I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.

[scientiablr]

honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March

i know a lot of people go on about how bad tumblr is for artists but i think its really important to use the tools given to you to the best of your ability to support art blogs.

i think more of us should be using the blog subs tag to follow art blogs who maybe dont post as often as shitposters and basically supporting more time consuming content by making sure you actually sign up to see it

and obviously reblogs help. but you can only reblog if you actually get to see the post first.

As someone going through a spinal thing since October and now using a cane at the ripe old age of barely mid thirties? Yes. The human back makes me question intelligent design more than anything else. Lol.

Unseen

Been wanting to paint this for a while now. I just love transparent and iridescent materials and how they play with light.

[paperboatillustrations]

I’ve loved their work forever now. So much of it is hanging up in my studio as inspiration.

[paperboatillustrations]

Trying to get into the groove of posting here on Tumblr.

Here’s something I finished the other day. Originally I’d planned on working on another piece but I was mentally exhausted and it didn’t happen. Instead I let myself get lost in the process. I did really good not getting caught up on tiny details while also allowing myself to just slow down and work on one small area at a time. The hours passed and before I knew it my husband was home from work and the sun had set. Lol.

I’m in the process of *vague hand gestures while I search for words* my art style is going through a somewhat drastic change. Pandemic left me super sick so I’ve gone from focusing on the hustle to focusing on self care and my art is a huge part of who I am and what I need to be happy. So, as I am changing my art is too.

This piece is in part inspired by something I really liked in a previous work I was playing around with (I’ll post that in a bit) and also the style of some of Feefal’s works… @feefal (ope, I just discovered how the at symbol works here) that my sister introduced me to some while back. Seriously go check out their stuff it’s amazing,

I’m really loving playing with things like transparency and opacity right now and constantly trying to understand how colors work which is why I’m mostly sticking to dark canvases right now. Plus my eyes like it. All hail dark mode!

I didn’t really have anything in particular in mind when I was working on this, it was more me following the art and seeing where I ended up. I admit edibles were totally involved… But as I went I got a particular feel so I’m calling this one Inner Child. This is the first draft and I think it’s plenty good and finished all on its own but I want to explore the concept more so I’m going to duplicate and remake this a little clearer and with further exploration.
