Whelp, Dracula has other ideas for my drawing table...
A drafting table is next to a window with trees and a clear sky outside. On the drafting table lies several pads of watercolor paper, sketchbooks, ink bottles, and a reference human skull.
Dusted off my drawing table and getting in some studio time with the rest of my vacation from day job. Now, what was I working on like 3 months ago...?

Bolillo has been enjoying his adventure visiting the fam in Sacramento. I've been trying to get a good photo of all the dogs together, but no luck so far. 😅 so enjoy this shot of Bolillo on the car ride over!
Three paintings in progress of gorgeous opossums. They’re hard working, they’ve got teeth, and they are not afraid to freeze up, just like me!
Beautiful women of the night…

Something ya'll are going to LOVE is dropping next week. 👀👀
TrueRef: Just the reference you were looking for.
In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

Unfortunately my day job keeps me super busy so I don't have a lot of new work since last year. So, here's a repost of last year's #portfolioday
Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work!
Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪
I’m working on a way to make my art more accessible to those wanting it in their lives. Stay tuned.

The Japanese spitz dog is closer to the viewer, peering at the d20 with one paw lifted to strike.
Rolling them 20s.
Wayfair reducing an entire profession as an "off screen hobby". Immaculate artist studio with no clutter.
I can't even be mad about this ad reducing an entire profession as "offline hobby", bc I want everything in this entire setup.
My art, digital. A women sleeps in the hands of a giant skulled God

The Spirit Child is the purest version of ourselves. They represent the inner child that roams freely between the physical and spiritual realm. They freely jump from the precipice to start new journeys, knowing they are protected by the embrace of Spirit and the guidance of their astral companions. Whether that means falling into physical embodiment, or floating upwards into the collective cosmos, The Spirit Child is relentless in their need to explore, imagine, and play. The Spirit Child is a reminder that new beginnings are always possible, that we contain multitudes, and finding yourself is as simple as honouring your journey. ↑ New beginnings, Unlimited Potential, Finding yourself ❂ Egbe Orun, The Fool ↓ Disconnection, Stagnation, Naivety

Bolillo enjoying his Sunday at the dog park and then brunch! Now he is plopped at home for the rest of the day 😴 😆
I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.
Comic Con Oakland poster, designed by Steve Leiber. The dates are May 9 and 10 of this year at the Oakland Convention Center
🗣️ Bay Area artists!
Comic Con Oakland has their debut event in May on Mother’s Day weekend, and their Artist Alley and Exhibitor applications are open!
I think it’s going to be a great event because the folks running it are pros who actually care about comics and supporting creative people.
