Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France.
So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness.
There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time.
Good luck, and love as always

Getting Theater Dysentery from cineplex nachos really added to the sense of unwellness Nosferatu was going for. Five stars.

Here's an idea for a holiday gift; Pet portraits of your lil goobers!

I can draw your pets and you can show them the picture and be all
"This is what you look like, you dumb idiot"

Let me humiliate your pets. DM for prices!

Early concepts for a psychic operative. Trying to find the right style still but getting closer.

Cyberculy looking outfit: a psychic field operative with a hovering psionic implant Amp wired to their wrist. Outfit vibe is military-bondage? I dunno I'm bad at this alt text thing

Character outfit guide. I liked this a lot when I did it but now I find it a littler cartoony for the vibe I'm going for with Ghost/Meat.

#ghost/Meat #concept #illustration #drawing #character #cybercult #goth

Character concept art for "mires". Ranges from goth street wear, 70s himbo summer look, to more occult military vibes. More cartoony than I'd like but decent base pose.

I think if those kids ever caught Carmen San Diego, she woulda went to jail for a long time. She would have died in prison.

This is one of my favorite older pieces. I've never been able to match the vibe of it and it *kills me*.
