October has been crazy! I had 2 workshops, one for the NCAEA (North Carolina Art Educators Association) as a presenter and instructor for art teachers, and another for a grant sponsored teaching series to high schoolers. I felt like I did my gourdly duty sharing the fun that is gourds this month! 😁

Happy birthday! 🎈🎈🎈🎂

Guys, I would like to very unobtrusively remind you that I have a YouTube channel. And it is growing super slowly 😿

I share my speedpaints there. If you would be interested in taking a look at my processes, I would be really happy. Thank you ❤️

A look at the creation of "The Electric Tower".

Amazing! What size pen and brush are those? Impressively tiny detail work.

Pathfinder shenanigans! My friends paladin Albemarle isn't sure how to handle this boggling critter.

Thank you for letting me goof with the sketch
