Close Passenger 🚖 #printmaking #linoprint #darkart #artsky
a black and white art print: the cheerful face of the grim reaper greets you in the rearview mirror. he has a fire in his eyes that makes the dread-thump of your heavy heart so very aware that he's happy to see you

Taking the edge off 🚬 #lino #printmaking #noir
a black and white ink print of the intrepid private eye in repose, his tie loosened and his button-up shirt in disarray...he is enjoying a cigarette while he contemplates the latest twists and turns in this sinking city

Proof of concept here is good, but we're gonna give the 8 ball another pass for detail on the next go
two block prints of magic 8 balls side by side; the blue fortune inside taunts you, one declaring: "nah", the other " LOL"

The blue was chosen on a whim and dried like shit, but not bad for a test run. Working on my burnishing and inking for crispier edges...we'll clean up and try again in black

next block print?? big if true
digital art drawn in black and white. a crystal ball has been shattered, releasing mysterious tendrils of smoke or magic from inside. It's surrounded by a plane of glimmering stars.

Gently nurturing myself back to life with an impulse purchase of a block printing set. The creative burnout has been going on and on with day job demands, but it's nice to remember that art can also be slow and frivolous 🖤

I regret to inform you that bastard man........hot................ #art #ffxiv
it's digital art of a buff man with dark skin, dark hair tied back, and dragon-like scales and horns. unfortunately he's wearing a vest, tie, and harness that make him very hot, and we hate this because he's a certified bastard man.

Every time I go to Aldi, I pass this by and make the same joke to my husband -- "Hey look, it's my favorite band" and finally with the power of modern technology, I can bring this peak comedy to you, too.
It's the Hot Ham Trio!

PAIN. I only ever created static PNGs because APNG is a sicko format. That said, it looks like they should support GIF uploads, so I would gun for that if at all possible.

quick draw what you're wearing, 5 minutes max (it's 17 degrees outside please just let me die)
it's a nice white lady in a black outfit with tiny spaghetti legs. her shirt has thin white stripes. she has cloaked her weird body in a red sweater from target that definitely feels like it was made out of plastic

Some was focused on medical/clinical settings, but much of it was also fun, lighthearted, and whimsical at times
1. A popcorn bucket, movie tickets, and a film cannister
2. A laptop showing pharmacy tracking
3. A map and compass to show the way
4. A pill bottle
5. A pressure cuff
6. A glucose monitor
7. A vaccine bottle and syringe
8. An insulin pen

I spent my year developing a brand style and illustration library of over 130 compositions, so you can imagine this is just a fraction, and I'm terribly proud of the work I did in collab with several other designers
a grid of nine images in a colorful, vibrant style:
1. a black man holding playing cards; a chess board and checkers fall dynamically behind him
2. a cozy snowglobe with a wintery scene of a snowed-in house
3. a taco with all of its colorful fillings falling into it from above
4. a white elderly man holding a four-leaf clover in front of a rainbow, celebrating st. patricks day
5. a delicious slice of birthday cake and falling confetti
6. a clean breeze comes through a window and in front of a cleaning bottle and sponge
7. a cheerful scarecrow surrounded by pumpkins enjoys the fall leaves
8. two refreshing beverages; a low glass filled with green liquid, cucumbers, and ice -- and a blue soda can with citrus on the front
9. a bright blue popsicle and a hot fudge sundae

curing burnout with a very normal scenario ✨🖤
it's a digital art painting featuring the backseat of what is surely a very nice car. a very well-dressed lady with long, wavy hair has smudged her lipstick, or maybe blood, or maybe both all over herself and her lovely gentleman beau, who appears to be passed out and definitely not dead. vampires aren't real, so obviously he's fine.
