Well-Meaning Friend: "But Existential Anxiety Lizard, your art would probably get a lot more attention if you drew things that were happier, sexier, and more exciting!"

Still lowkey pissed I didn't get to see this in its full glory while I was north of the Arctic Circle in Finland (it was cloudy the whole time)

Found this lovely deer skull during hunting season last year. I was going to do a nice euro mount with it but my parents' dogs chewed it up.

I decided to fix it up and I think it looks pretty damn good again! Cut a matching piece from a plastic skull, epoxied it, and painted it to match.

This is actually a companion to this artwork I did last year, "Sogno di Volare." Both artworks are essentially idealized self-portraits meant to capture the rapid oscillation I experience between confidence and anxiety, between aspirations bordering on fantasy and weight of reality and melancholia.

"Want to be Free," graphite with color and effects added digitally.

I've been chipping away at this slowly all year and I think I'm finally happy with it. See the replies below for a brief explanation of the themes/inspiration.

They built a Buc-ees in a city 3 hours away and my mom was like "we're going on an overnight trip to see the new Buc-ees, want to come?"

Got to the part of McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom" where he talks about Gettysburg

Gonna have some family over and watch spooky movies! Probably gonna wear my Union uniform too, for fun (sans the Argonian mask though, that will make it too hard to see the TV)

Venison steaks with a bourbon marinade and pan-fried potatoes for dinner tonight!

I picked up a few little things for myself too. Some cool Cthulhu art, an antique tablecloth that goes well with all my 19th century Germanic decor, a neat little stein, and some very comfy socks with tiny meese

Lowkey in another Civil War phase now though. Nathaniel Lyon was a beast and we need his energy today

Spent the weekend in Eureka Springs, got to see Crystal Bridges, and stopped by the Wilson's Creek battlefield. It was a good little escape, except for the part when I got sick and when a storm knocked out the electricity at my hotel
