My "Snug" (snail-pug) oil painting. I'm very attached to this one. Do you have paintings and drawings that you want to keep for yourself?

While cleaning out my hard drive I found some of my old "potat characters" I did on my IPad on Procreate. And yes... Life is like a box of chocolates 😆

Currently reading Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee. I loved Pachinko and want to read more of this author. I’m loving it so far.

Throwback to some of my 2022 oil paintings. Even though I know I have "technically" improved, I still like my earlier works and I'm super grateful for all the people that commissioned me in my earlier days. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now. Thank you 🥰

I'm trying to use up some of my cheapie Brutfuner pencils in my sketchbook practice. I like to do a before and after sketch for the pencil on the side to see how much I used. New year resolution for 2026: Use up more art supplies than I buy.

I'm always going back to basics to improve further. This is a pomegranate in graphite on Strathmore 400 Drawing paper (I kinda like the smooth surface).

Just got a rejection letter for my piece “Vicarious Chains” that I painted for an art show. I wanted to show it anyway and encourage all artists out there to keep going no matter what 😊
