calm columnar smokestacks indicative of strong vitality (Fire Blast zine, 2022) #pokemon #art

I’m open to tackle most natural subjects and depict them with a sense of appreciation or respect. My work is generally calm and quiet because of how I choose to set composition and colour.

It doesn't really matter if it's good or not. Good comes with time, and practice, and building your style up from the trash like a magpie lining its nest with the shiniest things that catch its eye. Doing it is what matters. You've got to. It will never become good if you don't.

Honestly the thing I'd tell artists trying to get traction on any platform is to *not* complain every other week about how your numbers are shit. Perfectly good artists make themselves repellent as hell to lore than just their peers w this shit and obnoxious negativity is annoying to read.

Happy Holidays! Wishing you a cheerful time with family and friends or a quiet and relaxing time alone 💚

If you’re interested in getting better at art I cannot stress enough how beneficial it is to read up on global art history… the lessons that honestly impacted my art the most were from my art history classes rather than technical drawing classes.

If your month (year??) also seems determined to end on a rotten note, maybe a steep discount on queer indie books will help? Buying books can't make things WORSE, right 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫 🌈💜
