New year, new hyperfixation 🤸 #coe33 #fanart

Despite 2025’s various agonies, I achieved both of my resolutions: 1. Run a mile every week (if i don’t go on a 5+ mile hike) 2. Do an oil painting for every month

Been sketching while Lhet finishes Expedition 33. Hot damn what a game! My faves are the depressed man and his weird foot-obsessed dog.

Some scribbles from our aquarium visit today 🐠 #sketch

Had a great day~

It’s that day again.

Putting on a giant animal costume and acting a fool on the dance floor is my guiltiest pleasure 😔 #fursuitfriday 🪡 @poeproductions.bsky.social 🕺 @fetchnw.com

A sketch inspired by the massive western red cedars I saw on a hike last month 🌲 #sketch #gouache #art

Cut off for things to arrive in time before Christmas is the 17th, which we are rapidly approaching. From now until the 22nd I will be shipping orders out daily. ko-fi.com/mulchmouth/s...

Sketch of my werewolf character Aguta. She ate too much of winter’s darkness and now shes throwing it up all over the carpet! No, bad werewolf! (so sad the glitter watercolor doesnt show up on camera) #sketch #art #gouache

I love Pike Place Market. You think it’d be a tourist trap but supriiiise, it’s a quality year round farmers market beloved by the locals!

Took a break from art for awhile, and i feel great ✨ Turns out when you rest without mentally berating yourself for “being lazy”, you actually recover?! Crazy!

These two are the glue holding my life together.

HIATUS: Chats with the Void will be going on break to allow me to recharge and focus on other creative endeavors!

Introduce yourself with five animals you've seen in the wild: - Tufted Puffin - Orca - Tanuki - Moray eel - Peregrin Falcon

What do you mean life is a continual journey of reflection and self discovery? Can’t i just figure this bitch out already?

Hiking season isn’t over, so long as you don’t mind rain 🌧️

Him circular.

Sketching OCs to keep the seasonal depression at bay. This is Flask, a glass cat that eats malevolent spirits and stores them inside for later~ #sketch

More little gouache scribbles, this time of my avatar Skrif. #sketch #art #gouache

I think a hyperfixation on a long running Japanese media franchise could fix me… at least, like, temporarily.

Me. The one who I’ve always been. Even if you didn’t notice it. Even if you don't want to see it. (Full story in comments!) #artwork #comic #wolfart #relatable #darkart #mentalhealth #relatable #emotional

Crazy how i can read 10 nice comments and then the 1 shitty one just ruins my day.

I was built for a world that no longer exists.

Went to see Good Boy in theaters. Really enjoyed it! Got some genuine scares out of me, and Indy the dog’s performance was so captivating. Loved after credits thank you where the director explained how the film was made and why Indy’s acting was so good 💜

Every october my friends turn their big beautiful home into an art gallery where the art that is displayed and performed is brought by all their friends and guests. It’s my favorite party of the year, every year 🎨💕 My art this year was my monthly oil paintings. Fun to see them in a gallery setting!

Gouache on toned paper is so fun! Sketch page of my monster girl Whisper. #sketch #art #gouache

We visited Nappa valley over the weekend for a family wedding. Beautiful wedding and scenery!

Life hack: Keep little bits of origami paper in your wallet so when you’re waiting around in a lobby or restaurant, instead of scrolling your phone, you can fold up a little guy to leave behind and make someones day slightly brighter~

Went camping in the San Juans with a group of friends. I love visiting the islands so much~

Just imagine trying to tell this dog he’s not allowed on a sofa… That’s his natural habitat!

May the right fire burn within me.

Went backpacking with @straander.bsky.social and @lhet.bsky.social over the weekend, and we lucked out with an alpine lake all to ourselves. 🏕️

Not gunna lie, working on my comic has felt like pulling teeth for the last two years. I’ve gotten tragically good at forcing myself to make things i don’t want to.

Got a health screening done the other day and my bloodwork and stats were, according to the nurse, “really fantastic”. Turns out that “i think im in the best shape ive ever been” feeling has the numbers to back it up 🎉

Do you ever think about how the relationship between dogs and humans is older than civilization, and get emotional?

Useful tip for navigating life: Most people do not actually hate you. They might not understand or relate to you, but most other human beings are perfectly happy to let you do you. It's only a few of them who ever feel the need or desire to scapegoat you to avoid acknowledging their own problems.

May you get what you give. #art #halftone

Playing around with some new digital brushes. I forgot how fun it was to just draw without an end result in mine. Just scribble around see what shapes come out.

Spent the weekend in Detroit to see my brother, and had a hell of a time 🤘💕

People have been asking for prints of this over on insta, so I made a new version and its up in the shop now. www.jmarshallsmith.com/shop

Sorry to miss Furvana this year, especially with how many cool people are going. My journeys are taking me elsewhere, though. Hope everyone has fun!

Hiked my painting gear to a waterfall over the weekend.This hobby is so much fun~ #pleinair

The end isn’t the part that matters most.

short about my hottest take

Explored another old fort over the weekend. These places are so cool~

Guess who got four vaccines and his blood drawn at the vet’s office today. Such a brave guy, only pee’d on me once!
