the cool part about being an artist is that the process of making art in any form is truly smthng beneficial for mental health. would love to see more ppl engaging w/ crafts&art in a handson way instead of playing around w/ genAI. i really think they'd get more bang for their buck. #starterpacknoai

a ”toy” starter pack packaging. it features an action-figure like rendition of myself as a toy together with some accessories - a slab of parmesan, journaling stuff, a kettlebell and a small MIDI keyboard for music production.

feels like the world is on fire and the challenges have not been lacking in my own personal life either in the past few weeks. i don't know what to do other than persist though. make art, make games, find community and hope for the best. 🥹

a digital pencil drawing of a female character nestled into the body of a horse that is laying down and relaxing alongside her. the character is eating an apple and reading a book, but is seemingly taking a break from both to look thoughtfully into the distance.

took a class about color and composition with the very talented and super fun Justine Thibault a few weekends ago that changed my brain chemistry. this is a little wip that started as homework for the workshop but i've been trying to channel all the info i absorbed into a more refined image.

a digital painting sketch of a unicorn grazing at dusk next to a large old tree. the tip of the unicorn's horn is lit with a bright white star, and in the twilight sky we see a similar star light up between the clouds.

what do you think they’re gossiping about?? 👁️🩸

A drawing of a castle room with a large fireplace and a plush red couch on which rests a small ghostly dog and a female figure reading a book. Small black creatures with a single red eye are hanging around the room as well, one on the shoulder of the figure on the couch telling her something in an animated manner. The atmosphere is cozy but also mysterious.

🌱🐸🐛🍄 something gooey, something green, the circle of life is a beautiful thing! 🌱🐸🐛🍄 ✏️ #Illustration #IsoArt #Procreate

an isometric illustration of a fantasy cottage interior. an old blackened tree dominates the main space, a small circular kitchen takes up room in an alcove covered with a blue tiled roof. various types of fungi grow in corners, nooks and crannies. two stuffed animal heads frame a window through which warm sunlight filters in. two amphibian looking characters are seen, one sitting on a stool next to the window, smoking a pipe. the other looks to be worshipping the tree on the ground floor. the color palette is warm, lots of browns, oranges and yellows with accents of teal, blue and green.

O for the mussels opening in the ocean’s oven. O for the rising ozone, the dropping oxygen, for algae overblooming like an omen or an oracle. O Earth, out-gunned and out-manned. O who holds the void inside itself. O who has made orphans of our hands. — Claire Wahmanholm, from “O,”
