Dog owners...please tell me I'm not the only one with a dog who has a nearly supernatural ability to know when the most inconveient time to need to go is? The sheer force of will this small dog has for insisting that she go out, again, the second I get on a business call or start to focus is epic.

I have a very assorted selection of clients ranging from children's media to "adult" media. Honestly I love having such diversity in the projects I work on. These two recent pieces were for an author that might fall into the latter category ;) They were fun. Thanks @kerrykilpatrick.bsky.social

Working on the first sketches for my upcoming portrait series. Special thanks to @rigante.bsky.social for being willing to be my first model. #art #portraits #portraitartist

A drawing of a male model done in a soft red colored pencil. Heavy line work on white paper.

In the meantime, I would be pretty happy with an art agent. Any takers?

As an artist who has attended every session I can vouch for this being a good crowd in a safe and low stress space. Feel also welcome to message me if you have questions.

My card game is officially in the final stages. Aside from tweaking some packaging details, it's ready to go...now the issue. What do I do with it? Advice? Suggestions? #indiegames #cardgames

At first glance I thought that this read "if I was still an author...." and genuinely felt a moment of anguish. Relieved to be wrong. I'm a big KJ Charles fan.

Something I love about #conceptart is how ideas get translated. The first is the loose concept. The second is one of a creatures that made it into the #demo. You can see how @ladylime.bsky.social translated them into the game's style and aesthetic. #indiegame #conceptart @shortlegstudio.com

The many iterations of concept art for a game. Here are some screenshots of some recent Ranger Station areas we've been working on. @shortlegstudio.com is also sharing Dev logs for anyone who is curious about what methods are being used. #indiegames #conceptart #parkranger #noai #art

Recent portrait study of an artist I follow on social media. I think he's only on Instagram (www.instagram.com/tofigart/ ) but we can forgive him for that.

Finally some good news, the Dungeons & Daddies tees are finally ready! I’ll be selling them Saturday May 3rd at the Spring Fling Block Party, rain or shine. The event takes place from 12-7 in White Center (16th between Roxbury and 100th St). I’ll be posting the shirts on my store on Sunday the 4th!

Yellow shirt with red ink. There’s a design of 6 D&D type characters, all “dads,” celebrating on the head of a deceased dragon.

My new book is out today! “Are you a friend of Dorothy?” written by Kyle Lukoff, published by Simon and Schuster. This book is about the ways queer people in history have used secret codes and slang to find each other in dark times. #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitillustrator #lgbtqbooks

Taking advantage of artists desperate for work by creating job postings that are driven by interaction farming. Whatever marketing team member told you this was a good call should probably see themselves out.

We are working hard on two new projects right now. Here's a brief glimpse at one of the characters in Plush Rangers: Tangelo. Tangelo is a tortoise that dashes into their enemies. They sometimes wander off but will come back in due time. #gamedev #indiegamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3593330

Do all artists have difficulty with time sense and show up to work way too early...or is it just me?

I'm in the final stages of creating my card game. Now comes the hard part. Funding and distribution. In the past I've used Kickstarter with mixed success. I find some traditional social media approaches to be either exhausting or unproductive...often both. Advice is encouraged! Any ideas?

Adam @adammbotsford.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Latest bird #painting is finished. I'm in the "I don't like it stage" many artists face when they first finish something but hopefully I'll come around to it.

Real talk for artists: What is your stance on licensing or commercial use language? And when do you use "work for hire" language? I feel comfortable with how I've been handling these topics, but a few recent clients have brought up some past experiences that left me with questions. #artists

Talking with a friend of mine yesterday and he asked which starter Pokémon I liked... I didn't have an answer. I don't think I like most of the starters.
