"Cold blood and a sharp wit defies the meek."

Finally got round to watching Hunt For The Wilderpeople, after eons of procrastinating over doing so, and was well chuffed at how great it was! Gave me some much needed inspiration for some art as well, always a bonus. Can see what the Deadpool 2 guys saw in Julian Dennison that’s for sure, and of course Sam Neill was brilliant as well. Can’t be forgetting Taika Waititi either for directing it! Excellent job from all in my opinion :)

A teapot design features colorful flowers inside. The vibrant hues of pink, yellow, and green stand out, creating a striking contrast with the blue teapot.

River painted the background and I painted him into his picture.

I bought this coloring book from walmart with optical illusion pages in it and I find them really fun to study and try to create in my own image.

Another gouache painting with warm colors and an autumn theme

For the graphic novel, a draft, still working on it!

It's the same drawing but this time it's Dolly going solo.

A sideways version of my watercolor painting titled "Neutral Rose." If anyone knows how I can get these properly reoriented, please help. If you can image this one quarter turn to the left and on things like shirts, hats, and posters, try checking out this link to see all those things for real: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart

Took some doodle requests off Patreon and got some goodies!

*Irn-Bru vibes a go-go here* As the wee small hours approach, I finally get round to testing the Washi tape I picked up last Sunday...

Aliens seeking company and respite...

this pattern is for the spoonflower shibori challenge.

Man, high school stuff rescued from the portfolio under my bed. Amazing to see how little I've progressed over the last 40+ years....c'est la vie.

A variety of colorful and delicious looking pastries and cakes are displayed under a glass dome, resting on a wooden base. The arrangement includes an assortment of treats, such as cupcakes and slices of cake.

This painting is based on an empty street at noon, when the sun is right above us scorching heat. the street look empty looking for a shade. I chose to show the street at 2pm where the sun slightly leans towards down. The whole painting is done on parallel lines. If you notice closely the lines of building and the road meet parallelly.

"There is," said the marzipan pig, "such sweetness in me!" "The Marzipan Pig" by Russell Hoban is one of my favorite books. During the pandemic, @pgoedi from @communitybookstore read it and I drew it. Found it again and wanted to share it. This makes me want to draw live again. It is such a nerve racking thing and so fun!
