Last of my little plein airs from the car! I’ve always loved driving through this wind farm on the 10 but this was my first time trying to draw it. Blue hour is also one of my fav times of day and I want to try to capture it some more. #art #illustration #digitalart #pleinair #backgroundpainting

Woah! Somehow I neglected to share these sketches from 2021. I played Penny briefly in a dnd game DM’d by @casandwichbologna.bsky.social She’s a mix between Steve Irwin & Coyote Peterson. Had a lot of fun practicing an Aussie accent for her. #dungeonsanddragons #druid #dragonborn #art #ttrpg

Got to see Coyote Peterson at The Living Desert today! Did some sketches of him + the animals. I had a big Brave Wilderness kick in college, so this was super fun. #sketchbook #doodles #art

Jury duty consumed my whole day AND I’m goin back tomorrow, hourlies are still WIP 😔 (they never told me I can’t draw in the courtroom but like… I’m like 99% sure I’m not supposed to draw in the courtroom)

Home stretch for freelance today, 2 pieces to paint before I can draw & post my hourlies from yesterday 🙌 I say home stretch as if this doesn’t reset every week when new work comes in but like. It feels like a fresh start anyway lol.

After day 3 of BJJ I now only feel like I got hit by a pickup truck and not a semi-truck so I think that’s improvement!

WOW friendly reminder to take it easy when going from Not Working Out At All to Very Intense Workout For Extended Period Of Time - jiu jitsu’d too close to the sun & woke up violently ill from a migraine 🙃 all is ok now but I’ll be more careful next time

I realized Hourly Comics Day is on a weekend this year & got excited I’d finally be drawing myself doing something OTHER than work - while totally forgetting I usually freelance on the weekends lol. 90% chance it’ll be another freelance-themed one (at least it’s a different gig each time)

I decided it was too hard to write/draw combat without knowing anything about combat, so I looked into local martial arts places! (Plus I needed a fun workout routine, anyway) Took a free trial of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and nearly passed out but it was a ton of fun! I start classes next week :)

Quick draw what you’re wearing, 5 mins max I kinda half-dressed to go into the office, got a high wind warning, and dressed to work from home instead. Also our heater’s out so I’m cozying up with sweaters and blankets

Oops 😔 See I always TELL my students to shrimp-check their posture and stretch every hour. Do I listen to myself? Absolutely not, I’m in the middle of my drawing, how can I possibly get up? Also why does my back hurt?

I’m getting to the tricky, vulnerable parts of my script for The Cost of Living and trying to remember not to pull my punches. Seeing it in script format is like “uh oh other people are gonna see this too huh…?” But I LIKE that TCOL feels like I’m bleeding onto the paper & I want to preserve that.

IG changing the layout from square to vertical grid has given me a moment of lucidity - posting on here feels so much nicer, so I’m gonna do my best to make BlueSky my top priority for art & text posts, and YouTube my priority for short or long form vids. I’d also like to stream in the near future 👀

Dentist office fishies 🐠 Trying out a fountain pen my brother gifted me. I haven’t quite gotten the hang of fountain pens yet, but they’re fun. This ink is cool, it’s green but gets red the heavier the line is. (yes the 4 should be a 5, this is simply the Curse of January) #art #sketchbook
