Earlier this month I got this drafting table for a bargain basement deal- this week I think I’ve finally finished tuning it up and cleaning it, just gotta figure out how to get it into the house. If you’re curious, I have posts covering the restoration on my Patreon for free Patreon.com/asidesart

On Patreon - since I’m in NDA hell at the moment I don’t have anything to share art wise, but I do have a new drafting table to talk about! This post is free for everyone so share it around: www.patreon.com/posts/150408...

I just acquired this vintage Mayline 1950’s Desk-O-Matic II. Needs a little love but it does function! Just needs to be lubricated so the parts aren’t sticking, and the blotter needs replacing. Anybody have advice? #draftingtable #vintagefurntiture

YES MINNESOTA GENERAL STRIKE LETS GO

I spent years trying to find a good photoshop brush that mimicked pencil enough to where my brain would be okay with it. Tried loads of different ones. The one that worked? Me taking a basic ass round brush, setting it to 20% hardness, then throwing a grainy texture over that :-/

Hi #portfolioday! I’m Andrew; I tend to be anywhere someone needs a helping hand in art. Past clients have been the US Mint, Hulu, Disney, Netflix, Hard Rock, Coca Cola, and others. Always available for commercial work.

Oh hey! This got revealed! I got to help Django out with the cover and type! I actually do a lot of type in my studio day job, so it was fun to take on a freelance project too.

Now that Christmas is past - here’s a gift my daughter and I made for my mom. She did the underpainting in acrylic, I went back and made the portrait in acrylic ink and gouache, and then she came back in and doodled on top of it. 11x14, gouache, acrylic, colored pencil. #portrait #gouache #acrylic

Ahhh I still like these. I need to carve out more time to screw around like this, it just always ends up low on my priorities. Zbrush and…blender 2 something at the time. 2.7? #paleoart #dinosaurs

T-Minus 8 Days! My Muppet Christmas Character Countdown begins today, starting with Ebenezer Scrooge (and Belle).🎄

Me: “boy I’ll have some time at the end of year with my freelance projects out of the way to work on some personal stuff!” Also me: “we need to go to this place, this needs to be repaired, we need to get this done, so and so wants to hang out…”

Final call! If you got questions send them over otherwise we’ll see you tonight at 9pm EST!

Tomorrow at 8 pm CST/9 EST! If you have questions for @scottbrundage.bsky.social and can’t make it live drop them here or DM me

TONIGHT AT 8 EST!

More traditional media experimentation! Watercolor, ink, color pencil, and a little bit of digital touchup.

I’m pretty sure I brought this up like a month or two ago, but seeing a bunch of sculptors I respected work wise tripping over themselves to explain why they’re using AI is just fucking embarrassing. Do you even hear yourself? Leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

TODAY ON EVERYDAY ORIGINAL - a study I did a couple months ago for a planned larger painting for David Cronenberg’s The Fly. This was a movie that I knew before I saw it because I saw the makeup/fx show at Universal Studios Orlando Everydayoriginal.com #gouache #coloredpencil #thefly

Got a new gouache palette box I’ve been loving, cracked open a toned sketchbook, and have been messing with limited palettes. I’m going to gradually add more color as I go. This is the last week of my sale and after that the store closes! Code SALE at checkout gives you 20% off Asidesart.com/store

Recently got a new palette for my gouache paint, love how this one keeps the paint workable between sessions because of the airtight lid. Just a reminder, there’s still a sale going on at my shop, 20% until Dec 1 with code SALE at checkout! www.asidesart.com/store

Steve is joining us on Tuesday!

Guess if you ever re subbed to Disney you got a golden reason to stop again www.ign.com/articles/dis...

