Every month my friends and I have been doing "lock in weekends" where we minimize our phone use (but most especially social media use) in favor of focusing on an art project. Between that and some everyday timers my brain feels so much better without all the noise

Between getting my lotr movies mixed up for a sec and not connecting the dots on what you were talking about I 100% thought your notifications were full of people telling you that viggo mortensen actually broke his toe in that one scene

finally finished painting this layout by @devinellekurtz.bsky.social

A simple rectangular drawing of an anthropomorphic unicorn kneeling with her hands covering her neck defensively. Behind her are floral designs, big yellow and red flowers and green leaves

Hallucinogen 😵‍💫

A couple weeks ago @sennamatic.bsky.social and I did collage portraits of each other :> It was loads of fun!

Can you spot the pair of pants?

#characterdesign #portrait #collage

A scan of a paper collage of an individual's face. The paper is a wide variety of red, tan, brown, blue, and Green. Some of the paper scraps are textured, but most are a solid paper with crayon drawing overtop. The image resembles a person in their mid-twenties with short red hair, big blue glasses, and a green hoodie.

My buddy @finnimate.bsky.social and I did paper collage portraits of each other, here's the one I made!

Oscar's interview 🎙️🖼️

Thank you for all the love on that Redwall piece btw! I really gotta do another one soon. Between finishing Mossflower and Mattimeo I'm itching to draw some more mice with swords >:]

Intended to be Matthias actually! But I'd really love to draw Martin sometime! I read Mossflower for the first time last year and LOVED it

Meet Nyomi! She's the protagonist of the story I've been slowly chipping away at called "Til Death Do We Sk8". Nyomi's dream is to win the Spaceskating championship but a rough and poorly timed break up throws a whole new wrench into her endeavors

It's messed up!!!! When I was a kid I actually made a Rudolph sequel (called Rudolph 2 obviously lol) where everything is the same as Rudolph the first except he doesn't get bullied

Pieced together illustrations of people you'd find at an airport. There's a guy holding 2 cups and a bag of food, with a backpack on and a jacket looped through one of the straps of the backpack. Another guy who looks very tired (poor guy missed his flight), and another with a mouthful of food. There's also two girls, one is sitting at a charging station with headphones on, and the other is facing away from the viewer, holding her phone. At the bottom right there's a text bubble saying "Has my luck run out?!"

Illustration of my hand to the left, paired with illustrations of some people on their phones while they wait in line.

Lightbox sketch dump part 2!

Unsurprising to everyone I think my favorite drawing moments at Lightbox were when I got to just sit at the airports and draw people

If it makes you feel better I don't think this is exclusive to the bay area. Detroit and Youngstown have the same advertisements. Not sure how successful those donation campaigns are but I doubt it's motivated by the average wealth of the area. I get your frustration though 🧡

Drawing of the artist drawing what they see from their seat on an airplane. Image includes the artist's sketchbook in their lap, pencil in hand, and the seats in front and beside them.

Stylized illustrations of a Sable Antelope, Sea Lion, and Bison from the dioramas at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles

First pic is just a small portion of what I was doing on the plane to LA

Second pic is of some animals from the amazing dioramas at LA's Natural History Museum 🧡 Excited to share more from my trip :]

I think @realgdt.bsky.social 's Frankenstein changed my life

(Not pictured: all the other half finished sketches of the creature. I'd love to bring them to life digitally in the future though!)

Stop the Hydro Park Data Center We need to be loud about out opposition to the data center! There is so much not to like: the impact to the water, air, and land, the health effects to surrounding communities, the tax money, the war ...

Hey if you guys can spare literally three minutes can you click to send a letter demanding they don't build a data center by my house? It would mean so much to me 💕
actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

Ye! Or maybe we could just do what we can to stop it being built in the first place that way the environment, people's power and water bills, and the local community isn't treated as nothing more than collateral damage for a well-intentioned yet wildly unrealistic and honestly tone deaf wet dream!

I picked up my guitar again after awhile. I'm not very good but at least I'm having fun

#sketchbook #illustration

It's been awhile since I've made one of these! If I'm honest I've been sitting on an overwhelming amount of sketchbook snippets in need of compiling

Krang propaganda poster I made for Style on the Rise vol2 :]

I love how the SotR projects are structured like real life fashion magazines but with in-world advertisements, interviews, and posters. So I thought it would be fun to make something based on how things might be post-movie

#riseofthetmnt

Hell ye!!! I need to make the switch too! Thank you for the motivator and reminder :]
