I was inspired by our costumed hero, the #theantifafrog, and wanted to share this wonky little gif I made.

PS - for all you #tezos folk I've minted as part of the #tezosforhumanity charity fundraiser. Consider picking one up here: objkt.com/tokens/KT1L1...

To give up making art is to give up hope. It’s to silently admit to ourselves that there’s no future... ...that our days to come are so bleak that we might as well quit now and roll over to help the tank treads roll over us that much easier.

#tezos collectors - if you're not in the top 666 of my collectors (sorted by total ed. held) and want a invite to my next degen-friendly art project (think Willie's Nightmare), drop your #tezos wallet.

Replies will bump folk off the bottom, but if you're on the list, I might bump you.

I'll be doing a free tutorial/demo on painting a monster using color theory basics.

The main point will be learning the basics of color theory, but I'll be digitally painting a monster so folks can understand application of said theory.

May 20 - 10am PT / 5pm UTC

Made this on Twitch tonight.

Any suggestions for what this little slime ghost's name should be?

This Dollypaca custom will be part of a Rinicake custom show at Kouhigh Toys (the Melrose location). The show opens this Saturday from 4-7pm.

I'll be swinging by the later part of the opening- hope to see you then!

Finished this "Queen Cthulhina" painting last night on stream. I'm especially into the slimy tentacles.

Some #WIP shots of a skate deck I'm painting. Just blocking in and starting the shape refinement stage, but excited where it's going.

Don't judge putting plastic down on my dining room table, these things don't fit on my easel.

Nightmare-Sama is the evolved version of Nightmare-Chan.

While the Chan is small and tamable (assuming you can manage your fear), the sheer terror Nightmare-Sama allows him to find you - and then he'll devour your scared soul.
