LA Apparel phasing out 2XLs in their ladies clothing is crazy when everything they have already runs super small

Nothing makes me want to be more femme than Magic tbh
So here’s very literal sleeves for my black blue fairy tribal deck

#mtg #magicthegathering #customsleeves #commander #butterfly #bitterblossom #digitalart #art
A hand with black nail polish holds three sleeved cards in front of a full deck of magic the gathering cards. The sleeves are black fading down to a royal blue with a butterfly at the center in a sharp pattern of thick lines based on the 90s tribal tattoo style. There is a similar filigree of thinner tribal lines around the butterflies.

The whole tiktokification of social media pushing videos + pushing snap stories + always changing the uncut dimensions just feels like it’s meant to waste everyone’s time 😩

Comedians are comics
Comics are made by cartoonists
Cartoons are made by animators
Anyone can be animated or animated

Of course English is hard

I put a lot of thought into (most) of these tattoos
Most importantly, that horseshoe is absolutely there for Barbie Horse Adventure

#art #illustration #barbie #pinup
Pinup of Barbie in a bikini reading on a beach towel. She has her hair pulled back into a high pony tail with undercut shaved area. Her sunglasses sit on top while she blows a bubble. Barbie is drawn in a hot pink outline with a solid white fill and black tattoos all over her body. Her tattoos include the following: A small black heart on her cheek. A glowing diamond neck tat. From her shoulder down her arm there is a bow, a heart with a banner labeled Ken, a rose, a snake, scissors and a tube of lipstick. She has a dagger on her sternum. A death moth on her ribs. 1959 above her hip. A horseshoe on her butt. On her right leg descending: Barbie dream house, a teacup, candy hearts, a mermaid pin up based on the classic Barbie design, another Barbie pin up of the original bathing suit, a heart shaped lollipop. On her other leg there’s a kiss mark and koi fish swimming in a circle to represent Pisces.

My last contribution to a Philly Soapbox calendar and my first rainbow roll!

#art #illustration #deer #screenprinting #printmaking
A screenprint of the profile of a crying deer with the eye repeated in an arc in front of it. The borders contain white outlines of flowers. The entire image is a single layer of ink with a rainbow roll gradient with metallic gold at the bottom going to a bright red then a darker red by the top. The same screenprint, but duplicates spread out to show multiple

Long, long ago I put together a cover for the summer edition of a small poetry zine. This deer hasn’t left my head since.

#art #illustration #surrealism
A magazine cover reading “Pretty Owl Poetry” in a white serif across the top in a black bar. Two orange rabbits with blank eyes run into the foreground; the closest rabbit has a stolen halo in its mouth. The rabbits are running from a massive, ominous deer with a long, looping, serpent like body punctuated by curled up legs. The dear extends off the page and loops into the foreground, implying its tangle of a body is even larger than what is fit into frame. The artwork features ink outlines that thicken where there would be shadows. The color has a watercolor texture to it, going from a green shadow under the floating deer mass, and fading to yellow with distance from it.

To finish these before I moved, I had to lay down 3 colors the same day I had flu and covid shots. 300 pulls later, I went home and I just about slept on the floor. My arms were aching for days 💀

#art #screenprinting #printmaking #illustration #bullterrier
Three mint green pieces of paper on a black wood background. Each is a 5 layer screen print featuring a green, alien looking bull terrier being looked at by two neon pink sphinx cats. The foreground and background surrounding them is full of succulents, cactuses, flytraps, monstera leaves, and flowers. Everything is a living earth thing with an unusual “alien” quality to it, in part due to the green color palette. Of course, none of these things are truly strange, especially if you see them everyday. It’s essentially just a picture of a home filled with plants and pets.

Blood or no blood?

25 hours and a lot of stippling later, my angry little valentines’ piece

#art #valentines #cupid #cherub #digitalart #procreate
Bright pink background. At the center, a stippled illustration of a stone cherub with wings, a sour expression, and an arrow in its hand. The cherub leans on one hand, resting above the words “Method Ink” written in a gothic black letter font, styled to look like 3D stone carving. The same image, but with blood dripping off the arrow, and blood splatter on the bottom right of the text.
