James B Barrow

Happy New Year! With the beginning of a new year, I find it important to look back on what I created. So here is my #artvartist2025 showcasing some of the highlights of my art from last year. I am proud of what I created and look forward to creating more in 2026.

Part 2 of my charity art stream starts now! Let's finish this painting and continue fundraising for a great cause! www.twitch.tv/jamesbbarrow

It's time for another charity stream! Today we're once again fundraising for the wonderful charity, Samaritans! I'll be doing this today and Wednesday, so come and join the fun and spooky shenanigans! www.twitch.tv/jamesbbarrow

I'm excited to say that I have put new paintings up on my shop! Check them out: www.jamesbbarrow.com/shop (Sadly not available for EU customers due to new regulations)

Together, with my dear friend @missvadams.bsky.social, I am happy to be able to announce our new Twitch stream team: Zero Percent Gen AI. We are officially opening it up for applications! forms.gle/3Uereeaky3Zi... #genai #indiegamedev #twitch

This move by Twitch will be unsurprising to me, but it is immensely disappointing. The best we can do is have our say on this on this UserVoice: twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338... The longevity of this investor bait continues to astound me, and I will continue to wait for its collapse.

Felt like revisiting MSPaint and had a bunch of fun painting this on stream today! #art #MSPaint #digitalpainting

If you don't like what Twitch is planning regarding their upcoming AI midstream summary feature go and vote on this uservoice post. Super important to make your voice heard to Twitch about this!

#HKAM26 And that's another #HollowKnight art month completed! This may have been the best time I've had in an art month yet! Huge thanks to @silksongsketcher.bsky.social for running this event once again! Here's a compilation of all 31 pieces I created for the month. #art #Silksong

Painted this on stream today for my weekly art along community event. Based on the prompt: "Ethereal Transcendence". I'm quite pleased with it :)
