I had some stern advice for my younger self. 😅

Sharing a little about what inspired me to become an artist!

FEB's Studio Hangout & AMA vid is up! Learn what advice I'd give my younger self, plus catch up on all the new art & happenings you missed in FEB! Available as a captioned video with text highlights & a transcript at the public blog post: www.patreon.com/posts/studio... #studiohangouts #artistAMA

Studies from today's stream! How I hate drawing objects & still lifes, but it was good for me to get out of my comfort zone, build that visual vocab, & challenge myself. Watch the stream recording here: youtube.com/live/5tqm2Y-... #artstudies #artstreams #mysketchbook

Inking Lady of February’s pin design as an ink & gold piece. Part 1. #inkart #artnouveau #tradart #artvids youtube.com/shorts/9Cej_...

Hubby was finally able to land work outside of tech after reaching a total YEAR of unemployment after being laid off from IT work. We’re both breathing such a big sigh of relief. What a nightmare this has been! All my sympathies for friends in tech & entertainment right now. It’s brutal out there!

Dear artists: Afraid of death? It’s coming anyway. Afraid of failure? We all fail. A lot. Sometimes spectacularly. Afraid of these fascists? There are more of us cheering you on. Don’t stop creating. Not now. Make art. Piss them off. Create. With anger. With hope. Keep going.

WOO!🎉 It's now MUCH easier for me to offer digital downloads to you all! I've added all of my Coloring Packs & Premium Tutorials to my Patreon's shop. Current Patrons can access rewards at no extra cost, while others can pick up just the ones they want. www.patreon.com/posts/new-pa... #artistsupport

Signal bump! You can find all of my Art Nouveau coloring pages & tutorials here, too.

Head’s up, artist friends. The DragonCon Art Show is open for submissions! I’ve submitted an application after 6 long years away. Hope to see you guys there! I went a little insane and made a whole website to start submitting to con juries. My patrons got a little sneak peek of the live version. 😉

Hayao Miyazaki's short guide to watercolor painting -- we put this translation together a couple of years ago

Joan of Arc, 16" x 24" painted back in 2010. Definitely a turning point in my art and launch point of my career.

I don’t often share the book covers I work on, but I couldn’t resist showing this one since the author has revealed it now! ✨ The cover for I AM NOT JESSICA CHEN by Ann Liang is one of my absolute favourites that I worked on last year.

Hope everyone who celebrates had a good Thanksgiving! We gathered with the fam this year & @cien.bsky.social made fondant potatoes & pumpkin tres leches cake, which were both big hits. I provided moral support b/c I have not been allowed back in the kitchen since my infamous rum icing fireball.🤣

QRP with your skull art 💀 “Lady of March”, 10x20 in, watercolor & ink.
