I saw this pencil case on an auction but missed it. It's a vintage one from zigzag. I had one like this & in metallic tube form with a blue alien as well as a kid. If you know where to find this one, tag me!!
Last week I finished S5 of Stranger Things.
Told my friends "I feel like this was AI generated... did they plug the prior scripts into ChatGPT and skip the showbible?"

Today I am sent this meme. Ahhh, what the heck, I can't believe my senses were right. 😂😭

After reading Terryl Whitlatchs book, I spent some time doing creature studies on my own beings. I feel refreshed in my knowledge. 🥰

A group I'm in shared a viral video on oil pastels, so I dug out my old kiddie set. Found a barely used set of vintage Derwent Artists pencils too, in the "arteology" pile. It seems sediment and art supplies share a tendency to layer over time. 🫠
Anyway enjoy some pleasing shots of mediums.

Dared the snowy weather to pick up my new pencil case.
Was getting tired of not finding my various sketching tools. Maybe this will be better?

I'm learning to apply traditional screentones to my comic page. I'm feeling very proud of my achievement. 🥰

My task-list this week includes making an entirely custom font from scratch.
I hope I still have my copy of the program for making them around...

I was watching Jon Laymon Studios video on freehand sculpting a xenomorph alien and I am tempted to try my own hands at polymer clay my own weird beast. 🤔

Just a comic idea that entered my mind.

I toyed around with making myself a con badge! Double laminate, traditional with colored backing.

I'm willing to try my hands at making another cartoon badge for 8️⃣0️⃣$.

Been looking at con badges and contemplating on making them. I have a laminator and the equipment required. 🤔

Commission for cutie-pie elfi. @ youtube!
I loved working on this unique TF2 piece with so many fun elements. 😊
Markers on A5, with sparkly gel pens that shimmer in the sun!

The right painting (pink) was a commission back in 2016 never paid for. I was told my skill wasn't "worth it" to them paying extra to cover their numerous revision requests.

Reworked an old horror piece with new tools. What things do we consume that sickens us? I'm naming this Arf-arf-Arfid.

My day is instantly made better when one of my patrons hits me up in the DMs with this reaction to their order.

Thank you, you know who you are. 😉

Finally finished Stranger Things. And... yeah, the criticism is valid. I am so annoyed over too many things, but I rather laugh at it, so here's a Vecna shitpost.

I am utmost grateful for the people who commissioned me recently - you have afforded me some much needed tool upgrades.
Thank you!! 🥰
