i'm doing #pouncepunk26 this month!~ for my first prompt i went with healing, and i even wrote a little blogpost about it on my website (norespassing.com/blog.html?sl...)

Announcing the fifth annual Pouncepunk Art Challenge by @gravesart.bsky.social and I on Instagram! Eight art prompts for February, to do in any order you like at roughly two prompts per week if you're feeling it. All creative media welcome! NO AI. #pouncepunk26

Got this year's Pouncepunk prompts worked out today over sushi with @gravesart.bsky.social. It's our fifth year hosting this art challenge! Prompt list will go up this Friday, so start getting ready!

“Laughter is God’s Sunshine”

Made a Facebook album of most of the art so you can better see the pieces individually: www.facebook.com/share/p/17hM...

Very few things have resonated as deeply in the bones of my soul as when I hear Nikki Minaj sing “a hundred motherfuckers can’t tell me nothing”

Awkward selfie in an orange and black striped dress from Spirit Halloween.

Picture of my table set up with all my art, prints, zines, etc on it.

A friend gave me some makeup last week and I put it on for the Johnson City Zine Fest today and...have no idea how to smile for a picture in it because I suddenly struggle to recognize myself.

Anyways, Zine Fest is today! One of my favorite shows! Come buy zines!

Hello #portfolioday, I'm Brett and I draw, paint, make zines, and do other stuff. I like Godzilla and dancers and creatures and other fun things!

Goddamn I love pigment in water

This is kinda why @gravesart.bsky.social and I do our Pouncepunk art challenge the way we do: only two prompts a week, and we release the prompt list in advance so participants have plenty of time to actually, you know, work.

I’ve been juggling a lot and working hard lately so got myself a nice treat that I’ve been hyperfixating over

I hope you all read this from me.

I’m pretty sure this Skelton unicorn with rainbow legs and horn is the best thing I’ve made

Yay I’ve been painting some

Picture of a watercolor marker drawing I made of one of the models, with the model herself posing in the background.

Picture of three friends at a table drawing a model posing in the background.

Picture of a masked artist doing a very energetic pastel drawing of one of the models.

Y'all, my heart is full. We had such a a good turnout and I didn't completely bomb at teaching figure drawing! Such a good evening.

Flyer for Embodied Life Drawing, happening tonight at 6:00PM at the Bristol Public Library, free for all ages and skill levels.

A picture of a sketchbook page with two structural drawings of the models seen from behind. Below them is a Godzilla head.

A picture of a bookshelf packed with books on the subject of figure drawing.

The time has come: Embodied Life Drawing is TONIGHT. I've prepped all I can for it. I'm excited to share my favorite art practice with the public!
