Now at auction in the AP collectors group on FB… www.facebook.com/groups/88779... #magicthegathering #artistproofs #Magicartist

Ta-dah! The finished Merieke Ri Berit artist proof with paintings on both sides. A personal project, but will probably find a new home in a collectors' fb group shortly. #magicthegathering, #artistproofs #magicartist

Using the tiny brush… A painting on the back of one of my last “Merieke ri Berit” APs from IceAge. There is a different painting on the front of the AP, because I marked the printing trying to erase a signature. Soon to be auctioned on FB, probably. #artistproof #magicart #magicartist

A thing of beauty about a wonderful author…

attempting some studies of Allen's big-eared bats for a commission and once again reminded of why i draw bats so infrequently despite how much i like them. so many lobes and folds to keep track of!!

Dying over the guy who stood next to Zuck's yacht and painted it in flames.

I sent out my studio newsletter this morning, with updates and useful information, a few opinions and a very short story. Don't know what to say that isn't in the newsletter so... *waves hands* Good luck, little newsletter! #artistlife #artofheatherhudson #MtG #mermaid mailchi.mp/88c0fbf49e1d...

Today’s maildrop brought an original artwork by @himmapaan.bsky.social , purchased recently thru #EverydayOriginal. D: Holy fuck. Ho-lee fuck. D: That’s the original. Holy fuck. D: Worth every penny. (We are barbarians but we respect art.) #paleoart #originalart #baryonyx

May 20th means its #WorldBeeDay 🐝🌼 Let's give our bees and other pollinators a fighting chance with no mow May and planting more native flowers! Older sketch from 2017, when I was doing more expressive loose style sketching. #HoneyBee #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #bskyart

It's reached its new home safely, so I feel like I can show you this B&W acrylic portrait of Squee I painted on the back of a "Squee's Toy" AP from MtG; Tempest. #MagictheGathering #ArtistProof #Magicartist #Squee

Breakfast now…

I bought mochas yesterday at a tea (and coffee) shop on the main floor of the Panama Hotel, and I thought it an extremely cool and bookish space and had a sweet cat, but nothing more. This morning I looked it up on-line and learned some history... savingplaces.org/places/panam...

This is a painting titled “Moonrise” created in 1884 by Polish realist artist Stanisław Masłowski (1853–1926), who was known for his realistic style, and this piece is considered a nocturne landscape.

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

As you can probably tell, I am incredibly bad at getting lost in the detail - both when drawing & editing. The limits of my eyeballs + drawing specs mean it's more of a problem when digitally editing tho. Over time I've got better at learning to STFU & just ship things. (Well... Sorta. 😂)

What are you eating now? Do you have the rest of the chicken in there?

Dear Crow - Thank you for leaving that fried chicken leg bone in the birdbath today. It’s much nicer than the road-killed squirrel. Sincerely, Me.

This is true. #WritingCommunity Don't give up. (Just in case you needed to hear that today.)

Drew a southern leopard frog in graphite this week. I think I’ve drawn more frogs than any other animal at this point. It’s become a way to measure how my hands have changed. The texture on this one would not let me put the pencil down. #sciart #pencil

Behold the fancy lad…

Make your own mistakes. It’s better to make unsatisfying art than to be tagged as a plagiarist, and maybe you’ll learn something from the experience.

Wish me luck! I’m doing a quick sketch for someone’s sick friend, I’m busting out the watercolors and I’m not convinced that the paper I’m working on is watercolor paper.

Maybe don’t bring your nervous, hyper-intelligent shepherd dog to a protest march. Maybe that is sub-optimal life choices.

Some portion of America voted for this, and we must always, always put on our lil sneakers and get up and vote against them because otherwise we are *all* the worst people in the world and all of us (who are not predators) will suffer.

I’ve sent an extended version of my Spike Feeder artwork to Wizards for review, preparatory to making a Spike Feeder playmat.
