I really gotta get my shit together and start making more, because earning only about $200 to $300 a month is slowly crushing me, but motivation to finish more projects is starting to slip from my fingers. A regular job isn't an option at the moment either, so maybe I gotta make more patreon stuff

A semi-abstract painting of a snake-like form with a large head, that has gray flower-like forms instead of eyes. It appears to be floating or being seen from above, and it is gazing directlyy at the viewer intensely.

an abstract casein painting depicting a field of color and texture (patches of medium mint green, reddish brown, tan, and dark rusty brown) plus a sunburst or spark shape in the upper-left portion of the painting, that is light tan and looks like it is partly dripping or dissolving.

A black creature with a single eye and four insectoid wings stands on a hill, haloed by the sun, surrounded by clouds. Below two dogwolfs look up excitedly.

I guess I can't really think about flea markets until this arctic vortex retreats from our cursed realm

I generally enjoy cooler weather, but it's so cold now that I'm wearing a fleece jacket and socks inside the house!

omg, I forgot to wash my brush yesterday! I think I saved it though with some brush cleaner, plus the fact that casein paint takes longer to fully cure

I still only use one brush per day, so that when I'm done I only have one brush to clean, and I still forgot xD

apparently books at flea markets are usually really cheap because vendors get tired of hauling them around. And now I desperately want to go to a flea market!! I haven't been to one in over 10 years or something maybe ?!

books for a dollar, or 50 cents, maaaan can you imagine!? PLEASE YES 📚

Can I tell you something?

A celestial city on the clouds with a staircase leading down to the top of the sky. At the base of this staircase, a golden child weeps into the ocean below. Pencil, watercolour wash, chalk and white paint on toned paper. Colour applied.

Good morning.

An old commission I did in 2019 that should have been coloured or used bolder linework but is fun to zoom into to look at all the characters I drew.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "The Ways of Truth and Light" 24"x18" oil on linen (2025). This moody, abstract-leaning seascape painting has a textured, orange-toned, atmospheric sky with textured colors of light on the horizon. Colors from the sky reflect in the water below as it meets a dark, rocky coast.

oh dang, I just noticed that about a week from now it will be Friday the 13th! Spooky season comes early this year!! 🎉🦇🎃

My Window, by Daniel F. Walthall: There is a window next to my bed, on the second floor, and my dog loves to lay near it, and look out, over the yards. Sometimes my cat will join him, and look out too. At green grasses and blue sky, and tall trees of many kinds, at the lonely traffic, at the wandering deer, and all of the raindrops, plus every dancing snowflake. But only sometimes. And when I notice this, I can't help but join them both, and look out too. Which is perfect, because it's just an ordinary window, so all three of us must be close, to each other, for all three of us, to see.

A typewritten poem by Daniel Walthall that reads: "FLOWERS - I have always thought flowers were beautiful, but I am a man, and men, aren't supposed to adore flowers. Such nonsense, pure lies. Because when the sweet rose, opens its arms, blooming through the night, and lighting the sky with laughter, and filling a heart with love. Every man should rejoice, and then do everything they can, to ensure, that there will always be, more, beautiful flowers in this world."

I wrote this poem last night on my typewriter

Oh cool, you're on threads? That's what I'm hanging on by

I still remember so many of the principles that I learned in those advanced art classes, and her passion for art fueled my own passion for art. She took art seriously, but she still made it fun!

I learned almost everything I know about composition, painting, drawing, design, etc. from her classes

The more advanced art classes I took were even better, and the teacher I had for those classes also seemed to love my art

Don't get me wrong, not all of my stuff was good! but art was already my passion, before I had even seen high school, so at that point having advanced art classes was incredible

I'm almost crying thinking about it now

and I did, I put as much of myself and my time into each project we did as I wanted/needed. I was behind most of the time, but it was because I was pouring more into each piece of art.

That she believed in me made a huge impact on me <3

The first teacher I had, for the basic to intermediate classes, noticed I was starting to fall behind, but she also seemed to love my art <3

She told me one day that it was okay if I wanted to spend more time on each piece of artwork than the rest of the class, just to keep doing what I was doing

Even in the basic art classes I took, I found myself enthralled by all of it, it was the best thing ever! I think even back then, making art was an escape for me, and I would get lost in it

The only problem was that I was spending so much time on each artwork we did, that I was falling behind

This was back when high schools still had an art budget. We still had to use really cheap materials of course, but there were at least a half-dozen art classes you could take, basic to advanced, even digital art in a tiny computer lab! (like 6 computers so it was a small class, lol)
