I do an oil painting at a local festival every year, here is this years painting demo. I couldn't decide which skull I wanted to paint, so I tried to paint both. A baby goat and raven skull I found in the woods foraging over the past years.

An oil painting of two skulls. One is a baby goat skull, the other one on the bottom is a raven skull. Hexagonal dice on the bottom left read 2, 2 and 2, respectively.

Here's an interior TTRPG indie artwork I made... circa 2011 or so?

An ink style drawing of two people in medieval style attire in a forest setting. A man lies on the ground, recently slain, while a woman cries over his body holding a sword. A valkyrie made of light is touching her shoulder.

I hope everyone is having as good of a holiday season as they can. Here's a little 6x6" oil painting I made for fun of some perfectly preserved pie. One small thing I'm looking forward to next year is season 2 of Fallout.

A 6x6" oil painting of a slice of perfectly preserved pie from the Fallout franchise. It has delicious red glazing with a yellowish whipped cream topping, with a blue ellipse and white backdrop.
