With luck, a hundred years from now (or more, who knows), someone will be drawing, because they saw the works of someone who was inspired to draw by my works. The joy of painting, paid forward into the unkown future. That would be amazing. #drachenmagier #art

Giving myself a little pat on the back for this product photo. Taking pics of my work is something I feel so unconfident in and I usually hate every attempt even when I follow all the advice generously shared with me! Special edition of The Botan Tarot drops Sept 18!
Product photo of a special red edition for The Botan Tarot, my self-published tarot deck illustrated in watercolor. The box is reminiscent of Japanese lacquerware. Around the box are various Japanese items with red, gold, and black.

OC Sparrow, ever ready for adventure! I just really liked how this sketch turned out after weeks of burnout-induced artblock #oc
A draft sketch of my OC Sparrow (who is the Page of Swords in The Botan Tarrow and inspired by the Japanese folktale “The Tongue-cut Sparrow”). She is a young woman with a naive hunger for adventure, prone to rash decisions but full of good intentions!

One of my favorite things Peter Cullen did was this very specific Toonami bumper So when Cartoon Network acquired Hamtaro, they didn't know what to do with it so they shoved this wholesome show onto Toonami, and Toonami clearly didn't know how to advertise it Peter's voice just makes it funnier

Show how you draw old people (Asian elders version!). I know I still have a lot to learn in this particular subject matter, but I’m still proud of myself for these three 💜 • The Empress, The Emperor, and The Teacher from The Botan Tarot
Watercolor painting of an older Japanese woman with a chic asymmetrical angled bob and a purple robe with pomegranates on it. In her hands she holds a shamoji rice paddle and a large basin of rice. This is The Empress from The Botan Tarot, inspired by the artist’s mother and grandmother.A watercolor painting of a handsome older Japanese man. He has a short but full beard and his long grey hair is tied in a top knot. He affectionately touches the beak of the large eagle that is perched on his shoulders. This is The Emperor from The Botan Tarot, meant to invoke a softer and gentler image of East Asian father figures.A watercolor painting of a Japanese elder obscured by a half oni-bull-mask and ginkgo leaves. Their weathered hands hold an across and a sumi-e brush. This is The Teacher from The Botan Tarot.

And not even in a “they paid more so I must do more labor to even it out” mindset, it’s like a “they believe in me! I can’t let them down! I’m gonna art the art so artfully because they trust me and that is a sacred thing!!!”

I usually receive tips after the piece in completed (in which case I try to throw in extra goodies like stickers, postcards, etc) but if someone is generous enough to tip before I get started I absolutely lock in on a whole diff level 😆

An oldie from 2022 that has been on my mind lately.
Part 1, text reads “Sometimes things don’t work out.” A simple line sketch of the artist, casting a glum look at a dead shriveled houseplant.
Part 2, text reads “You can always try again.” A simple line sketch of the artist watering a new tiny houseplant.

And here is the larger piece!
A purple hair witch casts a spell with a magic rice paddle, using a fancy modern rice cooker as her cauldron, and various popular Japanese ingredients and snacks swirl around her. This is the artist's original character, Nara the Witch, and Nara's familiar, Russell the Crow.

Russell the Crow! A very sweet but cheeky boi, beloved familiar of Nara. He cannot speak other than an emotive range of “bruh” but she understands him well enough.
A closeup on a watercolor painting, this is Russell the Crow. He is the beloved corvid familiar of my OC Nara the Witch. He’s got a very cheeky personality, which shines through in this painting.

I love this combo! Beardsley would be a very empathetic helper to Bernie - we’ve seen them go from beginner to pro themselves and now they’re very helpful towards other new players in other seasons. “This one’s the D12, you got it!” Then with an impish grin go “now watch me blow up Brennan’s plan” 😈

Artists quote with your yellow art! • Yellow is definitely a tough color for me - I need to familiarize myself a little better!
Watercolor painting with brushes in the background. The painting features a person shrouded in faded indigo clothing and a hood, their face covered by a half oni-mask. They are partially obscured by yellow ginkgo leaves. In one hand they hold a scroll, the other an ink brush.
This painting is The Teacher from the 2nd edition of The Botan Tarot (my version of The Hierophant)

A little Brushbuddy 🍊 #Art
An illustration of brushbuddy from witch hat atelier, a little white creature thats sort of a long smooth squirrel, it has no ears or visible mouth but it does have large eyes, a long tail and little grabby hands. The brushbuddy has his little body wrapped around a tree branch as it reaches down for some oranges that are growing from the tree.

Maybe the influencers genuinely want to pass down knowledge. I won’t fault them on that front. But my god, this life was not meant to be a speed run. Please enjoy the path! The scrap paper, the crayons, the events that only bring in $50 but make you feel so light you could fly.

I also see these same young artists crashing out because they aren’t getting the results that the INFLUENCERS claim. They make the same art, drop $$$ on products, supplies, the perfect office setup, event fees…and then panic when their first event ever didn’t pan out how they expected.

I began my journey back to art and into this art career over 10 years ago. The amount of info available to young artists is something I never had and on one hand it makes me happy to see how accessible it can be now. I am sincerely rooting for all the young (both in age and career) artists. And yet…

This brought me joy.
A photo of a stovetop with a casserole and an open bag of chips right behind it. With the stove dials in the background, the bag looks like a giant excited mouth with eyes very happy about the casserole. Next to the photo is digital art recreating the photo as an actual super happy creature holding a casserole

Especially meaningful to know he felt immense pressure to get it right, for both Chinese audiences and American audiences. I would have been too young to articulate it at the time, but as an Asian American I think it also meant the world to those of us who stood in multiple cultures.
