My gal Robin! She's your local resident unconventional inventor/engineer. Big ideas. Little planning 😂 From my personal project Clouded Judgement :)

Close ups of the bike model :D All done using Blender and CSP It was so fun to do all the texture detail! I am very painterly in 2D, so it was a blast to incorporate it into the mapping of it all! PS: I am sorry to all the 3D Artists that have to work from my concepts, you deserve a raise 🤣

Now We Ride! - new original available in my shop. It will also be my gay rodeo release in August. I’ll have a booth at the Santa Fe Gay Rodeo

Aaaand it's out! Had the absolute pleasure of helping out Half Giant with BG's in the latest Brawl Stars trailer for Bolt! :) They made this look SO COOL in the final thing!!

Every couple of days my partner does a frantic run right before bed to set up the washing machine timer for the next morning. Can't miss out on those precious daylight hours! I always say that she reminds me of those racoons that wash their food on water streams! This one is for you babe ! 🦝👕

It's now Spring, the sun is out and I feel fuzzy and warm ✨️🌈 I'm working on being more decisive with my painting in digital. I always noodle indefinitely, but approaching as if I were painting traditionally really helps me :)) Also I'm deep in the trenches of Witch Hat Atelier, can you tell?

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

This will be an 100% independent production that relies on crowdfunding for its budget. Please give us a follow at our pre-launch page here to receive updates leading to our March 13th launch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

I love getting to do silly perspective angles haha. From Cult of The Lamb's Woolhaven launch trailer Half Giant

Had such a great time teaming up with Half Giant on this trailer for Cult of The Lamb's Woolhaven launch. The art style is SO PRETTY!!!! Been wanting to be part of one of these for ages! :))

Earth Must Die is GOING LIVE AT 6PM TODAY, DON'T MISS OUT!! ✨️

Half Giant's latest Cult Of The Lamb trailer is ouuuut!! :D It was an absolute pleasure to work on BG's for this piece!! Go check it out!!! youtu.be/7FoRUNf8xns?...

Cannot wait for this!!!

What a year it has been! Been part of exciting projects, got my first course out of the door, delved deeper into Blender and got to spend more time in my lil personal project! Hoping for more time for feel good personal art in 2026! #Artvsartist2025 :))

Gigi might be the scary one, but drawing this dude and his 4 arms in perspective still haunts my dreams! From Half Giant's Brawlstars Gigi trailer :))

My favourite BG from the Brawlstars Gigi trailer with Half Giany ! My toxic trait is adding ellipses to everything I design, so I manifested the mother of all layouts: a) round room, b) furniture facing different planes c) fish eye d) low angle e) CHARACTER WITH 10000 arms??!! It was super fun tho!

Some exciting news! I recently started as Art Director at Blue Zoo Animation Studio :) To say that the last few months have been chaotic would be an understatement, but, throughout it all, I have been incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such an amazing art community.

I am so excited to be launching my course "Background Design For Animation, Comics and Games" in official partnership with Clip Studio Paint and Graphixly - Find out more here: lnkd.in/eHMaE_m5

Tiny painting! This is the piece I painted during the Warrior Painters and Concept 101 meet up last week in Greenwich park! It was a lovely afternoon and the sights were gorgeous. I am honestly surprised at myself that I managed to yap at everyone AND make a painting?? Wow

Jim has been on my mind a lot lately. Watch treasure planet if you haven't already it's so good.. #fanart #treasureplanet #disney

The absolute joy that is making art just for the sake of it 🏖

Beach please 🏖🌊

Quick painting while waiting for my laundry :)

Painting in Madrid during the hottest day of the year is the sort of thing that puts the Warrior in Warrior Painters ! We had a brilliant time enjoying the morning shade at Retiro, thanks for coming everyone!! 😎☀️

Join us for a new #Pleinairpainting meetup that will be happening in Madrid, Spain on 17th August! We'll be meeting at Jardines de Cecilio Rodriguez at 10AM (plans subjected to weather on the day) See you all there!

Just Ead and Sabran being in love.. Characters from the Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon #conceptart #characterdesigner #bookfanart

I haven't played Genshin in a looong while, but the latest trailer is pulling me back, oh no.... Alice looks gorgeous and I'm completly obsessed with her hat
