MORE GOBLINS

#Throwback to one of my first & favorite linocuts. I know a few of you have this print, or maybe one of the stickers I made from this block, but unfortunately it is long retired. This reminds me how much I absolutely love printmaking, and I can't wait to carve it up after the big move at the end of the month! (More studio space!) . . #tbt #linocut #printmaking #handburnish #diy #anatomy #hand #imtrying (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ELqQOApmn/?igshid=1wqrvr79qqwtg

Today, my work flow has been as follows: grade a paper, draw a goblin, repeat. Very satisfying. #sketchbook #tombow #brushpen #goblins #fantasyart #characterdesign (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9IlFlgKvA/?igshid=1i08y3kimb47l

Maybe you saw this a few weeks ago, but I've been goofing around with color holds after spring in on a coloring workshop by @sloaneleong at PDX Indie Con. The B&W version of this will be in @therumblelumpclub soon!

Trying out different palettes, coloring sketchbook doodles to get my brain back on track. I'm a big fan of radioactive colors, perhaps due to my upbringing near a nuclear facility. #palette #selfie #photoshop #selfportrait #digitalart #testing #sketchbook #doodle #passingtime #catharsis (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzwXnXBAWfP/?igshid=1wtjphq1dlj29

Divvied up my how to (downloadable on my website) for making a 1/4 fold mini-comics. It's an easy format that utilizes 1-sheet of paper, folded twice, to make an 8-page comic. I recommend a 3-step process: the mock-up, the final art, and production. Make a dummy copy to get used to the format and draw your pencils, use 2-sheets of clean paper for your final art, and then make duplex copies, trim and staple! It's pretty fun! #makecomics #comix #comics #diy #selfpublish #arttips (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzv1xjlgTmm/?igshid=1ghmo3w8mrib3

Converted my Fantomah fan art into a pattern! Going to self-publish my essay with art from last year's "Thanks, Fletcher Hanks" show in time for the Portland Zine Symposium. #pattern #fantomah #selfpublish https://www.instagram.com/p/BzI6z-vgWOB/?igshid=6opv1erlsq9z
