An exercise in color, compliments, and cersonality. #art #illustration #color
A watercolor painting that shows overlapping circles of complimentary color. Overlayed on that are some googly eyes and boots. So it kind of looks like worm

The internet is breaking my heart today. But we must move forward. #art #illustration #vampire
An illustration of a young girl with fake vampire teeth taking a selfie with a proud look in her face. Below is the quote from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, “I am all in a sea of wonders. I doubt; I fear; I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul.”

🍅🥫❤️ Tomato #art #illustration #oilpastel
Drawing done in oil pastel. It depicts what looks like a young boy’s head with a tomato body. He is looking to the side, with a pensive look. He has blonde short hair and glowing red cheeks. Across the top and right side the artist has written, in a very stylized hand-drawn text “Tomato” in a warm blue tone. The O’s are small tomatoes.

First, some warmups, then a little more umph! 😍🪽 #art #illustration #watercolor
Photo of a sketchbook with practice sketches on the left and final piece on the right. The prominent colors are red and blue, used to simply color sketches of an angel with blue hair. Below the final sketch I’ve written “Dylan’s lips xoxo” as an homage to Severence A drawing of the bust of a cherub-like girl with blue hair and wings. She’s looking up and to her left with pursed lips and a heart-shaped beauty mark. She has two green bows tied in her hair and small angel wings wrapped around her folded, but relaxed arms.

From my 10-minute morning ritual of sketching. Face shapes. #art #sketchbook #arthabit
A photo of an open sketchbook with a loose self-portrait in the left done in watercolor with a limited palette of blue and red. On the right is a poem about face shapes. It reads “My face has shapes. It’s just shapes formed by flesh, bone, muscle, and time. Time spent laughing, crying, sleeping, eating, sunning, shadowing, absorbing, pulling, rubbing, growing, expanding, living, and dying. It’s an expression of the lives lived before me, plants, animals, the expansive universe and sub-atomic unknown.”

There are so many more days now than not in my 15 year career in which I want to abandon tech. AI is in my face constantly, there is not enough time for me to be thoughtful about it's implications before the next piece of information hits me. The anxiety is almost unmanageable.

I just finished Chapter 6 of Unruly-ish on selinasilvas.substack.com 🍄. Unruly-ish is a monthly comic that tells the story of a modern vampire as they stumble through everyday absurdities, existential dread, technology made for the living, and still getting a good caffeine hit. #comics #indiecomics

If throwing Trump a bone in saving TikTok distracts him from his shitty mass deportation plans I’m all for it.
