Altadena Angel’s Trumpets for #pleinairpril - here’s a process video. Tried to emulate acrylic paint with Procreate on the iPad. Finished image is in the comments! @warriorpainter.bsky.social #pleinairpril2025 #pleinairpainting #digitalpainting #losangelesartists #observationalpainting

Apparently Adobe popped to Bluesky like a flower in Spring. And then ended like that.

Hazy LA morning. A digital one, still painted from life. #pleinairpril2025 #pleinairpril #digitalpainting #heavypaint #pleinairpainting #pleinairpainter @warriorpainters.bsky.social

#pleinairpril day 4, some rainy and chromatic colors :0

Day 2 of #pleinairpril2025 - using this month to play in my sketchbook and experiment with new palettes, who knows where it’ll lead!? I don’t know what this thing is but I loved its shapes. Limited myself to 3 primaries + white and a couple colored pencils. #gouache @warriorpainters.bsky.social

Mini pavlova, painted quite fast. Didn’t bother to make a proper ellipse for the plate, but I like it. #paintbook #sketchbook #observationalpainting #stilllifepainting #stilllife #artpost #art

As much as I love painting for Magic, I’ve been doing a lot of plein air and portrait painting recently and it’s so refreshing! If only I could somehow combine my interests in, let’s say, a Secret Lair of painted portraits of cosplayers as their character on that character’s card. Just sayin’

Some cafe drawings. #art #artpost #lifedrawing #cafedrawing #sketch

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

WIP of a self portrait painted from life. Spent an embarrassing amount of time on this already but kept getting pulled into other things. I started this in a wonderful class w/ the painter Kathleen Hall who gave me great feedback. #oilpainting #selfportrait #portraitpainting #observationalpainting

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

Like a lot of people ya boy's ready & looking for work once again so it's time I finally made this post. If you think your production could benefit from a skillset developed form working on critically acclaimed shows like Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur and Dimension 20, then hit me up.

Work camps. It’s a work camp for drug “addicts” which includes people on Rx mental health drugs “if they want”. I highly suspect this was something thought up to make up for the immigrant farm laborers they plan on deporting.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💌🌹 #valentinesday

A couple of quick mirror self portraits. Did these as little studies for a painting but in the end, I with something else. I really liked the idea of the rumpled pose of the second one but quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to hold it for long. #artpost #sketchbook #observationalart #selfportrait

Hi! First post here on Bluesky! Here is my Hourly Comics this year featuring Oolong! These were all observations from Feb 1 done in quick successions. l've always wanted to do an hourly comic from the POV of a dog and I guess I finally did it. (Part 1/4) #hourlycomicday #dog #personalcomic #Oolong

I did nothing today

“To Us” a toast to the resilient animation industry. I was thinking about my friends, colleagues, and union kin, made this in a couple hours to show my appreciation to them. We are Hollywood. Hang in there.

Beadwork book beadwork book! The cover took me 60 hours just on the beads, 80 from start to finish. It's wraparound. Also my first big project done in watercolor! I got an unbound proof from the publisher a few months ago and it's gorgeous, I'm so excited!! www.simonandschuster.com/books/All-th...

Thank you for the DMs and comments my zelle and venmo are images below. But yeah unless If i want to get the money out myself I need to prove my identity so unless you've sent me something in the last week all my living expenses and things for the memorial have mostly come from my savings.

hello :) looking for posters, covers, detailed work in 2025 🌱 Debleeart.com 🐳 Instagram.com/jdebbiel #portfolioday

every single person that tried to claim that they were a feminist, a liberal or a progressive, while Just Asking Questions about this shit? it’s now starkly clear what side they’re on. plausible deniability out the window

maybe wear a mask as you go about your day, LA friends.

Hey y'all - A reminder that the smoke and ash down in LA/Pasadena is.... really toxic. Some folks didn't track it, but the Camp Fire has killed people for multiple years after the fact because of their interactions with the toxic byproducts of the fire. Stay safe. Gloves and masks.

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

HEY! I've got a bunch of stuff in @alexhirsh.bsky.social 's auction to raise money for the LA fires! Original concept drawings from OTGW pilot, rough storyboards, ugly copies of my out-of-print book BAGS, a little wooden guy, limited edition art books & comics, goofy sketches, etc! shorturl.at/lYISv

Hey folks, I know a lot is happening right now, and it feels inconsiderate to talk about it... But the game I spent the last 2.5 years of my life on, Hyper Light Breaker, is out today as early access. If you could check it out, it would mean a lot to me. store.steampowered.com/app/1534840/...

Id love to get a hold of some folks from lower decks or star trek in general for something for my dad he was a long time trek fan. I know a few people but I don't know who to call.

Hi y'all! I started collecting fundraisers for members of The Animation Guild (my union) and their friends and family in hopes of having a centralized list people can send around. Please feel free to share! 📃 bit.ly/TAG839LAFires

TTRPG work, vinyl artwork, posters, book covers, personal commissions, games etc etc. Looking for fun + weird projects to work on in 2025 #portfolioday sajanrai.co.uk/portfolio

Some peaches I painted before having to evac. 🤷‍♀️ Looking forward to having access to real paint again soon but in the meantime might do some digital painting from my hotel.

Gonna start a #portfolioday thread with examples of diff types of animation design work I’ve done. Props/fx, color design, character - and I have a new bgpaint portfolio, but it’s NDA. 😩 Email me for NDA work PW! Here’s #colordesign from #SummerCampIsland
