Too real

Perrserker is cool, but they don't bring enough sass to the table 😸

I have too many favorite pokemon, but these are definitely my vibe.

Now we're cooking!

Working on a new character for my first Daggerheart campaign!

Hermes is enjoying the new space as well 😺

Wall painted in orange bulky lines with tarp and paint buckets on the floor.

Bookshelf in the corner of the room where a white wall intersects with an orange wall.

New office setup is almost done. Might have been a bit ambitious with the painting, but I'm loving it!

I'm getting my own home office for all of my stuff/hobbies. I'm so pumped!

You should come visit Philly. It's "mostly" a walking city. I drive my car like once a week.

Doing a spring cleaning reorg of the house. We're turning the guest bedroom into my partner's office

This is wild even for Lizzo

Thinking about doing some color field painting. I usually do it for backgrounds but I haven't done it for its own sake before.

Maybe having 15 million concurrent projects is not a bad thing

So ready for fall 🍁😁

Okay, I'm definitely liking this style so far, but I think its missing something. Not sure what though...🤔

3rd attempt at this guy is much better. A bigger canvas really makes a difference!

You've got an awesome collection there. Happy to be included!

Finally got around to launching my own store to sell my art. I'm starting with the stickers I made a while back and got some ideas for new stuff! Check it out!

AI sucks and it makes so much slop. I do think it's gonna push creatives into the analog as a byproduct

Working on a new piece to challenge myself. I've got the first phrase down. Only 150 more lines of music to go! 😅

Wanted to mess around with layering abstraction so I made this today. Definitely the start of something I'm just not sure what... 🤔

Also I promise to make something other than satyrs eventually. It's just my current fixation.

Things that are still confusing:

- making solid lines without streaks
- color mixing neutrals without making everything grey
- best canvas size
- painting details

Things I've learned:

- do a color wash and sketch first
- go from dark to lights
- use black sparingly
- don't blend, color like paint by number

In trying to get better at acrylic painting. It's been a while since I've really put effort into it.

Have I mentioned I'm winning the fantasy league I'm in. I joined on a whim! I literally have never done this before.

I think I see it now. There needs to be more layering. All of the elements feel separated
