Things went horribly wrong with her teeth, but otherwise i think i captured the essence of marlo thomas' character ann marie.

Spotted this cute backpack couple around town. Inspired by all the creative ways the Dutch go to to travel with their best friends.

This is my first attempt at traditional egg tempera painting. The panel is a Masonite board from Michaels, but I need to use true gesso because the egg tempera will not adhere to acrylic gesso. Some of my favorite artists used egg tempera. Andrew Wyeth, Robert Vickrey, and Colin Fraser are all masters of this ancient and archival medium. I have been self studying this technique for months and I was very excited to start experiencing the medium. Egg tempera is like layering stained glass on top of stained glass. the painter can expect a luminous glow to take shape as the colors blend visually through the layers of paint - assisted by the chalk of the true gesso. Egg tempera has been described as the closest painting technique to drawing, hence my draw to this medium.

I always start packing by packing my books. For larger ones I love using twine. Moving soon. So tiring! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvpt_F0udl8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

More stickers! These mushroom flavoured ones were created by @katrinblackwater :-)

I was trying out different color palettes to see which one I preferred. The top palettes are based off the mimic octopus and the blue-ringed octopus, respectively. The rest aren't inspired by anything, I just thought the colors looked nice.

Trying something new collage-wise… namely stickers in lieu of washi tape! Said stickers were designed by the talented Yujico :-)

Coffee makes me feel alive.

16”x20” watercolor, acrylic, and colored pencil on paper.

Rest in Power, Paul Reubens. I watched a lot of Pee-wee Herman as a young kid. As an adult, Paul Reuben's collection of erotic gay art made him interesting to me but misunderstood by many people. Any way you take him, he was funny and made many people laugh. I painted a scene from Pee-wee's Big Adventure, a classic Pee-wee movie from 1985. I love the California scenery and am happy with how the landscape turned out.

Think of a warm desert. The rolling hills echo the cacti calls. And the earth sees all.

MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME ~ 'SERENITY'

I painted this when going through a very depressing and hurtful era causing me to feel very helpless and vulnerable. This was quit a while ago.

Favorite words. Gloaming. Dusk. For some reason, makes me think of the opening to Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Done in Illustrator & Photoshop--based on a pencil sketch.
