As van Gogh famously said,

You are out on a Saturday night

I am in my bed catching Pokemon and watching the #CFL western semifinals

We are not the same

I love fall SO much... As nice as it would be to live somewhere with the same temps all year round, how can I pass up the best season of the year

It's such a dopamine boost to look at all the trees that have changed colour, especially at golden hour

It's like anti-SAD straight into my veins

my beloved traumatized manipulative lying banana-bread baking irish vigilante who can parkour fences at the age of 39 without knee pain, whose undefined jawline and propensity for hat wearing has terrorized me as a fan artist for 10+ years... I miss you...

I think that's another reason this quote about Van Gogh resonates with me so much and I think about it often. Art isn't so much about the skill in execution, but the heart and intention.
When Van Gogh was a young man in his early twenties, he was in London studying to be a clergyman. He had no thought of being an artist at all. he sat in his cheap little room writing a letter to his younger brother in Holland, whom he loved very much. He looked out his window at a watery twilight, a thin lampost, a star, and he said in his letter something like this: "it is so beautiful I must show you how it looks." And then on his cheap ruled note paper, he made the most beautiful, tender, little drawing of it. When I read this letter of Van Gogh's it comforted me very much and seemed to throw a clear light light on on the whole road of Art Before, I thought that to produce a work of painting or literature, you scowled and thought long and ponderously and weighed everything solemnly and learned everything that all artists had ever done aforetime, and what their influences and schools were, and you were extremely careful about *design* and *balance* and and getting *interesting planes* into your painting, and avoided, with the most astringent severity, showing the faintest *acedemical* tendency, and were strictly modern. And so on and so on. But the moment I read Van Gogh's letter I knew what art was, and the creative impulse. It is a feeling of love and enthusiasm for something, and in a direct, simple, passionate and true way, you try to show this beauty in things to others, by drawing it. And Van Gogh's little drawing on the cheap note paper was a work of art because he loved the sky and the frail lamppost against it so seriously that he made the drawing with the most exquisite conscientiousness and care.

I think this was back from the d2 art events movie zine when I was thinking of doing the infamous john wick cover as my parody movie cover, and did a draw-over with uldren/crow. I don't remember why I decided to switch over to dr. strange instead. too much work maybe?

okay this one pains me... Astra's chibi trading card 😫
I think I just got burnt out of doing these at the time since they were all painted. I could go back and finish it any time!! It's just I felt like I wanted to modify her face design and I didn't have any ideas

possibly THE MOST annoying of my WIPs in WIP hell... a lesson learned in "please nail the pose before the face" and "f**k armour can't I just put him in a tight shirt and call it a day?!" and "full bodies are hell"

but I love him so I just keep coming back to poke at this every month

bg study from an episode of Mushi-Shi. It's a very chill, wistful anime series with standalone stories in each ep, set in fictional rural japan and follows a kind of shaman type guy who investigates supernatural phenomenon. if you like stuff like the Lore podcast series, I recommend checking it out.

had to filter the heck out of this because I'm too lazy to scan it, and irl the sketch lines are suuuuper light because this is blue graphite from a mechanical pencil but I still love this page!

the concept sketches I did for the fan art piece I submitted to the D2 fashion zine! (went with delicate tomb). I had a lot of fun designing a dress based off of the amazing delicate tomb concept art by jacob gonzalez ! www.artstation.com/artwork/nEVQ...
