How are we 5 days away from March? Thanks to your help, I made my GoFundMe goal for February. But it's been a rough time for sales and I am still $1400 short for my rent payment. If you would consider giving my shop a look or sending over a donation, it would mean so much to me 💜🙏

Had a weekend to remember with some high-highs and lows (scary tire blowout on a freeway with no shoulder), but it’s surreal going from the dynamic energy of being at immersive events with tens of thousands of people… back to the daily grind. A very particular type of mental whiplash, to be sure.

I'm delighted to share a gorgeous piece of artwork Mohish_ko (www.instagram.com/mohish_ko/) created of Natasha Romanov teasing the Winter Soldier with a piece of bubble gum in the hopes of coaxing him to remove his mask to tie into a scene in my story! I adore it!

A painting by Mohish_ko showing the Winter Soldier sitting next to Natasha Romanov atop a showy rooftop with their legs dangling off the edge. It’s night out, and snowflakes are falling from the sky. Both of them are dressed in black tactical gear and he is holding a sniper rifle with his signature chrome arm with the red star. Natasha has short red hair and is smiling at him as she blows a pink bubble and offers him a piece of chewing gum. The Winter Soldier’s face is wearing his customary black muzzle which covers his nose and mouth, and he appears to be furrowing his eyebrows at the request because he suspects Natasha is trying to manipulate him into removing his mask, and doesn’t intend to fall for it.

My paint categorization and organization never stops, and this weekend I spent some time fine-tuning my fourth tiny tin of watercolors. The thrust behind the newest watercolor palette on the lower right was to fill out some gaps and build out a compact UV reactive tin.

Updated this meme-edit to make it a little more apparent these were intended to be two different people, but high-fiving yourself while you're drowning in these wild times is valid too. ❤

I had fun with these bright sunrise colors. ❤️ Making Kandi has been a nice distraction amidst, well, everything going on around us.

Enjoyed seeing Brave New World, and it left me feeling nostalgic about some of the Sam Wilson-related fan art I've painted. I really enjoyed painting the wings in this one.

I’m fairly sick at the moment with pneumonia, so beading some Kandi was a nice little activity to keep my brain occupied.

I've put together a collage of a portion of the fan art that I've made in the last few years, many of which tie into my ongoing MCU fic, "Winter of the White Wolf," which is now 870k+ words! It's such a trip reflecting back on each of these paintings and the joy fandom has brought me. ❤

It's been a long and challenging road, but after about 44 hours of work, I've finally finished this painting of Bucky, and I'm incredibly proud of the result. I hope you can feel the gravitas of the emotional moment I was trying to capture. It feels like I leveled-up with this piece. ❤

A painting by KLeCrone showing an emotive Barnes from the chest up. He is dressed in a portion of the black leather tactical gear from when he was the Winter Soldier, and is fitted with his signature chrome arm with the red star. His long brown hair is loose and wild, and his expression appears distressed. God rays of light stream down from behind his head. He’s focused on his signature Winter Soldier mask, which is dangling from straps around his left hand, and is seen against a smoke-filled pale blue and brown background.

Here's a painted color chart of #WinsorNewton Artists' Watercolors from around the 1950s-1970s. Many of these colors have been retired or updated. Of particular interest is true gamboge, chrome colors (made with lead chromate), carmine and violet carmine (highly fugitive and made from beetles!)

Here's a printed color chart of #WinsorNewton Artists' Watercolors from around the 1970s-80s. Many of these colors have been retired or updated with brighter or more lightfast colors. Printed charts aren't as vibrant or exacting as the actual pigments, but they are a fun part of art history!

Here are some #WinsorNewton Artists' Oil Colors from around the mid century 1900s. Many of these colors have since been retired or updated with brighter or more lightfast colors. Of particular interest are the cinnabar greens (made with mercury), Chrome colors (made with lead chromate), & more.

Spent a little time decompressing by scanning some of my color charts! Here's some #WinsorNewton gouache from around the mid century 1900s. Gouache are opaque watercolors, and many of these colors have since been retired or updated with brighter or more lightfast colors.

Some people enjoy consuming media. Others go a step further and show their love of characters and worlds by creating their own inspired work. This wonderful circle of creativity is why I've now written (and illustrated!) over 850k+ words of MCU fanfiction, and I wouldn't change a thing. ❤

A cropped illustration by KLeCrone showing a discolored journal entry with tan paper and brown ink written both vertically and horizontally. Some additional markings have been made in blue, red, and green ink, and select words have been highlighted. On the right hand side there is a section that has been made to look like an old torn newspaper article, featuring text in Hungarian surrounding a black and white photograph of an empty European city street at night time. Along the skyline, an image of a person with red hair has been drawn in with red and black ink.

Lately life's been crazy busy and magical in equal measure. This weekend I got to check off a bucket-list item and see (and dance to!) Darude playing "Sandstorm." :) An ever-vibrant mix of art, writing, music, adventures, and great friends have kept me uplifted in these wild times we live in.

I feel like I’m barely on social media at all these days and part of it has been the wild algorithms in play elsewhere. I’m trying to see if I can peek in around these parts a little more often. <3 Here’s a clip from #JohnSummit at the Kia Forum as a gift. :)

What if they kissed at midnight in the pumpkin patch? 🎃 🐈‍⬛ I am taking pre-orders for these new glow in the dark Patch Cats. I will remain open through Halloween or until I reach capacity, whichever comes first. Get your order in early!

Two cat sculptures, lying down and facing each other, touching noses. They have vines and small pumpkins growing from their bodies. The cat on the left is aqua and the one on the right is black. There are pumpkins in the background.

The same two cats from the first image only they are now in the dark, glowing brightly. The one on the left is aqua and the one on the right is green.

I know there is a idiom about "don't judge a book by its cover," but if the "cover" is something generated by an AI prompt, just... pass. No thank you. Pay. Actual. Artists.
