Howdy Bluesky 👋 I'm an artist that likes to paint and draw with traditional media. Being outside is my happy place and my hope is to share that peace and quiet calm. Here's my most recent #watercolor #landscape I painted, channeling my inner Tony Couch for a class.

Hey friends, I made a couple pixel art twitch badges today for our #SaveTheVaquita fundraiser stream coming up this Saturday. Just wanted to share them and let folks know I'll be drawing vaquita and doing some cursed challenges while we make them. Hope to see you there this weekend!

A demo by Andy Evansen, who originally showed me the "value" of a value study. #watercolor #traditionalart #landscape #art #painting

Happy first day of Autumn! Er, yesterday. I went outside and picked up a leaf and painted it. Highly recommended. 🍁🍂 #watercolor #humanmade #traditionalart #autumn #art

Currently writing and painting a story for ‘Twilight Zone’ for IDW - it has been fun to draw humans again for a change. Hah also a lot of my story decisions are rooted in light and color- so it has been a fun challenge to take one of those tools away.

Oh my gosh how cute! 🥰

I intended to only do a value study, but I kept going. Ope. Cape Lookout lighthouse in #alcoholmarker with a tiny touch of #ink and white on bristol postcard #traditionalart #capelookout #landscape

if you learn a skill or start a new hobby, it makes you a better person, not worse. nobody ever gets into calligraphy and immediately starts screeching that typefaces are useless and only the quill shall prosper. there is no "woodworking psychosis" nobody thinks they're dating their kettlebell

Ah yes, Cary NC, that tracks 😂

Ugh this guy's work is so good! Apologies for being sparse lately, family stuff came up but I am getting back on track with more painting!

I don’t like to make this about me, but it certainly doesn’t escape me that I’m heading to LA shortly to probably lose a Hugo for a story containing all my love for #DollyParton specifically. I guess always secretly hoped somehow she’d read it. But all my feelings are there.

'Feelings'

The marker studies have really informed my painting process. I feel like I've leveled up a little! Monochrome (Payne's Grey) #watercolor #painting on 6x6 block #capelookout #nc #obx #landscape

Struggling a little with a death in the family, but still keeping up with #studies. 🌞 #alcoholmarker in my #sketchbook #art #marker #drawing

"Orion" - collage on heavyweight paper A long overdue collage commission. Thanks to the commissioner for being so patient. I had so much making this and it felt good to play on my own court for a bit.
