. It was not a decision I made lightly, however. When it comes to my drawing tools, I am picky. And while I adore my Wacom Cintiq, I was eager to explore new options and see what else was out there. If you've been considering starting digital art and are unsure whether an iPad or a display tablet is the right fit for you, you're in the…

Artificial Imagination: an Exploration of AI-Generated Art

By YamPuff Sep 27, 2024 0 Comments

This blog post is one I have wrangled with for some time. I created the actual word doc months ago. The topic of artificial intelligence, or AI as it’s more commonly known, is everywhere and it is evolving day by day. Just writing this article felt like trying to hit a moving target. AI is divisive and controversial, and the only thing we can be sure of is that it’s not going away any time soon. So, what is AI exactly? I asked ChatGPT himself (herself? Itself?) and this was the reply: (more…)

5 Reasons Why I Don’t Like Photoshop (And Use CSP Instead)

By YamPuff Dec 14, 2023 0 Comments

One of the most common questions you get asked as a digital artist is ‘what program do you use?’ (the second most common question being ‘can you draw me something free in exchange for exposure?’). I use a program called Clip Studio Paint (CSP) for my art, a software which is criminally overlooked. And while there are multitudes of interesting and varied art programs out there, the king of photo editing and graphic art software is undoubtedly Photoshop. (more…)

5 reasons I am Glad Etsy Disabled my Shop (and why I Opened a Gumroad Account instead)

By YamPuff Dec 10, 2023 4 Comments

There’s a reason why content creators and influencers are often warned not to ‘put all their eggs in one basket’. We’re only ever one hacker away from our work being lost forever. Our accounts can be disabled by any faceless moderator employed by the multi-million-dollar apps we use to reach our audience and sell our wares. I’m sure you’ve heard of at least one influencer or creator whose account was lost at some point for whatever reason, and it may have even happened to you. (more…)
