Instead of keeping my lore under the rug, I'm creating a series I hope to turn into my first solo show.
Suburban Wonderland is a surreal dive into my inner world - dreams that have haunted me since early childhood and the long term impact of growing up with a narcissistic parent.

Lots of tiny details to separate the guts and the smaller heads. Also some work around the face to blend it all into something a little less chaotic.

This year, I'm opening up about the stories behind my work in an effort to connect with others, have others connect with my work, and practice vulnerability. As a dark artist, I feel that is an essential part of my being and the key to human made artwork in a rising sea of AI generated nonsense.

Another sweet memorial portrait for the books. It may not be my usual fare of dark art but it sure makes people happy.

Doing some portrait studies for Suburban Wonderland. I've always thought painting what my dream people look like would be extra creepy and I was right lol

What a great book from @jehu.bsky.social - I’ve spent my whole life looking for folks who’d be comfy talking about both Barkmarket and theology and how the two can even meet - what a text!

Both of my parents are single again, should I play matchmaker?

It is so important to create. You and I both know it is akin to breathing for artists. Make art for yourself, always, and know brighter days will return.
I may be a dark artist, a dark individual, but I do feel hope even in this bleak abyss.

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.
We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

After six weeks of working both at the bar and in preparation of the convention, I'm taking a well earned week off to play The Binding of Isaac and watch obscure movies.

Five years ago, I told myself I could teach myself how to paint and paint well. I'd been a colored pencil artist for over a decade and switching gears was daunting but look at how far I've come.
It's okay to be proud of yourself and make weird art!

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.
