I'm trying to evolve my inking - explore different methods. Here is another bad day in the bone pile. I haven't been using #hashtags lately and don't know if it makes a difference - social media life seems to have its own rules and I don't know whether or not I should follow them.

Drawing things that don't exist is a good use of time because it requires you to think about what you think it should look like rather than anything else.

Still taking a break from media but poking a bit into the digital stream as poof of life. "Ca plane pour moi" is, for me, an antidote for depression... which is good because there are about 100 different versions of the song in near every musical flavor.

Need to take a break from social media in general and the algorithm that governs all online activity in particular. I'll still be around, probably just lurking in the background.

My father, James Poag, died in his sleep last night at 3 am. I was fortunate to have recently visited him. I present this image that is often connected with Wolfram Von Eschenbach - a medieval poet whom my father studied and wrote about. He will be missed.

Painting from 7 or 8 years ago. One of my worst repeating nightmares are dreams of drowning. I imagine something just pulling me under the waves and the agony of feeling my lungs begin to burst and I just want to wake. I think it is about anxiety. #stefanpoag #illustration #baddreams #300words #noai

Sorcerous energies drained during a long journey across mysterious terrain to the southwest. An hour gained was again lost. Provisions of a poor quality had been unwisely purchased; frequent and desperate stops were needed. I now retreat to my sanctum to rest and recover. #stefanpoag #300words #noai

The best thing about the new pope is that for one day that orange fucker was almost absent from the front pages. Painting is probably unrelated although a big hand that takes everything probably tells it’s own story. #stefanpoag #illustration #acrylicpainting #fantasyart #weirdfantasy

As a follow up to yesterday’s post, here’s another hell scene drawn by me for Goodman games in 2024. I think I have some sort of unhealthy and unrealistic expectation that the guilty will be punished… It is nice to dream. #stefanpoag #illustration #penandink #noai #fuckai #traditionalmedia #300words

I’m still out on the road and away from the studio so l have nothing of my own to show but here is a painting I have not seen in person by Giovanni Da Modena from 1410 I think - I would love to go to Bologna and see it in person. #stefanpoag #hell #devils #goodart #noai
