Someone who's followed me on Instagram for 2.5 years didn't know I'd done a full tarot deck even though they followed me when I started drawing the cards. However annoying you think you're being about your work - triple that and it still won't be even close. ✨Repost your work right the fuck now.✨

BOOK COVER ARTISTS! QRP with your #BookCovers

Finally got to spend 5 whole minutes with my sketchbook ❤️ I start getting a little stir crazy when I go too long without any drawing time and *boy* has that been the last few weeks lol 🙃

Randomly remembered this painting I did (2014) today and still think it's pretty cool honestly! I love this color combination.

Say what you want about these dark and twisted times, where fools are running the most important institutions—at least we have cured impostor syndrome.

Every sketchbook (~60) I filled between 12 to 22 no longer exist. They were destroyed in a fire. Every time I see people make fun of their old creations I want to reach out & hug them. They don't know how precious those things are, & that makes me glad for them. Please treasure your old works.

Playing around

hmmmm

Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter dragons :>

Honestly, sometimes just one single nice comment on an art piece or sketch is enough to make my day. Especially because you don't know what someone is going through, so being nice might just help someone's day be better. You never know how much it can mean to someone.

If you’re waiting to feel “good enough” to share your art, you’ll be waiting forever. Very few artists feel that way, at all stages of their careers. Share anyway 🩵

I would have def fallen for the Tulip Mania if I lived in the 17th century. Tulips are colorful and wild and I love them so much. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 This painting "Unfurl" is currently available at Antler & Talon Gallery in Portland, OR See my whole flower series here: www.antlerpdx.com/collections/...

I can’t recommend enough the power of switching mediums when you’re feeling stuck or insecure artistically. Heck, even just switching the brand/type of pen or pencil or brush you use can be enough to shake out the nerves and help drawing become fun again! ✍️

The August review is out for patrons! 🍂 www.patreon.com/posts/137902... Sketchbook explorations in various media, digital commission work, and a status update.

*lying to herself as she continues to be wildly bad at perspective* Imperfections are what makes human-made art more charming.

The worst part of painting is doing all the ground work that you know you should do that will make your life easier hours later

Ever time, hours into a painting, I'll look back and go "yeah I should've sketched that out properly instead of just winging it". Does that mean that I'll sketch it out properly the next time? No

The housing market being as it is I may as well daydream about having a house with a cool turret thing to turn into a glorious art studio 😍

A question I have started asking myself re: art and ideas; “Where am I being timid? Have I turned all the knobs to 11?”

a (vampiric) commission on my easel right now 🦇🌙💜

the icon, the artist, the art 🖌️

I genuinely thought I was falling off due to art not getting seen, turns out everyone's right about just Drawing More And if no one saw you Drawing More, it's not that it didn't work, keep doing it!

Buying a smart bulb was a significant life improvement if just for Mochi’s glamour shots 💖

THIS IS TRUE please hire nola

The icon, the artist, the art.

Drawing a character just floating in a blank void feels wrong after doing all these scene sketches. They are so much fun!

May today you be able to find the time to put away the laundry before it gets too wrinkly.

Icon vs artist Guess I know why I love to draw bobs...

I'm tired of finding out who doesn't actually give a crap about artists...

I’ve got a small spot in this month’s issue of Fine Art Connoiseur magazine!

Open Studio Update! In a little over two weeks we will welcome you to the 2025 Open Studio for Donato Arts on Saturday Sept 20th. The event will features dozens of new paintings & drawings, sketchbooks for perusal, heavy discounts on prints, books & art, and the popular Lottery for give-a-ways!..

genuinely curious Do any other creatives just have this incessant need to create art? Like no matter how much you do, the moment you stop to do a non creative task it's all you think about? You daydream about it, you can't sleep, etc. like you're never sick of it Cause that's my brain constantly
