LEFT PEBBLE

I'm a freelance illustrator living in Portland Oregon. I like drawing layered ideas. Most of the work you see here is drawn analog and painted digitally, often using layer upon layer upon layer in Adobe Photoshop. So what I guess I'm saying is....my illustrations are like onions. I appreciate a nice quiet evening with crayons or finger paints too, when I'm looking for inspiration. I would love to work for you or with you! Reach out and lets play! .ig-b- { display: inline-block; } .ig-b- img { visibility: hidden; } .ig-b-:hover { background-position: 0 -60px; } .ig-b-:active { background-position: 0 -120px; } .ig-b-v-24 { width: 137px; height: 24px; background: url(//badges.instagram.com/static/images/ig-badge-view-sprite-24.png) no-repeat 0 0; } @media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), only screen and (min--moz-device-pixel-ratio: 2), only screen and (-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2 / 1), only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), only screen and (min-resolution: 192dpi), only screen and (min-resolution: 2dppx) { .ig-b-v-24 { background-image: url(//badges.instagram.com/static/images/[email protected]); background-size: 160px 178px; } }

Last night as I was sleeping, I dreamt - marvelous error - that I had a beehive here in my heart. And the golden bees were making white comb and sweet honey from my old failures #poetry #antoniomachado #wip #acceptance
