Drawings from last nights drink and draw session. Sketch times ranges from 5-15 minutes for each. #drawing #portraitartist

Recently finished up a painting of @verdantlens.bsky.social Hand-painted, acrylic on canvas #portraitartist

Well...this will be what I watch on repeat for the foreseeable future.

The Spinspider Today's card art that I did for Ascension game! These tiny guys seem useful. I want one. #rodart

Dog owners...please tell me I'm not the only one with a dog who has a nearly supernatural ability to know when the most inconveient time to need to go is? The sheer force of will this small dog has for insisting that she go out, again, the second I get on a business call or start to focus is epic.

I've got 4 Steam keys left if anyone wants one. It's for @shortlegstudio.com 's new game demo Plush Ranger's Message me if you want to check it out. #steamgame #indiegames

Oh hey look... It's @rigante.bsky.social #art #portrait

Working on some practice portraits before starting my formal series. #portraits #art #painting

Want to support a Seattle author? Here's a way.

I have a very assorted selection of clients ranging from children's media to "adult" media. Honestly I love having such diversity in the projects I work on. These two recent pieces were for an author that might fall into the latter category ;) They were fun. Thanks @kerrykilpatrick.bsky.social

Working on the first sketches for my upcoming portrait series. Special thanks to @rigante.bsky.social for being willing to be my first model. #art #portraits #portraitartist

In the meantime, I would be pretty happy with an art agent. Any takers?

Latest painting done. #art #birds #acrylic

As an artist who has attended every session I can vouch for this being a good crowd in a safe and low stress space. Feel also welcome to message me if you have questions.

Just can't get enough of these.

Just a quick break.. #art #painting #acrylic

hey Seattle and outlying areas! on 6/11 at 7 PM I’ll be at Charlie’s Queer Books in Fremont, in conversation with HE Edgmon about their new book We Can Never Leave. come on by!

Latest painting completed

My card game is officially in the final stages. Aside from tweaking some packaging details, it's ready to go...now the issue. What do I do with it? Advice? Suggestions? #indiegames #cardgames

Things that live rent free in my head... an example:

At first glance I thought that this read "if I was still an author...." and genuinely felt a moment of anguish. Relieved to be wrong. I'm a big KJ Charles fan.

Working on an intergalactic hauler for the intro comic to Plush Rangers. #indiegameart #indiedev #indiegame #wip #procreate

Newest painting in progress. Stage 1 complete #art #hummingbird #painting

Working on some #conceptart with @shortlegstudio.com #indiegames #conceptart #noai #Illustration #art

Something I love about #conceptart is how ideas get translated. The first is the loose concept. The second is one of a creatures that made it into the #demo. You can see how @ladylime.bsky.social translated them into the game's style and aesthetic. #indiegame #conceptart @shortlegstudio.com

The many iterations of concept art for a game. Here are some screenshots of some recent Ranger Station areas we've been working on. @shortlegstudio.com is also sharing Dev logs for anyone who is curious about what methods are being used. #indiegames #conceptart #parkranger #noai #art

Hey, do me a favor. Go Wishlist this game on Steam! It's cute, fun, and .... I'm helping with the art!

Who doesn't love a villainous duckie!?! Steam wishlist details and dev updates available over at @shortlegstudio.com

Recent portrait study of an artist I follow on social media. I think he's only on Instagram (www.instagram.com/tofigart/ ) but we can forgive him for that.

Finally some good news, the Dungeons & Daddies tees are finally ready! I’ll be selling them Saturday May 3rd at the Spring Fling Block Party, rain or shine. The event takes place from 12-7 in White Center (16th between Roxbury and 100th St). I’ll be posting the shirts on my store on Sunday the 4th!

My new book is out today! “Are you a friend of Dorothy?” written by Kyle Lukoff, published by Simon and Schuster. This book is about the ways queer people in history have used secret codes and slang to find each other in dark times. #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitillustrator #lgbtqbooks

Abandoned car Painting study

Taking advantage of artists desperate for work by creating job postings that are driven by interaction farming. Whatever marketing team member told you this was a good call should probably see themselves out.

We are working hard on two new projects right now. Here's a brief glimpse at one of the characters in Plush Rangers: Tangelo. Tangelo is a tortoise that dashes into their enemies. They sometimes wander off but will come back in due time. #gamedev #indiegamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3593330

And done. *Lays on the floor in tired artist* #birds #art

Today's work in progress.

Do all artists have difficulty with time sense and show up to work way too early...or is it just me?

Some screen shots of my card art being promo'd This was such a a fun game to work on Game name: Apprentice ICG Company: Inclusive Imagination LLC

I'm in the final stages of creating my card game. Now comes the hard part. Funding and distribution. In the past I've used Kickstarter with mixed success. I find some traditional social media approaches to be either exhausting or unproductive...often both. Advice is encouraged! Any ideas?

Latest bird #painting is finished. I'm in the "I don't like it stage" many artists face when they first finish something but hopefully I'll come around to it.

Real talk for artists: What is your stance on licensing or commercial use language? And when do you use "work for hire" language? I feel comfortable with how I've been handling these topics, but a few recent clients have brought up some past experiences that left me with questions. #artists

Talking with a friend of mine yesterday and he asked which starter Pokémon I liked... I didn't have an answer. I don't think I like most of the starters.
