The good thing about Friday, is that it’s a day where I can pretty much spend an unlimited amount of time in the workshop 😊 Progress on the Cyberpunk piece: #wip #art #gouache #cyberpunk #painting #comingsoon

How about an extreme close-up of the new, cyberpunk gouache painting? Wait till you see how small this is in real life! 😅 I will say though... I am very much enjoying the texture of this ❤️ #WIP #art #process #painting #gouache

Experimenting with soft pastels on gouache to see if I can enhance the light effects. What do you think, does the lamp top left need some more tlc? 🤔 #wip #art #experiment

Sooo... What do y'all think of this new YouTube video intro? 👀 #artist #art #intro #video

Practicing with the new gold foil kit. Dang, this is harder than I thought it would be! Then again… maybe I’m just starting too small 😅 Find your happy place! #art #humor #practice

Gooood morning everyone! ☀️❄️ Remember that "Hello 2025" piece? It's only been a week since I finished it, and yet somehow, it feels like I'm already storming into the holiday season towards 2026 😂 Anyway, have a look at how it's made! 👉 youtube.com/shorts/pX12_... #Timelapse #art #studioghibli

Progress is being made on the Noodle Dragon! ❤️ Not sure where this sudden obsession with food comes from 😂 #wip #art #noodles #dragon #asia #artistlife
