Working on a piece I hope to complete this week 🤞🏼 #painting #illustration #mpILLO

Husband made borscht the other day and felt like being a lil food photographer 📸

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

A friend reminded me of an idea I was working on earlier this year. Unsure if it might culminate or finalize when I have more time. (I’m feeling very #wip lately.)

Looking at the traditional works I’ve done lately and I want to challenge myself to /not/ use green or primarily cool colors. 🤭

Another painting in progress. 👀🌳 I finished the piece I was working on earlier this month and I need to take proper documentation of the piece.

I gotta look through my photos and videos and reminisce now too! So glad I was there with you @magnoliamaw.bsky.social and helping me get to the show ❤️

Another #wip Been creating more traditional work lately!

Long time no see Been working on a painting based on a digital piece I did during the summer. #wip

I’ve been inspired by the nature in the backyard lately. 🐇🌳

That is so true

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Snapshots from working from (new) home today

This track has entered heavy rotation for me lately #JapaneseBreakfast

Note to self

The best part of my day so far is witnessing SIDECAR DOG

Today! I'll be at Silverwood Park tonight from 6-8PM for the opening reception of 'Light Over Boundary' Can't make the opening or get overwhelmed by crowds (tbh same) - No sweat! The exhibition is up until 4/30 & we have an artist talk on Sat. 3/22, 10AM-12PM. See you there! 💙

Cooldown drawing based on @tomidoron.bsky.social’s style. Things have been busy here but hoping it’ll settle down by next month. #mpILLO #illustration

In the midst of moving things, and came across my bin of old sketchbooks. I snapped some pics of things I wanna revisit. (The latest illustration I posted was a result of this)

Revisited a sketch of a creature from years ago based on a trip to Berlin (primarily the Fernsehturm Berlin) #illustration #mpILLO #Berlin

I remade my Arowana! Very pleased with the improved, more arowana-shaped sculpt (new left, old right)! #art #fish #fishart #arowana #sculpture #wallart #handmade

“Frightened by King Boo” Been posting older art to my tumblr as I’m making my way back to posting work there, and figured I should share this one here too! #fanart #mpILLO #Nintendo #Luigi #LuigisMansion #KingBoo

Self portrait from today 🕊️

Ok this was from another sketching moment recently, and I remembered it as I was closing up the iPad here. I don’t share enough lil’ doodles these days. Take this lil’ guy with you tonight— may he grant a silly, technicolor shimmer upon your dreams ✨

Winding down from the day with digital sketching/experimenting— playing with color/lighting #mpILLO

A lil autorretrato based on a photo of me during a super cold moment in December last year. #mpILLO

“The Assistant” Finished this up tonight, based on true events! #mpILLO

MSP folks, here are the details on the name change clinic coming up at Mac.

#wip inspired by true events.

Here’s a photo of the Mississippi River I took the other day. 🌅

While spending time with friends last night, I learned that tiny graters exist for spices (nutmeg in this case.)

The CDC is busy purging data en-masse from their website, including crucial trans health research and youth harm demographics. Don’t let our fiction and theory be next.

I tend to not open up much online these days, but… I am looking, I am reading, my ears are open. Current events are (overall) Not Good (we know this, I’m not saying anything new, but just want you to know I’m paying attention, and it’s rough!) I hope to be a support in the ways I can.

Gracias a Conejo Malo for introducing me to Chuwi

A magical fellow I completed work on this past weekend but didn’t post anywhere yet. #mp-ILLO

Comprehensive sketch of Mindy of the Magus Sisters (FFX design version) I never played much of that Final Fantasy, but I always enjoy pouring over character designs.

Really excited to be turning this into a print! Been touching it up to make it extra warm and sunny. XD If you're interested in seeing my other prints/stickers, you can find it all on ko-fi.com/frenchteapot! This one will be going there too when it's ready. #artshare #illustration #cat

I’ve been taking agessss (for me) to get through my current sketchbook. So I flipped through to motivate me to keep going with it, and this spread made me happy and inspired! It was all stream of conscious, but it fell together in such a nice way! 🌞✨ I love when that happens!

MPLS please come to Draw League on Thursday. It's free! No drawing skill required!

A thread of some of the art I've made in the last 5 years to kinda get to know me and my work. Not a lot of recent stuff because I've been burnt out since covid and a lot of life changes but I'm getting back into making art more! 1/6 Starting with some environments I made for my bday project

Decided to do some fan art from Hieronymus Bosch’s “Garden of Earthly Delights” The paintings densely packed with wild tableaus and weird li’l guys.

Updated my print ship today! I’ve got prints, cards and stickers available. inprnt.com/gallery/mp_illo/

Also hi hello it’s me! If you know me, you might not know I just got my ears pierced recently! I plan to segue to using this platform as a more art/professional angle… in time.
