In other news from @artescampcreations.bsky.social , I can sit and not talk while painting so work continues on the All Small pieces. 1.5 days to go
Photo of 3 plain 7 inch wood panels side by side, primed and ready for art Three wood panels side by side, now framed by a paint palette and brush jar. Each piece has now been painted with an underpainting in deep yellow, with a rough sketch of strange creatures parading across the three panels. The sky behind them has been blocked in in a gradient from ultramarine to sky blue, left to right. The three panels continue to evolve. The right hand panel has had details in green and brown roughed in in the form of forest floor, fern-shapes, and trees framing the creatures, three of which have started to have colors blocked in The three wood panels continue to evolve, now with all the creatures of right hand panel blocked in - there's a bipedal purple creature with a huge drum, a strange yellow blob with 4 legs and two arms trumpeting at the front, and several more colorful small ones throughout. The middle panel has a large beaked biped holding a pennant. There is a giant lime green form appe appearing in the background, and manykrs beginning to take form. The left-most panel remains sketched out with just sky painted in, and the scene begins to coalesce onto a fantastical parade emerging from the dark woods.

So much of my art is based in my wonder the world and nature and weirdness and whimsy and just how cool things can be and any ways, did you know that there's a tiny blue mason bee that's particularly good at pollinating blueberries because it can "sing" the right song?

Pictures are not doing the fabric justice but Elvis worm beanie complete!!

Happy #WormWednesday !

🐡🦑🐙
A beanie with an appliqué and embroidery Elvis worm. The scales are only stitched down where they overlap so they ends are loose along it more 3D. The scale fabric is a blue purple holographic fabric with a lot of sheen. There is white fluffy material stitched down for the bristles.

Magique Nouveau ✨🎀 (I had so much fun trying to figure out how to decorate everything, inch by inch 🤧)
A vibrantly-colorful illustration of a highly detailed, miniature enclosed world. There are various magical-girl-style costumed femme figures who are posed and moving within a blocky, art-nouveau architecture inspired landscape colored in teal, purple, brass and silver. The scene does not follow standard linear perspective but has a flattend, isometric-abstract perspective (so figures like a mysterious woman observing out from a window in the top left are much larger than the women and girls in front of her. There are 3 central main-character girls in middle ground (color-themed in cyan, yellow and red) who are posed with their magical weapons/tools, such as a fan, sword, and moon staff, and are accompanied by their blocky magical support creatures (I imagine acting like stands or pokemon?). The top yellow-sword girl has pink hair, and appears related to the mysterious aforementioned window-woman. At left is an older magical-woman (the older sister of the cyan-moon girl?) raising a staff emitting ray of light that inverts the colors of the world in it’s path, which is shining on a moody, crouched girl who also has pink hair at the bottom right. Above the crouched girl is another professionally demure, office-dressed woman with hands clasped in prayer (the older sister of the red fan girl?). The humans are diverse and are imagined in a variety of black, brown and white skin tones. Below everyone a black-colored axolotl serpent decorated with stars and sparkles slithers through the landscape and splashes into water, and tagging along is its baby serpent. Many parts of the landscape are decorated with intricate tile work and stained glass pattern elements. Different blocks, piping and wires flow in and out of the different buildings, while two large sails are set in the top right background, above which floats a large, founder like fished decorated with a flower tile pattern.

That's Not A Shrubbery, Guy.

Gouache bird-being. Another I am very proud of.

#art
a illustration on white paper, set against a brown board. the illustration is in vibrant forest greens and magentas, with a strange feathered bird creature with four legs and a long neck. the creature is facing away from the viewer but their neck curves around to peer at us. a bright blue starry eye compliments the blue highlights in the magenta beak, while a lime green stripe of feathers stretch back And down it's neck to form a blanket of green draped across the bird-thing's neck.

In The Weeds, Guy
Gouache in skerchbook.

I'm slowly going to start posting my blacklog from my insta and sketchbooks.
It's been hard to make art lately, but looking back at my lil guys makes me remember how much I love playing with color and weird creatures.

Block anyone posting about the LGB or LGBQ+ community. This is an active effort to erase trans people.

There is no Pride without trans people. Specifically trans people of colour. Dropping the T is bootlicking. It's throwing them under the bus and waiting happily to be next.

the important thing to know about my ceramics practice is that unlike everything else in my life, I approach this with a deep unseriousness.
