Artist contributions to DSC. It feels ambitious at times, but I continue to polish it. Every. Day. Getting closer to the "collective" aspect of what it was originally intended for. Thank you 🖤:

My Drop In submissions for the last couple years. Thank you for the opportunity @oacmn.bsky.social! While there are some technical aspects of my design and illustration skills that I would like to continue to improve on, "style" has been something I overthink too much, but I think I'm gettin' there

Had a blast at the Paleo Art Show, the brain child of @opaquepastels.bsky.social! You can still visit and purchase art during @oacmn.bsky.social ALTR gallery hours: August 21st-August 22nd 6pm-9pm. Definitely recommend checking this show out! It is one for the books 🦖 Thank you for having me!

Really jazzed to be distributing another design by @pseudo-ersatz.bsky.social! Caw-Claw will be debuting this weekend at @jackalopeartfair.bsky.social. Between 7th and 8th off Nicollet. #dapperskullcreations #altbrand #altclothing #shirtdesign #jackalopeartfair

@ericcastellanos.bsky.social SICK mammoth headed to The Paleo Art Show!

Art drop off is this Saturday for all artists involved!

We are stoked to have Art Jam at ALTR Gallery tonight! @ericcastellanos.bsky.social @xiaoxiastudio.bsky.social

Attendees are encouraged to check out @abyforshort.bsky.social solos show just down the hall at Norseman Distillery!

Imperatrix Zeva, the King’s Knife. The sole female knight of the annointed legions, she was made the personal bodyguard to His Holiness King Wargrun IV after single-handedly slaying 36 Hermetic mercenaries during the battle of Golgot armed with only a small flail & a broadsword.

This old piece … what’s good about it still holds up, and what’s bad about it can be changed. @ericcastellanos.bsky.social will be fixing the colors and possibly making t-shirts very soon :)

With the help of Rogue Citizen and Modist Brewing Company, we extended the deadline to apply for the DROP IN skate deck art show. Artists who have a pasion for skating, street art and general tomfoolery still have an open window to join! Follow the link at oacmn.com

Made some progress during art jam tonight. Things in general tend to make more sense once I start to ink. Perspective, change, balancing all the chaos. This piece will be a reflection of all that. Looking forward to the Colony Collapse Disorder show at @oacmn.bsky.social ALTR gallery #penandink

"Reckoning"

I've had some breathing room to reflect on my inks and will be re-releasing previous works how I originally intended the finished looks to be, pre-color. Hope ya dig 'em ✒️ Thanks for lookin'! #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #penart #inkart #inkdrawing #skullart #pigmamicrons

Thank you to all of our artists! The Last Unicorn Art Show was a BLAST!

New logo. I wanted to go with something simple, kinda neutral, while still conveying the DSC vibe. Shout out to @thatsgoodness.bsky.social for feedback during the process! #dapperskullcreations #logo #altbrand #penandinkart #logodesign

Honored to have been accepted into the last Unicorn Art Show. Big thanks to @oacmn.bsky.social for having me on board! Congrats on 10 years of magic 🦄 #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #penandinkdrawing #pigmamicrons

Thanks for lookin'! #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #penart #inkart #pigmamicrons #octopusart #yinyang

I was able to wrap these inks up during last night's Art Jam. Going to be scanning them in today to prep for color #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #penart #inkart #inkdrawing #pigmamicrons #octopus #tentacles

Update I am almost done with jacket #3! ✌🏼👏🏼 Come to Art-a-Whirl (May 16-18th). @ericcastellanos.bsky.social and I will be sharing a booth at the Juniper Lou market in the Earl Giles Parking lot! Come on by!

Art-A-Whirl prep continues, and the print quality of these skate decks was a morale booster amid the behind the scenes hustle and bustle. #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #penandinkartist #skateboardart

Texture study from last night's Art Jam MPLS #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #penart #inkart #pigmamicrons #kuretakebrushpens

This tee has been a work in progress for about a year, with the main hold up being the color department. Definitely happy with how the colors turned out though! The Listener is now available online! #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #inkartist #owl #owlart #shirtdesign #shirtart

Drew this fella (Guillermo) after coming out of creative block and imposter syndrome back in 2018. He would eventually turn into the logo and face of my art and apparel company Dapper Skull Creations. Haven't stopped since. #dapperskullcreations #penandinkart #inkdrawing #skullart #pigmamicrons

Really looking forward to tabling with @claybrookart.bsky.social at Art-A-Whirl this year! We're prepping and getting new merch ready to go, including tees by @pseudo-ersatz.bsky.social. #dapperskullcreations #altbrand #altclothing #darkart #clothingbrand #shirtdesign #penandinkartist

I drew a horse skull during last night's Art Jam MPLS in preparation for my piece.

Thank you! Hehe, yeah I can see the amoeba element now

This was a long wip, spent the last couple days wrapping up colors.
