Hey there folks, I'm back! I got burned out so I took some time off from the internet. During that time my brother got married, I turned 39 and I learned how to pickle mini potatoes. What an eventful July!

OK, I'm not above admitting that I was wrong. Switching the salami for a cucumber looks better and, hopefully, it won't be mistaken for a penis by every fucking AI censorship algorithm anymore. I present you The Food Thief version 2.

I think I've finished this one! Gonna give it some time to cool down and then give it one final pass, but I can't think of anything to fix or change right now. What do you think? Do you like it?

I think I've found my color scheme! What do you think?

I like the idea of classical style paintings with weird creatures instead of normal subjects.

Some more color explorations. Here we have The Leopard, The Snow Leopard, and The Spotted Banana!

I'm trying to find a good color scheme. Right now I have evil gremlin from gremlins and albino.

I'm starting to get afraid of how used I've become to use .psb instead of .psd for all of my works. Everything is getting too big now! Huge files galore!

Trying out a lighting scheme and some early color exploration. All in all I think this coming along just fine. I honestly can't understand anyone who would want to outsource this experience to AI. It's like building a robot to eat your pie while you sit on the cuck chair.

C'mon everybody, let's go bet, I mean, predict some markets! What will the pope have for lunch? When will the next missile hit a school? What's in that dumpster, rotting food or a dead baby? It's all good clean fun! And profitable! I bet, I mean, predict that you'll love it.

I think my brain might be reaching its storage limit. I need to delete some stuff and open up some space.

Have we had any new actually useful technology lately? I'm always afraid of being nostalgic or just angry, but I feel like I haven't seen anything worthwhile in quite a while. I miss being impressed by technology, everything is just boring lately.

The more I think about AI the more I see parallels to the concept of an idiot god. A agglomeration of information and knowledge without an inkling of understanding. Just a sea of lies and truths regurgitate by a stupid "entity" incapable of differentiate between them.

I think this guy would look cool as a puppet. If only I had the knowledge to do that. Welp, at least I can fake it in 2D

Heyo! Come see me at #LBX2026 I mean, there will be more than just me there, and you don't even have to come see me at all if you don't want to, but hey! I'll be there! Drop by why don't cha. #lightboxexpo

I need to trim my beard... Sometimes life is so unfair... Can't my beard just stop growing? So unfair...

I'm not a fan of driving.

Here's a peek at what I'm working on right now. I haven't been the most productive lately, but I feel like this one has potential. I'm painting my own version of a Kappa! Trying hard not to mess it up!

Can we catch a break? Cryptocurrency, NFTs, covid, AI, prediction market... It has just been bad news after bad news. It's getting harder and harder to have any hope for the future. I'm tired. What's next?

AI is pseudo science. Just like the new age advocates didn't understand shit about quantum mechanics but declared themselves experts and tried to shoehorn it in everything, techbros believe to have unraveled the mysteries of the mind and recreated it. Bullshit.

There's no intelligence in AI. AI doesn't learn, doesn't understand, doesn't perceive, doesn't intend. Someday there might be actual artificial intelligence, but we are still eons away from it. All we have right now is human arrogance and a text prediction software that requires hundreds...

Thank you all for the kind words and support. Here's some more weirdness for you!

It's hard to know if people actually like when I paint these weird things that I find interesting. I could be way more popular painting popular things, but I don't like painting them. I like new stuff, things I haven't seen before. I like to paint weird stuff.

Feeling like a meat bag

I love the way light interacts with different materials. I mean, that's the basic of painting since it's the basic of seeing. No light, no image. But beyond that, light is so incredible. I'm glad we evolved to enjoy it!

Heyo, I've been away for a while. It's hard to keep up with social media sometimes. It's a lot of effort for practically no return at all. But it's nice when you hear that you've inspired someone or just gave them something fun to look at for a while.

A Kaiju starts to question its reality.

Every now and then you paint something silly that just resonates with your soul. This is one of my favorites stupid paintings ever. I love Its blank stare.

Last Saturday I went to a concert! After about 20 years since the last time. And I proved once and for all that you can take an old punk out of the mosh pit, but you can't take away the pain from all of my joints and bones. I'm old!

Here's something silly I've found on my unfinished files. Lots of my artists friends have quit working with art. And I get it, society hardly ever gives you the chance to do what you love. So far I've been lucky, but I miss seeing my friends' art.

If you're an artist as well I have a quick question for you, for how long have you been doing art? Me, I've been doing it for about 21 years, as something that I'm serious about, but I've been drawing since as long as I can remember.

I need to get back to painting!

Here's a very old painting. I like the idea of giant wurms, probably because of all the cool wurm cards in MTG back when I was a kid. In summary, wurms are cool!

Random book suggestion, The True Believer by Eric Hoffer. Incredible book.

Trapped again in that weird place where I got no painting going on and no idea for one either. I hate not knowing what to paint.

Is that my salami? Finished! The Food Thief. I'm happy with this one!

If you invite a vampire into your house, but move out right away after it, what happens? Can it still get inside that house? What about your new house? What if you are renting? Do vampires care if your house gets repossessed? So many questions.

What brush did you use? Is a question every digital painter have asked and been asked at some point in their life. It's a normal question, any beginner wonder if they're using the wrong tool for the job. But it's only through practice that you learn that what matters is not the tool, but how you...

I don't like hot yoga. It sounds too narcissistic. You know it wanted to call itself sexy yoga, but it got afraid that it would attract some weirdoes. If you have to call yourself hot yoga, then you probably are not all that hot... yoga.

I'm feeling empty right now. I've just finished my freelance work for now and I should be relaxing, but not having something that I need to do is making me feel empty. I might be a little burnt out.

I got nothing to say today. Just one of those empty head days I suppose. I hope you are having a good day!

I love this lighting. I think I really got this one right. Sometimes things just flow the right way, I wouldn't exchange this feeling for anything in the world.

Painting different textures is always lots of fun. The feeling of making something that you can feel in your fingertips just painting. I'm addicted to it.

I love aquatic lifeforms, but I would never trade my terrestrial life. Unlike those traitors, the whales. Terrestrial life forever, baby!

I always thought that the tentacle on the up right corner looks like it's waving bye-bye to the nasty little guy that kinda looks like it's wearing a flesh backpack like a kid going to school. Bye, have fun!

Happy new year of the Horse!!!

Sometimes you just need to paint something dumb for yourself! I did this one in about 2 hours, I think, a long time ago. You can see the process on my YouTube or Gumroad, just search for bonekrishna.

I still love the overall feeling of this painting. It was a major one for me. I learned a lot painting it. Still much left to be learned though!

Now for this piece I decided to really take my time, so I worked on it for about 6 months. I was in no rush and this was a personal project, so I enjoyed for as long as I could. Good times.

Rocky the rock troll. This was a huge one in terms of feeling like I was in control of the painting, and it only took me more than a decade to get there.
