"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Things have been very busy lately but when one of my favorite pattern designers (Vasile and Pavel) released this earlier this month, I HAD to make it and it had to happen before Halloween. So all my spare time has gone into him. Isn't he adorable? Just a couple finishing touches left. #leatherwork

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

“why don’t we make buildings pointlessly beautiful anymore?” LOOK AT THIS. just LOOK at THIS.

Well that was delightful.

You asked for it! We delivered Quack-O-Grams to our members of Congress urging them to #ImpeachRFK, and get that Quack out of office! There's still time for you to get in on this fluffy, feathery action: Send your own duck at zurl.co/W1ZnB#ImpeachRFKand keep the momentum going! 🦆

QRP with your mental state.

I'm hoping someone might be able to give me info on a family heirloom teapot. I was told it came to the US from Scotland with my family (in the early 1900s I think). The shape doesn't look quite like any of the Brown Betty pictures I'm finding online. It is fire damaged and I'm hoping to restore it.

Badly needed #anatomy practice. #sketchbook

Really I'm pretty low maintenance I just need 17 hours of alone time in the morning, absolute silence the rest of day except for my comfort shows which will be on in the background 24/7, constant reassurance that everybody I know isn't mad at me and also ten thousand dollars cash

Available for purchase! All mirror mosaic on wood skimboard. Contact me for price and shipping info! 🙏♥️ #mosaic #art

The Lightfastness and Student Grade Materials discourse on Watercolor YouTube has, predictably, veered into anti-intellectualism (spearheaded, coincidentally, by sleazy influencers trying to sell low quality, non-lightfast paints under their own brand) So... from the top...

It's finally here! The next #Sketchasaur short starring the always-charismatic Spinosaurus, whose 'true colors' came out when we viewed it through the water. Let me know what you think! #Sciart #Blender3D #ArtistOnBluesky #Animation

COCK BLARNET!

It's officially me trying to get decent pictures of spiny orb weavers season.

Just caught my reflection in my laptop screen typing in the most awkward position because cat.

Daily Sketchbook Challenge July - Skies July was a bit of struggle tbh. I'd hoped to end the month feeling more comfortable painting clouds but instead I learnt a lot about water control, gradients, and overworking. For August, I want to do something completely different so I've chosen…Anatomy!

Beautiful new stained glass street art installation in South Philly from Justin Tyner! More from the artist below: “I have a collection of different types of glass from over twenty years of restoring windows in Philadelphia. During the removal of stained glass…” 1/4

Warmin up with one of my favorite side quest in Majora’s Mask. Real X-Files vibes 🤙 #zelda #majorasmask #fanart #sketchbook #artsky

Fun spread! Tardigrades in space 🌌 #sketchbook #gouache

Watercolor is kind of my nemesis but Andrea Nelson on YouTube reminds me they can be fun too. Beetles on the left page are from one of her tutorials and on the right is me attempting to figure out how to make a gentle ocean wave effect without the patience to learn proper techniques. #sketchbook

Dr.Teeth, taking a moment. “I see I’ve attracted some wanderin’ admirers.” #Muppets

Citrine's SweetsCafe. Another ode to the small mountain towns I still miss, since moving to the city. Also, ghosts

This sounds made up but I just came back from the bathroom to find my cat on my laptop keyboard. After shooing him off and closing a bunch of programs he'd opened, I noticed this:

Back to the present. This is what happens when you lose a fear of colour. Still very dependant on the pencil work but the hues make it hit differently. (plus several thousand hours at the drawing board improving the pencil work) Come back in ten years and I'll really show you something!
