🦩 Faux-mingo is here to crash the party—bold, buoyant, & blissfully unaware he's not quite like the others.

This piece started as a silly idea & quickly turned into one of my favorites. A reminder that blending in is overrated—float your own way.💕

👁️ Back at it with a fresh eye — literally.
It’s been a minute since I posted. Life’s been life-ing, but I’m still painting, still pushing. Swipe to see the timelapse — proof I haven’t vanished, just been deep in the zone 🎨

Biscuit and I just passed a little kid walking with his dad and playing "Whats Up (What's Going On) and singing along at the top of his lungs. I just imagined it started "5 years and my life is still..." lol

Martini with a Twist brings summer fun to prints, cards, & totes! A surreal splash of beach vibes & cocktail whimsy. #SummerVibes #MartiniWithATwist #CoastalArt #WhimsicalArt #BeachVibes

Took Biscuit to a dog-friendly patio last night. He found a joint roach & got really sick — seizure-like tremors, vomiting, & lethargy. URvet Care helped. He’s better today, but it was scary. Watch your pups out there. ❤️‍🩹🐾

The Last Dance.
A matador frozen mid-step, crimson cape trailing like smoke.
Painted to the rhythm of Malagueña, where beauty meets danger in silence.
Now available as a fine art and canvas print.

Happy Memorial Day. Honoring those who gave everything.

Meanwhile, Pippin’s supervising this matador painting—clearly has notes.

🎭 Tears of the Fool
There’s sorrow beneath the silk.

This harlequin doesn’t laugh—but watches, endures, and remembers. Theatrics fade. What’s left is the quiet ache behind the mask.

🖼️ Available as a fine art print on paper or canvas

Finally free & ready to strut his stuff. Nothing but fresh air, wagging tail, & that "walking the dog" swagger. 🐶🌞

Poor Biscuit had a ruff day — neuter surgery & baby tooth extractions all at once. He’s resting up like a champ in his cone of courage. Big snuggles & soft blankets only from here on out.
Sending healing vibes to our brave little buddy!

Serenity
A breath, a pause, a quiet moment before the next wave.
This new piece is about stillness - the kind that feels like a soft reset for the soul.

Available soon. Stay tuned. 🌟

Rainy mornings were made for this.
Biscuit curled up in my lap, the sound of rain outside, and absolutely no plans to move anytime soon. Sometimes the best thing you can do is stay right where you are.

📽 Watch it build - layer by layer. This piece is about rage - raw, untamed, & unapologetic. Not the tantrum kind, but the deep-simmering, soul-rattling fire kind. This is how emotion looks in motion🔥 Starting a new collection

Wild how people will believe things they can’t see—love, faith, even Wi-Fi—but fear/hate what they don’t understand. It’s not the unseen that’s the problem, it’s the unfamiliar. Imagine if we approached the unknown with curiosity instead of judgment. What a softer world that would be. #openmind

Meet my assistants: Pippin the cat (Quality Control Supervisor) and Biscuit the puppy (Snack Distraction Specialist).

Naturally, I had to immortalize them in colored pencil—because who could resist those faces?

I make art inspired by animals, mischief, and the occasional nap break. Come hang out.

👋 I’m Justin—NYC-based artist making moody portraits that blend people with places.
