It’s looking like all the comment sections are active today…

My friend & artist @leighwalls.bsky.social sent me some inked sketches back in 2020 on 3x5 index cards & I finally laminated & put some on my wall near my workspace for inspiration. They are some of my treasured pieces. Leigh’s inks are some of the best I’ve seen & I hope we’ll collab again soon.

I randomly stumbled upon Fujio Kito, an artist who documents Japanese playgrounds at night. It was a fun little rabbit hole to follow. fujio-pand-park.tumblr.com

I think my red and orange Canna lilies cross pollinated and created a hybrid (photo 1&2) I’m seeing not far from them. I’m no plant expert, so I’m not sure, but it has characteristics of both. 🌱

Only 5 days of pestering left! Headcases still needs to reach it's goal www.kickstarter.com/projects/les...

A trap I found myself succumbing to was “living for an invisible audience.” It’s not something I purposely sought, but I noticed it subtly creep into my taste, personality, responses… now I find myself giving and asking for more grace because the more I learn the less I seem know.

Our youngest keeps having high test scores at school, and I finally learned why while overhearing her chat with her sister. Turns out our oldest has been sharing what she's learned with her for YEARS.

Something I've been slowly doing is settling in on world signifiers for #Ha-Nahn. One of the first big ones I've worked in recently is calligraphic magic. It's harder to see in Nature's Aegis but if you zoom in...

It’s a bit messy right now, but here’s almost 20 years in the making in building my tiny cozy workspace. I’ll do a small tour someday soon.

My lemon drop pepper is turning yellow!!! 🌱

I'm actually coming to the end of All the pieces I had from last time, so I'm casting my fishing rod again. Thanks for everyone who came through the first time around! What's with the blood? Hey friend, you're asking a lot of questions...

This is the prettiest Canna Lily I’ve grown so far. Going to make sure to harvest the seeds in the fall. 🌱

Was listening to some random podcast and the guest was talking about how much he loves entrepreneurship and the freedoms it brings. But he then said that he empathizes but has no good advice for folks who want to opt out of capitalism and “just” garden. Well… I guess this episode’s not for me.

All 63 pages of our upcoming graphic novel #OtisAndTheSylvaBeast are penciled!!!! Here’s a peek into @wingedelfgirl.bsky.social sketchbook as she expertly defined and refined the characters and environments that will be in this book. Hope you’re just as excited as we are for this book!

My oldest has me cracking up at how little she cares about parasocial relationships. She’s learning to crochet and I can hear her yelling at some YouTube channel: “Lady, I don’t want to shop or hang out with you nor need to know your favorite brand of chips. I’m here to learn how to crochet.”

Visiting family, and I was asked to give my lil' nephews a painting demonstration, so I did this piece of my favorite Pokémon.

Got a crossover commission piece for @eminentcomics_ and @heartline.comics. The Hope Breaker versus Dark Alpha, who shall reign supreme! I had to invent a whole new brush to draw all those chains and I haven't used it since. #digitalart #Indiecomics #light #dark #chains #Blackheroes

Because I've had some people who wanted to watch my gaming videos and some who only want to watch my art videos, I have decided to make two different Youtube channels. Gaming: www.youtube.com/@ChristineBr... Art/Comics: www.youtube.com/@StineBrunson Hopefully this helps!

We went 160ft underground to Luray Caverns in VA. It felt like being on another planet. Went for my youngest birthday, since she loves exploring. It was a fascinating experience.

Commission sheet to get an idea on my current pricing.

Still here. Beats the alternative. #NewProfilePic

I’m reading this book and goodness gracious, times have NOT changed. I see why politicians and the press chose to pacify the public with his Dream speech, but the contents of this book is what made folks mad. He didn’t just dream but had tangible plans. That’s what frightens the powers that be.

Found this old photo of me many years ago in Cameroon, Africa. I can clearly see here that our youngest child is my twin.

My conspiracy theory is that Federalizing DC is one of many steps this administration is taking to make sure they never leave. They’ve said so many outlandish things they’ve been allowed to deliver on and the year ain’t even over yet. Oh the benefit of doubt wealthy white men can get.

I’m trying to figure out ways to tell genuinely well meaning folks that AI isn’t as good as they think it is without coming off as “the angry artist with a pitchfork.” But I’m not as patient as I used to be with such conversations. I get peeved the second I have to interact with it in any capacity.

I’m the worst person to geek out about stuff with. I like a lot of pop as well as obscure stuff, but am terrible at remembering stuff on the spot. I end up looking like I’m not engaging, when in reality I’m trying to remember what is being discussed 😭

Just drawing up a character design #art #characterdesign

This one went up on Patreon and Ghost today! More sad plants trungles.ghost.io/oh-my-god-th...

Omg! Spotted Creaky Acres in the wild at Writers Block in Las Vegas

I was surprised to find out the book Bill Watterson released earlier this year was a picture book with John Kascht. I’m always happy when artists are free to create what they want on their own terms.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE human made art. Please believe me when I say art does not have to be perfect to be charming, endearing, and affecting. It is the human touch that creates the allure.

In an alternate timeline, this is a real cover.

Set up and ready to go at Legion Comic Con in Smyrna Georgia . 😀 11am-4pm, head to legioncomicconvention.com for more information. #comicbooks

It never ceases to annoy me how many folks want the right to FORCE their beliefs onto people, while simultaneously accusing folks of persecuting them… of FORCING their beliefs onto others. They already have systems built to do their dirty work, yet they whine cause folks ain’t “agreeable” or “civil”

Whenever I see “$300+ OFF” as a sale on any product, I already know I can’t afford it.
