Can never get any work done... (Not my original idea. I totally saw someone do this in another vid and thought it was so funny) #jamiroquai
Another 1 hour study of John Singer Sargent. This one is called "Lady Agnew of Lochnaw" Watercolor and Ink on 6x8 inch watercolor paper
1 hour watercolor study of John Singer Sargent's "Madame X" So happy I got to see it in person at the Met a couple years ago.
THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CAPTIONS!!!! Holy Moly. For the record, I said "And I just hope you have an amazing day" 😭
On an aside... here's me with Mark Mothersbaugh ten years ago (we were talking to him about scoring our film)
100 mini album covers painted in 100 days How many of these albums do you know? (I'd still like to make this a poster one day)
I've been attacked ONE THOUSAND TIMES on Artfight???? I... I don't even know why I do this to my poor teams. I'm so so sorry.
Happy Disability Pride Month! I've tried to incorporate disabilities into my art more these past few years and my upcoming coloring books continue that endeavor with mobility, hearing, autism and vitiligo (though my google search about vitiligo being a disability was inconclusive).
Sketch dump Finally home after an amazing time in Chicago! I got to sketch each day, which was nice. Amazing architecture. And a bean.
Today's the day! I'm going to do my best to "be in the moment" and appreciate how cool it is that I will be at the American Library Association convention signing my first ever book at the Penguin Random House booth This is a big deal and I am so grateful to everyone who helped make that happen 1/2
Gay Pride This was another painting done in my "Hair Journal" series during Pride month years ago. Funny enough (this was done during a live on Youtube in about 90 minutes) I didn't realize until later that the headphones they're sharing isn't connected to anything. 1/2
Being a first time author has many challenges. But, I think the biggest one for me is avoiding promoting Amazon. I mean. How does one promote a book and NOT mention Amazon? I think I've done a good job, so far, in pushing people to smaller bookstores and libraries. 1/4
The second (gouache) was done last year much larger and I give bookmarks away at signings with this painting on it. Happy Pride Month! ❤️🧡🤍🩷 2/2
Lesbians! I don't know why, but the idea of a couple connected by their hair seemed so beautiful to me. The first (watercolor and ink) was done in my Hair Journal during Pride month years ago. Their hair is the Lesbian Flag colors. 1/2
The Alliance I've always loved Centaurs. Don't know why since I'm really horrible at drawing horses. But this came from a sketch done on a live and I'm happy with how it came out. Watercolor and Ink (and a little bit of gouache) on coldpress watercolor paper
Transgender Hair Journal While painting a random photo in my sketchbook (during a live) I decided this person was transgender and we (everyone on the live and I) decided to give them a trans flag tattoo. It's become my favorite piece of art. Happy Pride Month ♥ 1/2
I will be signing at Sundog Books in beautiful Seaside Florida today at 6pm. If you're in the area... come say hi
The title of this book will be: "Curls, Swirls, Braids & Beards A Coloring Book of Self-Expression, Humanity & Hair" (but this is still all super secret. So I'm not supposed to talk about it) Here's the first one that got rejected for being "too fantasy" 😭 3/3
My cover got rejected... again. The fine folks at @hayhousepublishing.bsky.social felt the previous cover looked "too fantasy" (see second image for first cover attempt) and that may confuse people since there are TWO coloring books coming out... and one of them is Fantasy/D&D/TTRPG themed. 1/3
Girls have body hair too. Right? (Only 2 more pages to go to finish my super secret coloring book)
"Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder" This was going through my mind while doing this drawing of a Beholder for my upcoming (super secret) coloring book. I think I went too far on this. I crossed a line. I flew too close to the sun. 😭
Apparently 17 years ago TODAY, I started writing a little graphic novel for my kids (they were 6) called Animal Crackers. I came up with the idea while playing with them in the backyard (and eating Animal Crackers).
Weather permitting, I’ll be visiting the magical Tennessee Ren Fest on Saturday with my buddy Tim Hodge to fill our sketchbooks (and hearts) with fairies and food and fantasy. If you see us about. Come say hi ☺️
Might I suggest a transitional profile picture to ease you into the new one?
