Yep! There are some absolutely unbelievable stained glass windows from the late 1800’s. Those are my standards and what I’m striving for.

I’ll delete this in a bit, because I’m not technically supposed to show client work, but I was really happy with how this turned out so I wanted to share. Still need to put in the lead lines for when we cut the glass

I’m not sure what the solution to this is, but I can not be swiping through TikTok and run into a live stream of Perez Hilton viciously stabbing himself with a knife. I’m legitimately not gonna be able to sleep it was so gruesome

Found out that my great grandmother was Québécois and I had absolutely no idea. Suffice to say, I’ll be applying for duel citizenship asap

One of my favorite birds and I’m so jealous we don’t have them in the states

Went in for an adhd evaluation, and not surprisingly, he said I showed telltale symptoms. This line from his assessment made me laugh in particular cause uff “Erik was open and responsive to questions, but he sometimes provided lengthy and tangential response” Sir, must you drag me like this

I could probably dm you if you really wanted to know. I don’t think it’s that big of a secret

I gotta be careful with what I say, but I know what I’ll be working on for the next 15 years of my life

Let me do some research and see how feasible this could be. It would have to be around May/June for breeding season, so maybe this would have to be a 2027 thing. Bethel I believe is the biggest close city

Being kinda serious? The Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta is not an easy place to get to, but I’m sure I could figure out logistics

Does anyone want to come with me to Alaska and take reference photos of ducks for the duck stamp competition?

Did a while ago it’s honestly not that bad

lol it’s relatively new still, and I still spend part of my time In Minneapolis. But yeah, BOOO to We Energies!

I live in Milwaukee so I’m unfortunately very familiar with We Energies

I was trying to keep myself occupied and do my best to not to think about what is happening in my home city, so I painted this portrait study. Tempted to fuck around with it a little and experiment, but I’ll probably just hang it up in my studio and put it up for sale

I hate this trope. Maybe some people find inspiration from their trauma, but personally, I just shut down

Erik Krenz @dreadfulk.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

All I ever want to hear is, “you painted that? Holy crap!”

Erik Krenz @dreadfulk.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I agree with the food and the clothes, but the perpetual darkness and 5 months of being basically stuck in the house isn’t great for my seasonal depression

I tabled at an anime convention this weekend and two little girls came up to my table and said my work was high in atheistic. Not sure exactly what that means, but I took it as a compliment

Erik Krenz @dreadfulk.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Ugh that’s a great thought and I wish that had occurred to me when I painted this

My partner made and designed them! They’re so good!

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 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

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

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

Erik Krenz @dreadfulk.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

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

Erik Krenz @dreadfulk.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

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!

Erik Krenz @dreadfulk.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Can I get some recommendations on a good cintiq?

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