With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

A friend reminded me of an idea I was working on earlier this year.
Unsure if it might culminate or finalize when I have more time.

(I’m feeling very #wip lately.)

Looking at the traditional works I’ve done lately and I want to challenge myself to /not/ use green or primarily cool colors.

Another painting in progress. 👀🌳

I finished the piece I was working on earlier this month and I need to take proper documentation of the piece.

I gotta look through my photos and videos and reminisce now too!
So glad I was there with you @magnoliamaw.bsky.social and helping me get to the show ❤️
Reminiscing on the Rilo Kiley show from last month, @mp-illo.bsky.social next to me 💫

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Today! I'll be at Silverwood Park tonight from 6-8PM for the opening reception of 'Light Over Boundary'

Can't make the opening or get overwhelmed by crowds (tbh same) - No sweat! The exhibition is up until 4/30 & we have an artist talk on Sat. 3/22, 10AM-12PM.

See you there! 💙

Cooldown drawing based on @tomidoron.bsky.social’s style.

Things have been busy here but hoping it’ll settle down by next month.

In the midst of moving things, and came across my bin of old sketchbooks. I snapped some pics of things I wanna revisit.

(The latest illustration I posted was a result of this)

Revisited a sketch of a creature from years ago based on a trip to Berlin (primarily the Fernsehturm Berlin)

I remade my Arowana!
Very pleased with the improved, more arowana-shaped sculpt (new left, old right)!

“Frightened by King Boo”

Been posting older art to my tumblr as I’m making my way back to posting work there, and figured I should share this one here too!
