I originally drew this in 2024, and a lot of things had been bugging me about it ever since. So I went back and made some changes. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1826... #nightowl #coffeeculture #insomniaproblems #tshirtdesign #artnouveau

I wanted to do a pride piece focused on queer joy this year, because we need it. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1813... #pridemonth #QueerJoy #queerlove #loveislove #cherryblossoms #sakurablossoms

A pastel-palette painting of two male cardinals kissing, perched among cherry blossoms and surrounded by a bubble of rainbow light. In many bird species, "kissing" or sharing food beak to beak is a courtship behavior.

Does anyone know what's going on here? I'm drawing a straight line here at a controlled speed, and the cursor is wobbling and lagging. This is annoying at the best of times, but it is regularly interfering with the shape and trajectory of my brush strokes, which quickly becomes a real problem.

My youngest just had her 9th birthday, and this is the cake she requested I make for her. Not exactly my neatest work, but all anyone cared about was the rainbow. 🌈 And the SUGAR #baking #cakedecorating

Photo of a pink birthday cake with white piping around the edges, sprinkles on the top, and a metallic pink candle in the shape of a 9.

Photo of the same cake after 3/4 has been eaten, revealing bright rainbow layers inside. Each color band is in a bullseye of concentric circles, from the center of the cake outward.

Spoiler: their answer was "get oil somewhere else." The correct answer was RENEWABLES. We finally have a market pain threshold that actively incentivizes what was always an existential necessity, but they're STILL holding onto the dirty habit with their eyeteeth.

So I guess this is what happens when you ignore a green onion in a pot for more than a year. This thing is like two feet tall and I haven't done a single thing to keep it alive.

This court's corrupt majority would happily condemn Justice herself. The partisan hacks who disgrace those seats should be put on trial right alongside their fascist benefactors.

Lady Justice kneels before an executioner with a raised axe. High above, nine judges decide her fate. Three vote to save her with thumbs up, and six vote to condemn her with thumbs down.

I was trying to explain to my daughter just how ludicrous it is to own a billion dollars, so pulled out my calculator: if you made $1k every single day, no breaks, how many years would it take before you had one billion dollars? This is how many years. And that's ONE billion. Just one. #eattherich

Bro, that eagle isn't even a real object, it's a flat graphic pasted on top of the photo. This is the real arch. From what I can determine by googling, the image on the right was made as an art piece. share.google/bph1F50GZN3C...

Well, shoot. I had to repair a spot on my glasses, so figured I'd have some fun and modify them a little. But it turns out the hinges can't be reassembled once they're taken apart, they're manufactured under tension. So now I can't use them at all. 🥲 #woodworking #crafts #art #diy

Phillips is obviously in need of an intervention of one kind or another. It's okay to be the adult in the room and say so, NYT. You don't have to deflect that "dubiousness" onto "experts."

Happy #TransDayofVisibility, everyone. It matters now more than ever. I'm a nonbinary trans man, and I've been out and transitioned for more than ten years now. Reposting a piece I did about transmasc joy, with a little humor. (Yes, there's an egg cracking joke in there. And a T cup joke.)

A masculine figure made of porcelain is riddled with transition-scar cracks mended with gold. He smiles to himself, holding a golden teacup. His head is cracked open like an egg, and inside it is filled with gold that overflows into the teacup.

Reference vs art I use DAZ Studio to help with poses for complex scenes, and my own photos for referencing more nuanced details like hands, clothing, etc. I use Blender for modeling environments and simulating lighting. Then I have like 20 windows open so I can look back and forth while I paint.

I did the thing. Decided to go with (some of) the games that I think had the most influence on me creatively.

Same kind of doublespeak as "retaliatory tariffs." You can't "preemptively" retaliate against someone else defending themselves from you. Complete reversal of cause and effect. But that's how it goes with DARVO. The regime by abusers, for abusers.

Here's an alternative version of the cover which I personally liked a lot, but was a bit ostentatious for the genre.

The same book cover of a dog herding big wild cats, but with the colors inverted. White background instead of black, blue and green figures instead of orange.

A book cover I illustrated is now live, for a book on computer systems engineering management. If it's in your field, you should check it out, the author is one of those crucial experts who leaves a big hole behind in their field whenever they retire. a.co/d/01axl5eO #booksky #illustration #art

Back in college, we were given a homework assignment: use silhouettes to illustrate a page from classic lit. I got VERY carried away and did a whole book instead. Fifteen years later, I've republished it using KDP. A few samples below. www.amazon.ca/Jabberwocky-... #booksky #artsky #steampunk #art

A boy climbs a stack of books, play-fighting with an imaginary sword. A real sword is framed on the wall behind him, with the label "Vorpal Blade"

A boy crouches atop a rock in the forest, large sword under his arm. He points it suspiciously at a small bat-like creature, uncertain whether or not it's friendly. A cutaway view of the ground below him shows a creature burrow filled with random scavenged junk.

The boy sits beneath a fruit tree, leaning against his sword and gazing idly across a grassy clearing while he eats a fruit.

A giant serpentine monster with centipede legs bursts from the forest, startling the boy from his reverie. He leaps to his feet, hauling the sword with him awkwardly in his surprise

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art! Most of my work is very detailed, but I don't usually do linework, so this set took me ages and cramped the heck out of hand
