Getting painterly in Substance 3D Painter! I developed this technique for our Lightbox Mural “Not Dinner” and had too much fun hand painting. Love this technique! Hope this inspires you as much as it inspired me!

Happy Painting ❤️

Lunch was good but the back alley walk to the car was better. Look at this beauty 😍

Post your popular art from Twitter!

As soon as I saw Christopher Dean’s take on Sarah Conradsen’s Medusa sculpt I immediately wanted to texture her. So much fun with this one!

but don’t look too close 😅

Had the chance to tour the new @gnomonschool.bsky.social campus yesterday & walked away feeling inspired! Still has the feeling of the old campus but a new, beautiful space for incoming Creatives 🙌

I spent way too much time in the classroom full of clay 😍 Please tag the artists if you know em!
