hi

I don't expect many of you to be familiar with my Instagram page, but the algorithms are going nuts over the lack of posting I've been doing. I'm really glad to get this out for them! I hope you enjoy! This took me far longer than it should have, but school's been tough.

Smile! Painted with gelly gouache, Posca paint pens and pencil crayons. There is a tiny bit of white gel pen as well...

Done with watercolor and graphite.

It’s okay to be different. You don’t have to be like everyone else in order to fit in or be accepted. In fact, being different is what makes you unique and special. Embrace your quirks and differences, because that’s what makes you who you are. Being different can also be a good thing. It can make you stand out from the crowd and make you more memorable. When it comes to your career, being different can help you stand out and get ahead. And when it comes to relationships, having unique interests or hobbies can attract like-minded people who share your passions. So don’t worry if you don’t quite fit into the mold of society's expectations – there is nothing wrong with being different! Just own it, embrace it and enjoy all the benefits that come with it!

An abstract watercolor as this week's visual cleanser. Breathe in. Breathe out. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdOhUzOJxs0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Woman on the street // Ink on paper // 2022

SteveO with his arms up. An old ballpoint pen sketch from several years ago. Red Bic pen layer converted to black and white.

Saw this hippo on the train and was in awe. So I drew her.

I keep coming back to this Vice headline I saw and took a screenshot of this time last week, which inspired the title of this piece. Seems like a relevant metaphor to me (and others I know) for so many reasons right now! Thankfully nothing too traumatic in my case...

digital drawing lol this one took me 2 hours and a lot of coffee

Taking a break from photo editing to get creative in other areas... Over the Beltane weekend, my girlfriend and I watched the British dub of Urusei Yatsura over on YouTube. Yes, I assure anyone not aware, such a thing exists and my word is it hilarious (but not for the easily offended! Oh and while, I'm here, may the 4th be with you :-)

A pastel look at people looking at crows from their strange little houses that are seemingly steam powered.

IDK, this drawing was inspired by this, so partial credit to whomever drew this^^: https://www.pngitem.com/middle/iboJJJm_zerotwo-zero-two-darlinginthefranxx-darling-in-zero-two/

I bought a small record while thrift shopping and decided to finally do something with it.

Story of the Day

Easter eggs with a modern twist. Custom-made goose eggs, painted with ink, will be a great decoration for a holiday home or a unique gift. Decor

This was all I could think of

"Mythical Creature" (2022) Another mythical animal created in Procreate. Repurposed a palm tree from an earlier piece. It is overworked and I grew tired tinkering with it. Might be in the book I have been encouraged to produce.

50x40 cm Charcoal

The preliminary Design for another one of the Vasile Children. He is able to control soundwaves, deadening or amplifying the sounds around him.

This is another illustration sketch copied from Dana Fox’s Jungle series. Done in watercolor
