🎨🎁 Why not shop small this season, and support an independent artist instead of multi-billionaires?

LOTS of new #artforsale in my shop, priced to sell! You can buy a piece & then watch how it was made in real-time on Gab 'n' Doodle, or vice-versa (related info in the comments ⬇️)

What do u get when u put 4 genius artists on the same game show? Probably a lot of great art & smart insight. Instead of that u should watch 4 illustrators being idiots on Game ‘n’ Doodle

On Thurs @ 6pm we’ll play silly #drawinggames. We need YOU the viewers to score the rounds! #kidlitart #artgame

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! My wife @mrshoffy made this, in a labor of love. I got her a green screen as an early XMas gift.

Two dogs dressed up as characters from the movie a Christmas story. One is dressed in a pink bunny costume. The other has a fishnet shirt on and a lampshade on her head. They are Photoshopped onto a stairway background from the movie.

Are you good at building things? What’s the last thing you built? Or are you inept when it comes to constructing something. I’ve made some furniture, but none of it is super complex.
