up late on may 1st? Have some reverse mermaids

Morning emails and chores have reminded me that I don't have to engage with people who blatantly refuse to engage in good-faith. I choose instead to value my time; off to do some painting!

Sometimes I feel like the selfie hits just right ✨

Currently looking for my next gig in Games, if you need a Gameplay Engineer or Unreal Expertise, DM Me! I've got a lot of open Consulting/Contracting space at the moment, so if you are struggling with something Unreal Related, performance, gameplay, etc. I am your guy! www.nickcrosgrove.com

Quick portrait sketch of (shh dont tell the other goats) my favorite goat Hank. He's a little goober.

I love checking in on my chickens at night in the barn to see that one is apparently possessed haha

throwback to a little outdoor painting I had a ton of fun with. Something about painting tree bark is so soothing... #pleinair #sketchbook #painting

The Fantasist For Realis from @possibleworlds.bsky.social

"Soaring high over the marshes the necralis-stork seeks out the bones of the undead and near dying... offering them peace at last, whether they welcome it or not. It needs no eyes when it can smell rotting disease deep through flesh or soil. The unwelcome custodian of rot" #sketchbook #monster

make it exist first make it good later

The urge to pick up little tabletop character portrait commissions is high... I just wanna line art doodle forever.

I am having way too much fun doodling my new character for a #spelljammer game. Im playing a plasmoid druid

Playing around with clip studio more and really liking a lot of the sketchy features and built in bits and bobs.

Jerkin' around with the sketchbook again tonight

Before work horse training time, popped out and tried on rogers harness again. This horse has literally never pulled before EVER and this is his second time in breeching/harness. We attached the poles and all our basics and ground work are CRAZY paying off, he loves it!I love this horse so much! 😭

I got my horse a driving harness and his expression upon trying it is priceless "what the fuuuuu..." Though he drove around the yard like he had done it before no problem! so im STOKED

Im still breeding show-chickens as a hobby, and I've set up my pairs for this year. We just had our first egg from the small ornamental chickens and I'm STOKED. Our ultra-orb shaped Cochins are making ORBS. (this hen is named Bertha she is VERY ROUND)

www.instagram.com/artoftaylorf... Oh gosh a new insta of actually just my art and not one million videos of my dog?

I dont understand why the boomers in my life are obsessed with texting me "beware the ides of march!" every year like its a holiday or I'm supposed to worry about something? I'm not Caesar, it just means the middle of the month.

The new group of grow outs are looking great! #chickens

please read books

Buh-gock! reporting in with my robo chicken doodle

Every year I find myself at LEAST ONCE reminding people that the artist Alberto Mielgo had FOR YEARS paintings of nude young women up with artist statements about how he found them attractive as literal children before he found a way to sleep with them later on. Mega creeper

Uh oh yall! Its big boy's special daaaaay! Hes finally a TEENAGER!

Nothing is more irritating than ai-slop that keeps popping up suggestions in my email and work spaces. Its such garbage and usually totally irrelevant filler that wastes my time. fuuuuck I hate this shit.

Dealing with hoarding In-laws is gonna make me blow a gasket. They have started their yearly offloading things on to us and I had to finally snap back politely and let them know I find holding on to items that just end up rotting in storage then trying to offload onto us is disrespectful.

It's uhh... a little chilly out lol

oldie moldie sketch dragons of course!
