This newest art piece is made from the paint chips of all my latest paintings including my #pride paintings.. To me this is a piece that shows that no matter how chipped or cracked is #queer folks may feel, when we come together it makes something beautiful! #transgender #LGBTQ #lgbt
Photo of an art piece. There are multicolored paint chips on a white backdrop. There are various colors and swirls. There is a water mark that reads "Mel's Chipped Tooth Art"

Full disclosure, this is me trying to teach myself a new medium.... I added modeling paste to my paint to create more physical dimension with my paining.. Attempt at making a flower.. Not my best work, but it is fun to experiment and learn!
Photo of a small paining. The center is a yellow flower with an orange center with light grean leaves around it and othe flowers on the edges. It is sitting on a black easel with a multicored shed behind it. The painting has some three dimensionionality to it with the pettals coming to a point off of the canvas. The leaves around the flower also have some mild 3 dimensionality to them although are a bit flat and lacking some shape.

For the record, my line of printful products are an extension of my comics.. Chippy is hidden in most of the pride designs and originally was the mascot for my art tik tok before I decided to turn her into a comic character.. This was one of the first pieces of media I put her in..

I call this painting "Abstract Inspirations". It is one of my more fun pieces! It is a painting that I just feel happy when I look at it. The colors alone are fun.. It is a piece that actually inspired me to start using neons more in my art..
Abstract painting. The backdrop is a neon rainbow gradient. There are neon pain splatters on the canvas as well as black geometric patterns and white paint splatters. There is a watermark that has the text "Mel's Chipped Tooth Art"

One of my favorite things to do as an #artist is to take an #artprompt and see not only what I can make of it, but also what others make of it! This #painting, the prompt was dual-duality. It is an older painting, so less refined, but I do love this one! Would love to see others interpret this!
Painting of a forest. The painting is segmented diagonally. On the bottom right corner the forest shows black trees, a white sky, a black sun, and brown ground. The upper left hand corner the trees continue, but are white with neon green leaves, pink flowers, on a stary night with a neon yellow moon.
