This is why I love living here in Vancouver. These are all pictures from today, February 11, the middle of winter. 😍

I was going to start a slightly larger drawing but Rupert told me that it is in fact time to pay attention to the cat.

Yeah I’m liking these. I think I (as I’ve said) need to be more patient though. And whereas I like this (it’s super cute!) I keep thinking how if I went for hard edged lights/shadows and then add details it might be even more cute?

Am I entering a cute phase? Do I make cute art now?

Age verification? My first adult telephone number only had seven digits.
Age verification?

One time I left my ID at home and the bar bouncer had me sing the Tundercats theme song to prove my age
Age verification?

I used floppy discs to turn in homework

More acrylic paint pen trials. Working so small with such large tips is difficult. I also typically work in a fashion where I blend my colours, so this graphic style is new to me!

I bought myself paint pens. I think this is a great example of social media making something look easy… but it’s not! I think you really have to be patient (not my forte) or you will find the paints/colours get muddled. And I didn’t realize how big a medium tip is.

I do like how prismatic they are!

Ok! So 2 weeks ago my poor stylist hurt her back and we had to move my haircut to today. I thought I’d throw up a before pic!

He doesn’t understand how much he just hurt me. I was just trying to exercise a bit. I guess I’ll take some extra Tylonol today.

Four more Nightmare Buddies!

I tried a few new things, acrylic ink, adding white… I think I like how clear they look on the lighter backgrounds (from a few days ago).

I think I need to be more brave. I’m so scared to just… paint? Which is odd and a new anxiety for me. So! I let myself sketch more nightmare buddies (on the right), I let myself sketch some plants (middle/yellow), but I’m just going to paint florals on the prepped green-gouache (leftmost). #TradArt

Today I painted a series I’m calling “Nightmare Buddies”

Painted with gouache on a watercolour background.

I might continue the series with deeper/richer backgrounds!
