Why am I wearing makeup in the middle of the day when I work from home? Well, I just recorded an episode of Hangin’Out, the Art podcast with Bruce Brenneise and Allen Morris. We talked about my career from staff illustrator to AD. I hope my ramblings made sense 😜 #artist #artpodcast #interview #chat

Check out this gorgeous painting by my friend @hrabotalesser.bsky.social So beautiful 😍
This painting is of one of the 50 daughters of Nereus. The Nereids were loved by sailors and fishermen, whom they would often aid. #greekmythology

Ok, so Tuesday I am having an open house for my new studio space. Do I go more professional with my rose sleeve shirt, artsy jewelry and maybe a “bad bitch” jacket? Or go full on witchy with a boho dress and black leggings and boots? #artistwardrobe #thelook #witchyvibes

I actually had some time to sketch last night and came up with a couple new witchy concepts. Here is a close-up of one of my new ideas. Anyone else find as soon as you are full with client work, then that’s when the personal art ideas start flowing! lol #witchyart #sketching #fantasyart
