This is a pet commission I did over the weekend. It's acrylic on 11x14 inch canvas. I don't do commissions often but I had some time and energy to put into this. #acrylicpainting #petportrait #art #painting

This week I've been teaching my son painting techniques by helping him paint this Dr. Mbenga from Strange New Worlds. It's my son's favorite character! #acrylicpainting #mbenga #startrek #startrekfanart #strangenewworlds

I actually finished your commission before you even requested it! Thanks to the non linear nature of time

A tremendous thank you to @arthurhattonart.bsky.social for painting me this incredible Wesley Crusher โ€” as seen in the #StarTrekProdigy episode I wrote, โ€œThe Devourer of All Things, Pt. 2โ€!

Iโ€™m sure @wilwheaton.net approves.

The hard thing here is that science is so specialized that even the average sincere person has a hard time telling the difference. I have a doctorate in psychology but I struggle to tell the difference between BS and legitimate physics (for instance).

I'm so over the moon that I got to meet Wil Wheaton at the Knoxville Fanboy Expo this year. I did this acrylic painting of his character from ST: Prodigy and he looked so jazzed to sign it. It was NOT easy to reproduce the colors or layers from the show. #startrek #wilwheaton @wilwheaton.net

If dogs made art, imagine all the artistic creations they'd make with odor. Scents that challenge the patriarchy. Two fragrances that, when juxtaposed, violate your scent-related expectations. Aromas that hold deep personal meaning to the artist but still allow the smeller their own interpretation.

I remember when "liminal space" actually referred to the quiet, transitional spaces captured so well in this painting.

Once again the "sexually suggestive" tag has been applied and the reach of this painting has been throttled. As much as I loved the idea of Bluesky, the misapplication of these labels has made it nearly pointless to post my work here.
