Now that I've graduated and am looking for work, I'm a bit tight on money, sooo I decided to try something I've wanted to do since I was a kid:
I'M DOING ART COMMISSIONS! 🥳 And because it's traditional art, I will mail the finished painting to the commissioner!! 💌📬 Are you interested? Check my bio!

I picked a tawny owl bc I’m trying to get more acquainted with the birds where I live :) And I think they look a bit creepy with their black eyes!

I tried a bit of dry brushing with the gouache this time, and I like the effect :)

If someone else wants to do an art trade, DM me! #wip

My finished painting for my art trade with @paulmediterraneum.bsky.social ! Our prompt was animals and a spooky mood.

I did a tawny #owl (kattuggla) and based it off a beautiful stock photo by Stanislav Duben.

I tend to make very safe color choices, so I want to keep testing surprising colors. I think the green makes him look like a cute lil alien :)

Also, this is one of my first times using gouache. I’m not sure I did it right, but I think I like the texture?

Yay, I finished another colorful cat painting!

The background is a super neon orange gouache I mixed bc it’s my friend’s favorite color. It kinda hurt my eyes to work with it haha 😅 More pics and thoughts in the replies ⤵️

It’s a bit hard to see, but I think the cat’s face is cute 🥰 he’s a bit of a fat cat

Working on another cat painting for a different friend! Still challenging myself with color: today a grey cat turns green! And an even crazier choice you’ll see when I’m done :)

I made this collage of a crab for a class and I remember it taking soooo long!! I think the flowers betray that it was made ~2016 😝 I still think it looks pretty cool though!

Ok I’m gonna post a bit of my old art in this thread! 🧵

These first ones were inspired by Peter Draws on youtube. Maybe I should try this vibe again! I’m digging it.

btw I’m looking for #artmutuals #artmoots ! 😄

I finished drawing/painting my friend’s cat! What do you think?? Also, is there a word that combines drawing and painting???
October 23, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Working on a watercolor painting of a friend’s cat :) I’m trying to push myself with color, so I’m making him blue (rather than black), and I think the background will be a yellow/green situation 😲🤞🏻

While googling for this picture I discovered two things: just googling “belly pat” brings up a lotttt of furry fetish content….but! googling “belly pat dog picture” brings endless pictures that made me feel happier 🥹

Doodles from a thesis workshop yesterday. I really liked my little mohawk guy from a few days ago so I drew them again :) I felt bad that I drew them unhappy tho, so I drew them having a nice time as well hahaha

Spotlighting these doodles bc I really like them. I mean, just look at them.

More lecture doodles :) Today was about the use of [redacted] in research in our field. The doodle of the little guy with the big phone was inspired by the discussion.
November 27, 2024 at 5:15 PM
Lecture I was looking forward to went wildly off the rails today as doctoral students couldn’t manage to stay on topic. Doodled a little gardner having a nice time tho.

They make a bunch of funny/weird posters you might see around town or in pubs. This is one of my favorites-
