🌾 Hey #PortfolioDay ! 🌾

I’m Chris, I’m a printmaker and digital illustrator focusing on animals and natural imagery, with inspiration from ancient art and Cherokee culture

A digital reductive illustration of a turkey vulture in a variety of poses and expressions A woodcut print of a decapitated coyote-headed person, muzzling their own snarling severed head. A digital reductive illustration of a star-marked frog forcing the sun into its mouth. Below it, written in Cherokee syllabary, reads ‘Walosi egwa tsagisgei nvda iga ehi’ A woodcut print of a bull with inverse colored rings radiating out from its eye, creating a bullseye pattern

For #ArtAdventCalendar day 8, this Turkey Vulture who is beautiful and charming. Everyone should love Turkey Vultures more than they already do, and for some of you that's quite a lot, I know!

🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt
Digital illustration of a Turkey Vulture in warm late afternoon sunlight. This vulture's head feathers are tugged up against the evening chill, making it look like it's wearing a cute, snuggly, feathery hoodie. It has an unfeathered pink face, white beak, and purple-copper body feathers. Waymakers 2024 for cassalalia

Another last minute portrait, this of my friend, Chris. I was glad I could capture him smiling as he does that a lot. Pencil, Procreate, Affinity Designer. NO AI, tracing. (someone asked).

Just a quick, more realistic sketch of Silas from "The City Silent."

A few more from the past. 'Mosh' might have been one of my first tries with graffiti. I know I gave away the two cheetahs. The other two I think got tossed. Such is life. All were acrylic on panel, 16x20.

Kelpie firing process, my half of a trade with @skippylynn.bsky.social !!
I’ll get some proper photos of the finished piece later, I just love seeing what the fire does to these sculpts. It’s a surprise every time !

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

RBs on this post are really appreciated <3
A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text". "After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now." I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated. 1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me! 2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season! 3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think! A screenshot of TeleKitnetic's ko-fi shop.

don’t want it
won’t need that
won’t feed it
A digital color illustration of a wolverine with mouth open, a bright red fruit on its tongue. It is drooling and snarling, but its expression is slightly pained and its teeth are worn, broken, and rotting. A glow comes from its throat.
