Overcooked artist cosplaying as a graphic designer. Musing around. Finding beauty in the mundane and maximalism in the minimal. Life and death but with more cats and flowers. Macabre tints my brain yet I play in photons. barrettbiggers.com
I'm learning #Japanese and love making graphics. Good challenge - learn a new word or 2 every day designing a visual to go with the word. Hope this helps with both my language and #graphicdesign learning as I go. I do NOT use AI and each day I'll try to explore a new style and word! #GraphicDesign

new personal branding ideation and design in progress. Thoughts: Organic forms, Art Nouveau, Ex Libris book prints, gardening, butterfly wings, 1982, luxury elegance, timeless, feminine aesthetics with strong fundamentals, macabre dark fantasy, hanko = Japanese/Asian cultural influences, monogram.

It's an older art, sir but it checks out. My tribute to davidlynch and the tv series Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me. I am a huge Lynch fan I can hear David saying, "You live and you die and that's all you need to know." What an epic person with such a surreal and creative mind.

Ready to paint my cats in a Soviet propaganda poster. I’ll add cosmonaut helmets and shiny aluminum foil

Had fun with creating a new tribute art/design in my vintage advertisement series. It's been many years since I got back into this style and had a lot of fun revisiting it! I collect and collage digital scans from many years of old art pieces mostly etching, engraving and compose with typography.

Koi pond oasis we built over the years. Just installed UV filter but so far no help with algae. Been a real struggle trying to clear the water.

I made a #Legendofzelda #Ocarinaoftime inspired realistic motivational #movieposter set. These took a long time photo manipulation in #Photoshop they were a lot of fun to create! I did not use any AI. This was created before AI.

Some more prints in my #art collection. Back when covid hit I lost a great opportunity I had for years selling my art at Universal Studios Citywalk. Shit happens. Oh well wasn’t my fault. #nature #surrealism #artist #digitalart

When I apologize to my theme park friends for hating going to crowded theme parks.

Why, Mother?! You chose your lover over your own daughter?  嘘つき。。。

When you lose a #pet you lose a part of your soul. We lost our #cat a few years back and as expected a part of us died with him. I have witnessed several dogs and cats die over the years and it's a relief to believe (hope) their spirits are waiting for us. I made an #art to reflect this sentiment.

Printing out some of my #art watercolor #limitededition prints. These both have a nice contrast in colors but still retain that figurative #surreal forms that makes them similar as a set. I blend #nature and #texture photography with digital painting and blending in #photoshop no AI used.

Several years ago I was commissioned to do a court room sketch for Scott the Woz YouTube channel's charitable sale. I had never done one before but loved the process of research and learning how to accurately recreate that soft pastel and pencil look via Photoshop digital painting.

My #dark #fairytales series. No AI was used (sadly yes I have to say this now) I made these before AI existed. These were fun to create. I tried to not #Disney the shit out of them but still give it a hint of mouse. #digitalart #art

Sigma male: Only wants his lover. Doesn’t sweat the circumstances. Shit happens - just roll with it. Wears the same fucking outfit all the time. Be like water. PTSD. Win some lose some. Smuggles things. Doesn’t give a shit what people think. Likes bell peppers and beef. #cowboybebop #spike

Selling prints of my art is like making little paper horcruxes of my soul and selling them to random buyers. It’s nice that my soul is hanging on so many walls around the world. I have the power to leap through my art into your room so might just pop by to say hi. Seriously great couch and flooring.

My name is Barrett, hi. I'm a recovering burned-out elder millennial artist. I'm still trying in the graphic design/digital art world getting surrounded by all this AI shit. It's all blue skies from here they told me...Cheers to my artistic comrades! [sips coffee as he spills some on his keyboard]

I made a
#movieposter
for a film called Beneath the Leaves back in 2017. Alternative poster for their streaming opening. Still enjoyed it and loved the middle version where her hair turned into the dude's fingers. Here is a process JIF (I'm so not allergic to peanuts):

Hi again. It's been 12 mins 32.5 secs since my last post. Exactly the same amount of time it takes to forget where I left my phone, did I check my slack messages or if I feel hungry again. I have 2 cats. They are indoor cats. They dream of leaving the house. Be like other cats. Sigh...safer here.

Hi my name is Barrett Biggers and I'm an artist. I haven't made any art in 45 days. ["Welcome Barrett" chants the group.]
