Painting fell off the wall while trying to take a really good photo of it. Landed right on the corner and dented the panel 😭😭😭

So my Fiancé has started making melted cheese…experiences. He calls it “Going To Flavourtown” Please suggest more Ingredients/“tickets to Flavourtown” - we’re running out of ideas to innovate with here

What I’m learning from being forced to work with limited palettes is mostly that Burnt Sienna is my bestie and I feel lost without her.

Played guitar for the first time in years tonight. My left pinky was numb for two years and apparently now I have control of it. It sounds dramatic but I never thought I’d play again. I needed this. Fuck, dude.

I really appreciate when artists talk about this publicly!! As an AD I have so much more strength behind my request to publishers when I ask them to stop using AI references if I can say "this is costing us artists"

Procreate Pocket might actually save me from my doomscrolling habit. It’s not a precision tool but swirling colours around is probably more enriching than continual updates on what The Orange Idiot is up to now.

Yes yes yes. A reminder that it is normal and expected to have periods of growth, periods of rest, and periods of doubt.

Someone who's followed me on Instagram for 2.5 years didn't know I'd done a full tarot deck even though they followed me when I started drawing the cards. However annoying you think you're being about your work - triple that and it still won't be even close. ✨Repost your work right the fuck now.✨

Randomly remembered this painting I did (2014) today and still think it's pretty cool honestly! I love this color combination.

A digital painting of a purple dragon perched on a rock, framed by a stormy blue sky and with a red firey glow in its mouth and eyes.

Say what you want about these dark and twisted times, where fools are running the most important institutions—at least we have cured impostor syndrome.

Every sketchbook (~60) I filled between 12 to 22 no longer exist. They were destroyed in a fire. Every time I see people make fun of their old creations I want to reach out & hug them. They don't know how precious those things are, & that makes me glad for them. Please treasure your old works.

Honestly, sometimes just one single nice comment on an art piece or sketch is enough to make my day. Especially because you don't know what someone is going through, so being nice might just help someone's day be better. You never know how much it can mean to someone.

If you’re waiting to feel “good enough” to share your art, you’ll be waiting forever. Very few artists feel that way, at all stages of their careers. Share anyway 🩵

I can’t recommend enough the power of switching mediums when you’re feeling stuck or insecure artistically. Heck, even just switching the brand/type of pen or pencil or brush you use can be enough to shake out the nerves and help drawing become fun again! ✍️

The August review is out for patrons! 🍂 www.patreon.com/posts/137902... Sketchbook explorations in various media, digital commission work, and a status update.

Grayscale pencil drawing in progress of a cartoon moth person. They have comet or madagascan moon moth patterns on their wings: large round eyespots and darkened wingtips with tails on their hind wings. They're posed with lower arms held out, one leg bent, and looking to their side with large, alert eyes. One of the wings is still sketchy and unrefined with the rest of the drawing largely finished. Two pencils rest on the page to the right of the art.

Ever time, hours into a painting, I'll look back and go "yeah I should've sketched that out properly instead of just winging it". Does that mean that I'll sketch it out properly the next time? No
