a block print in dark purple. on the top, it says “we have the power” and on the bottom is says “we plant the seeds”. the scene shows (from left to right) mountains and crop fields with people hand in hand, 3 single people in the middle reaching for each other and wind turbines, a road stretching out from a city with people holding hands and a linked chain, and in the bottom right corner a bridge with construction barrels and people hand in hand

she-wolf, mother of Rome, with Romulus and Remus. one of my absolute favorite print designs - hand-carved linocut. modeled after the famous statue. this one’s a misprint (faded spot at the bottom) available on my etsy river sanchez-dudik art #art
linocut print of the roman she-wolf with romulus and remus in dark orange. roman columns are in the background with an arch engraved with “rome”. behind the wolf and brothers is a tile walkway with a tree on one side. closeup of print, top left closeup of print, on wolf center right

haven’t had an excuse to post my art on bsky yet. here’s some pieces up in my studio from 2021-2024. i don’t lie when i say im a multidisciplinary artist lol (oil/yarn tufted/lil pastel/watercolor and gouche) and yet i pursue STEM
oil painting of a two women scissoring in an abstract forest with illinois native plants around them. small rug of a fish 4 oil pastel drawings, muted in color and only featuring black, white, gray, yellow, and browns. the top picture is of a sea lion resting among vegetation. the next is a flightless cormorant sunning its wings in front of rocks. the next is a galapagos penguin with multicolored rocks behind him. the last is a lava gull with a bright red eye. watercolor/gouche scene based on a photo of 2 polar bears in an abandoned house. behind the house is another abandoned building and a large pipe. the steps up to the house are dirty and a bear is standing there, just outside the door. the other bear is in the window, reaching out through it. the house is yellow with a blue/brown roof.

got locked on twitter for wishing someone death which obviously i shouldn’t have done BUT this is what he said. i think it was deserved . what a fucking ghoul
screenshot of a tweet by ‘Pennsylvania Joe’ @JoeNonymou17252 from 10:42 am 12:22/24 that says: “Danger for pedestrians = safety for driver and passengers. In the US almost no pedestrians exist unless you’re in the city. Most “pedestrians” are homeless. It’s a shitty reality of our class disparity but it’s very much a part of our social fabric. Having a car is a necessity.”

how it feels to use social media
pixel art of a person sitting on the ground with knees bent. they are orange with a blue circular hole in their head and heart. there are yellow lines extending out of them, but they are enclosed within a dark blue bubble. there is a gradient of blues in jagged levels extending out. there are many zig zags and one spiral in red atop the blue background. there is black text on the bottom that says “no on can hear me. no one can see me” on light purple background timelapse of art from previous slide. first the person, then backgrounds then details.

all 4 panels. just a warmup inspired by the extreme warmth of chicago’s fall, a mixture of climate change + urban heat island + endless emissions. do the birds know their world is changing?
4 panel pixel art comic, as described in previous post.

the world… it’s a-changing. first pixel art cartoon on my new drawing tablet 😌
pixel art cartoon frame 1. an early morning cityscape with 2 buildings. a tree is in the foreground, with an american robin singing. there is a moon and airplane in the cloud-dotted sky in the background. frame 2. closeup of a robin’s head with music notes around it. the moon is behind it. a house sparrow on the sidewalk, surrounded by moss and fallen orange and yellow leaves. he has a text bubble that says “what’s he saying?” a rough map of chicago from an aerial view in the background. there are yellow silhouettes of different birds, including a seagull, sparrow, heron, and swallow. the text bubble says “the world… it’s a-changing” and has music notes attached.

november 18th: snapdragons, lesser calamint, nasturtium. plants that bloom generally in summer … the nasturtium was shaded by taller native plants all summer so it only now is getting good sun i guess? but it is not cold like it should be, everything should be dead.
snapdragon flowers in front of mums and strawberry leaves lesser calamint plant with many spent flowers and a few new ones nasturtium plant with many round leaves and no flowers, dead leaves, grass, and twigs surrounding it

i’ve been so depressed i haven’t been artistic in quite awhile but when i look at the past ~5 years of artistic growth it’s still amazing. my most recent pieces are these which speak to my lack of motivation and creativity, as i always have loved painting over drawing. i just don’t have it in me

woman with brown hair and middle-part bangs poses armpit-up with a frown. her arm is behind her head and you can see part of a bear tattoo. she has a septum piercing and a sad-looking face. there are still some tears in her eyes from crying. in the background there is a green wall, a painting, mirror, and blue curtain. another photo of the same woman with a sad face, and reddish nose and eyebrow skin.
