#ArtAdventCalendar Day 8! Another one from "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." I get so much enjoyment out of illustration poetry; it's fun when a text sparks images in my mind. This one in particular lit a fire in my imagination

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7: Squatchtober.

Happy birthday to self-taught trail-blazing Irish #marineBiologist Maude Delap (1866 – 1953), 1st to successfully breed jellyfish in captivity & document their full lifecycle. She is surrounded by blue #jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii) life stages based on her diagrams. 👩🏼‍🔬🧪🐡 #histsci #artAdventCalendar 🧵

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 6. It's cold this morning! #digitalart #artandpoetry

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5: Gruss vom Krampus! Krampus celebrations were banned in the 1930s by the Nazis in Germany and the fascist Christian government in Austria. Therefore, it's canon that Krampus is an anti-fascist symbol. Graphite and charcoal powder on paper.

Good morning and happy #artadventcalendar day 4! A throwback to my earliest attempts at collage, when I was using very little color.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day4. It's a snowy morning here. Thank you, @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for organizing this event -- it's been a pleasure to see so much artwork in my feed!

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3: Orick Mending Bees

#ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt Proxima is the nearest star to the Sun. It is a red dwarf, 1/5 the size of our Sun and 20,000 times dimmer. Here we see it seen from the surface of one of its planets. To the left one can also make out Alpha Centauri, which is a binary star with two Sun-like components.

My artwork of a Sunset on Mars. Dust and small particles suspended in the Martian atmosphere scatter light in the direction of the Sun forward. This creates a blue halo around the setting Sun, rendering a Martian landscape quite different from its terrestrial equivalent. #ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt

Day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar #Collage Created for a challenge by @specialagentcollagecollective.com

Day 1 #ArtAdventCalendar. A stoneware duck. #pottery #sculpture

One time I did a Game of Thrones fanart (before the final season) #Art #ArtAdventCalendar #GameOfThrones #Fanart

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 2. Still one of my favorite projects: illustrating "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," by Wallace Stevens.

Gonna participate in #artadventcalendar this year -- thanks to @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for the heads-up! Day 1: Orick's Cave

Artist manifesto: 1 - you can’t capture the world or even a fragment of it so be specific. 2 - there’s value to taking a position in your art that is more extreme and less nuanced than you might hold in your actual life, to make a point, to be a counterweight. 3 - do what you like. That’s it

A digital sketch for a drawing. I love sketching digitally even if the plan is to finish the drawing using traditional media.

It's my birthday today, and because I am turning 31, am actively balding, and will probably die alone, I want to celebrate it by sharing some of my favorite pieces from this year. 🥳🥳🥳 If you want you can join the celebration by sharing these pieces, that would be very much appreciated. 🖤

Artists, quote with your night art! #digitalart #webcomic

Quote your art with fire 🔥🔥🔥

Oh it’s #portfolioday !? I’m Brian, I like to do drawrings. You can see more at my website: brianrwilliams.com

"Bow Shock," digital drawing. REX INTERFECTVS EST ("the king is killed") is the titulus above the scene on the Bayeux Tapestry depicting King Harold's death during the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The tapestry also shows Halley's Comet, which appeared the same year King Harold was killed. #nokings

Artists, quote with something silly #traditionalart

"Because people who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control has the power!" -G'mork #kaseyart #penandink

people will tell you they don't understand gender fluidity then look right at a ship called the Edmund Fitzgerald and call it "her" without missing a beat

Tomorrow! My solo show, "Rare Earth," opens at La Luz de Jesus Gallery! @laluzdejesus.bsky.social This one's called "Alarm Call V," one of a series of absurdist little vignette drawings of birds & rusty old fog horns symbolizing nature's warning signs about climate change #traditionalart #drawing

If you see this, post something monochromatic 🖤

One thing I must do every time I frame a drawing is make sure the mat is the same width on all 4 sides. When I use thrift store frames, I make a new drawing that will fit in that particular frame proportionally. If I make a drawing before I have a frame for it, then I order a custom-sized one for it

I also love digital art, and do a fair amount of it myself, but I'm always on the look-out for more traditional-media artists. If you see this, share some traditional art ✏️🦉 #art #drawing #traditionalart

New drawing: "Carbon." All drawings are carbon, of course, but this one is about carbon, too. #traditionalart #drawing

New drawing: “The Hermit III”

QRP with your skull art ✏️💀

New drawing, The Hermit II

Happy Portfolio Day! Here's a sample of my traditional-media work. You can see more on my website: brianrwilliams.com #portfolioday #traditionalart

New drawing: "Ventifact." A ventifact is a stone that's been shaped and weathered by wind-blown sand. #traditionalart #artonpaper #drawing
