A little something I found in the sketch pile.

Artists, quote with something silly!

Just one more thing.

*taps sign*

Just to amuse myself, instead of typing out a search on Wikipedia, sometimes I'll just hop through links from the last article I looked at til I find what I'm looking for. No categories, broad topics, or using the back button either. Last search I did went from Hello Kitty to Fritz Lang.

Casually thought I'd show off some of the letterings I've done over the years, some commissions, some personal, all hand drawn.

Quote how you paint dark skin ✨ (That girl in the translucent dress is one of my all time favorites)

Doing a bit of archival rummaging and... well I just had to share this old thingy.

Artist! Quote with your night art! ✨️

hiss at your local terf✨

kind of throwing me out that this art style is from (squints) 1947 ??

#DTIYS challenge with the original piece by @thevintagepal.bsky.social 💜🎃

An oldie, but still a pretty-goodie.

UwU

Been rather introspective lately, and I found myself thinking about an incident from my younger days. I got reacquainted with a childhood friend after he had graduated from med school, and of course he asked what I do for a living. Illustrator and graphic designer, I proudly answered. [Cont'd]

Another old bit of railroad art, fully repainted and re-detailed. Pinups are fun and all but this... this is where it's really at for me.

One more monster girlie to wrap up this little cycle.

And now... a wolf girlie! (I'm gonna have to pivot to get some form of traffic around here aren't I?)

Not letting the season go by without at least one variation on the bride of Frankenstein.

Capping off another maddening day with a section of what I call my zen garden painting. I started this study of a 1940s street scene back in '17, and I've been nipping at it ever since.

I just don't get the appeal of the whole true crime thing. Why on earth would you want to watch horrible things happen to innocent people with a big heaping dose of "It could happen to YOU" factor?

Don't be shy, no job is too big or too small! (My landlord will thank you... he's quite nice, actually)

No New Pictures, Where Are You Mentally?

The twins go on a date.

And now we bring back our old, OLD title sequence schtick. I originally made this one 5 years ago, and I felt like completely re-editing it, seeing how the technique has vastly improved. I still have a long list of movies and shows to time-warp like this, so consider this a reboot pilot.

Bleedin' Christ, there's another AI "cartoon me" trend making the rounds, and this time I won't be quite as forgiving.

If you see this, post a vampire ✨️🦇

We now give you our brand new little sweetheart of swing, that little red-headed ball of fire, Red Hot Riding Hood! ( I've had this one on the back burner for so long it ain't even funny) #pinup #pinupgirl #pinupart #art

I always get a kick out of finding vintage art swipes out in the wild. Rather an odd pose for hawking model train track.

Bringing this back on the occasion of the new John Candy documentary. Yep, real 3D here! #SCTV

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

Quote with your pink art 🌸

One of the greatest things ever.

Now who's the oatmeal-blooded marketing genius that instituted that shatteringly daft "Are you still watching?" bullshit on Youtube??

Minerva and her dealer. (Can't believe I didn't post this one here)

So I hit the old drawing board, and I'm faced with a choice- something commercial, something sexy, or something utterly ridiculous. I chose the latter, needless to say.

"Draw what you love" says the time-honored tenet... unfortunately for me, the things I love seem to be catastrophically niche (And heaven knows that niche wants nothing to do with me).

Anatomy studies are a must, but god damn, there's only so many disembodied hands a fellow can draw in one sitting.

This week's commission promo. Instagram appears to have been messing about with the DMs again, and I can't shake the sneaky suspicion that I've lost business because of that. Bluesky though appears to work properly. Link to the haunt - cihstudios.com

what color defines your portfolio? Pretty much a given that 98% of my work comes with a yellowed ancient paper base.

Ah yes, that iron-clad rule of internet artists- The prouder you are of a piece, the less engagement it gets.

As Bob Ross would say - This is our bravery test.
