www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/16... not sure if this counts as affordable (it was $500 when I got it a few years ago) but this is the best scanner I’ve ever used. The top comes off and it’s easy to scan big pieces in sections. Worth the cost considering how vital it is for good scans for repros.

Don’t go look at the biggest most expensive piece I have hanging up then get mad I ask to get paid for literal months of work. I know everyone knows someone who does art so it’s not that big of a deal to see an image anymore. But Jesus Christ. That’s why I have prints.

I’ve been rejected to more than half the shows I applied to this year. Still get mad about every single one 😂

That’s a large part of the reason why I’m switching to 3D mixed media… can’t use AI to make a gourd (yet). Also 2d pip culture/fantasy art just might actually be the most oversaturated medium. CBGs will never not be cool. 😎

A gossip stone cast using some very old art resin that’s too yellow for art but still good for casting. Turned out really nice for my first silicone mold and plastic cast. OoT is still the GOAT even after all these years.

This has been the slowest spring season since I first got started doing shows 14 years ago. So I’ve been putting all that time I would have spent making prints into gardening instead.

Found a rogue daffodil while inspecting the backyard for this year’s garden 🌼

The Hermit remake… these days I like to get about 90% with a piece then set it aside for a few weeks to finish up with fresh eyes.

Andy @skullgarden.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Actually now that I think about it, it’s probably because I just finished BG3 and romanced Halsin.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

love to log on after a couple of hours and check if any brand new world-shattering crises have happened since the last time I checked or if we’re still freaking out about the last batch

It really sucks right now bro. Shows aren’t much better. I’ve been rejected or waitlisted from 80% of the shows I’ve applied to this year and sales are about half of what they were 2 years ago. Don’t feel bad, it’s not you it’s everyone.

Some new paintings for Atlanta Oddities and Curiosities this weekend… been challenging myself to finish at least one painting a day.

IMPACT ☄️ one of my favorite paintings from last summer, a frustrated expiriment to cover up another failed painting.

I nuked my Instagram and everyone was telling me not to ☹️ I had an art career before meta and I’ll have one after it too. Still sucks thinking fondly of all those connections made a decade+ ago, but those sites are long gone now. Btw really hope to see you at dragoncon again this year

All set up in Louisville for Oddities and Curiosities Expo this weekend… got quite a lot of new experimental stuff this year 🖤

In my humble professional opinion, art that is so “bad” it had to be made by a person will be more popular now that AI is reaching hyperrealism. Aesthetics like wabi sabi, movements and genres like folk art will be highly valued. At least I hope so.

AI witch hunters are the dumbest fuckers, lmao. “Pro artists don’t make mistakes like that” is just negging from underskilled losers who overestimate their own abilities and vision. Like people who read tv tropes and are suddenly experts on writing. I have Genuine disdain for these people lol
