I stopped by Foursided today and saw my painting from the Mini Art Show sold! It ended up selling 30 minutes into the art show itself, to my delight. I hope the buyer enjoys it when they take it home! #artshow #art #chicago #watercolor #painting

Last page of this sketchbook! I use the last page to clean markers on so it’s always fun to draw on top of that. #art #drawing #sketchbook #portrait #artjournal #travelersnotebook #acrylicmarkers

Singing is a huge stress-reliever to me, and what better time to sing than when you’re cleaning? I call it Snow White-ing. #art #sketchbook #journalcomic #whistlewhileyouwork #artjournal

Some sketches of the dancers at Lot Jams last night. Really wonderful way to close out the concert series. #art #drawing #lotjamsalbanypark #indiaink #sketchbook

Am I Good? Is This Okay? #illustration

A blue angel, its abdomen split, several intestines hanging out, one cradled in its hand as it looks on in mild concern. The background black and red and white and shapes.

My ongoing misadventures of trying to replace the guitar nut that split on my guitar. Clearly I need to give it more than one day for the glue to dry. #journalcomic #art #drawing #artjournal #sketchbook

Had a great time at Jenny G‘s Tiny Tag Community Art Benefit! I was happy to see my tag was sold before the event and was able to raise a little bit more money for a great cause. And I love the free screen print for my tote bag! Great event 👍 #chicago #art #artstore #jennygsartsupply #painting

I’m participating in Jenny G’s Art Supply‘s Tiny Tag Community Art Show Benefit! 100% of the sales go to a mother and teen son who were detained by ICE for three months. The kiddo joined in too with her own art. Hope to see you there! #tinytag #art #chicago #gouache

I had time to work on a larger painting this weekend, so I made this coyotes in Graceland Cemetery watercolor painting as a Father’s Day gift for @pcharnkov. Thanks for being an amazing father to our kid! #watercolor #painting #chicago #gracelandcemetery #coyotes

This week’s backyard plein air painting: some of the peonies are hanging in there. #peonies #pleinair #watercolor #painting #art

The peonies have bloomed and will likely be gone by next weekend, so they’re my subject for today #pleinairpainting #watercolor #flowers #peonies #art

More portrait practice, wanted to experiment with Bristol board and a weird angle. Not crazy about the Bristol board with my Tombows but it’s likely a skill issue. #drawing #portrait #art #markers

I’m having a bad mental health day and this is the best I can do today. It’s okay to have bad days. Anything worth doing is worth doing badly. #painting #watercolor #pleinair #flowers #letsdowhatwecan

A few weeks ago I make some ATC collages for @murphyao.ink ‘s workshop, and she put all of them together in a chapbook! Mine arrived today and it looks great! Thanks @murphyao.ink, it was a blast. Fun fact: I’m in the picture on the back. #chapbook #collage #atc #artisttradingcard #art

First backyard painting session of the season! Had to finish it inside thanks to the weird on-and-off rain, and it’s way overworked, but you gotta start somewhere. Just paint! #painting #art #watercolor #pleinair #tulips

I dreamt Jigsaw hated my ass

A four frame comic made in post it notes. In the first frame a character who is chained by her wrists to the ceiling and is waking up in a SAW game. The tv shows the villain puppet Jigsaw who asks "HELLO I WANT TO PLAY A GAME". The character replies, tired : "like balatro or somethin?". Jigsaw looks unhappy.
