i still don’t know how floor/chalk mural artists do it. the PAIN…. my hamstrings feel like they are coated in molasses and fire ants.

slowly crawling back onto the internet after a month of body horror
i was finally feeling good enough to exercise again and promptly destroyed my body by drawing a bunch of massive jellyfish on the sidewalk in one sitting

imagine what i’d be capable of if all my blood decided my brain was the cool place to be sometimes. i’d be unstoppable

not me in the hospital yet again for another stage 4 hypertensive crisis!!! hahahaha truly a fanciful love affair with having a stroke what can i say

thank you!!! it’s been horribly intimidating so i appreciate any encouragement! 😭♥️

it’s called good taste and great priorities!!!

i’ve spent the last nearly 2 months learning CSP and writing in full a sci-fi horror graphic novel script…should have more to actually show soon. i’d like to have something i can really talk about in the fall. sorry i’ve been such a basket case!

i have no new art to post yet and i have been dodging social media, but i’m still chipping away at my big personal project. i’ve been very bad at answering DMs, here’re pictures of the cats to hopefully make up for it

omg. my cat has the other eyelash. (i love!!!!!!!!)

sometimes when others would tell me the god’n’gabe/swaingel books made them gasp or weep or laugh, i’d feel actual joy course through my veins. making those was the most fun i’ve ever had in my entire artistic career. i want to take at least one more big swing before a job hunt!!!! 💪😤

if i’m able to blast through a bunch of pages by the end of the week, i’m going to start taking it way more seriously. saying this right before diving in to the Real Work. i want to do everything i can to make something *i* want to consume, and i hope that means other people are into it too. 🥺🥺🥺

i’m doing it entirely for me and can’t tell if anyone will like it, and it may all be for naught, but i always feel so so so much pressure to do my very best for other peoples’ projects…i really desperately want to see if i can do it for myself 🥺

🧵 i always space having my bsky but i realized i needed a public forum to say “aloud” that today i am starting the meat of the work for an original graphic novel i plan to make 200+ pages. all my own characters, stories, environments. the works.

danny sexbang enchanting the raleigh crowd with his siren song

just got back from mini-vacay that was the stand-in for my birthday.
went to raleigh to see a show, and i’ve wanted to see Ninja Sex Party for well over a decade. in a sea of 1500 people, i somehow managed to ride the tide and was basically in front near the end.

and i-i saw…i saw…

thumbnail ⏩️ sketch

got some pedro pages sketched out. was completely burnt out of my gouache sketchbook for nearly two months but his cannes look ripped me out of it. i’m
so excited to paint this 👁️👄👁️

it’s so soft and i am completely beside myself, i feel like i’ve found a shiny pokémon

it’s a friggin luna moth yo!!!!

i am in absolute shock. i’d done some research into the local moth populations a ways back, and have desperately tried to find luna moths for years. this morning, for the first time in my life, i saw a live luna moth in the wild!? i thought i was hallucinating! but look!!! 😭😭😭

i finally got through all my out-of-nowhere insane last-minute projects from last month. completely ignored my own birthday in that time so i’m going to just spend the week…being as dumb as life allows me. less brain starting today until like friday…yeah

the sketches i send are unhinged but at least they read as sincere…endlessly grateful for what is oftentimes blind faith in the process

i’ve had a couple of big projects that require all of my time and have wild deadlines. one i had to REALLY quickly piece together, but i’m pleased with how it turned out. impossibly this was an approved sketch, which i explained “please entertain that this is a man’s hand holding a tactical handgun”

cain’s entered senior territory and has been officially put on ocd meds. never too late to pursue your mental health wellness. love my medicated older king

not at all!! i don’t personally have the urge to do this, however i do really like wearing velvet/-like materials. people timidly ask to feel the material pretty often when i’m out. i think the stimulation of expected sensation really scratches some human brains just right

miss you too! so far nothing on the docket, and it hurts my heart. plus side though, i think almost all spn shows are on the east coast, so there may be hope yet!

even if i didn’t have it written down, i’d know it’s con season based solely on the amount of panicked last-minute needs/requests of regulars on the circuit. 😂 i miss everyone very much, and it does warm my heart knowing i still occupy a little dark corner of at least a small group of ppls’ brains.

omg. there’s no way this charm isn’t at LEAST 5-6 years old. heather, i am so incredibly impressed…both by your dedication and charm upkeep, because damn!! 🥹

a genie asks me what my wish is. i say “all i want is paint please” and they mishear it as “pain”. confused, they tell me they can’t fulfill the wish if i already have it and leave

cleaned for 6 hours. did tedious mandatory updates on pc for 6 more hours. didn’t hate self enough, filed own taxes as punishment for freelance work. another 2 hours. i’m finally here

acrylics are akin to EDM and gouache is jimmy buffett and i can’t explain any further than that

after doing so many large acrylic paintings, my love for little gouache paintings in my sketchbook has intensified. distance truly makes the heart grow fonder

i’ve discovered my least favorite work to do on commission is anything animated, and this goes for any project. having to be all the entire staff for a multi-person project ain’t for me anymore. 😩
