Release from the Patreon vault: "possum's night out". I was originally thinking of a possum up to shenanigans, but when it actually won I immediately got pulled to a possum doing mostly mundane things instead. Oops. #art #watercolor #possums

I want to go to the antique mall and buy weird-shaped objects for the purpose of drawing and painting still lifes, but also I don't really want to have to *store* a bunch of weird-shaped objects in my home. I would like to check things out of a tchotchke library and return them later, please.

All of Wendy's brushes are quite good and you should buy them. Extremely usable and great analogs to analog tools.

current “do you really want to draw this scene” list — if it doesn’t check any boxes, i make sure i know why it’s there (usually vibes)

Checklist written on a cute cat notecard from Loaf on Paper Brooklyn.

•Is it FUN? (to draw)
• Is it FUNNY?
• Does it move the plot
FORWARD?

bonus ...

• can you create FRICTION between text & image?

Taking a charcoal class and all I wanna do all day is get back to rubbing dirt on paper #art #charcoal

Charcoal value scale, a binder clip study, and some subtractive studies of simple objects (cylinder, sphere)

Charcoal sketch of a kettle. It's still messy but you can see lights reflected in the curved surface

Charcoal drawing of a (plastic) human skull. It's lit from the left and mostly but also behind and to the right. The artist was a coward and didn't try to render all the teeth

I would like to submit Jamie Wyeth’s 1980 painting “A Very Small Dog” for consideration.

An ornate white wicker pram rolls on thin metal hoop wheels through a sun dappled garden. Inside the pram, barely visible, is a tiny ferocious dog—likely a Pomeranian—with its gross little teeth bared. You can imagine the awful snarling and barking sounds it is making.

👏👏👏 We couldn’t agree more!

When you take a transit vehicle with strangers, there is an inherent trust you're giving to one another. That trust in each other is so essential to the health of our larger society and our democracy.

When we start to drive people away and send messages that that shared space is not a place to be, you're going to see our institutions and our societal structures start to dismantle. I believe in CTA not just for Chicago, but really for our country.

It's Knife Ghost season.

A pumpkin patch. In the distance, a faint image of a blue ghost surrounded by a halo of carving knives. The text reads: you're carving. The knife ghost waits. Because you're using a knife. Instead of a pumpkin carving kit. Always use a pumpkin carving kit, never a knife.

Beetlejuice scared the shit out of me as a kid because I was more afraid of the afterlife consisting of bureaucracy and ennui than I was of just not existing anymore.

I think they're worse on Sundays because they're trying to predate upon lonely elderly folks?

I'm in the weird ads zone in youtube and I hate it. They're always worse on Sunday mornings but it's even more off-putting and predatory right now. I got an *actual* jump-scare ad. And you can't block specific ads on yt, so I might just get that shit again. Sucks.

For your edification in regards to this painting: I was having a distressing dream when suddenly the dream cut out and my vision filled with this image and a loud announcement of the word "COWDINAL" and I immediately woke up. I assume it is a creature of deep protective forces

when I first brought Adonis home, he hid under the bed for a few days and I sat there with him singing so he would get used to my voice. now, just shy of 2 years later, any time I start singing I get these wonderfully sweet "before and after you hear Mama singing to you" moments
