99 followers and we launch in SIX DAYS. I'm NERVOUS. But we're hopeful. Here's the video painting the mini round by Trekell! The chisel brushes are also by Trekell, they're great and we love them. Not sponsored rofl, they're just local and I try and support my community every chance I get.
the other piece I made on trash that I insisted on using. It's smoll, it's mako sharks and it was almost salvageable. Like... the paper buckled immediately, took water but not pigment and I had used some resist, and it just tore it all up. So now it has this texture because in order to not just throw it all out. I went over the whole piece with medium mixed with mica ~magic medium~ It gave me a surface to work with and it ended up looking pretty cool! So I'm glad I didn't give up. We almost have 100 followers on the kickstarter now. I'm nervous but hopeful about it~ Apologies again for cellphone photos~
Event by Victor Valley Museum-A San Bernardino County Museum on Saturday, July 8 2023
Finally finished this little watercolor sketchbook. I used most of it to do little studies while working as a framer, to keep my skills up. I developed a way to paint loose with acrylics, but be able to scale that looseness up in size for professional work. Pentalic makes great watercolor sketchbooks. I can see why Gurney uses them. :D

here's a landscape tutorial!
i focused on natural environments for this one, if you find it helpful I'll be back with how I learned to draw buildings.
let me know if it helps! and have fun drawing ✨
Our first event, our first pride event too! So thankful for our community coming out to support us! While this one was off the cuff, we have bigger plans for the future! We look forward to building our community up together
Happy Juneteenth! As Juneteenth is in the middle of Pride Month, it seems only fitting to feature a Black American for our queer artist today. And that artist is, Beauford Delaney
A fixture of the Harlem Renaissance, he's best known for his expressionist portraits. Attracted to art from an early age, both Beauford and his brother were drawing as very young children, beginning with copying cards from Sunday school.
Born in Tennessee, like many black artists in the midcentury, he moved to New York, and then to Paris, drawn to the more liberal minded places. He'd remain in Europe for the rest of his life, only with brief visits to family in the US.
His work was actually ahead of his contemporaries in Abstract Expressionism. And his work shifted quickly and dramatically as he was exposed to new ideas. Tragically, Beauford suffered from mental illness made worse by alcoholism. And in the end, he died from complications of Alzheimers.
Another gay black American spoke of him best, so we'll use his words here. James Baldwin wrote: "Perhaps I am so struck by the light in Beauford’s paintings because he comes from darkness— as I do, as, in fact, we all do. But the darkness of Beauford’s beginnings in Tennessee,
many years ago, was a black-blue midnight indeed, opaque, and full of sorrow.
And I do not know, nor will any of us ever really know, what kind of strength it was that enabled him to make so dogged and splendid a journey."
Continuing pride month with Frida Kahlo. Politcal, bisexual, feminist and artist inspired by the folk art of her home wrapped up in the surreal. It's hard to believe she was a relative unknown, despite shows in the US and France, before the 1970s. She may now be one of the most famous Mexican women the world over. Her works explored gender, what it meant to specifically be a Mexican woman in Mexican culture, as well as Mexican culture itself and the dichotomy of indigenous culture and Spanish culture existing together, apart and blending. What it was to mestizo.
Frida was undeniably bisexual, though there's evidence she had less emotional strings attached to her female partners, so perhaps bisexual but heteroromantic and through her turbulent relationship with her husband, nonmanogmous.
Frida is a deeply complex person with a tragic, adventurous, and fascinating life. She's definitely worth reading about if you never have.
Happy Pride!
big mood
A series of pins inspired by the real-life leviathans swimming in our very own oceans.
If you follow my patreon, all that study went somewhere.
Launch will be in July, but I appreciate shares and follows as much as the next person. I also really love big fishes and I want everybody to love and appreciate them as much as me <3
Hey Don't forget! #WorldOceanDay Our very own @circadiancrunch has designed a bunch of sharks for a kickstarter in July!
While we generally highlight Visual Artists, today it's a writer. One you probably have heard of. James Baldwin. Like so many artists, and so many Black artists in particular, James Baldwin spent a lot of time in Paris with it's more liberal attitude to both race and sexuality. His work explored so many themes. Sexuality, masculinity, racialized identity. To quote, his characters exist "Within and against that cage of reality" that so many marginalized people will relate to.
Drawing some deer, just lil sketches from photos. Feeling very rusty lately
Continuing Pride Month with another queer artist, Romaine Brooks, was an American painter, but she worked mostly in France and Italy. She's best known for her portraits of women, often depicted androgynously or in masculine attire. Romaine was a lesbian, but did marry a male friend, John Ellingham Brooks who was a gay man. While it is not fully known if they married in order to enter into a lavender marriage or out of her concern for him. Regardless, they split quickly. He desired to appear straight and 'normal' and made references to her inheritance as if it was in part his. She did however, even after splitting up, give him a yearly allowance and lived comfortably until his death.
Her work, it's sapphic and gender themes were definitely ahead of her time. Dismissed for her realistic style in her time she's appreciated now. Her stoic and noble figures in subdued neutral colors, a rebellion and a celebration.
This piece is going to Cat Con in August, not with us but with one of our artists @onioncakesart
Can't wait to see it all done
Another often hotly debated artist. Joseph Christian Leyendecker of the golden age of illustration! While nothing of his sexuality was ever written by Leyendecker himself, it was not a secret he lived with his model and manager, Charles Beach for the majority of his life, until his death. Upon his death, while his property and estate and works were by and large divided among his family. Leyendecker instructed Beach to destroy his drawings and much of his work. But, most of them were instead sold at a yard sale.
