Art therapy with a bit of sarcasm. Starting with a couple posts a day, should take a few months to get my whole portfolio on here😅…(5/23/2025) ADHD made sure that didn’t happen…
Well this was frustrating as shit but overall fun and super proud of it. #procreateart #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #judgedredd #comic #fuckai

So I’ve been really busy…color inspired an insane amount of redrawing. Now the details will be more fun. With upgrades, I had to up the sizing so I have to do each of them in their own projects to conserve the layers that they need. To smooshed later #art #digitalart #digitalillustration

Yes sometimes I will trace when trying an experiment. The skull wasn’t the ultimate point. I wanted to see how much extreme erasing I was willing to do to get the cross hatching to make sense #art #digitalart #crosshatching #skull

It was weird at the time that I tied it and it’s even weirder analyzing it on a fiber level. I did get a little lazy with the counting when I tied it and modified that in the drawing but this thing really accidentally was kinda perfect 😅 #art #artist #digitalart #flytying #flyfishing #procreateart

I try not to do these without finding who did the original but I couldn’t resist. The only reference I could find was a comment saying that this beauty was tied by Bud Guidry. I want to update this if anyone can confirm #art #artist #digitalart #flytying #flyfishing #procreateart

Loosely based on one of the first elaborate ones I tied. The piece is what I would have liked to tie if I had the materials at the time😅 #art #artist #digitalart #flytying #flyfishing #procreateart

Only when I got to the coloring, did I realize that this was based on a flag. Hahaha this thing is almost exactly the proportions I love and with the colors, I had to do it😁 Drawing the flies is similar to tying and very relaxing, going one material at a time #flytying #flyfishing #art #digitalart

Just realized I already posted this a few months ago but screw it this is one of my favorites that I’ve done. And again…this is medically accurate. #rfkjr #politics #maha #mahamyass #art #illustration

The one picture that got me into fly tying. Not sure why I haven’t done this one before. Haven’t tied in a while but my arm keeps it alive😂 #classicsalmonfly #flyfishing #flytyingjunkie #flytying #art #digitalart #procreateart

About 20 years apart. Turning 40 in a couple months and I’m pretty sure I’ve reached peak me that I envisioned in high school. You know, minus the unemployed part. #art #digitalart #illustration #selfportrait #evolution #artist #goals #bodymodification #sundamage #growing

Replace the extreme religious cult & cops in the movie with our current cult & cops/military, combine them, and a current Predator 2 would be pretty accurate. Danny Glover would be too old not to recognize what’s going on #art #digitalart #illustration #fuckice #fucktrump #fuckmaga #thisisamerica

New sticker! Another game I’m obsessed with…if I cant stop being enraged with the world and I need an art project at all times, I’ll take it out on people who deserve it. #MAHA #rfkjr #digitalart #illustration #digitalillustration #art

I never played the previous God of War games and my computer isn’t capable of handling Ragnarok but GoW2018 had a huge effect on me. This isn’t exactly canon but I still think it’s pretty cool. And it took quite a while to finish😅
