I need as many people as possible to know that the original “Baby it’s Cold Outside” was sung in the 1949 movie “Neptunes Daughter” between Ricardo “Khan “Montalban and Esther Williams.

It was all I could think about when NPR was talking about The Wrath of Khan this morning.

“It’s a wonderful life” is legitimately an excellent film. And it goes seamlessly from an adorable romantic comedy to a psychological thriller in a snap.

It’s a real treat for us that it is regarded as a Christmas classic. It’s a film that deserves to be watched by every new generation.

I used to offer pet portraits in oil. This was a memorial piece for a precious family. I am so honored when people trust me with something like this. 🥹❤️

Far and away this “What We Do in the Shadows” sticker has been my best seller this year. If I could fill my shop with stuff that hit like this weird lil guy I’d be sitting pretty. 😂

Jemaine Clement as Vladislav from #WWDitS the movie.

A little bit of nostalgic fan art. Back to the future & Alien. Marty and Ripley. Both movies scared the bejesus out of me.

A dream would be to draw this style of art for magazine editorials or some such. Ah, to dream.

Both are available as prints on my website. 🥹

An oil painting of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars.

I filmed this one and put the process on YouTube, and I want to film more but I’m so bad at making videos. Maybe someday.

This Nicolas Cage (Moonstruck) artwork was removed by Etsy and then in a WEIRD turn of events Nic Cage's lawyers reversed it and I got an email saying as much.

I emailed NIC CAGE's lawyers back, just b/c I could honestly, and they ANSWERED me and said they were cool with me selling it. Amazing.

I don't have the following to really start a conversation but I'm going to try! #Etsysellers Share your original fanart* Etsy pulled due to copyright. I want to see it!

*Original artwork created by YOU!

My Amos Burton from The Expanse sticker was removed by Amazon.

I'm an oil portrait painter, but I also make silly little stickers. A lot of it is fan art, so it's not on Etsy. Here's my shop & website if you, too, like ridiculous things.

Another oil portrait. 💙 This ones for my kpop obsessed husband. Tzuyu from Twice. This was the first portrait where I tried to get some unrealistic colors in the skin tone. I think it worked but I’m exited to push it further next time.

Yesterday I drew a portrait in colored pencil. It was the first drawing success I’ve had in months. (Please buy a carbon monoxide detector if you don’t have one, check the batteries if you do.) I can’t even describe the feeling.

Now that the Summer of the Flood and the subsequent Autumn of the Carbon Monoxide Leak are over I’m finally feeling up to getting back into painting.

This is an old one though. Diego Luna as Cassian Andor. I loved the lighting in this scene.

Another of the many reasons ai images aren’t art is there is no artist. Have you swatched paints to find the perfect shade of green for that iris? Studied perspective to get the buildings correct in that animation? Drawn a thousand lips to get the right expressions? There is no art without process.

The rampant AI-ing of IG pushed me over here. I never used the other platform (always hated microblogging) but I want to share my work in a safer space.

I'm an oil painter and lettering artist.

Slowly adding my artwork to Bluesky. Here's an oil painting of Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien. I love the lighting in this cracked out scene so much. #artshare #portrait

Climbing out of a months long art block. Yesterday I followed Julie Beck’s oil paint swatching guide and began swatching my oils for the first time. It’s amazing seeing the difference different whites make. #art #oilpainting

These are mostly Gamblin brand with some Old Holland and Michael Harding.
