Just a dandy lil’ guy making art, kicking ass, and trying to hang out with my pals.
Playing with my palette knife. I love how little control I have and how expressive working with a palette knife is.

I want to challenge myself to do a bunch of quick still life paintings to build up my confidence and skill.

I’ve been procrastinating on a few paintings for months now— they feel daunting. I’m just timidly repainting the background and not pulling anything forward.

But then I remember, I’m entirely self taught. I lack so many basics. Of course it’s hard.

I just started Dune Messiah and I was expecting the story to be focused around the Spice. Gurl, it’s nothing but salt. the first chapter reads like a group of salty queer Disney villains plotting against Paul. I’m rooting for them #Dune #scifi

Working on a calavera linocut. I’m loving the creativity this time of year: costumes and decorations. There’s so much to celebrate, especially ancestors and people who have passed.

I love making art about boys I’m thirsting over

Just completed a three week fitness challenge! Super proud of myself. Of course I made a #VisionBoard in my #BulletJournal to accomplish it.

Keeping a daily drawing diary for #inktober. Yesterday I screened The Substance for some friends (and had a dentist apt). Today was a kickboxing class. Stay tuned for tomorrow.

I don’t usually do self-portraits, but I just came across some from last fall. I love how I was experimenting with color.

Drawing practice while work is slow. Exploring how bodies can react in relationship to each other.

I love using my art as a gift. Painted this lil’ guy for my cousin’s kids. Dropping it in the mail tomorrow for a little surprise.

I just got soft pastels. Anyone have any tips for working with them?

I finished my reading list! Took two years, but I couldn’t be more proud. Ask me about any of these books i need to rave about them #scifi #booksky #dune

Quick sketch with leftover paint from my palette, done on scraps of newsprint paper.

My color theory week long intensive wrapped up yesterday, but we didn’t spend enough time talking about values, so I gave myself a value study homework assignment.

Final project for my color theory class! A previous instructor of mine once said, “collage is just painting with paper” and I haven’t stopping thinking about that. Based on Gustav Caillebottte’s Man Drying His Leg.

Figure painting for my color theory class. King of Wands was my tarot card for the week, so it inspired my subject choice

Art classes are challenging because of working under such a strict time constraint. With more time, I could have given this so much more depth and detail, but a good quick sketch with paint.

I started training #jiujitsu around the same time I started teaching myself to draw. The majority of my energy goes towards #art, not training #BJJ, so I’m not progressing as much as I could. But #drawing techniques helps a ton with recall. It’s a journey!

My bullet journals / art journals are my magni opi. It’s what pulled me more seriously into art. It’s my favorite medium. But because my journal is so personal, I don’t share much of it here. Here’s a little collage, as a treat.

I went to a naked queer drawing event last night. Amazing experience. No one stayed still long enough to get a detailed sketch :-P
