Sneak peek at a new technique I'm using for a comic that will debut at the @shortrunseattle

This scribbly ghostly mess will ultimately be a full-color twelve page comic book.

Trying to finish work for that while also moving!

Well, my "Hannibal" piece didn't get accepted to Banquet, which sucks because I worked really hard on this and I think it turned out really well.

On the positive side, I have an illustration that I worked really hard on and it turned out really well!

I was inspired by sweetmeats -- food made from offal, such as intestines, testicles and the thymus -- and floral china plates.

Also, I learned that Hugh Dancy is really fucking hard to draw. Mads Mikkelsen has such a distinctive face that he's rather easy to draw, but with Hugh, if you get some detail just a little bit off, it doesn't look like him anymore.

I always forget that contour drawing is, like, actually a good warm up.

I’m sorry for ever complaining about your Drawing I and Drawing II classes, Ms. Miller.

30 seconds, 1 min, 2 min.

I was posting art online back in the days of Elfwood, before Deviantart, so I’ve been around to watch the internet social rules of interacting with art posts shift over time.

Lemme tell you: Reblogs make me happy, but comments fill me with JOY. Whether it’s on the reblog or in the tags, even if it’s as simple as “I like this,” that means so much to me.

I can imagine there are a lot of artists in a position similar to mine: Working a full-time non-art job, with little time or opportunity to interact with IRL art communities. I was in art school for many many years, and I didn’t realize how important it was to receive feedback on my art until I wasn’t getting it anymore.

One of the things I’m trying to do, over on my bsky and my sideblog, is to leave a comment of some kind when I reblog another artist’s work. I know it means a lot to me, so I want to give that to artists whose work I enjoy.

To everyone who leaves comments on my art, even goofy stuff in their tags: I do see it, I do read it, and thank you so much!

To people who leave comments in the tags that say stuff like “this is so weird” or “why did they make the characters so ugly”: Please go look at more art and develop a broader palette. Maybe watch Simon Schama’s “The Power of Art” miniseries, as a fun way to learn some art history and theory.

Some little OOTD-doodles

My dad once said I dress like a “Norwegian fisherman who’s let himself go” and I’m okay with that.

My first truly articulated doll, capable of standing and posing!

The Artistic Process

I’m here, I’m queer, and I’m gonna put my little gay hands all over everything.

Also, here’s an interview of me by Devon Douglas-Bowers of the Hampton Institute

Aaah! My first risograph printed collection of portraits!

Slap Your Cheeks for Color -- $12.50

A collection of 16 portraits. Due to the nature of risograph printing, each print is slightly different, making each zine a unique art piece.

This is the first in a trilogy that I hope to print and take to the Seattle Short Run. Orders of this collection help fund printing for the others!

Printing services by the wonderful Colour Code Printing, who did a bang up job and were incredibly helpful with talking me through formatting.

Did I tell myself I would wait to post these until I’d completed a couple more pages? Yes. Did I get impatient and post them anyway? Yes.
