My tiny hand painted version of Van Gogh's 'Cypresses'.

Always wanted to paint one of these, so I finally did three years ago.

I’m still making my way through remaining stock. We’ll see.

Path hand painted after René Magritte's 1964 work 'A Friend of Order'.

Stuff I’ve picked up at the beach over the last two years.

I keep a running list of alter ideas on my phone. Some are clear visions; others vague concepts. ‘Wolverine meme’ was on it for at least a year before I worked out how to pull it off.

T3 in Vintage Cube and it's always open.

The movie still I referenced for this piece was fairly low contrast so I was especially intentional in paying close attention to value while building up the underpainting. The little pinpricks of light become really effective in making the form seem three dimensional and wet.

Omni-Tell and Oops All Spells. I like decks that win at a high rate, so those.

Got bored and played a bunch of Timeless this month. 🤷‍♂️

Tbf Golden Fluid Acrylic, or some other high pigment load fluid acrylic is important.

The water that rinses my brush.

Because I still get asked *a lot* I'll post it again. Everything I use to alter a Magic card.

They typically still have seams but they don’t go over the lip because bottles were finished by hand after removal from the mold.

San Pablo Bay near home. Bay Area mudflats are overflowing with cool stuff.

Today’s beach find: 1890’s Pacific Coast Syrup jar.

Happy to report the Lego Bolt has made it to its new home.

Liliana hand painted after John Singer Sargent's 'Portrait of Madame X'.

Painting the Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro.

Catbus? Catbus.

Which bear is best?

I painted this section of Hieronymus Bosch's 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' in 2022 as a sort of litmus test for my ability to paint tiny details.
