Ok! I’ll make some vids and try to walk through the process

Lead lines are HARD to figure out and I’m still trying to get a hang of it. It amazes me the shapes you can get out of glass, but there are still huge limitations, and most of lead lining is just figuring out where the weakest parts of the glass would be

Very tempted to take an atelier workshop in Florence since it sounds like my work will pay for it

A fall day in the park. Looking through a couple tall cottonwood trees to a still pond and island in the background. The leaves reflecting on the still water. A small red fox walking past in the foreground

A few years back I made a poster for one of Minneapolis’s parks, and I finally got around to doing another one. Really happy with how it turned out

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a piece of fanart, and I’m not sure why, cause they’re so much fun to do

Thankfully Catholics are extremely anti ai. Especially when the Franciscan priests come through

It’s such a bummer

My work often has clients come through the studio to show what we’re working on, and one of their selling points is that, “we still do everything traditionally with no ai” and it just bums me out so much that they even have to say that

I use procreate on my personal iPad all the time, but I’m looking for something a little more sturdy(?) for my job

Thanks everyone! Lol I guess I’m pretty old school too, cause I had no idea what a huion was

My work is very old school and we still do almost everything on paper. I suggested we use photoshop to help expedite the sketching stage for clients, and I thought a cintiq might be easier to use for some of these old timers. K I’ll suggest the newest model to my boss!

Can I get some recommendations on a good cintiq?

I just keep staring at it

Thank you! 😭

Never in my life, Hannah, did I think I’d own an Hiroshi Yoshida

Just happened to pick up a conversation with Japanese women who specializes in woodblock prints, and I told her of my love of Hiroshi Yoshida, and she was like, “oh I own a couple” 😱

It’s the real deal!

I know, RIGHT?

I almost didn’t buy it cause the print quality is SO perfect I thought it was a forgery. But it’s got the pinhole registration marks

A Hiroshi Yoshida wood block print of boats waiting for the tide to come in. Set with beautiful reflections of the boats in the water and rolling green, pink and purple hills in the background

Holy crap guys, I can not believe this is mine

Met a woman from Japan who specializes in woodblock prints, and she happened to have a couple originals by Yoshida! I’m seeing her on Saturday to look at them in person, but everything looks right and she has the provenance to back them! I’m BEYOND excited. Yoshida is one of my top 5

I might be buying an original Hiroshi Yoshida woodblock print and I’m kinda freaking the eff out

These are the cartoons for stained glass windows I’ll be working on. They’re for a church in Colorado

Haven’t really done much drapery since college, so it’s nice to dust off the cobwebs

Only 8 more paintings to go

Bluesky is like detox for me. I’m not on social media nearly as much as I used to be, and that is definitely a good thing

Reminds me of an old Fleischer Studios cartoon. Just needs Popeye

Holy shit I’m obsessed with Marcus

Normally I don’t really care when shows are canceled, but I’m still upset about this one
