#PleinAirpril2026 is officially here! Time to get your painting kit out and to (quite literally) go touch some grass.
To celebrate the end of this intense challenge, we will be hosting a @warriorpainters.bsky.social plein air painting session at the lovely Adelaide Crescent Gardens in Brighton.
It's now Spring, the sun is out and I feel fuzzy and warm ✨️🌈
I'm working on being more decisive with my painting in digital. I always noodle indefinitely, but approaching as if I were painting traditionally really helps me :))
Also I'm deep in the trenches of Witch Hat Atelier, can you tell?

Someone said that your best work is not made at your desk and I feel that!
It's when I go on adventures with friends that I can see the world around me and get my best ideas!
This is the piece that I will dissect step by step in my Warrior Art Camp "Funky Buildings and Stylised Design" class :D
More lamb! From Cult Of The Lamb's Woolhaven's launch trailer with Half-Giant!

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.
This will be an 100% independent production that relies on crowdfunding for its budget. Please give us a follow at our pre-launch page here to receive updates leading to our March 13th launch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...
The cover of the graphic novel, a colored illustration by Daun Han depicting King in the foreground, Luz and Harpy Eda behind him, and the other cast of characters framing them including Willow, Hunter, Gus, Papa Titan, the Collector, and Amity.
We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel!
The Owl House: The Long-Lived King
Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social
Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social
We're so excited to tell a brand new story.
I love getting to do silly perspective angles haha. From Cult of The Lamb's Woolhaven launch trailer Half Giant
AHHHH THANK YOU KWEEEEEN
Had such a great time teaming up with Half Giant on this trailer for Cult of The Lamb's Woolhaven launch. The art style is SO PRETTY!!!! Been wanting to be part of one of these for ages! :))
Anna's partner here! At the time that she was designing this, I was working in Animation for preschool age.
The notes I got at my job were "make this less sus please", while the notes Anna got on her work were "make this more sus please"
The 2 ends of the art spectrum 🤣🤣🤣
Earth Must Die is GOING LIVE AT 6PM TODAY, DON'T MISS OUT!! ✨️
Half Giant's latest Cult Of The Lamb trailer is ouuuut!! :D
It was an absolute pleasure to work on BG's for this piece!! Go check it out!!!

Cannot wait for this!!!
What a year it has been! Been part of exciting projects, got my first course out of the door, delved deeper into Blender and got to spend more time in my lil personal project! Hoping for more time for feel good personal art in 2026! #Artvsartist2025 :))
Gigi might be the scary one, but drawing this dude and his 4 arms in perspective still haunts my dreams! From Half Giant's Brawlstars Gigi trailer :))
My favourite BG from the Brawlstars Gigi trailer with Half Giany !
My toxic trait is adding ellipses to everything I design, so I manifested the mother of all layouts: a) round room, b) furniture facing different planes c) fish eye d) low angle e) CHARACTER WITH 10000 arms??!! It was super fun tho!
Some exciting news! I recently started as Art Director at Blue Zoo Animation Studio :)
To say that the last few months have been chaotic would be an understatement, but, throughout it all, I have been incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such an amazing art community.
I am so excited to be launching my course "Background Design For Animation, Comics and Games" in official partnership with Clip Studio Paint and Graphixly - Find out more here: lnkd.in/eHMaE_m5
Tiny painting! This is the piece I painted during the Warrior Painters and Concept 101 meet up last week in Greenwich park! It was a lovely afternoon and the sights were gorgeous. I am honestly surprised at myself that I managed to yap at everyone AND make a painting?? Wow
I delved in deep for this one as I want to model and animate it in Blender. I have a feeling I will be doing some mild screaming in the next few days, so please bear with me!
It is built for mobility, not speed, which is why it has snake like mechanics, in order to navigate irregular terrain and crevices.
Callout sheet for the motorbike! :D This is the motorbike that the characters in my personal project make together.
It is a means of transportation that allows them to get to volcanos up close to facilitate collecting samples and monitoring its behaviour. >
🥰😘
Next I am going to put a proper call out sheet together, so that I can properly model it in 3D (send help!).
Also I am available for work, so if you need an artist with a 10/10 pun game, drop me a line!
WIP! Currently designing the bike that Robin and Talia build in my personal project "Clouded Judgement".
I have always liked mechs, but have not dived in too much into it before. Well now's the time and I am having a lot of fun getting WAY too tangled in the physics and feasibility of it! >
If you are planning on using a large set up (tripod and wet media), we recommend also bringing materials that can be used indoors (paper and pencil/pens, etc...), as a back up.
See you all there!
