Ok, I think i am done with jambalaya. Inspired by the Jambalaya Festival in Gonzales, LA, and cooking in cast iron over flames.

You cannot give me this because once I have a family of pet raccoons, I will not need human people anymore.

Yoooo!

Found someone sleeping in the grass

More paint on the paper

Premier in 5 min!

It's amazing how a night's sleep clears things up and helps you find the next steps

Hosting a premier tonight on Youtube, talking about watercolors and a watercolor project book I recommend! Join me at 6PM CT youtu.be/3p-Fypnpvyc?...

I think this means I didn't spend enough time playing with fire as a kid.

I dunno. It's in weird ugly stage RN so I think it's time to break for the day. Big ol pot of jambalaya over the fire.

Ok I gotta step away from this, I'm making a mess and it needs to dry out

/me holds breath

Oh my gosh painting fire is so nerve-wracking.

Jury's still out

Making a mess or making magic?

Toasty. #grickledoodle #frog #winter #cold #cartoon #art #drawing #funny

A wip that's been a wip for too long. Finally painting my jambalaya food illustration

Hey yall! It's Sunday, and that means chores. If you're looking for some background company, I have a Daiso art supply haul that makes fun background noise! youtu.be/V9quHbqrdug?...

Hello my friends! Today I have a new painting featured on Every Day Original. I'm super excited as I've been a fan for years. This piece is called "This Cosmic Business", I'm really happy with how it came out. Please hop on over if you have the chance. everydayoriginal.com/product/this...

These Daiso watercolors from my recent Daiso haul look so aesthetic, but the question remains How do they handle?

Ok, maybe I spend all year thinking about the Renaissance Festival. I just really like gentle fantasy and tiny people, and the Ren Faire allows me to indulge.

Suggesting unhinged posting as a means of attracting an audience to an ADHD person is well intentioned but as someone who has tried that It's like the advice to 'be myself' Yall don't want me at my no pants, surrounded by art supplies, a rat in my hair (RIP Basil ;;_;;), doomscrolling social media

Hey disabled friends! Ever since the pandemic, my ability to do conventions and outdoor shows has really plummeted. I have Sjogren's and ADHD. Do yall have any advice on tents/setup/self care that can be used at shows (as an artist and vendor) that wont scare customers off?

Got two tube based watercolor reviews underway today- one for Amazon Basics watercolors, and one for Daiso watercolors, and came up with a bunch of thumbnail sketches for illustrations.

New blog post is up on my Patreon, and set to public! I talk about losing Basil (TW: pet death, but not graphic), the Louisiana Book Festival, and share some art. www.patreon.com/posts/octobe...

I only go to the Louisiana Renaissance Festival one time per season, but I look forward to it all year long.

I'm super excited to eat some delicious beignets at the #beignetfest this Saturday.

Doing art supply reviews is just an excuse to share my art supply special interest with others and find community, bc lord knows normies will talk Harry Potter for three hours but won't talk about art supplies for 3 min. (Ps Redwall is better and Dear America was top tier)

It's Daiso haul day! Stationery! Art supplies! Weird things! youtu.be/V9quHbqrdug?...

I just got my Faire acceptance! I would love some inspiration from other small makers on how to set up my shop, would you mind sharing your links?

Recommend creators I should be watching on Nebula please! I like historical fashion and culture, science, and arts. I already added Knowing Better and Lindsay Ellis.

I've been thinking on this for a while, and instead of a holiday season sale, Bonedust Press will instead dedicate 10% of all direct sales to the San Diego Food Bank. Times are tough and since I have to do the marketing song and dance anyway, I'd like to accomplish a little good with it. #booksky

Unwound by recording a marker review

Yesterday we were able to hit two pop up events in New Orleans- one hosted at Miette and full of really cute vendors, and one at St Coffee that had both cute vendors and cool vendors!

Ok, it may not be October or even Halloween, but I inked and stretched this piece in September and then October punched me in the face. Since watercolor paper spoils, I decided to go ahead and paint it, so that I could share it next year when it's timely.

I used to sell a lot of stickers in person at shows, but I stopped making and bringing them because with stickers on the table, people weren't buying prints or books, and I'd lose money even though I sold all day long.

I love teaching zine classes because it's an excuse to pull out a few awesome examples and introduce new people to self and small publishing.

A toast to art teachers who push back against the use of Gen AI, who teach basic drawing skills, who foster a love of all arts, who encourage students to do, even if it looks kinda bad RN

The rotations are all over the place but I got some paint on the paper today before and after teaching

A little update

Just a heads up- if you're supporting my work on Patreon (patreon.com/nattosoup), I just shared all 35 Little Artist illustrations in a cleaned up and ready to print format! #originalart #coloring

A friend pointed out to me that stuff made with Gen AI looks like a scam, and now I can't unsee it. It really does. From local festivals to ads for businesses to picture books, if it uses Gen AI, it looks like a grift.
