a digital painting of a flight attendant demonstrating the use of a life jacket, but she’s standing on the wing of the plane, in the air, defying gravity. the plane is tilting towards the earth, and below her all that is visible is a repeating grid of red-roofed city blocks extending to infinity. the city is loosely inspired by barcelona

a digital painting of a brightly lit medieval-looking hall with white walls and high ceilings, and row upon row of nuns clad in white sitting at long dinner tables. they are all sitting solemnly, save for one nun in black, who’s standing in the center, looking past the edge of the canvas with an intense look of defiance.

a digital illustration in a pop art style of a nun floating in front of a stack of monitors. she’s covering her ears and recoiling in anguish. the screen are stacked resembling a pane of stained glass, with the colors in a gradient from pink to lime green, and imagery of realistic eyes, snakes, apples, etc.

Little Tunny 🐌🤝🧂 @littletunny.bsky.social · 6d

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

Outdoor paintings from a recent visit to Seattle- with this batch I’ve also managed to make over 100 plein air paintings this year! I feel I’m finally starting to get a decent workflow down, and to understand the kinds of compositions I wanna look for when I’m outside painting! #pleinair #oilpaint

20 oil paintings of various scenes in and around Seattle.
