a mostly monochrome freehand digital painting of Adam Driver, leaning forward, hair teased into wind-tousled tangles, forehead lightly furrowed, brows gently knitted above a sharply focused magnetic gaze, the keel of his nose leading our eyes past cheeks slackened by the soft set of his mouth, lips pursed under the soft scruff of his mustache, chin wreathed in whiskers, hands lightly furred with fine hairs grasping at the collar of the cable knit sweater swathing him.

Watching Bake-Off as a Yank is so awesome. You can understand what they call pudding, biscuits, etc. but suddenly they’re saying, “Toby’s cake will have all the classic Gingham Day flavors, in the form of Swat the Grump,” and then they make like a carnival game where you shoot lobsters with a cannon

A monochromatic freehand digital painting of Adam Driver, lean-cheeked and clean shaven, hair in a neatly arranged, slightly shaggy bob, a coy tilt to his head, a twinkle in his eye, and a winsome smile curving his lips and rumpling his dimples as he tickles both the ivories at his fingertips and our sense of humor during his 2023 SNL monologue to Santa.

(this one was a special request from @hedgehoggled.bsky.social for her birthday!)

A freehand monochromatic digital painting of Adam Driver, hair in gentle disarray, eyes sparkling with good humor, mouth quirked in the slightest of crooked almost-smiles, lips and chin wreathed by the soft brush of his short whiskers, skin generously spangled by the constellations of his moles & freckles.

(this is another one that you WANT to see the full size image at the essay. trust me)

a mostly monochrome freehand digital painting of Adam Driver, the long damp tangles of his hair spangled with rain, the faintest of frowns furrowing his brow, the weight of his serious gaze cast back over his left shoulder, mouth gently set, the soft bristles of his bearded chin brushing the fleecy edge of his water-dotted leather motorcycle jacket’s fur collar as a single drop of water trembles on the very tip of his nose.

a mostly monochrome freehand digital painting of Adam Driver, caught in a contemplative moment, right shoulder dipped down as his face is tipped up and to his left, brow gently knitted over a distant gaze as he searches for the words to express his thoughts, mouth pursed, his lips and chin wreathed by the soft brush of his beard, the strong column of his neck framed by the curls of his hair kissing the open collar of his shirt.

"moved" does not begin to describe how I felt upon seeing this portrait, reading the accompanying essay, and realizing that it was gifted to me

my mind is boggled and amazed (as always) by @altocello.bsky.social's talent, and my heart is deeply blessed to be able to call her my friend

A freehand digital painting of Adam Driver as Ben Solo, vividly lit in contrasting cool blues, warm oranges, and bright yellows, hair in damp spiky tendrils, brow gently knitted above a hopeful, distant gaze, mouth set softly, chin lifted in gentle defiance above a confident chest, strong shoulders held wide.

"Adam Driver #148 (US Open, 5 Sep 2025)"
digital painting / #art / #AdamDriver
read the essay here: buff.ly/UGsN8w5
or on ao3 here: buff.ly/Z5UwVlN

A bearded and bespectacled Adam, eyes and shoulders slanted as he leans to his left, wedding ring winking on his finger and watch glinting on his wrist as he lifts his hand to partially hide the wide smile crinkling his crow’s feet and carving the furrows of his dimples as it reveals his perfectly imperfect teeth.

a close up of the larger portrait, focused on his eyes and nose. there's a peek of his fingertips and the lower half of his right ear, which is revealed by the shorter haircut he's sporting. Adam is wearing his glasses and his eyes have gone all crinkly from the depth of his smile.

a closeup of the larger portait, focused on his mouth, chin, and left hand. Adam's toothy smile is so wide you can see a glint off of his first molar. He's scruffier than usual; he was growing out his side beard as best he could, along with his typical between-jobs Van Dyke. He's holding his left hand up such that we're looking at the outer blade and back of his hand, the valleys of the veins and tendons rumpled across it, his wedding band winking on his finger.

I was so enamored by Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein's Creature that I've been making my way through his filmography over the last couple weeks

just finished the second episode of The Narrow Road to the Deep North & a warning/FYI:

it's about as pleasant as watching Adam Driver in 'Silence'

but the thing that really got me was that unexpectedly gentle, soft spoken voice?!?!?
