Now that Christmas is past - here’s a gift my daughter and I made for my mom. She did the underpainting in acrylic, I went back and made the portrait in acrylic ink and gouache, and then she came back in and doodled on top of it. 11x14, gouache, acrylic, colored pencil. #portrait #gouache #acrylic

Ahhh I still like these. I need to carve out more time to screw around like this, it just always ends up low on my priorities.

Zbrush and…blender 2 something at the time. 2.7?

Me: “boy I’ll have some time at the end of year with my freelance projects out of the way to work on some personal stuff!”

Also me: “we need to go to this place, this needs to be repaired, we need to get this done, so and so wants to hang out…”

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.

I’m pretty sure I brought this up like a month or two ago, but seeing a bunch of sculptors I respected work wise tripping over themselves to explain why they’re using AI is just fucking embarrassing. Do you even hear yourself?

Leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

TODAY ON EVERYDAY ORIGINAL - a study I did a couple months ago for a planned larger painting for David Cronenberg’s The Fly. This was a movie that I knew before I saw it because I saw the makeup/fx show at Universal Studios Orlando Everydayoriginal.com #gouache #coloredpencil #thefly

Got a new gouache palette box I’ve been loving, cracked open a toned sketchbook, and have been messing with limited palettes. I’m going to gradually add more color as I go.

This is the last week of my sale and after that the store closes! Code SALE at checkout gives you 20% off

Recently got a new palette for my gouache paint, love how this one keeps the paint workable between sessions because of the airtight lid.

Just a reminder, there’s still a sale going on at my shop, 20% until Dec 1 with code SALE at checkout!

Slowly filling out throat scales for a bit. Scales are just tedious work, but it’s easy tedious work.

As a reminder; my sale is on! 20% off with code SALE. www.asidesart.com/store

Been picking away at this for a little now in between projects. I think the face might need to be revisited but it’s certainly shaping up. Stegosaurs are weird. #dinosaurs #zbrush

That Coca Cola ad is fucking terrible. They employed 100 people and generated 70,000 hours of video and that garbage was the best they could do.

Man, so good.
While I patiently wait for this tariff situation to fix itself, so I can get book two printed, I'll share some art from the Ancient Ones series.

Little warmup tonight before sitting down to work. I like the smaller head characterization going on, much more fresh and immediate. Still working out a non conte solution for newsprint, this was done with a fat cretacolor crayon.

You know, it’s bad to listen to any think tank in general, but it’s especially bad to listen to one like Third Way that consistently gets its logic wrong and then goes “oh gee, a Mamdani win might be bad because he believes in stuff”

Watching Adobe Max for work, the amount of AI shit they’re cramming into their programs makes me hope the whole company implodes the minute the bubble pops.

More mucking about with gouache - did a small piece of THE FLY, one of my favorite horror movies. I’ve had doodles for a larger piece for sometime now, I just need to set aside time to work on it. #thefly #cronenberg #gouache

Listen, I like Discord for chatting with friends. I absolutely detest it as an alternative to a forum, or at least a subreddit.

“Check out the discord” is like a spell uttered to drive me away
