A few days ago I was gifted the largest canvas I have ever worked with, a 30x40, that had been left at someone's home and found when they moved in... just sitting. I've never painted a canvas this big. So I'm being experimental. This should be fun! #artist #art #wip #acrylicpainting

I am genuinely amused. I got the multifilament attachment for my printer. So of course I print Bulbasaur magnets. Lots on my mind lately. Recovery from comic con was not small. Thinking about a name change and fully embracing my path. It's time to leave old things behind. #artist #3dprinting

It's a lovely Sat night. Here's new #thebandghost memes These memes were created with figurines, done by @piecesbymina.bsky.social who creates other cool works, from resin art to painted 3D crafts! Please go follow them, and show them some love.

Two beautifully painted rapidash and Ponyta figures. Other similarly painted figures, are blurred in the background. The rapidash is labeled veteran fans warning me about bigoted community members. And the cute little innocent Ponyta looking up at the rapidash is labeled me a new ghost fan
