some w.i.p.s (I started this on a flight using my phone as a flashlight so I didn't get a good pencils-only shot)

...hey, who am I talkin' to?

it's funny, in years past I would pore over every single detail. all the elements would have to be just right, everything at the same ridiculous standard. to think of the time wasted on meticulously cleaning up linework. now in post-AI times, I find myself appreciating the warmth of little mistakes

allow me to feed some more data to the insatiable beast of the world wide web. trying to jump through from concept→sketch→final at a quicker pace, as it demands, but I also kinda like how messy and imperfect it's turning out

one of my teachers in art school told me to scan everything you make, no matter what, and i've been doing that ever since
June 26, 2025 at 3:17 AM
it's done, and i'm posting it. called a last minute audible and decided to color it irl instead of digital, which I'm trying to do more of these days. this has kind of a nice weird visual effect that (sadly) doesn't translate to a flat scan, but that didn't stop me from also doing that

it's 3am again. there needs to be some kinda like internet bartender who cuts me off after too many scrolls. here's a thing I've been doing about a cat who's a little on edge, much like myself

originally it served to separate Bushwick and Newtown (now Ridgewood). True borough ownership over it has been a bit of a dispute since its excavation.

one day I was walking around Maspeth and saw a rock just as big in the middle of the road. idk, seems like we have enough giant rocks to go around

the original thought was simply that "arbitration rock" would make a kickass name for an album. I didn't exactly endeavor to make the hypothetical cover for that album, but just played around in that sandbox for a bit, I guess. Arbitration Rock is an actual monument in Queens.

"arbitration rock"

I often find myself in this strange phenomenon of beginning a drawing with a loose concept in mind and, through the process of creating it, finding it take on a strange relevance to things happening around me. I feel like there's probably a word for this in another language.

doing that thing where I keep chipping away at the minutiae of a piece, so I'm calling it here. I like how the pen work did most of the heavy lifting here, kinda feel like it didn't even need color. anyway, lots more to draw & time to move on. sorry I told you to scram before btw, we're still homies

ok, finally. I finally clawed back enough free time from day job so I could finish this drawing, which may or may not have any meaning. but I'm into it, it's coming together. time to color, scram kiddo, let me cook
May 21, 2025 at 5:32 AM
i refuse to work under these conditions
May 1, 2025 at 10:33 PM
feels like forever since i've had time to draw something completely random. they used to call it 'daydreaming.' anyway here's a new thing cooking:

some process shots. the grip/shape of the hand bothered me early on and by the time I was done rendering the background, I decided to re-do it completely. I like that you can see my pencil whittle down to basically nothing by the end
