Sometimes I have to leave pieces for a while and revisit them. I started this piece 3 years ago, and just never could find a way to complete it. Last night I had an itch to complete it. "Bloom" is a celebration of all things spring, and particularly Cherry Blossom Season!

(new 📌 post for the profile!) "Shackling" has funded! 🎉 The campaign for my new book runs through October 30! Don't miss the fun exclusives ~ and you can help bring this weird little book to life! 💖 Kickstarter.com/projects/babayaga/shackling #fantasyillustration #babayaga #witches

Dealing with a horrid case of Imposter Syndrome-please send glamour.

This is your reminder that Superman and Wonder Woman were both created as anti-nazi propaganda. So if you are offended by them, maybe you should question why.

This is very good. www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

Everyone: has anyone had an issue with getting their Patreon account reinstated after an accidental deactivation? I have been trying for over a week and am getting desperate and frustrated. I expect this crap from Meta, but not a service I pay for.

@jackconte.bsky.social how do I get my account reinstated? It has been over a week and no one has gotten back to me.

Just messing around in Procreate. I found this cool portrait by Anatoly Karpoff and thought I would use it as a reference to play with Gradient Maps a la Peter Mohrbacher.

I have been quiet, but I have been working on some stuff I hope to share soon! In the meantime, here is a sneaky peak.

Took a break from art for a bit to relearn how to crochet 🧶 again. It helps keep me from doomscrolling. Pattern by Wickedly Handmade. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Work in progress. The man with the Thistledown Hair.

This pleases me.

I am disappointed that Society6 has decided to change their business practice. While I completely understand they want to streamline their artist base and work with a few cultivated artists, I spent months researching the POD company I wanted to work with and picked them a few months ago. /1

Imposter syndrome and chronic overthinking is a creativity killer. I had this amazing idea a few nights ago, and while I was thinking about the planning and execution, I got into my own head and am now completely discouraged.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Crochet has been super therapeutic for me recently. I decided to learn each basic stitch individually and build muscle memory on it before moving to the next. This is the half double crochet.

Working…

First hat I have made in a long ass time. This was my first attempt at ribbing on the edge and I am pleased with how it turned out.

Hayao Miyazaki's short guide to watercolor painting -- we put this translation together a couple of years ago

"Oak Spirit" Done in Procreate

Sometimes you just need a warm and foamy beverage.

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

I needed some retail therapy, so I got myself a snazzy new accessory to hold my crochet project.

Reposting this for absolutely no reason in particular...o.o

Did you know that the color wheel you were taught in school is wrong? The classic RYB wheel is limited in the colors it can create, especially purples. The more scientifically accurate CMY wheel allows for a bigger gamut, or possible range of colors (except for red, so keep that tube of paint).

‼️ARTISTS AND WRITERS Applications for the next humanart artbook are open! I'm looking for artists AND writers! This book will be filled with new fantasy races, items, spells and stories (perfect for DnD/TTRPG)! Shares are much, much appreciated! 💚 More info below!

ngl this is why british shows are much more interesting half the time lol

AI is a more than a dead-end: it is death. The death of creativity, the death of the paid artist, and the death of the environment. But, hey! Some rich people got even more money, and lazy people got a shitty image or text.

waaaaay too many people in the middle imo

Help this amazing artist out and get cool art.

Here is this years holiday card. I have to admit, this one was a bit of a challenge and took me a while. I am not used to doing landscapes / buildings, especially fictional ones. But I had the idea of a Baba Yaga gingerbread house and I had to run with it. Done in Procreate.

My dudes, turn this shit off. On iOS it's under Settings > Apps > Photos > scroll all the way down.

Mister Rogers never misses

I kind of love this. youtu.be/XqU5m5j69wM?...

We love it when you support our art! 💖

Working on trying to get the actual site up and running and figuring out where to take it from there. In the meantime, www.dreamkin.art
