Come check out a panel of cuties at #lightboxexpo as we talk about the unconventional ways each of us found our way in our careers, and how we remained flexible and adaptable enough to pivot when things got rough. We'll be around Sunday at 1:15 pm in room 107!

Ah, yes, Rib, the love of my life, only he doesn't know it yet ❤️❤️❤️

Damn dawg, almost sounds like the AI industry shouldn't have built itself on theft, then!

I'm really into whatever this guy is. I imagine it to be so massive, that it could blot out the sky.

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

My dear friend Billie has an awesome campaign going right now, go ahead and support this lovely queer K!ckstarter!!

This was insane to witness but I love how our community banded together to remove this garbage from our place of work. Awesome job to the staff for handling this professionally! T'was my best DragonCon yet, thanks everyone for coming out and supporting real artists!!

Another little paint pen sketch of an oramge 🍊

Testing out some acrylic paint markers and drew a lil Eevee!!

Sporecrown Princess. Finished 2 days before GenCon! (I still need to post that I am at GenCon, Art Show Table 19, in the 700 row! Tomorrow's the last day, so come check out the new Princess of the Sporecrown court!

Birch Queen, walker of Autumn, herald of Winter. Had a lot of fun with this one!

One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE pieces that I've commissioned!! My sign off message in my email sent to Andrew was "Please cook". And boy, did he. This was a joy to art direct from start to finish <3

Always embrace what YOU want to do as an artist. A client could choose never to work with you, drop you, a studio shuts down, etc. At the end of the day, there's only you and your art. Get what YOU want out of it, first and foremost, pursue it with strong intention, everything else often follows.

KEZ KILLED THIS ONE OMG

i almost never like my art on release but.... I'm really proud of this one!!!!! Hope everyone enjoys Lorwyn, it's one of my favorite planes. I got to work on it from concept stage to final art ^^ <3

It was one of the greatest privileges of my life to visit Iran in 2014. It’s the place I wish I could return to most. Stunning natural beauty, deep reverence for artists, and people of profound kindness, wisdom, and warmth. They don’t deserve USrael’s barbaric violence. They never have.

At #Momocon Artist Alley 2222! Two days left at the show!

The completed set of four covers + a cat. #comics #jimhenson

'Dragonfall' - the full piece! I had a ton of fun doing this one, inspired by whalefalls: an event in nature where when a whale dies in the ocean, an entire ecosystem is born of its corpse.

A dear friend of mine is going through tough times, if you have the means, every little bit helps!

Preview of a piece I just finished for the #solara group show here in ATL! I had a ton of fun harnessing watercolor, what a fun medium <3

Congratulations to my dear @miaaraujo.bsky.social for launching her stunning book, 'Afia in the Land of Wonders'! My dearest, we're so proud of you!! Get it everywhere, at your library or local book store!!

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Snow day in Atlanta! Me and my neighbors built a snowman; he's apparently a Druid named Tobias Light-oof and he is perfect 😂

[Paper dragon room] I want to draw more dragons this year, so the first painting of the year has to start off strong

Another Pantone piece! Purple and gold is such an awesome combination. Also love finding the colours in white hair, when it works it's such fun. #traditionalart #pantonechallenge

If you see this, post fungi! I have so much fungi art, but haven't posted this baby yet!

Life of a witch

Every time I'm like "oh my GOD, amazing artist x is following me!?" I have to stop and realize that I'm literally an Art Director. Of course they're following me. I feel like I'll never get used to it 🤣🤣

I co-host an art podcast on Youtube called Painted in Color, with the lovely @miaaraujo.bsky.social and Eric Wilkerson. This week's episode at 1PM EST/10AM PST is about us artists facing the weight of the world and how to keep going despite everything that seems stacked against us.

I am BEGGING Bluesky to stop having conversations about Xitter. Stop giving it power, I came here to ESCAPE it, not to be constantly reminded of it. What it once was is gone, let's let BlueSky be BlueSky.
