Pragmatic Magic

I think it's time for another social media break. I'll be back, eventually.

Keep on keepin' on folks.

Some kind of practical creature suit head freshly removed from the mold.

When you think about it, bread is a type of self-skinning expanding foam and could be used for making rarsuits.

Which foam do you use? Always looking for new material to try.

Maybe growing up poor did it, but it absolutely blows my mind how wasteful people are. I still pull perfectly good material from the trash. Wood, metal, plastic, functional electronics. Got 45' of fence panels the other day! Why buy something to throw away? Use it or give it to someone in need!

Stop! This is a work in progress checkpoint. QRP with your wip.

I guess this is technically several works in progress...

We live in the dumbest of all possible worlds.

Wow. I really don't want to be at work today.
Maybe we all should just go home and try again tomorrow.

When I was planning the Minotaur, I wanted to have removable horns for travel and storage, but they also had LED strips. So how to easily connect the power AND be solidly anchoed? A strong magnet that doubles as a touch power contact!

This is so true it hurts. Have ideas and a goal, but be prepared to make compromises. Sometimes things just dont work like they do in your head.

a digital painting of zinogre from monster hunter. it's in a rocky clearing of a forest full of leafless trees with peeling bark. the sky is overcast. it roars, lightning exploding from the fur on its back.

a four-winged dragon with black scales, and a scaleless chest that glows bright with inner fire, backlighting the ribcage. its horns and spikes are made of obsidian, and the webbing on its wings and tail glow orange. it's in a volcanic cave, geysers of lava erupting around it.

i could draw you something like this, you know. both of these were commissioned from me this past year 👀🐉

Hey it works! Added some lights to the giant monster paw sculpture, took me a minute to figure out how to light the eye using a translucent material that wouldn't look corny and had some depth when unlit. Ended up using layers of acrylic with cellophane under a glass cabochon, will post a

A mad scientist costume set I'm working on. There is some arm and hand armor linked by glowing tubing. On the back of the hand, two glowing syringes are emerging from a metal box. Two more syringes, full of green resin, sit next to the armor set. Behind all of it are a glowing gas mask and a set of old-fashioned lab goggles.

Yeah, I really want to just keep this. All of it.
Oh well, guess I need to get paid.

Our whole little group in 2016 that won the group Halloween costume contest at a bar in downtown Coeur d'Alene showing the parts that light up.

I think we're going to finally spruce up our Halloween costumes this year. Pretty happy with the heads still but the rest might get redone.

thanks to the folks who have commissioned me and bought one of my prints so far! i’m almost at 10% of my goal, hoping to get significantly further by the end of the month. i’ll try and workshop new print ideas to add to the shop too, i know it’s small rn lol

Went to the artist meet up the other day. Despite my being a half mad hermit, I think it went well. Met some folks, talked a little shop, and planned some projects. It was nice to physically be amongst my people, and I'm excited to do it again.
Now, more than ever, it's good to find community.

An illustration that I did as a banner/image for when I do art shares. It features a character that is probably an inaccurate depiction of myself, and just a random little character in an artists beret holding up a piece of paper which is supposed to feature your art....because your showing it to me (and others!) Rules are in the post itself :)

I know others have likely said this, but the point and the joy in art is that it is problem solving in action. It is watching your improvement piece by piece and creating a personal visual language

Whenever people use AI instead it quite literally defeats that entire purpose of creating

You sure are! It's looking great.

Every time I think to myself, this is the thing. This will snap people awake.
And then I'm met with a resounding "Chill out dude, it'll be fine."

I actually always find this X-Files clip really inspiring that way, like yeah I do 100% believe Fox Mulder wants me to stay alive

Anyone wanna go yell at the heavens sometime? I feel like we could all use a good ol' yelling at the heavens.

😆 Sorry for being obnoxious about this.. but I'm going to be obnoxious. I really want to get most of these sold! Haven't gotten to ship anything out in a fat minute and I'd like to see more go to new homes. The sooner I sell out, the sooner I can close!

That's incredible!

Can't believe I finally started to apply the paints on this. Only took a bajillion months of staring at it. Now I kinda don't wanna stop painting til it's done

Straight outa the trenches.

Ever get near the end of a project and think "Man, I wish I could just keep this."?

Benny being cute

HELP PLZ SHRE

Benny is currently at the vet. He wasn't eating, or drinking water. He was vomiting and couldn't even stand up.

The vet bill is going to be roughly $1,500 and that's not including if he needs x-rays.

Buy a print or throw me a few bucks, please.
