Artists, quote with something silly!

…I have a bad tendency to put excessive amounts of effort into stupid bits :P This is definitely my silliest art by that metric, rivaled only by The Wonkler.

My friend has JusArt brush tip acrylic markers which I’ve tried and thought were really good especially for the price (18 for $10, they got 48 colors for $30 I think)

Hello Sunshine has stuck with me more than any other book I’ve read in the past year (or more) and if book 2 got to happen I would pre-order it ASAP and probably cry over it.

What better way
is there to
understand a culture
than to witness
how they treat
their dead?

[Images of a bunch of shoes laid about]
[shot of a man putting on shoes to leave]

"We're going to pay our respects to your great-grandparents."

CRANEBONES: Can I come, too?

"You? You don't have to."
"This is a duty for the men."

[A shot of Cranebones saying, "I'd like to go"]

"Fine, come along."

Grandpa died of a cancer they found too late
Dad flew to Korea as soon as we heard Grandpa was dying.
I'm told, in his confusion, Grandpa kept asking for my brother.

He loved that boy and dearly missed him.

I'm told my uncles asked when my sister would introduce them to her husband.

[a shot of a newly wed couple]

"How many years has it been since the wedding?"
"They need to come visit!"

VICTORY! You have successfully resume human form! Time to start your day!

Person looks still a little tired but rejuvenate, holds up a victory sign...

Before looking at the clock, which unfortunately informs us that it is 9pm and perhaps can no longer be considered the start of the day.

AH.

A paper mache gremlin sculpture / art doll with huge ears and duck-like webbed feet. He wears a tattered brown and turquoise robe (possibly a fishing net?) with a golden lace collar, and is holding a fishing rod with which he has caught a crescent moon. He is standing next to two white jar candles and some decorative dried oats against a white mulberry paper background.

Alright, back to the workshop it is! Almost done with this little guy, who just caught the moon and will possibly fry it on a pan with a bit of lemon and garlic?

Paper mache, wood, mulberry bark, flax fibres, glass eyes. Painted with acrylics.

A black and white acrylic painting with golden digital lighting featuring a woman sitting on the floor of her childhood bedroom, touching a glowing spell circle on the floor, which spirals up into a translucent golden illusion of a young girl and boy playing with toys.

Mixed media piece (acrylic + digital) about nostalgia from 2022. I should really do more non-digital drawings, they're fun.

A roughly drawn comic page. A goblin peers into an open lizard/dragon's mouth, then looks up and says "Lizard is about six years old." An elf corrects to say "Actually, she's about eight months." Goblin squints at elf skeptically, "You know nothing about lizards." Final panel is elf looking extremely disgruntled, text saying "I know EVERYTHING about lizards."

Rough drawing. Foreground is an elf seen from behind, with a sweat-droplet as he reacts to the tableau before him: That is, two violently alive trees on fire attacking a gnome across the room, as she cheerily waves at him.

I missed the last two days because I finished the semester (yay!!!) and immediately collapsed into a puddle. Here's a classic flour bag animation assignment from a month or so ago! I think it could've used more anticipation on the jumps but I really like it :]
