I post about what I've been working on, and what I've been seeing in the world.

Color photo. A brilliant green fern, growing from a raised planter, at the front left. Another plant, with mostly red leaves, grows behind it. The planter recedes into the background to the right. It has many other plants in it, blurred so that only the fern in front is sharp.

Despite having lived here for 13 years now, I only recently visited the Central Library in downtown Seattle for the first time...

Color photo. Two mailing labels, white with a thin blue and red strip along the top, pasted next to each other on a metal railing. On them has been written a poem: I miss my mothers cold arms that knew only to survive. Love was merely a tolerance to keep. I grew and grew, only knowing how to be dependant. Looking for love became a selfish act unlike the nature that surrounds my heart and soul, from which I foolishly didn't learn from. And now I sit here finally growing into my own arms so that I too can warm you one day again. Jose D A

Just a little sketch, trying to explore relationships between compositional elements & storytelling while maintaining believable light & textures.

As always, painted by a human. 💚

#digitalpainting #desertart #sketch
A painting of a sandy desert with distant mountains, rendered in pale light blues and yellow-oranges. In the midground, at an angle, sits an iron cage, large enough to hold a human. A human seems to be in it too, seated on the ground, though it is unclear whether they are still alive. In the foreground, partially buried by sand, are a wooden bucket and an iron ladle leaning against it. Between the foreground and midground, the heat of the day creates a watery mirage that reflects the cage.

"Is this farewell?"

Some Endai concept art today!

As always, painted by a human. 💚

A man in a white robe sits huddled against the cold--or against his own anxiety--while bathed in blue moonlight. He faces right, and light catches through his pointed ear. His breath mists as he speaks. In the foreground, a person in red, in warmer light, seems to hesitate, stopped by the man's words. We see only their side and their hand.

Lots of cold, bright mornings around here lately, which means I've been waking up to sights like this...

Color photo. Grass with frozen dewdrops. The grass along the bottom of the photo is in focus, and mostly in shadow. Beyond, the grass is softly out of focus and in dappled sunlight. Wherever the light hits, frost breaks the light into spots of color across the spectrum.

Sometimes what we think we see is actually something else.  It's a matter of perspective.

Can you tell how that applies here?  :)

Color photo. A line of trees with bare branches. The tops of the trees are golden, catching sunlight from out of frame, while the trunks are in shadow. The sky is dark blue, and empty of clouds.

Color photo. Sunset. Framed by trees on all four sides, Puget Sound is seen, with the setting sun just above the silhouettes of the Olympic Mountains on the far side. The sky, golden near the sun and quickly shading to dark blue further away, is filled with wispy clouds.

Black and white photo. A darkened street at night, in the fog. Street lights cast beams of light down, clearly visible as they catch the mist. The street is lined with parked cars. Dark trees and telephone poles are barely visible, black against a dark sky.

Color photo. Interior of The Waterwheel, a Seattle dive bar. It is packed full of people, sitting at tables and the bar, and many just standing. It is lit by strings of Christmas lights hanging from the wooden ceiling beams, from which tinsel garlands and wreaths also hang.

Color photo. A kinetic sculpture made of many pieces of colored glass arranged to move and spin as the wind blows them, at the top of a metal spire. The sky behind is filled with dark clouds at the bottom, through which yellow sunlight filters. Above, the dark blue sky is full of wispy white clouds.

Color photo. A man in a cat costume consisting of a fuzzy white vest, red cat ears, and fuzzy red cat paw gloves. He has a goofy expression on his face. To the right, an long haired woman with fangs bared. To the left, another woman looks on with an expression of mixed confusion and disgust. Behind them, in the dark, a group of people look on.

I haven't been getting out much to shoot recently, despite Autumn being my favorite time of the year...

Color photo. A long wooden pier crosses the bottom of the frame diagonally, above softly rippling water reflecting it. A person in blue knee length tights and a red long sleeved shirt is walking away from the viewer along the pier. At the end of the pier, the shore is lined with golden trees, with houses on a slope above. The sky is a dark blue with wispy clouds.

Color photo. A thin white waterfall flows down from the top of the photo, over dark brown rocks dotted with small plants. At mid frame it goes behind the rock, only to appear again in the bottom third. It is surrounded by trees in various autumnal hues: yellow, gold, and orange, with s scattering of tall evergreens interspersed.

I took this shot up at Tipsoo Lake the other week and, as soon as I did, I knew it would be the photo I'd post today.

Black and white photo. In the top half of the frame there is a snowy slope, dotted with small dark trees, surrounded by dark trees on all sides. In the middle of this snow field is a tall cluster of dark trees. The bottom half of the frame is water, in which the top half is mirrored.
