On to the next adventure! #kidlitart

I will always be me. I will be the one to put brush to paper. I will be the one browsing photos endlessly looking for the right one to inspire my next painting. I will be the one to create, to succeed. I will be the one to fail. And if I fail let it be me. Let it all be mine. Because I'm an artist.

Some fan arts I made for @whatsupbeanie.bsky.social AMAZING graphic novel My Sister the Werebeast! The cave is part of the story, but the dragons are my own silly invention because I was curious what creatures they might find down there and for some reason my brain thought...literary dragons?

Opening emergency commisions! 🚨 My financial situation has changed, leaving me unstable for this month and the following months. I'm taking pets and birds commissions! I would be incredibly grateful if you could help by sharing this post! vgen.co/dliok #Vgencomm #VGenOpen #commission #comms

Something a little different today -- a digital experiment! When I first found out about my paint allergy, I gave digital a try by painting on top of one of my color roughs from my last solo show in procreate. I didn't enjoy it enough to produce my finals this way, but it was fun to play around!

Some little watercolor and ink sketches from a month or so ago that I finally got around to scanning today #kidlitart

I'm painting again! 🎉 So far it seems that wearing cotton gloves under nitrile plus long sleeves is working to curb my allergy, hooray! For now I'm painting a bunch of silly little things to retrain my hand to work while wearing gloves, but I'm getting better each day and I'm feeling hopeful! 💛

thanks for all the allergy advice, friends! For now, I'm going to try cotton gloves layered under powderless nitrile + long sleeves (and maybe a carbon filter mask if needed) and if that doesn't work, I might investigate homemade/small-scale gouache and paper. I'll let you know what works!

An update on the paint allergy: Winsor Newton got back to me, and yep, they use isothiazolinone as a preservative in their paints. Now to see if literally all my supplies contain it... I'll update when I hear responses if others are interested

So...I was just diagnosed with a Methylisothiazolinone allergy, which means I'm probably allergic to all my paints and my paper 🙃 I've emailed every manufacturer I use to ask if they use this chemical, but do any of my fellow traditional artists have paint-allergy advice? Do gloves work?

Still dealing with health problems (sigh) so things have been slow-going on the work front lately, but here's a little fan art I did a while ago of Gable and Angelica from @trungles.com's lovely comic Angelica and the Bear Prince which felt Valentines-y 💛

Author copies of book three arrived at my door today so now I can put all of them together in a pile 🥹❤️. The latest is coming out next month!

Hey everyone! I recently updated my personal print shop with all my recent personal work, as well as my MtG pieces! I’m also offering a week-long 25% discount code on top of inprnt's 40% sale that's running: LMDM2MNG. 💛 www.inprnt.com/gallery/vane...

No more terror in our streets!

Bet extremely careful about what you share today. Propaganda is going to be -everywhere- and the less unvetted info is spread the safer it will keep people. My personal view is that I will not believe a single thing this admin says about the shooting. Ever.

Sorry to post this one separately but for some reason I didn’t see that my illustration for this card was released 😅 But anyway, here’s my third and final card for #MTGLorwynEclipsed! It was a lot of fun to paint a Flamekin — thank you so much to ADs Jameela Wahlgren and Aliana Rood!

So cool to see these, thank you so much for sharing! 💛

One of the things that has especially bothered me about the ICE raids is that often folks are taken with no way to contact their loved ones to let them know what happened. One of the most helpful things you can do as a legal upstander is get this info - but these abductions are chaotic at best.

I really hope artists know by now that Sticker Mule is toxic sludge. There are plenty of alternatives.

Celestial Reunion - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper for Magic: The Gathering's "Lorwyn Eclipsed". AD: Jameela Wahlgren An emotional reunion between two elemental gods. I was asked to lean into a stylized representation of them, and I had a lot of fun playing with the intertwining shapes.

Hooray! I'm so excited to finally get to share two of the cards I made for the new #MTGLorwynEclipsed set! It was such a joy to work on these and I'm still pinching myself to see my name on a magic card, how crazy! Many thanks to my amazing AD Jameela Wahlgren who was an absolute joy to work with!
