Stayed up too late adding to this and had to rush the pearls so badly they more resemble water droplets
I've hated every eye I've drawn lately so I wanted to work on that. It's still not what I wanted but I like the outcome. What should I add tonight?

A photograph of a muted, white and grey mixed media piece rendered in a soft and gentle manner, on a piece of grey paper already adorned with a ribbon bow drawn in the same style and colour palette. The piece is of an eye and small part of face, surrounded by water droplets or perhaps pearls. The eye has long white eyelashes and a hint of white eyebrow. There is the suggestion of more space on the paper, based on the cropping of the image

Sorry I vanished for ages, my body is kind of slowly falling apart and every time something new happens I start the grief process all over again. Anywayy here's a #wip as an apology.

Spent a long time yesterday trying to take photos of my tonsils. For art.
You ever try taking photos of your own tonsils with just a phone and a ring light and your mother giggling at you? It's harder than it sounds

Anyway peep this hot uvula action

This is my Shadow Sorcerer Alba, who is somehow still alive and just gearing up to fight a Balor.
How's your D&D campaign going? 😂

Outside
A two panel comic. The top panel depicts an adult June beetle talking to their child, a grub. They are both in a dimly lit living room, with the grub in front of a TV depicting a video game taking place in a lush, green meadow. Adult beetle's dialogue: Ugh kids these days! When I was their age I'd climb trees! And ride my bike... outside! Second panel, captioned "Meanwhile, outside..." Depicting a wide, hazy stroad (street-road). Cars are backed up at a stoplight and tall signs and billboards for vaguely fictional fast food and convenience stores can be seen. It looks like a desolate, unpleasant place.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too.

Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

I hope you are loving and feel loved 🖤

Sometimes I'll draw something and it'll be good, but it won't really feel "mine"? This does though.

A photograph of small mixed media panpastel and coloured pencil drawing in a soft nostalgic pop art style, sitting precariously on some pale blue knitted fabric, leaning against a fence. The drawing is of a red/ orange heart shaped ashtray surrounded by matching heart-shaped candies and some safety pins, with the end of a lipstick covered cigarette sticking out of it, and a single safety pin in it. Everything is in very soft focus with bright, almost shimmery highlights. It has a very pale orange to pink blended background, and the tester piece of paper is still attached, covered in smudges and scribbles that match the drawing.

Spring is almost here, and I can’t wait to start gardening! 🌿 Here’s an illustration of one of my favorite garden helpers. A tiny rancher guiding his isopod herd through the night.

Whenever I get down, I know it’s time to repost my favorite Scooby Doo fan art I’ve ever made
Panel 1: Daphne wears Velma’s glasses and asks, “so? How do I look, Velma?” Panel 2: Velma, sitting on her bed with her laptop and no glasses, responds frankly, “I have no idea.” Daphne mumbles weakly, “babe-“

Sorry I'm. Not very active right now, I'm working on a lot of commissions and when I make personal art lately, it just doesn't seem to work out. Hopefully I'll have something I can share with you all soon!

Sorry for being so quiet here this week! I've been super busy and my health isn't amazing but I promise I've been working on art and will have lots of stuff to post in the coming week.

Until then, who can guess which #sanrio buddy is coming next? #art #wip #artoftheday #sanriocore

The only way to mourn something like this is to throw yourself into art. Creativity is medicine. It heals the brain & the heart. Lynch understood the importance of art more than anybody. It's essential we don't forget this, that we don't lose it. It's the one dependable thing we have in this world.
