art, comics, opinions
I’m freeeeeeee… from this one, at least. The rest of the zodiac (so far) is here.
11×17 prints will debut at Chibi Chibi Con in a few weeks. I’ll also have them at Push/Pull, where you can get them in-person or online. Other size prints and merch are available via Redbubble.
Hares are hard for me to draw because left to my own devices and without reference, they end up like this.
Daffodils are also annoying… literally I’d rather draw an obnoxious chrysanthemum.
Halftoned version of the previous and a mockup of the 3d effect. Didn’t end up using the tones at all, but I still like know they turned out. I also didn’t actually intend to add grey ink to the originals, but I did it on impulse right before I framed them, so I don’t even have scans of the real grey, lol.
Stuff I did for the Moving in Stereo(scopic) show at Push/Pull.
I scanned the originals before I added the grey ink. Maxx did the 3-color fiddling and printed them on the riso. The prints turned out nice and 3d effect through the glasses is pretty cool.
Lil ink drawing I did a few months ago for a small show at Vera. This piece is sold.
Conference call doodles. The reverse side of this page was all notes, I swear.
I’ve made peace with the fact that I’m absolutely not finishing this by New Year’s, but at least there is finally ink on a page. I’ve been fighting the composition for this one for like three years, lol.
Messing around with block printing in the form of stamp making. This is with a cool little kit Essdee makes.
I wish the discs were a bit thicker, but they’re definitely super soft and the blades cut more finely than I’d expect. The annoying thing about using the baren to “hold” the stamp is that you can’t use it as a baren at the same time, which makes burnishing the very center of the stamp harder.
Still don’t remember what any of the tools in PaintBBS do… I know there’s a way to mask lines, but I haven’t figured it out again yet. I think the problem is that I’ve been using PaintBBS instead of Shi-Painter though and am mis-remembering because their interfaces are really similar. 🤔
The rest of this is just me rambling about Gundam…
Trying to use up some of the frames I’ve horded over the years. This little painting is available here.
Commission for basically a Zoom background for a D&D campaign. I think the plan is to add halfbody shots of the party in front of this boat, anime poster style, as the campaign progresses. 🤔
Been stuck inside and painted some itty bitty mushrooms for Push/Pull’s Fruiting Bodies group show, opening tonight. Making work specifically for a frame is pretty fun.
I’m tired of the record-breaking. Play us an old tune, weather.
trapped inside (again);
watercolor the dry earth
while waiting, waiting.
five days until rain,
or the forecast lies (again)
and the smoke stays, stays.
October comes at ya fast.
Stock photos this year by: Lukasz Szmigiel, Sergey Norkov, and Valeriia Miller.
Sigh record-breaking October heat sigh.
So I started learning to play competitive karuta recently (maybe this was inevitable)…
Finally halfway through the zodiac… the original drawing is available here. I’ll have prints with me starting at GeekGirlCon in November, I think. They’ll also be available in-store and online at Push/Pull when I get them in.
In the meantime, it’s on lots of stuff at Redbubble, as usual.
Got some basic linocut supplies to play around with. Gone through a few iterations of refining this block and still want to do some adjustments, but it’s been a good learning experience.
I’ll probably write a proper blog post about this eventually, but in the meantime, random test prints will be included with orders of $25+ online and in person (see me this Sunday at Black Owl Market!) for as long as I have them.
Flippin’ through a sketchbook looking for something else, saw this and couldn’t remember if I posted it after the review, then realised I never actually even started writing the review for this pen. OTL
I’ve been working on a lot of different reviews concurrently and forgot about this one I guess… it’s still kind of low-priority to me compared to the others, but I only assume people are probably more interested in some of the other stuff than this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just a lil guy.
fighty fight fight.
Whoops, more aishas!! Ice cream and watermelon is how I have coped with Seattle’s heatwave this year.
My friend Denali‘s Gazimon character.
Haven’t been able to spend much time on Art Fight this year. Getting fired back for my mass attacks is skewing my attack ratio a bit, but I’m tryin’ to be less neurotic about things that don’t matter haha…
honestly wish I could’ve fit more aishas in this dang car.
Having a really hard time motivating myself for Art Fight this year, but I’m tryin’. ヽ(；▽；)ノ
This sketchblog is a dumping ground for sketches, studies, scribbles, process drawings, WIPs, disjointed ideas, OCs, commissions, trades, etc. It’s basically a catch-all repository for art I want to share.
