Before the flood of birthday well wishers come in I do want to let everyone know that I went goth

your illustrations really remind me of an old soviet illustrator i grew up with, Evgeny Migunov! he illustrated many sci-fi books, from the Strugatsky brothers (authors of Roadside Picnic, inspiration for Stalker) to a popular children's scifi series about a girl named Alisa Selezneva (author Kir Bulychev). in my dreams, you would illustrate a new translated edition of at least one of these, haha. like Migunov, your graphic style is tactile/rounded/irregular in the perfect way, and your sci-fi worlds and objects look lived-in and scuffed and tangible :-) I'm a big fan

Thank you for the huge compliment and for putting me onto an artist I hadn't heard of before! I really adore his style.

Clicking around a bit I realized I did recognize his work from some of the Misha illustrations from the 1980 Moscow Olympics which are incredibly charming.

I really need to learn about more Soviet illustrators...

I don't think this is true, but I will wait for a ruling by the sacred boar that lives in the center of the earth

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

i am banned from eating my herring inside. they make me eat it on the smoking area by the loading dock, under the theory that it already smells bad there. but it was raining today which was preventing my breakfast, so i was feeling sad and hungry and then i realized that there was a large cardboard box in the dumpster from a previous delivery. like a fridge sized box. so i fished it out of the dumpster, then tipped it on its side and had a nice little cardboard cave to watch the rain and eat my fish in. which was a great experience. very soothing. very zen. at least until the security guard from the day before stepped outside to smoke. then i tried hiding from him by crawling deeper in the box, which unfortunately did not work. instead he saw a sort of damp sniveling pale hairless creature eating fish in a box, and delivered the verbal killshot of "good morning, mr. smeagol." which is how my day was ruined before 8 am.

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines
