Having a hard time thinking straight today - scattered. Was inspired by Stephan Gesell's amazing photography. Early stage wip

Little doodle from this morning. Today is an organizational day, so not a lot of room for creation. It's more about making sure creation can come more readily.

I am haunted, by life, by loss, by trauma, by the other ghosts that reside within me.

This was before seeing The Long Walk yesterday. There is no after photo, because me and ugly crying don't make for great pictures.
King by way of LeGuin. That kind of story has always been where King excelled. No ghosts or jump scares. Just heartache and pain that rings true.

Hornet had to be next. Though I've worked with a tablet before in limited capacity, I feel like these last two digital illustrations have genuinely been my first completed pieces. No AI. Just me, Photoshop, and a tablet.

Traditionally a watercolor artist, and never really one to "take" to digital art, but it is currently the only medium I can indulge in since it requires minimal arm motions while I'm still a series of tubes and wires and bindings.

24 hours later - pain is pretty manageable, though activities are really limited to laying down with short walks.
Here's me, doing my best cyborg impression.

FTM top surgery this Friday - I can't believe that this day is so close! My brain is already there - keeping a tether to the "present" is going to be a struggle this week, but in a good way.
Here's a unicorn that just wants to touch your brain whispies...

I've been quiet - times are tough, but I've made space to keep creating in between things I can't yet share. Here is "Triptych" - a surreal take on bluejays. #watercolor #bluejays #birdart #birdpainting #madebyahuman

Seems like the perfect time to announce that I'm now in the queue for top surgery. Excited does not begin to cover how I feel.
Here's a mixed media piece I created for Stockton Pride titled "Lazarus". It holds so much personal meaning for me.

Did a little morning warmup before diving back into a much larger piece. This little mood study is 3"x3" on 4"4" paper. Still in love with granulation.

Most times, when beginning a painting, I know exactly where I'm headed. Other times, I need to swatch the hell out of it to find the thread. #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #analysisparalysis

Still love exploring line drawings, and I feel like it is helping me grow as an artist/illustrator. This little fellow found a home already, but keep your eyes peeled for more in the future.

Ink Illustratration I completed a while back. It was tedious, but I love the end result. I need to get back to inking more frequently. This guy is still looking for a home if you're interested.
