I truly do not have the attention span to run a social media account while I’m traveling. Too many things to look at!

Floral pen sketches 🌸

It’s crazy that after years of planning I’m finally making my expat goal come true. I’ll be spending the year sketching, doing illustration work, and learning 3D sculpting ✨

Another artist by the name of James C. Mulligan at Dragon Con has sadly started using AI in his work and got away with selling people images he didn’t even fully produce himself. IG @ mulliganjimmy — he ended up selling the whole weekend. Not all genAI tells are even circled in this piece.

Day II of Dragon Con has begun ✨

All set up at Dragon Con! 🌸🌼 Booth A17 (Comic and Pop artist alley~)

Laundry break and sketch time — on a road trip across the US 🚗

GenCon was about as overwhelming as I expected, had fun and learned to play a little Magic!

Gen Con is here!! Find me at table 45 in the art show! ✨ Lots of new items and participating in my first ever stamp rally!

In providence for the weekend and I have no idea what to do in this city. Excited to see the old though!

These people are Nazis. I know that's well-understood by many people at this point, but not enough. They are Nazis and we need to keep saying it.

Was working on a landscape piece yesterday and everything was flowing pretty well… is this the start of me becoming a background painter? 🤔

Sometimes you just gotta make a cucumber sandwich on a baguette and call it dinner. Tea time for dinner.

Been thinking a lot about light and color recently so I made a little video covering the fundamentals #artfundamental #lightandcolor youtu.be/qfseG-2G7ms

Guess I'm going to GenCon this year

Tiefling in Flight

The weather is just starting to move from spring rain to summer and I NEED more outside time.

Highly recommend this anime for any artists out there ✍️ youtu.be/wkRR2VUsWfU?...

Market Prep day 😵‍💫

Tiefling in Flight

Had the sad realization that I've got too many simultaneous personal projects going on and have to start putting things on a self 😭
