Got a big metal rack for paper, for free, from a local shop!
It only holds up to letter size papers, but I have plans to use it for drying/storing smaller painted projects like smaller watercolor pieces, greeting cards, & lino cut prints.
So I'm reorganizing my entire art room to make it work.

US customers: contrary to what you might have heard, art and books from the UK are still TARIFF-FREE! Plus, all import duties are pre-paid by me, so you WON’T have to pay any extra!
It’s proving hard to get this message out there, so if you could please repost this. 🙏

Just got back from the UK.
It made me appreciate the dry Utah air.
I was welcomed home to light switches and kitchen appliances giving me static electric shocks all day and I still appreciate not having everything be constantly damp.
But sea level sure felt good to breathe.

As a kid, I was taught that Columbus was guided by god, his actions part of prophecy (in the Book of Mormon). Apparently the Book of Mormon was written during a time when America was really into him.
There was a lot of untangling of gross religious assertions from the actual history when I left.

Canva bought Serif (Affinity Suite graphics software) last year.
It took a while, but it seems like it's finally being visibly mismanaged.
They're shutting down the support forums and moved to a discord server with little/no moderation.
They closed their store. You can't even buy their software.

I can focus a lot better now that the weather is cooler. What a difference that makes!
Also, Procreate's new update brought some really fun brushes with it, so I'm excited to play around with those.
Should have something to share by end of week. :)

This was really cool and I'm impatiently waiting for more.
Every scene is a joy to watch--
The colors, the character designs, the world design. It's all so good. The voice acting is great too.

Playing the "Am I getting sick or is this just long covid playing its games?" the entire week. I'd been doing a bit better for a while, and now everything feels flu-like again.
Is it related to the dozens of mosquito bites I've had? Who knows?
The only certain thing is that something is off.

The best way to spot glaring errors in your art is to flip the canvas. The second best way is to post it online with a caption about how proud you are of it.

We have a smart rooftop weather station, and it makes me happy to watch the notifications for lightning detected getting closer as storms approach.
If we're really lucky, we get rain with the storms.
I've been in Utah a decade and warm storms are still weird to me. Very different from the PNW!

So, in addition to the hot reeking pile of bullshit that all of this is... It also looks like a really bad temu AI version of the Mormon painter Arnold Friberg's painting, "The Prayer at Valley Forge."

Recently, whenever I get bitten by mosquitoes, the bumps get bigger than previous attacks. They're huge.
City is projecting an increase in mosquitoes over the next 2 weeks here. And West Nile virus has been confirmed in town.
And they're out even at the peak temp during the day.
I miss winter.

I'm taking inspiration for my newest painting from a recent painting - "Hidden Gate of the Mountain". I think I just haven't gotten this mood out of my system and I needed to paint it bigger! Then again I live in the PNW, this type of landscape will always be a favorite of mine 💚☁️⛰️🌲

You want marketing for your game/book/thing?
Go commission an artist to do some fanart of it. Like give them some materials and then let them draw whatever fanart they want, cute doodles, a big finished illustration, whatever.
This is so woefully underutilized!! I want to do this lol
