Once upon a time I planted the seed of a cherry tomato in a pot, thinking that surely it won't grow very large. Anyway, here I am pollinating the ceiling tomatoes.

Today's artist proof painting - an itty bitty rendition of Leviathan from Final Fantasy (specifically the Dimensions 2 version 'cause it's starry and cool). Painted in acrylics, with pencil for scale. 🎨

A little watercolour I’ve been working on, which all got a bit hypnotic for some reason. #oaktrees #savethebutterflies #inverts #nature #wildlifeart #teammoth

This is why I like painting proofs so much - I'd never painted anything anime up until this request, and now I have! It was super different from my usual, but in a fun way. 🎨🐎

I am very happy to share my completed acrylic cityscape painting - Freeport. I loved including all the narratives and details. This will be exhibited at IX arts in Reading, PA, next month. #freeport #wimmelbild #cityscape #fantasycity

It's been a couple of weeks and life is back to normal but I'm still thinking of the fun at Magic Mania Lille, held by @magiccestchic.bsky.social . I realized I hadn't posted the proof painted for Alvar - it was to be something Phyrexian (of course) and it was a treat to draw some body horror.

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of starting this piece live in Atlanta during my painting demo at #DragonCon. It was such a fun experience to work in front of an audience and explore the initial layers of the painting in real time. Thank you to everyone who showed up!⁠ #oilpaintingdemo

Night Migration Oil, 30x20in, 2024 at @ixarts.bsky.social Art Show next month! In our night sky there is a dark band that runs through the Milky Way, known as the Great Rift. This darkness is where the stars of our galaxy are obscured by vast clouds of interstellar dust and geese … er, gas.

Kumonosu the Watchful for Through the Omenpaths. Art direction by Deborah Garcia. Copyright and trademark Wizards of the Coast. I REALLY wanted to do a piece 100% in acrylics but ended up having to do the glowy bits in oils. 18x24 on board.

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

A bunny proof! Again! 'Cause I really like the whimsy of Bloomburrow. This one is coming with me to Lille for MagicMania. But if you'd like to get in on the next wave of proof sketches, tomorrow is the day! Info is in the quoted post, and I'm very excited to find out what I'll be drawing.

Painting artist proofs is like.. Steps 1-3: make sure it's the right side up Step 4: start taping it to my little clipboard for support Step 5: lift an edge to check if it's the right side up Step 6: finish taping it Step 7: wonder wistfully if it's the right side up

My cherry tomato has hit a milestone. And by a milestone I mean the ceiling. It hit the ceiling.

Liliana is done! Used fluorescent pinks for the fluorescent pink parts and golds for the gold parts and some interference purples for the very obvious magic and the very subtle markings on her skin. Done in acrylics - the pencil wasn't involved in any way, I just realized it's great for scale. 🎨

It's a mere 27C indoors, so as soon as the sun started coming in through the big windows Bucha went to finally get some warmth in this frozen tundra.

A little WIP - her face is the size of my fingertip. ...actually maybe a little smaller than that.
