I'm learning #Japanese and love making graphics. Good challenge - learn a new word or 2 every day designing a visual to go with the word. Hope this helps with both my language and #graphicdesign learning as I go. I do NOT use AI and each day I'll try to explore a new style and word! #GraphicDesign

new personal branding ideation and design in progress. Thoughts: Organic forms, Art Nouveau, Ex Libris book prints, gardening, butterfly wings, 1982, luxury elegance, timeless, feminine aesthetics with strong fundamentals, macabre dark fantasy, hanko = Japanese/Asian cultural influences, monogram.

When life gives you lemons, 逃げちゃ駄目だ。

It's an older art, sir but it checks out. My tribute to davidlynch and the tv series Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me. I am a huge Lynch fan I can hear David saying, "You live and you die and that's all you need to know." What an epic person with such a surreal and creative mind.

Ready to paint my cats in a Soviet propaganda poster. I’ll add cosmonaut helmets and shiny aluminum foil

Had fun with creating a new tribute art/design in my vintage advertisement series. It's been many years since I got back into this style and had a lot of fun revisiting it! I collect and collage digital scans from many years of old art pieces mostly etching, engraving and compose with typography.

Koi pond oasis we built over the years. Just installed UV filter but so far no help with algae. Been a real struggle trying to clear the water.

I made a #Legendofzelda #Ocarinaoftime inspired realistic motivational #movieposter set. These took a long time photo manipulation in #Photoshop they were a lot of fun to create! I did not use any AI. This was created before AI.

Hello clear skies - I wanted to mention if you enjoy #diamondpainting you might like to check out my #art that is available exclusively with #diamondpaintingclub they actually license and use my art fairly compensating me for each sale. Thank you! #artist #cats www.diamondartclub.com/collections/...

What is the diagnosis for always feeling incredible pressure to be great at everything and concurrently feeling total shame and guilt about not actively doing everything all at once? When you have no inherit merit as a human being you rely entirely on accomplishments to create a sense of worth.

Some more prints in my #art collection. Back when covid hit I lost a great opportunity I had for years selling my art at Universal Studios Citywalk. Shit happens. Oh well wasn’t my fault. #nature #surrealism #artist #digitalart

When I apologize to my theme park friends for hating going to crowded theme parks.

Why, Mother?! You chose your lover over your own daughter? 　嘘つき。。。

When you lose a #pet you lose a part of your soul. We lost our #cat a few years back and as expected a part of us died with him. I have witnessed several dogs and cats die over the years and it's a relief to believe (hope) their spirits are waiting for us. I made an #art to reflect this sentiment.

Printing out some of my #art watercolor #limitededition prints. These both have a nice contrast in colors but still retain that figurative #surreal forms that makes them similar as a set. I blend #nature and #texture photography with digital painting and blending in #photoshop no AI used.

I am getting a bit tired of the endless push for everything "art" to be in a motion/video format now. Yes it is beautiful if it is the intended media (like animation or motion graphic art) but can we just sit & appreciate digital or traditional art as a beautiful, static moment? The old Tumblr days.

Several years ago I was commissioned to do a court room sketch for Scott the Woz YouTube channel's charitable sale. I had never done one before but loved the process of research and learning how to accurately recreate that soft pastel and pencil look via Photoshop digital painting.

I saw a slogan today on a sticker: “fuck all y’all” in the colors of Pabst beer can. I think this sums it up nicely.

My #dark #fairytales series. No AI was used (sadly yes I have to say this now) I made these before AI existed. These were fun to create. I tried to not #Disney the shit out of them but still give it a hint of mouse. #digitalart #art

Just created a waterfall and UV filter on my koi pond. Feels good to know I helped the koi. Koi means “to love” in casual Japanese btw. And it also mean koi carp fish. Weird. I love that fact.

Sigma male: Only wants his lover. Doesn’t sweat the circumstances. Shit happens - just roll with it. Wears the same fucking outfit all the time. Be like water. PTSD. Win some lose some. Smuggles things. Doesn’t give a shit what people think. Likes bell peppers and beef. #cowboybebop #spike

Selling prints of my art is like making little paper horcruxes of my soul and selling them to random buyers. It’s nice that my soul is hanging on so many walls around the world. I have the power to leap through my art into your room so might just pop by to say hi. Seriously great couch and flooring.

It's 1991 and you are shopping at Burlington Coat Factory and the Weather Channel comes on in the distance. Your oversized shirt and pants catch the warm breeze from the breath of a saxophone that is gently glistening under the partly cloudy blue skies. #smoothjazz music.youtube.com/watch?v=xpTd...

What they don't tell you in art school is that nobody cares that you went to art school but I wouldn't know - I didn't go to art school and that's why I suck at art but what is great is that nobody cares I didn't go to art school.

I made a #movieposter for a film called Beneath the Leaves back in 2017. Alternative poster for their streaming opening. Still enjoyed it and loved the middle version where her hair turned into the dude's fingers. Here is a process JIF (I'm so not allergic to peanuts):

Dearest, I swear this message will not find you. I will not hit enter. I suggested we drive all night to see the stars. I fell in love with the air that night. A Cold, clean crisp type of air only lovers would know. Mists from our breath scattered like a miasma of our souls. Mixing with the stars.

I can be very esoteric and shit. Check this: The other day I found some sun beams cutting through my arm and wondered if the hemoglobin in my blood could switch to chlorophyll? Wouldn't it be a lot easier than having a wild cookout each day. Less prep and more sustainable. Keeping up appearances.

Hi again. It's been 12 mins 32.5 secs since my last post. Exactly the same amount of time it takes to forget where I left my phone, did I check my slack messages or if I feel hungry again. I have 2 cats. They are indoor cats. They dream of leaving the house. Be like other cats. Sigh...safer here.

Hi my name is Barrett Biggers and I'm an artist. I haven't made any art in 45 days. ["Welcome Barrett" chants the group.]
