The more GEN AI creeps into everyday life the more people will miss the amateur art around them. School murals done by students, hole-in-the-wall restaurant menus put together by an employee using free clipart, even "bad" paintings done at a drink and paint event-Things with human imperfections.

Hi guys, My contract ended and am now looking for work. I am a concept designer with more than 10 years of experience in stylized concept and production art within the entertainment industry. I especially love creature and character design but love worldbuilding as well.

Another Lascaux horse. From last Autumn.
Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux. The horse is yellow, with an orange neck/face. It starts on the left/hindquarters as a cave painting and then becomes more three dimensional to the right/front. The background of the relief is textured to look rock-like. There are various painted lines around the horse including two that look like feathers, and 4 parallel lines above. Framed relief sculpture of a horse, based on the axial gallery of the Lascaux.

Pair of Sachicasaurus vitae, splashing around 124 MYA in the waters over what will someday be Colombia. Included a color rough in the thread- this piece was relatively painless thanks to that step and definitely something I always need to remember to incorporate! #paleosky #sachicasaurus #paleoart

Hayao Miyazaki films start in his sketches—his "image boards." It’s a habit he’s kept up for 60 years. He works fast and loose, mainly in pencil and watercolor. Perfection isn't the goal. But you can trace his growth through the pictures. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-image-...

And very belated, but here are all the outdoor studies I did back in February- finally got around to arranging and photographing them. All done in oils, usually between 20-30 minutes to really focus on capturing light and brushwork!
