When people ask me, "How do you get off that thing?" First I say, "Don't call her a 'thing'," and then I tell them, "It depends on the situation." #pennyfarthing #steampunk #book #kidlit www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0r_...

Less than a week to go!!

I family of thieves I created for Dragonrealm, a card game. Mom and dad are only concerned with treasure, while the kid is more interested in self-expression. Because kids are smarter than we are. #goblin #fantasy #art #illustration

Guess where I learned my first sea shanty? Working on a tall ship. OMG. There is no experience like hauling in unison and singing a work song with a couple of dozen other people. Also you have not known fear until you've been on a tall ship in a storm, with the ocean trying to kill you.

From Maurice's Valises: Museum Mouse. I always loved how on The Regular Show Rigby (raccoon), when running, would switch from anthropomorphic (upright on two legs), to all four legs. #mouse #cute #illustration #art #digitalpainting

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

A little tutorial on what I call "linear palettes." Getting a handle on color is one of the biggest challenges for most artists. This is a way to simplify color and create harmonies without losing control. Mostly a learning tool, but something I apply in my work too. #tutorial #art #unicorn

I would give my eye teeth to be able to send my dearly departed grandmother this message: “Artie Shaw. I get it now.” #jazz #bigband #artieshaw

“But man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he's most assured—his glassy essence—like an angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven as makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,would all themselves laugh mortal.” #tarot #thefool

Demeter, painted by these human hands. When you do something enough that you become fluent (doesn’t matter if you’re “good”, mediocre, rough around the edges) you’re transported to a magical place called “here.” There are many doors to here. Only requirement: YOU have to be the one doing it.

A little something I did for the tabletop game Sudds & Malone. #suddsandmalone #detective #noir #mice #anthropomorphic

A little tutorial about painting SURFACES—what matters is what's on in the INSIDE... and also the OUTSIDE, so, insert your own metaphor there. #art #tutorial #painting #digitalpainting #sheepicorn

When I say, "paint the light, not the thing," I mean it LITERALLY. Just for a change, stop thinking about shadows and start thinking about light. Come at this sucker from the other direction (a.k.a. how it really works) #tutorial #art #painting #illustration #unicorn

Thanks to everyone who has supported our Kickstarter so far. We just passed halfway! It means so much. Also KS gave us "Projects We Love", which is their "way of highlighting brilliant examples of creativity."! www.tinyurl.com/hudsonmudworth #pigs #hudsonmudworth #anthropomorphic #steampunk #books

Looks like Janice forgot to put sugar in the lemonade again. From my book, Hudson Mudworth Thinks of Something, an illustrated, steampunky mystery-adventure. Kickstarter end date rapidly approacheth. I hope you can support the project. www.tinyurl.com/hudsonmudworth #lemonade #pig #kidlitart

One of my very early concepts for the Hudson book (Angie lifting up Hannah). Had the honor of it seeing it tattooed on someone's leg... The Kickstarter is in its final weeks. I hope you can support the project. www.tinyurl.com/hudsonmudworth #pig #raccoon #tattoo #hudsonmudworth

Just another reminder that artmaking is and always has been available to everyone. Also, if you work hard, with a little luck you, too, can have a little sheep car to drive. #fairytale #art #illustration #donkeyskin #painting #magical #sheep

Hudson Mudworth's parents tried hard. Ok, one of them tried... a little. All right, let's be honest: they didn't try much at all. But that's just one of the things that made Hudson the amazing little pig he turned out to be. www.tinyurl.com/hudsonmudworth #pigs #steampunk #art #kidlit

Another one from Sudds & Malone.

Hudson Mudworth/me as a kid in the winter. If I didn't have a little public library down the street, I would have had nothing. I love working on toned paper. It helps me organize my values, which affects how I think when I paint. (black-gray-white). More Hudson: hudsonmudworth.com

The Seamstress!! This was one of the most rewarding projects I ever worked on, with an absolutely lovely and creative client. This character makes clothing and stuff out of scraps and rags. I super enjoyed designing the steampunky steam iron. #seamstress #sewing #quilting #steampunk #vintage
