Having people in my life ask for help with drawing creatures or anything nature-related makes me feel so seen.

"I'm not wild about IG," I say as I continue to post on there anyways.

If anyone is interested, here's my account:

Digital illustration in the style of a vintage storybook. At the edge of a forest, a girl wearing a hooded cardigan meets a long slender creature. The girl reaches out her hand as if to touch the creature's snout.

Out of curiosity, are there any fellow artists who create art inspired by vintage print/book illustrations? Would love to follow more who share my niche.

What if I spent my time reconciling with the unknown?

Our Connection

A digital illustration in the style of a vintage children’s book. It depicts two humanoid figures whose heads are a flattened organic shape with an opening in the center. Leaning forward, their faces are chained together. Their body language conveys that, while slightly surprised, are ultimately cool with this event.

a digital collage of karl-peter schmidt, a blond man with square glasses wearing a tan business suit and carrying a suitcase with worn-out stickers on it, standing in front of a wall with pink floral wallpaper and light wood paneling. he has a goofy smirk on his face. also behind him is a giant ornate picture frame holding a mountain scene. he is surrounded by smiley face stamps and stickers, along with cutouts reading "believe it or not this is a normal guy (arrow pointing to him)," "100%," and "nothing about this man is very strange at all. please proceed as usual. thank you!"

don't worry! he's Normal 🙂

An illustrated diagram showing how country houses go through cycles of building up and breaking down as humans come and go from them. How through Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Elbow Grease a house is built up, then decays through Condensation, Pollination, Captivation, and Evaporation, aided and and abetted by both the eye of the occult and buried secrets.

How Houses Re-Enchant Themselves

From the essay "The Ecology of The Abandoned Farmhouse" found in Beyond The Fields We Know: An Almanac of Midwestern Prairie Spirits.

A bed of moss in partial sunlight. Some of the moss is white, but it's mostly a vibrant green.

Three tiny orange mushrooms growing next to each other, each an inch taller than its neighbour.

A tree absolutely covered in moss and lichen.

Maple blossoms in sunlight, backed by a blue sky. They are a bright, stunning golden yellow.

Willow buds in bloom, just starting to get fuzzy. The background is out of focus, putting all emphasis on the budding stem in the foreground.

The remains of an old chewed up tree with a severe curve, seeming to cradle a new sprout that emerges from the dirt.

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Having people in my life ask for help with drawing creatures or anything nature-related makes me feel so seen.

Finished commission for my friend Zeggy. I had a whole lot of fun with this one!

Hit me up for a commission, as I'm now sitting with 3 open slots again!

Or feel free to drop some love on Kofi. It really means a lot and helps tremendously rn
