Had to do a couple of small pieces to warm up the new studio. "Dropping In" and "Stellar's Jay Study 2026". Both are watercolor over pointlissm.
Fucking depression, death, life in general kicking my ass, but I can't let the world keep me down. Clawing my way back one brush stroke at a time.

So excited that my fanart for The Lands Remaining is in the latest issue of Sprigs and Kindling. Thank you @iamatrex.com for the patience while I got over COVID and moved halfway across the country.

@jasoncordova.bsky.social - hope you dig her - I adore this baddie.

I'm not saying this political landscape drove me to bum a smoke, but fuck it all. Between my meds making me constantly sick and the world crumbling apart, I wanted a bit of teenage me back for a moment.

I am in a very precarious headspace. Not doing well, and needed to draw something light and non-committal. Here's a robot.

Sometimes you need to sit on a digital illustration for a bit, just like traditional painting, to figure out what it needs. I'm much happier with this crow now. New one on the right. Which do you prefer?

Added more color pop to this piece. Which version do you prefer? New one on the right.

I feel like I'm slouching t'wards Bethlehem with this piece - more progress.

Having a hard time thinking straight today - scattered. Was inspired by Stephan Gesell's amazing photography. Early stage wip

Little doodle from this morning. Today is an organizational day, so not a lot of room for creation. It's more about making sure creation can come more readily.

Had to stop by the house of a former abuser to pick up a package that was botched in FedEx transit. He did not speak, though he waved and smiled as I gathered my parcel. I did not reciprocate the pleasantries.

He looked old and soft and miserable, which suits me just fine.

Continuing to be inspired by a thing that does not exist.

I am haunted, by life, by loss, by trauma, by the other ghosts that reside within me.

This was before seeing The Long Walk yesterday. There is no after photo, because me and ugly crying don't make for great pictures.

King by way of LeGuin. That kind of story has always been where King excelled. No ghosts or jump scares. Just heartache and pain that rings true.

When I first started playing #TheBetween, my selkie was very much "oooh, what's a bicycle?". Morgan Dandridge is now a destructive, blood-thirsty, sexually omnivorous force with little regard for "humans". Playing with no Masks left is liberating. 🤣

Hornet had to be next. Though I've worked with a tablet before in limited capacity, I feel like these last two digital illustrations have genuinely been my first completed pieces. No AI. Just me, Photoshop, and a tablet.

Traditionally a watercolor artist, and never really one to "take" to digital art, but it is currently the only medium I can indulge in since it requires minimal arm motions while I'm still a series of tubes and wires and bindings.

24 hours later - pain is pretty manageable, though activities are really limited to laying down with short walks.

Here's me, doing my best cyborg impression.

FTM top surgery this Friday - I can't believe that this day is so close! My brain is already there - keeping a tether to the "present" is going to be a struggle this week, but in a good way.

Here's a unicorn that just wants to touch your brain whispies...

I've been quiet - times are tough, but I've made space to keep creating in between things I can't yet share. Here is "Triptych" - a surreal take on bluejays. #watercolor #bluejays #birdart #birdpainting #madebyahuman

Looking for a home.
