I was recently asked if I listen to music when I work. Generally, yes I do, though sometimes I get so absorbed, I forget to ever turn something on!
Fellow Artists! Do you listen to music when you work?

Not going to lie, I'm beginning to get some Giger/Alien vibes from this one.

First finished piece since the end of Birdtober! A Ruby-crowned Kinglet enjoying the beautiful fall leaves. #NearbyNature2025 fun fact: apparently they run on just 10 calories a day, which is funny considering how they never stay still!

Regret
2025
graphite and digital color

-{ #art | #illustration | #fantasy }-
"Regret" presents Beatrice, a character from the animated series Over the Garden Wall. Beatrice was cursed after throwing a rock at a bluebird: all her 12 relatives, as well as her, were transformed into bluebirds. The illustration shows us her transformation, looking in shock and crying as her right arm transforms into a bird's wing. She stands in front of a dark forest, the deep orange of autumn slowly being consumed by cyan and blue. Flying around her and into the forest we spot 12 bluebirds. The illustration also brings a foot frame, with four pumpkins and Enoch - another character, the ruler of Potsfield - in the center.
