I've been updating my print store to have more of my EDO and latest paintings up, and there's a 20% sale right now! So now's a great time to pick one up! International folks, I'd recommend waiting until there's a free shipping weekend.

NGL folks. Moving even just one of these originals would really make a difference for my husband & I with our continually piling up medical bills.🥲 Plz help spread the word, if you can. Even just re-sharing is powerful for small artists like me.🙏
If you've ever wanted to collect one of my originals, here's a great opportunity! I'm offering these pieces currently via the @changelingart.bsky.social's Deck the Halls auction with extremely fair starting bids.

Place your bids here by commenting on the images:

Hey illustrators/agents!

I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; texture (printmakingish); AND BATS! Lively, active, swarming BATS!

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.

More SoIaF calender art! This time ALL the horses. I really enjoy painting horses but this one was a challenge with so many. Oberyn arriving with his cohort. I managed to sneak the Hogg family banner in there as it's legit a family he travelled with :D

Anyone at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social this weekend, I noticed Jimmy mulligan selling in one of the vendor halls, be aware he was thrown out of dragon con artist alley for using AI.

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. 😊 The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character 😅

Yay! A new studio space has been found and it’s perfect! I’m able to move in now but need to come up with my part of the security deposit fast!

Can y’all help me out and boost my shop and ko-fi? I’d be so grateful if I can secure this spot asap!

Another calendar piece! One of those pieces that when I did the digital sketch, I forgot I couldn't copy & paste in oils. Dany in one of her most iconic moments, taking control of the Unsullied.

Well this was a siren song I couldn't resist late at night when i should really be sleeping. Cara is all about sexy things in red, and she seems to be my fashion muse.

I've never shared all of the images from the official SoIaF calendar I did for 2020, choosing scenes that inspired me from across the series. These are all 2ft square oil paintings, and remain some of the most intense, accomplished work of my career. Up first is Ned and Cat under the heart tree.

It’s my birthday! 🎉 May I be so bold as to ask to share my art?

Below I’m going to drop some links (ko-fi tip jar, portrait commissions, contact for freelance) as all kinds of support are incredibly appreciated in these trying times! 💖

Why is it I can crop this picture of my cat and his body is equidistant from the edges of the rectangular image border. This is not how to cat, sir. Your head should not be in the centre of your body, dangit.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

I'm not a big comics' reader, mostly as I have issues following sequential art, my brain gets stuck. But damn if this page of artwork didn't immediately make me go look at the site and send it on to a few folks I know. The layout and detail in the art is *amazing*