Slowly filling out throat scales for a bit. Scales are just tedious work, but it’s easy tedious work. As a reminder; my sale is on! 20% off with code SALE. www.asidesart.com/store

Been picking away at this for a little now in between projects. I think the face might need to be revisited but it’s certainly shaping up. Stegosaurs are weird. #dinosaurs #zbrush

Heyyyy I’m having a sale until December 1st! Planning to close my shop for a bit afterwards, so if you use ‘SALE’ at checkout you can get 20% off until then! #originalart www.asidesart.com/store

That Coca Cola ad is fucking terrible. They employed 100 people and generated 70,000 hours of video and that garbage was the best they could do.

Man, so good.

Little warmup tonight before sitting down to work. I like the smaller head characterization going on, much more fresh and immediate. Still working out a non conte solution for newsprint, this was done with a fat cretacolor crayon.

You know, it’s bad to listen to any think tank in general, but it’s especially bad to listen to one like Third Way that consistently gets its logic wrong and then goes “oh gee, a Mamdani win might be bad because he believes in stuff”

Watching Adobe Max for work, the amount of AI shit they’re cramming into their programs makes me hope the whole company implodes the minute the bubble pops.

Oh shit, this edmontosaurus news is unbelievably cool www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

More mucking about with gouache - did a small piece of THE FLY, one of my favorite horror movies. I’ve had doodles for a larger piece for sometime now, I just need to set aside time to work on it. #thefly #cronenberg #gouache

Listen, I like Discord for chatting with friends. I absolutely detest it as an alternative to a forum, or at least a subreddit. “Check out the discord” is like a spell uttered to drive me away

So good!

Oh neat - my friend @whompa.bsky.social tapped me to help out in this, I ended up doing some layout designs to figure out how the space should look like. Neat to see it become reality! lbbonline.com/news/in-spit...

Reposting my hooded crow from this time last year because I love his little fall vibes. (Ref photo by Akbar Nemati) 🦢🐡 #art #birds

The more that AI crap gets shoved in my face, the more I think Will Smith was right to be massively prejudiced against robots

Honestly just a massive, massive loss for the community. I’m really just at a loss for words.

Oh man. Seeing that Drew Struzan died hits hard. Dude was a big influence on me

Deactivated my DeviantArt account this past weekend, as I genuinely forgot it existed until someone tried to reset my password and I got an email notification about it. I was going to add some more security to it and then forget about it again, but 2FA is a paid feature? The hell? So fuck that, bye

I’ve been watching @justindonaldson.bsky.social paint recently on his videos, and noticed how much he uses mop brushes and decided to give them a go. Holy cow I did not expect these to be game changers. I never used mop brushes before and they’re great for block ins and glazes.

My painting for @hingeartists.bsky.social Ominous V show is now available! “Pumpkin Patch” is 6.75” wide, 6” high for pure gouache and colored pencil muscle. If you’d like to acquire it please head to Hinge Art Collective’s website! Hinge-artist-collective.com

It’s extremely disappointing to see sculptors I like resort to using AI to make their work move.

Valley view.

Excited to share the medal design I did for the U.S. Mint's Semiquincentennial Program that comes out next year! I designed the companion medal for the Walking Liberty quarter and I'm thrilled with how the sculpt came out. I can't wait to see it in person! All images are copyright of the U.S. Mint

Started this sculpt like a week ago, currently retopologizing it before I sculpt further details I am honestly surprised how thick #stegosaurus is. Just a slab of meat. #blender #zbrush #dinosaurs

My cover artwork for May The Dead Keep You by @jillbaguchinsky.bsky.social has been revealed! It's one of my favourite illustrations from this year 🖤

Bit late to posting this, but my latest for www.everydayoriginal.com is up for purchase today! A study for a larger planned painting, acrylic and gouache. #octopus #acrylic #gouache #originalartwork

There’s a lot of things I didn’t like about Jurassic World Rebirth one of the lesser annoyances was the weird lowballing of prices/numbers that started in Fallen Kingdom - am I dumb, or does 72 million to make a dinosaur feel cheap when a fighter jet is like three times that cost?
