https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsUN9tjDrV/?igshid=1nu40f3ggoy1u I want to share my newest obsession of late: making easy digital abstract paintings in Adobe Fresco. They’re relaxing to create compared to the more thought-out illustrations and comics. I often make these in 10 minutes while my drawing students work on the gesture warm-ups at the beginning of class. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEs5fD0jalJ/?igshid=o3r4b5n3a25k I’m planning to...

New Art: Entranced (Venus Art Show, part 2)
Remember when I was working on a new painting for the Venus Show? I sent it off earlier this week! The show opens this Saturday at La Bodega. I'm excited to participate in the exhibition with so many talented artists. I did not photograph the process very much towards the last half. I was worried... Continue Reading →
Venus Art Show part 1
I seem to do this thing where I let an upcoming art exhibition I've been invited to sneak up on me and then I have to hustle in order to get things done.

“Alchemy” Process Post
Continuing my side project of updating some favorite older works to new digital sketches, I returned to this goodie. This sketch was done several years back (2015?) when I was working on a hashtag project. I think it was 100 days project. I definitely did not get to 100 days of any sketching by any...

“Funeral” Process post
"Funeral" is an image idea that I keep going back to. It first started as an inktober sketch. I created this inked piece using collage as the base for the drawing. There were a lot of visual issues with the sketch, but I liked the process of making it that I wanted to reattempt it... Continue Reading →
From the Archives: Snow Magic
Snow Magic Snow Magic was a small artwork I made for an aviary fundraiser in 2017. It sold right away, but it's one of my favorites. I made a time-lapse video of the process that I've shown before, but have now re-edited it with Adobe Spark (loving that program more and more): https://youtu.be/zgVQwbQ-aSA In... Continue Reading →

I felt that if I could produce quick paintings I would level up immensely and become a speedy, efficient painter able to whip out art projects left and right. If time managment could be personified into a... Continue Reading →
