I've been seeing this color wheel art share on my feed recently... so I wanted to share this collage of all 31 days of my May-Sketch-A-Day speedpaintings from 2022 #art

(I definitely need to get back into creating more of these; but life's been rough in the last few years...)

I've also written up a small behind-the-scenes blog post detailing my journey! I will probably be adding more to this post in the coming weeks, but for the time being, you can read it all here:

Looks like I haven't shared this here, but a tabletop/board game that I worked on for over 7 years has finally been released!
I'm so excited to share this news with you (and some of the art that I've created too!)
