A blue painting of a teen sitting in a chair in an arcade with game machines behind, lit by blue light and the neon decorations and signs of the games, wearing a striped tshirt and jeans, with light skin and straight brown hair past their shoulders.

Another oil pastel study, seeing how far I can take a monochromatic feel with my palette of pastel sticks at the time. Painted on rag paper, my favourite for oil pastels these days by far.

A paved pathway stretches away between golden rows of aspens glowing in the late day sun and casting shadows across the path.

Added another page to the comic about my dad. No script or anything. Just one panel at a time

a knight sits on the back of a caparisoned horse (the horse's head has been replaced with a shrine with some sort of creature in it.)

I love knights.

Canadians: has anyone tried out that new Canada Post system for pre-paying tariffs on shipments to the US? Did it work okay?

(I am guessing we are all wary of it and are waiting to see how it works for others first, lol)

Black and white drawing of Batman standing on a gargoyle spout. A big round boy with a moustache is far off in the background.

Old Bats for Old Bats Day.

#batmanday

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

An oil pastel painting of a woman in brass-trimmed silver plate armour holding a two handed greatsword aloft, with trees in the background.

a close-up of a spider sitting on the painting while in progress.

an even closer close-up of a spider sitting on the painting while in progress.

a photo of the painting at a very early stage, very sketchy.

One of my larger studies from learning oil pastels last year, featuring a badass in full armor holding a greatsword, and also! a tiny arachnid visitor that stopped by while I was in the early stages of this piece.
