A while ago I started 3D modeling.

This is one of my first sculpts, probably not the easiest pose to start with, but it was very fun 🐱

I was going to throw away some old prints of my work that I don’t like anymore, but instead I used them to make quick mini collage stamps.

It’s a fun exercise to get out of a block, you just randomly cut shapes and try to make different compositions. What do you think? :^)

I will always WOW when I see any of the works of woodblock artist Shirō Kasamatsu, especially rainy artworks like this one from 1938 called Pine Tree in the Rain

Have you ever seen a Llama in Times Square?
Well, Inge Morath did in 1957!! :^)

I've always loved this this poster by Aloïs Carigiet that looks like a map. The tiny cows and goats😍

I’ve been trying to experiment a bit lately… Just the fact of drawing without an idea of what will come out has been quite refreshing! Today it’s a bunch of fish :)

Done with textured brushes from VIU Bunch o’Brushes, screentones from TrueGrit and mostly the lasso tool which is always a lot of fun!

Thinking about this super cute potato chip by Armando Testa from Pai Patatine Fritte ad (1959-1960)
