I hope that you enjoy my current art series: Dogs x Norse Gods and Cats x Greek Gods.

I don't know how it's possible to have both so many ideas and also no idea on what to draw.

If you know me, you know I can be chatty. Despite that, I never think I have anything interesting to say on social media.
Today, I literally put out a fire with a fire extinguisher in a building full of people, and I'm like, "Nah, no one wants to hear about that." 🙃

I got a progress video scheduled for tomorrow on TikTok. While editing it, I realized that I don't really love most of the final colored versions.
INSTANT stress. I've been racing to fix the final illustrations for Instagram.
Then I realized. No one cares. Why do I do this to myself?? 😂

Artists, I need book recommendations.
I'll go first: Manga Matrix by Hiroyoshi Tsukamoto. (It's actually a creatute concept book).
I've bought it three times. It's phenomenal at re-thinking your approach to concept, getting you out of a rut, and designing unique creatutes.

A former ESL/ELL student messaged me recently. She is going to move abroad and follow her dreams.
It difficult for anyone, but it is especially difficult for a woman with a strong career in Japan to drop everything and try. She was the first student I made a strong connection with.

I made a Tiktok of the red version of this magical little fox. What do you think? Does it still fit the "primordial soup" style?
It my first non-mythos illustration. I'm thinking of loosening up and just drawing whatever instead of being so focused on symbolism. Research is bogging me down.

Can we talk about the *righteous anger* when we bite into what should be a delectable vanilla cream-filled donut, and instead we are met with non-deflating, styrofoam-flavored whip cream?
I get that we cover the deception of raisin cookies a lot, but I don't think we give this issue enough time.

I think I am officially an adult. It takes me 40 minutes to prepare for bed.
Ok. I got my compression leggings and gloves on. Did I do my 7 steps of skincare? Oh, shoot, I forgot my gummy vitamins so I got to go re-brush my teeth. A little hair oil, alright. Oh, got to take my probiotics!

It's Halloween month, so that means it's time for spooky moths!
I finally finished this revision. All the color variations are on my Instagram. I'll post them all here eventually.

I really need time saving techniques for drawing. It takes me a minimum of 6 hours to complete an illustration. I'm averaging at 15+ hours.
I hate squeezing in a few hours here and there through the week to get it done. Everything feels like it takes so long.

Making a repeating pattern in Photoshop would have been easier if I hadn't kept inputting the wrong offset size and deleting necessary layers.

we all know “character layout” as a job was destroyed by amptp but did you know “storyboard artist”
has been too?
the job we now call story is actually “production board”, a type of board that often erases the planning stage entirely
and creates “key frames” for the animation studio to *trace*

I've always wanted to try some martial arts type thing.

I've been under the weather, so posts stopped across the board.
I did manage to get this rough sketch out for a repeating pattern. I am hoping to make it into a square scarf one day.
