Prompt 2 for #TheSpiceCabinet #LoveAndLust2026 with @bitememedusa.bsky.social and @spicedartichoke.bsky.social

Stayed up too late painting something I don't like again 🙃

Man hands, wtf

I watched a video about how the brain reads Saw a snipet about how eyes work Now I understand why thumbnails are so important

I'm doin the work, fam, and it's looking good

My art style is "I can fix this later...ok I've stopped caring"

I used the bleed through of a marker drawing (and my memory of the ref) as a guide for a loose gouache sketch because the leftover paint on my palette was the perfect color and it was a fun little exercise with very little pressure

At some point I'll just stop using oil paint because I'll run out of white and the big tube is like $40

I miss my Twitch friends but getting my ancient computer set up to stream again is a daunting task

Putting down a funky underpainting is possibly the most fun part of a painting

I want to get my drawing skills to a point where I don't have to "fix" it by painting over it, but I can add color and depth if I want to

One of my favorite things about blending with my fingers is my fingerprint is literally in my art

Did these with highlighters

I have free will. I don't have to wait for May to draw mermaids.

The first dated thing in my sketchbook

Finally made a new one and then FOUND OUT THE ORIGINAL DIDN'T GET DELETED

"Wish I could take a picture of the sky without all that stuff in front of it. Oh wait! I'm an artist"

These, my friend, are stickers

Anyway, I still make art

Day 3 of paint smells from next door 😡

Anyway, I still make art

My conspiracy theory is that some companies pay IG to make it impossible to block them 🧐

I made a reference sheet yesterday and found out over 24 hours later it didn't save when I closed it I could scream

Me: "Today I will be productive" My lungs: "No tf you will not"

I need to be less tired

What's everyone up to? Mischief, I hope.

Why is caran d'ache making new crayons no one seems to like when they could be making new colors of the crayons everyone likes??

What in the actual fuck

If you want to burn through the last 20 pgs of a sketchbook really fast, just do some gesture drawing

If you’re looking for a healthy snack, open your fridge and take out: -baby carrots -some grapes -a string cheese -strawberries This means you can get to the mini cheesecake you were hiding from your kids. Eat that. Oh. A mentally healthy snack. That’s what I meant. Put all the other stuff back.

Me when people talk about moving to another country and I try to tell them every place has it's kinda terrible points

"I CAN ONLY DO ONE THING AT A TIME!!" I yell to my family as I attempt to do 4 (four) things at a time.

My art process is something like >have idea >get nervous about executing idea, start anyway >HEAVILY QUESTION IDEA, but see it through >wow I'm so good >I no longer care, burn it if you want

Been trying to work through all my art supplies including these little Artist Trading Cards. Been doing little low effort studies so I can also work on simplifying the information while still keeping it readable. This one is from an old food paint challenge on IG.

Some people missed the memo 😒

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
