I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

Me and my tatting (and some prints) are at Irish Fest in Roswell today! This isn't my usual setup, so we'll see how it goes, haha. The weather is great and so is the music!

A sunlit display of shuttle tatted jewelry in different colors of cotton thread. There's a row of lacy leaves, some cat paws with beaded claws, a row of hoops, and some intricate chokers.

Saw something that @realgdt.bsky.social said the other day, and remembered I had something I started a while ago that I should finish up.

I'm so tired of all this.

If you didn't know this existed, there's actually 1 more place that Bluesky has labels coming out of, and that's here, which we're ALL registered to by default and can't opt out of, but it's not CLEAR where these settings are until you find them: bsky.app/profile/mode...

going to put forth one of my most die-hard takes again: there is no content that is inappropriate for any age group. it's all in the way you present it and discuss it with them. the content itself is the world they live in and you're not helping them by pretending their world is better than it is

A sketch done with a rainbow pencil of a cute fat cat laying down and doodling. Around the cat are stars, squiggles, and other doodles, as well as the words: “why would I use AI when I can just not.”

The deadly mermaid is here! She is a little bored today, no one new to meet and greet in the sea and invite down to the depths with her💀
An illustration of a mermaid laying on her side with her back to us. She has pale hair and a red tail with dark pink skin. Her fins are translucent and can be seen to be so as they curl around her back. Around her are bones and skulls of humans. She rests her arm on a skull. The background is a plain light peachy pink

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together. A man curled over onto his elbows, his head in his hands, amidst green leaves. A glowing, luminous dagger dangles above his neck and spine. His hands are cupped and outstretched towards the sky. Luminous liquid slips through his fingers. A small child holding a bunny rabbit stuffed animal standing in front of a line of darkened forest. Inside the forest are lots of glowing sets of eyes An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

Hen and Frog.

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm.
Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen startled by a frog leaping out from a small cluster of ferns. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

It rained some on Sunday, so I had to spend a couple of days drying out my soggy market gear. I bet the sports bar behind my place has questions, haha.
Forty feet of white tent walls and a reflective tent top flutter off a second-story wooden deck, looking vaguely like ship sails or a large amount of laundry.

I've been working in sketchbooks more as part of a class assignment; here are some of my recent sketches 👉👈 I've been trying to draw what comes to me in the moment, and not worry too much about the output or making everything perfect, but also put time into each to make it feel 'done' as a sketch.
Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a woman with stylized hair Graphite and white charcoal sketch on toned paper of a figure with a stylized owl headdress. The wings of the headdress cover the figure's eyes. A graphite sketch of a a face surrounded by a sphere of churning, splashing water A graphite sketch of a beared man with a sword plunging through his forehead and out his chin (in a stylized, non gory way).

I should be packaging prints for tomorrow, but I'm making more rainbow garlands for my booth neighbors instead. PRIORITIES! (Arya is halping.)
#artlife
A white coffee table with three chaotic piles of string and strips of fabricin rainbow colors. (They will become rainbow garlands for art market tents.) A tabby cat is crouched between the first two piles, clearly plotting.
