I bought colored pencils today and I had to take them for a test run. It was surprisingly relaxing, drawing with physical tools. It's frustrating not being able to just ctrl+z problems away but I learned to go with the flow and accept the small mistakes๐Ÿ˜Œ

A watercolor painting of a Shiba Inu with glasses and a black apron making takoyaki, a popular Japanese street food. He has a look of concentration and perhaps a bit of hungry impatience as he eagerly cooks. With a banner behind him and lanterns around, it gives the vibe of a food stall at a festival. Around the painting are the artistโ€™s tools: a watercolor palette, mixing dish, and color pencils.

No festival outing is complete without some scrumptious street food! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฎ

I made 5 signed-and-numbered editions of this print and each one is embellished by hand so theyโ€™re all slightly different! The first will be part of the art show, the remaining four are in my website!

The artist adds gold embellishments by hand to a print of a red horse, done in a style inspired by ink paintings from Japan. The horse charges forward with strong energy while the gold embellishments flow by like wind stoking flames.

The completed embellished print, in a thrifted gilded frame to match the gold embellishments.

A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

An XL pitbull named Boba Fett naps flat on his back outdoors on a deck, catching sunbeams on his belly. His jowls fall in such a way that he looks like he is grinning - one of his canines is missing (a result of the terrible conditions he was kept in in his previous life before rescue), but itโ€™s one of his charming features.

Boba Fett the XL pittie naps in the sun on a deck. His enormous head is precariously perched at the edge of a step, causing his jowls to hang over.

Regular occurrence for our home, tho researchers would observe a strange phenomenon that they could only describe as โ€œโ€ฆare you even comfortable like that?โ€

Boba Fett ascended over the rainbow a few years ago, this thread was such a treat and gave me a nice excuse to go through all my photos of him๐Ÿ’œ

It always makes me happy when people see prints of this one and recognize what film itโ€™s from, or which artist influence itโ€™s inspired by!

Work-in-progress shot of the takoyaki-making Shiba Inu in watercolor. The background and some of the details of the foreground are painted, but the main character and takoyaki pan will be in the next phase.

I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re inherently gross, though I do think better education and normalization of foot hygiene/care needs to happen (getting a pedicure is a genderless activity!). But also, feet are neat! They are so complex and provide a lot of feedback to our bodies about our world!

This was also the first time in a long time that I brought original watercolor paintings to an event. While none found new homes today, people looked at them with such care and sweetness, it reignited in me the belief that people still appreciate art in its human-made forms.

A hand drawn and laminated sign of a foxy femme (dressed in a blue singlet and thigh high socks) using her thigh to crush a personification of AI while she playfully sticks out her tongue and throws a peace sign up. If you get a closeup look at this sign youโ€™d see all the pencil marks from where I drew my base figures first, Iโ€™ve secretly always loved that somewhat rough and unfinished stage of my art!

Watercolor painting of two tanuki. One stands on the bed of a kei truck, holding a crate of ramune soda bottles. In the truck bed there is also a box of peaches, a crate of oranges, and a green cooler. This tanuki wears yellow boots, a green jumpsuit, gloves, and a cap; clearly a delivery driver! The other tanuki stands on the ground with an apron and clipboard, taking inventory of whatโ€™s being dropped off, possibly a restaurant or cafe owner. The scenery is a sunny seaside town. โ€œTanu-Kei Delivery Servicesโ€ by Addi Miyako
