“Misty Woods”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dark, closed-in forest with breaks of sunlight and fog. Streaks of light shine through the dense canopy as a small, hidden feline watches the surroundings from a safe enclosure.

All the crap that’s happening makes me want to double-down on my art, b/c joy, hope, and dignity are the small seeds from which everything grows.

My art is my defiance. Empathy, feelings, and creativity are not bad things. Power is puny beside them.

For art’s sake, I spit my heart at thee.

Fnatastical illustration of a giant bloom of yellow flowers, surrounded by hand-holding mice in a blue glow emanating from the base of the stalk, painted against a dark watercolor background.

A digital painting of an ocean scene, mostly coloured in warm oranges. In the foreground, it's mostly clusters of coral, and a moray eel looking over at the more open water where groups of fish swim around A digital painting of Jaime Reyes as Blue Beetle, unmasked and smiling as he looks up at the starry night sky. He is flying, Khaji Da is behind on his back. At the bottom of the image it reads "Blue Beetle." A digital painting of Amir Beckett and Sevagoth Glaukus from warframe. Amir is smooching Sevagoth, and Sevagoth is standing there taking it, looking kind of clueless and adorable about it. A digital painting of a breakfast study. It features a plate of huevos rancheros with salsa, lime, avocado and egg, and a mug of coffee. The coffee mug has the arkham asylum logo on it.

Stream in approx two hours. Expect more scuffed shenanigans since I didn't do much testing of the new mic setup in advance. I'll need to have people tell me if I'm blasting their ears out or if they can't hear shit bc I'm a dingdong who's a total noob.

Stream is still on for tomorrow. It'll be a gaming stream ( and maybe a little art if I'm feeling it ).

Starting at 6PM EST! It may run longer than the planned two hour window, if I have the energy!

Games on the docket:

- Coromon
- Slay the Princess
- A Date with Death

Thanks for hosting, Symon!

A brief intro? I’m Dug, a Metro Detroiter who spent 25 years as a graphic designer until the newspaper closed. Now (mostly) retired I’m returning to my surrealist roots working in traditional pen & pencil drawing & polymer clay sculpture

Today, I offer some ink work you!
A 8.5x11 inch ballpoint pen drawing of a group of 15 heirloom pumpkins, the two in the foreground look vaguely like oversized bell peppers A pen drawing of a rhinoceros with a house-shaped burden on its back. The rhino is mostly grey. The house has the number 20 and letter “w” and a scissor headed bird on the front. There is a long brass pole that extends out horizontally from the structure that has a pumpkin dangling from it A ballpoint pen drawing of a caricature of a young woman with an oversized head, her hair gently moved by the wind stands in a small ship (based on a Little Tikes tugboat shaped sandbox) holds onto the cabin with her left hand. There is nobody at the wheel of the ship. In her right is a bird house that has a suitcase handle attached to the roof. Above her head is a blender, the electric cord curving around like a halo. And around the blender is a swirling cloud of razor blades. The sky is overcast, and there are gentle but pronounced swells in the water. At the bottom right, just below the waterline a circling shark can be seen. A realistic ballpoint pen drawing of an old pair of black high top sneakers

It feels odd to share something right now, but I'm truly hoping this gives some folks out there a break from the doom. The first piece for my Dusklight Archive project is complete, titled "The Price of Reclamation."

More details in the next post. #illustration #humanmade
A digital painting of a dragon that looks like it is made from living wood, crowed with green leaves. Its eye is glowing bright emerald, summoning the magic of new vines and plant growth that are wrapping around the charred trunks of the burned forest it stands in.

Mmm, cookies. 😋🍪
A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a green barking treefrog perched at the edge of a table, reaching out with one paw to take a chocolate chip cookie from a plate of cookies. Hand-written text above the frog says “Just One Cookie…” in white on a dark blue-grey background. The plate is at the bottom of the image, cream white with a gold line around the border. There are three cookies visible, one of which is in the frog’s paw. The frog is seen from above, eyes looking up at the viewer, smiling. They are facing left, with their left front paw edging the cookie off the plate. They are round, green, and flattish, with a yellow-green underside with a brown stripe along their sides. They have large brown-irised eyes that are mostly black pupil (the real frog has horizontal pupils). The table is brown wood, like cherry wood.

In progress: "self (more reasons than I have fingers)", graphite on paper, 10x10" #art #wip
A pencil drawing self portrait. I am facing the viewer with my hands in front of my face, the thumb and forefinger of my right hand are counting off fingers on my left hand. I'm wearing a black baseball cap. It's a simple interior scene with a framed print over my right shoulder & a door in a hallway behind me.
