Lore // Unpolished and unkempt

February 6, 2025 by Ajey

🖤 Welcome to Artopsy

I’ve been writing and rewriting this intro, trying to make it sound like I know exactly what I want to say — but let me be real with you:
I just want to make shit that makes people happy.

Artopsy is a space where I share the things I create — not just for the sake of art, but so you can take those things and make something of your own. That’s always been the root of it. This started as Myspace layouts and Tumblr themes, then evolved into downloadable resources for programs like Photoshop and Illustrator.

My sites have changed. My focus has shifted. But that urge to grow, share, and create together? That’s still very much alive.

We’ve been through a lot of stages. And now?
The duchess is dead. Welcome to her Artopsy.

💻 Why I’m Launching Now (Even If It’s Not “Ready”)

My original plan was to, like in years past, stockpile a ton of content and drop it all in one grand reveal.

But I’ve got a full-time job. A little grandma dog. A fiancé with two daughters I love dearly.
Who has the time for perfection?

So we’re doing things differently. We’re growing Artopsy together.

Each week, I’ll drop a few pieces at a time — coloring pages, Photoshop brushes, Procreate brush sets, maybe a tutorial or two. Some will be free. Some will be little paid gems. All of them are designed to help you make more art, with less stress.

This isn’t about chasing algorithms or making noise — it’s about building a cozy, creative corner of the internet where artists and colorers and creatives can feel at home.

🌈 What to Expect From Artopsy

  • ✏️ Printable coloring pages (both fun and beautifully weird)
  • 🖌️ Custom brush sets for Photoshop & Procreate
  • 📚 Written tutorials & guides (because filming overstimulates me tbh)
  • 🎨 Traditional and digital hybrid resources
  • 🪄 Occasional chaos, coziness, and creativity

🤝 Let’s Grow This Thing

I’m not perfect. This site won’t always be polished.
But if you’ve followed me through Duchess, Sugarsmack, Savage, Chimera, or Gambyte — you already know that.

What matters is that I’m showing up.
What matters is that you are here.
And I can’t wait to see what we make together.

Thanks for being part of it 💗
