Semester 9 begins in February - if you'd like to sign up or learn more, here's the website:

An image showing the colors for a comic panel painted loosely on transparent plastic film.
Lifting the transparent plastic film to show a printout of the black and white panel underneath.
For this whole dream sequence I did the colors in acrylic paint on transparent Duralar. I wanted imperfection and texture and this method turned out to be a ton of fun!!! 🤘🏼

Popping my head up to prove I still exist ❤️
I've been working with pastels lately and still feel self-conscious posting my work. Something about traditional art feels more personal to me I guess
Anyway here's Medusa

All skill levels are welcome. The goal of the video will be to help prepare artists who are seeking to break in to commercial/entertainment industries.
A hastily made clay figurine made during DB2024's Askmaster segment. I think it was supposed to be the Venus deMilo?
Are you an acrylic artisan, proficient with paper, unmatched in upcycling, or creatively skilled in any number of alliterative ways?

Glaze has eaten a bit of the background texture, but I reckon that's worth the sacrifice.

Lazy Nezumi is hands down one of the best bits of software I've spent money on.
I absolutely would not have been able to get through the urban 3 point perspective piece I've just finished anywhere nearly as easily or as speedily as I did without it.
It is such a powerful tool - don't hesitate!
Today it's my birthday ! ✨️🥳
So let me just share my favorite illustrations because i don't have new work to share.
may I ask you to repost this, it would mean a lot 😊
Happy birthday, Christina! 🥳

Good news: the Imaginative Realism Foundation has (2) scholarships to the Illustrative Intensive for 2025
It's a full ride of tuition, food, transportation to attend for an underserved artist in fantasy/sci-fi
Big thanks to @deveric.net and Nathan Weber for making this all work! More news soon!
I'll be in the main show at IlluXcon in October!
To anyone who will be there, are there any particular paintings you would like to see me bring? I've got...a lot, and I'm overwhelmed by choice. 😅
