Artist who is haunted by images of things like squids in sweater vests and must get them out.
I work with every medium I can get my hands on.

After a little break from painting, I finally recovered some urge to do it. So have a little portrait I thought up. “Gazing Skyward” acrylic on cardboard

I like a friend shaped dog. Portrait of such a beast, in colored pencil and marker.

A little experiment with light, contrast, and with marker, which I haven’t used in a very long while. I think her name would be something like “Flo the Suspicious Waitress” #sharpie #ink #originalart #traditionalart #marker #drawing #oc #art

I always save my sketchbooks, but only recently did I flip through the piles of random doodles and drawings going back to 7th grade.
This collage is an amalgamation of a decade of drawings, and quite a lot of memories on one wall. #originalart #collage #traditionalart #mixedmedia #collageart #artist

Original portrait, acrylic on wood.
I had an old piece of furniture of unknown purpose, which I wanted for art stuff. This one was a challenge with the rough surface and angle I had to paint at, but I think it gives it character. #originalart #painting #acrylic #renaissanceart #traditionalart #art

My art room has been a major project for a long time. My old record player was busted beyond repair, so it got a new paint job & I gutted it to upholster the inside. It now serves purpose again as a storage bin that matches the theme.

Executioner Smough
Out of all the characters I have really seen in these games, I have always felt a draw to Smough’s design. Something about him is so jarring and unique. #fanart #coloredpencils #traditionalart #darksouls #eldenring #videogames #drawing

This is the first finished oil piece I’ve done, which has turned 4 years old. I reckon it is inspiring me to do more animal subjects, which I am excited about.

An original portrait I drew in an attempt to capture not just anger, but real rage, which is not a common subject for me. Cut it out and hung it, which makes for a conversation piece at least.
