A little recap of some of the art I've made and published this year! Plenty of portraits, and I'm also getting into painting backgrounds of places I've been!

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

Ranunculus flowers I drew as part of a gift for my friend! I couldn't decide between the cultivated or wild versions, so I (an overachiever) decided to draw both.
Thank goodness for the lasso tool, or I would have no idea how to paint them!
