Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Don’t support big company. Big company don’t like you. Support small artist. Or just save your money.

I always stop to look at this tree on my daily walk, it was about time I painted it! :)

We're not anti-tech, we're anti-theft. If the future of “innovation” depends on stealing creators’ work without asking or paying, that’s not progress - it's stealing, and we shouldn’t accept it. #StealingIsntInnovation www.stealingisntinnovation.com/

Little #WIP for today. Badass #unicorn is on it's way to save the day!
Is it too muscular, what do you think?

I just learned about the current #EraserArtist Trend on TikTok. Considering that there a AIs now, which can give you a fake speedpaint video I really wonder ...
...
Why do people so desperately want to pose as an artist?
Instead of putting so much work into faking you could just .. learn instead?

Hi #portfolioday!

I'm a fantasy animal artist. Not currently available for work, but keeping my name out there for the future. :)
A dragon eating from a bird feeder. A great tit and Eurasian nuthatch patiently await their turn. My character Aurean (a four-horned sheep/goat/camel) making an orange grow faster inside a massive greenhouse. My character Amnis (fantasy fish/shark) doing a 'cannonball' off a tropical cliff. A stag beetle with kintsugi patterns over his body, shedding specks of gold as he spreads his wings.

I'm way too happy that he's finally done, so a few pics of my new masterpiece for years, before taking him outdoor for more pics 🥳

Take care of yourself, and always look for ways to squeeze some fun out of each piece, even a commission.

Your art will always reflect your state of being when you were making it

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times

Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:

Let's start our ride into 2026 with a smol acrylic on canvas board. #traditionalArt

This tiny piece means a lot to me because I did it with my daughter in mind. Her chinese zodiac is a rabbit and it fits her so incredibly well. Very bouncy, always dancing an singing. But she's the cutest napping.

Progress!
Also, this isn't a clean brush, but I was using a lot of medium here so it looks a bit ridiculous...
A picture of an acrylic illustration on paper, still unfinished, and shown at an angle. We're zoomed in on a close-up of a character's face, with a second character barely visible in the background. The overall color palette focuses on graytones and blacks. The character in focus has Korean features, black hair that falls below the top of his ear, and a scar over the left side of his lips. A small paint brush is pointed at his face, with just a hint of acrylic paint and transparent matte medium on it to smoothen out blending.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.
