A digital painting of a dark red horse outlined with yellow/gold lines. The horse is emitting flame from it's body and eyes. A thin new moon can be seen in the glowing red background.

I am looking forward to joining in with FletchFest once again! And ooo what a theme 👀

If you've been looking for a reason to create something, Fletch's #FletchFest2026 event is a great reason!

I'm looking forward to this year's :D

OMG This is incredible!

THIS ONE THOUGH... this one I enjoyed painting a lot! I'm pleased with how quickly I painted the green stuff. This one was made in #procreate using mostly @jamesbbarrow.bsky.social brushes

A digital artwork depicting a lush jungle scene of twisting trunks and dense leaves. A stone ring walkway is sat atop a supporting structure of thick roots. It appears that a stone pillar may be underneath them. The jungle floor is not in view, suggesting the viewer and walkway is high above it. A raised stone path leads away from the ring walkway, curving towards the viewer's location. Three stone pillars are situated around the ring, and up through the middle of it sprouts a tangle of roots and vegetation with three large spiky petals erupting from it. At the top of the tangle is the form of a figure, entwined with or growing out of the roots. The scene is illuminated from the sun above, creating a dappled light as it cascades through the thick leafy canopy.

WIP of a digital painting that I started today on my Twitch stream. #digitalart #digitalpainting #procreate

Happy new year! I look forward to sharing more in 2026 :D

Image of a 3x3 square grid of artwork. The surrounding 8 squares are a mix of digital and traditional paintings. The centre square is a photo of me holding a small painting.

Happy New Year!
With the beginning of a new year, I find it important to look back on what I created. So here is my #artvartist2025 showcasing some of the highlights of my art from last year. I am proud of what I created and look forward to creating more in 2026.

Merry Christmas! 🎄
