I'm here til 10pm for Harmonic Flow at Strangeways FXBG!

Ahh I've been busy sorting, folding and packing for Harmonic Flow tomorrow at Strangeways FXBG! Here's the new shirt design, Cosmic Terrene (featuring the Space Toad). It has glitter, and comes in unisex (XS-4X) and ladies (S-3X).

Haha y'all... 300ish shirts are done and I picked em up. I was expecting half (one design). Time to sort. But just enough to pack for Harmonic Flow.

I can't call this one Fairy Ring but that's still the idea. The waterbrush here is alright. It's probably great for quick layout on the road, and it does restrict the amount of water I can lay down (this watercolor journal is not a fan of big washes), but I prefer natural brush bristles.

If you're around Fredericksburg, VA, you can find me at Harmonic Flow this Saturday. I'll have free stickers for fans, if you mention you follow/found me on social media/patreon/etc. www.fredericksburgfreepress.com/2025/10/07/n...

The Mushroom Witch in a style I mostly try to use with the SPAAAACE Witch! cast. The Space Toad transcends the boundaries of the cosmos and occupies the time and place of its choosing, always. -ink and watercolors on watercolor rag.

Hey y'all, I'm gonna have a theme this week leading up to my event on Saturday, Harmonic Flow in Fredericksburg, VA! Fairy Ring, 2021, pencils on strathmore.

So the bonkers thing I'm dealing with at the moment, is on a restock of Drachtoberfest shirts, the same base (BC3001CVC Heather Mustard) I got before appears slightly darker now in the swatch book, but not much, but much darker on the digital mockup. Same with the 3001 Mustard; looks super dark.

It's prime autumn season, y'all! I did this little painting in my watercolor journal recently for reasons.

I conflated The Fugitive and The Running Man to my partner, and just thought the internets would appreciate my disconnect and find it amusing.

I'll be at the Maryland Rennfest this Saturday in a yellow Drachtoberfest shirt with these Mead stickers! Just ask for a beer dragon (and maybe remind me to apply sunscreen).

Well y'all, it's September and that means Oktoberfest season has begun. So it's about time to show odd the Drachtoberfest cast, starting with Stout (1/15).

Support your favorite small bussineses while they are still around, sadly many are going to close doors due to recent events. A lot of people are suddenly finding out they have a debt overnight and theres not much we can do.

...oh dear, I am in this picture.

And now...I am going to sketch more kaiju for this impending deadline.

My friend @kanthara.bsky.social and I are doing an unscripted collaborative comic about our stumbling into peri/menopause! We're digitally passing the same page back and forth, responding to each other's drawings and text. First installment is up for my patrons: www.patreon.com/posts/124833...

Word.

It's so exciting! I'm still over here like O_O I'll be constructing a poll on how to handle stretch goals.

Y'all, we launch today! www.backerkit.com/c/collection... Dragons of many flavors and smells, brought to you by @alstroarts.com, Pinfeathers Pin Shoppe, and me!

Boy do I feel this in my bones.

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

We launch Dragon's Delightful Delicacies Monday, and I did a drawing of the special dragons collective. What should I do with it?

Should I be working on other things now? Yes. But Dragons Delightful Delicacies is calling.... www.backerkit.com/c/collection...

I ran a joke pass on the script for this one, as I do. Did I succeed in not having Gadget sound like Veronica? Heck no Process video: vm.tiktok.com/ZMBFod7NM/

Closer mock-up images of the starting pin dragons: Chrysanthemum, Iris, and Tiger Lily. This project will be launching soon, you see the whole campaign and link to follow it on this post: bsky.app/profile/alst...

Howdy folks, I'm an illustrator and pin designer who's current focus is beer dragons!

It's 5 minutes. Nothing big. Just, y'know, 25% extra episode to watch. It's worth it! There's an Assault 'Mech in the episode! It's "Five Minutes Isn't TOO Bad..." episode 35 of Bite-Sized #Battletech EX: 2nd Strike! Now up on YouTube for you to watch, at your leisure! youtu.be/ONwXmKqDwUU

Followup

One of the highlights of my professional career is the time I had to explain to a Producer what the term "grundle" meant

if you see this, post your purple #art 💜 (Probably one of my most well known SPACE pieces, the Galactic Owl.)

Working on a casual piece of the Green Beer Dragon for my watercolor journal. Green ink (custom mix) in a Pilot Kakuno. One week to the cross collab launch "Dragon's Delightful Delicacies" with @alstroarts.com and Pinfeathers Pin Shoppe!

ai art is like being a runner and youre excited for a marathon and youre training and then someone comes up and says 'why not use this new 'car tech' it can drive you to the finish line and youll have run the marathon without that pesky running'. then theyre confused when you say no and run instead

Howdy and appreciate the share! I'm a traditional illustrator who loves themes that involve beasties, SPACE, and booze, and yes, I have a cross-collab enamel pin campaign launching soon. (Green Beer Dragon!) I'm terribad at social media but great at responding to comments and questions.

Artists! Showcase your artstyles! 🎨 @zinzalabim.bsky.social @alstroarts.com @kythera.bsky.social @faust.gay

Maybe I should have called it "cronch," but uh... yeah guys, what's up with all my major deadlines being THIS MONTH. *sweats*

Seriously.

Howdy y'all! I tend to go very head's down when I'm working on projects. But this is upcoming as the latest Drachtoberfest addition teaser.

I get very heads down when I have a lot of work, and yes, this is coming!

This is H'lite, your typical one-shot throw away character I absolutely fell in love with. DnD 5e Wild Magic Barbarian. (still looking for the right dice for her.)

THIS. Let storytellers tell their story. Even if it doesn't go how you expect. Even if the character's reaction makes you angry. Be patient. Sure, discuss, speculate, analyse, but keep in mind that different creators think differently, and if stories went exactly how you expect, they'd be boring.

Reposting this guide from twitter because I COOKED here. (and still refer to this at work even now!)

I can draw whatever I want. Doesn't always mean it's good, but it's still drawing!

New Year's Resolutions! I use them as year-long goals. 👟 do at least two 5ks (signed up for one in March) 🏃‍♀️ hit that 10min mile on the tread (for a 35min run) These were also 2024's goals, then I had foot surgery in February and recovery is a bitch. XD ❣️ lose that last 20lb (it's past time)

Her: 35, 40, tops. Me: I'm 50. Elderly gent in front: NO! Me: Wanna see my driver's license? Her: Honey, how you stay so young looking? Me: Well, my nana always said kindness keeps you young. (I point to my silver hairs.) Me: Whereas these're from when I'm a bitch. They ROARED with laughter. :D 2/2

Some of these came from very tiny pieces and scaling up is rough. (I do a decent amount of ATCs.)

Froher heilig abend, Merry Christmas, and happy new year! #pastelgoth #creepycuteart #pastelgothaesthetic #creepycuteaesthetic #creepycute #pingame #pincollector #spookyart
