the sketchbook, lately

I had a bunch of scraps left over from a project, so I figured creating patchwork pockets would be a nice way to use them up. #arlosart #sewing #patchwork #18thcentury

Shipping is a nightmare. I wanted to order 2 stickers from France. They cost $4. How expensive do you think shipping would be? Over $16.

Do you like how the background quilting, on my book block, turned out? 👏🤩🪡🧵 #quilting #sewing #textileart #embroidery #handstitching #slowstitching #quiltsky

Stitched up a scrub top for my mama #handembroidery #embroidery #needleart

Some more post-artfight revenges I've done after the event since there's still so may attacks I'd like to answer :'D hopefully I can express my gratitude through attacking more of you this year.

We now return to "MANOS" the uhhhh Hands of Fate...? #linocut #printsky #printmaking #art #artsky #crafts ##traditionalart #prints #blockprint #ink #witchsky #occult #artist

I need to get more supplies and get back into the swing of things, but this was a fun little project to do. #linocut #printmaking #stamps #blockprinting

Printed another limited run of these springtime garlands this week. (Had to get a glamour shot of them with the peonies, of course.) 🌞 In the shop now, find them at patterned.etsy.com #art #handprintedtextiles #linocut

This is my beloved #OC, Caspian. He’s in so many AUs he doesn’t have a canon backstory, but he’s usually a gladiator. #originalcharacters #ocCaspian

I got some printmaking supplies for my birthday! So I’m excited to start working on some new blocks soon.

A welcome distraction

My first pocket travel guide is available to download for free/pay what you want, along with a PDF transcribing the zine & describing its images. If you’re in the U.S. and you pay at least $4, I’ll send you a physical copy of the #zine as well. saint-arlo.itch.io/lets-go-with... #arlosart #art

Happy to share a new zine we just finished that's an updated version to "Recognizing Hate". This zine is a reference guide to identify various nazi dog whistles, and includes a list with brief descriptions of the most active far-right groups currently in the US. www.wewillfreeus.org/farrightthre...

unspoken rule of commissioning

The Velveteen Rabbit, author Margery Williams. It was first published on 1922. The child in the book had scarlet fever.

If envy is a sin then boy am I sinning.

Say what you will about the internet, it remains awesome that I can buy dinner for a friend who's having a shitty-ass day from halfway across the world

A 3D embroidered felt orange & orange blossom I made as a Christmas gift for my friend back in 2024 🍊 #arlosart #art #embroidery #fiberart #artsky

So I'm not "adult industry" (quite? I dunno, the smut I write from time to time definitely counts in some people's books but- I digress) and I only have one card to keep my credit high, but I would apply for one of these on day one. I support this so wholeheartedly!

Congratulations on 2K! 🎉 I do mainly linocuts. Here's part of a huge, weird rat project I'm working on loosely inspired by the defunct yet glorious trainwreck of a CW show Reign.

I always feel so honored when a cat falls asleep on me. Out of this whole entire place, my lap is the most comfortable place to you? You feel safe enough to rest fully? What a treat.

On the packing table today: Loons, bats, moths, snakes, Baba Yaga and claddagh prints. #art #linocut #illustrator #printmaking

My Cowboy I play in Monster of the Week. He’s a man-child who can’t maintain romantic relationships, but does manage to run his family farm while kicking monster butt in between. #arlosart #ocsky #oc #artsky #digitalart #motw #ttrpg

Finally making an #introduction post! I’m Arlo, a queer (he/they) artist in my mid-20s who wants to share my work with others. I do a little bit of everything when it comes to creating, so expect lots of different mediums. #introduceyourself #intro #watercolor #collage #embroidery #oc

March was such a wild ride that I only got the time to make a #scrapbook page for it in April. It was a very text heavy spread for that reason. #arlosart #art #scrapbooking #collage #junkjournal

When I asked my little sibling what they wanted for a Valentine’s Day gift, they just wanted any kind of art, so this is what I had fun making. #arlosart #digitalart #art #18thcentury #illustration

These were good practice in accepting imperfections and a lack of exact control in the process of creating. #arlosart #art #printmaking #prints #monotype #artisticnudity
