That feeling when you're going through it 💧

thanks so much 💖

ugh, yes.

yepp!! i made a photo album with my bad skin pictures, but sometimes i still wonder if it was really that bad. but it was the feeling of having multiple deep infections that was so distressing.. and knowing i had to tend to them for at least a week before they turned into pigment scars.

thank you! and thanks for sharing that picture! it's lovely :)

aww, tell her i appreciate that! i do feel like there's more conversations about skin imperfections these days, that weren't happening when i was growing up. i felt sooooo alone in my struggles because no one i knew had it.

thanks so much! and totally agree. imperfections make things interesting and human.

thank you!!

As a person with acne, this helps my self-image: studying the faces of people who have it, and realizing they are still beautiful even though their skin has imperfections.

Every year, we do a secret santa event in my discord server. This year, I was asked to draw a Christmas ghost for Frederik Gheysen, one of my long time patrons ❄️

agreed. i have no clue why it's pushing certain stuff onto my feed. feels like a waste of time to figure it out, since it's changing all the time anyways.

i think there's so much value in real-life connections! was there any specific way you approached the con in order to get the most out of it? did you just walk up to people or did you table?

artists! the social media landscape has changed so much in the past years. what are you doing to promote your art / get visibility? what's working / not working for you?

thanks!

thanks so much, really appreciate your kind words 😊

thanks so much!

ohh! happy to hear people are still on there, i've been faithfully posting there for decades 😊

that's amazing! congrats 😊

you too!

it was a very lucky moment in terms of lighting 😂 and just having done my hair a few minutes before.

My #artvsartist for this year! I loved working with bright colors, glowing lights and swoopy shapes. The smudge tool had a chokehold on me and completely changed my rendering process. I wish I’d had more time for my art, but I still think I churned out some decent pieces. How was this year for you?

Painting over my sketches in Procreate to create colorful heads - my favorite thing to draw, so I do it over and over again.

That feeling when you realize you’re in a dream 💭

yes! that's a big part of it: blending the colors together to create some harmony.

me toooo! the dopamine hit when you get that perfect blend... 👌

haha yes but i love lisa frank! i think it's an example of an insane color scheme that works because there's some consitency to it.

Bright colors are fun, but also tricky. Sometimes you just end up with a pile of rainbow barf 😭
