What did the username euqinimodart mean, and why did you change it?
It is simply my first name backwards, plus the word “art”. I created it in college sophomore year when I noticed other artists creating fancy aliases (little did we know that we’d have to change our usernames years later).
Are euqinimodart and dominiqueramseyart the same artist?
Yes, both of those are my usernames. My art did change drastically around 2020 so anyone who knew my art 2015-2019 will be quite confused.
Do you still go by euqinimodart on social media?
EDIT SEPT 2025: I have locked my Twitter account and no longer use it. My Bluesky handle name has been changed to @dominiqueramseyart for consistency.
I do, both my Twitter and Bluesky account still go by euqinimodart. Bluesky is much newer and created after my username change, but It is not a professional site so I didn’t mind giving it the old username (it’s basically Twitter’s evil twin anyway).
