the last 5 years: Too burned out to draw fan art. In fact, I don't think I can draw at all anymore unless it's a project I refuse to give up on. suddenly on a random Tuesday in the middle of the night:

Here's a li'l comic I drew while listening to @chucktingle.bsky.social 's Camp Damascus. Been one of my most popular arts since he shared it on tumblr ✨

All my life I've felt the urge to draw. Lately I've been wondering where it went. If I pick up a pencil and work on a project I can still do it. I still go into that art zen state while I'm drawing. But the urge to sketch my characters? To paint a sunset? To draw a weird beastie? It's gone. 😔

The Madrid Atrium—The biggest painting I never finished. After several months of painting tile grout I threw some lighting effects on there and called it done. Also the only painting I ever created a 3D model base for. The aftermath (painting tile grout for several months) put me off of it for good.

I don't even want to be paying attention to politics right now, I want to be drinking craft beer and playing video games. Regrettably I have been banned from drinking alcohol for health reasons and have never owned a game system. 🥲

Nicht geschockt sein. Nicht traurig sein. Nicht sprachlos sein. Sondern laut. Widerständig. Klar. Antifaschistisch. Geht auf die Straßen, wenn es Demos gibt oder organisiert welche. Organisiert euch!

"But how am I supposed to find time for my art when I'm working full time?" Time theft. You commit time theft. You're already getting screwed by your employers. They're not paying you enough for the time you give them. Do it on the clock. Even if it's just a few words on a scrap of paper.

I spent 2019 doing 300+ vector illustrations of historical artifacts for a game app and used the money to buy the old RV that I lived in for the next 2 years. Work that literally kept a roof over my head. I'd love to find more work like this.

FMA is top tier comfort media to me and I re-watch it once a year, usually while my life is going to 💩 somehow. Share some fan art from your go-to comfort media 👇

realizing I haven't done many paintings that weren't fan art in the last 10 years. Even 50% of these are fan art of my own story projects, but that means I get to call them ✨Concept Art ✨
