At an older job of mine, part of my duties was to go through book donations. This copy of The Two Towers was missing a third of it's pages....so of course I took it home for collage XD Today though I tested it for more of a background doodle texture - on my first live stream in a good while! It's not going to be a general thing as yet since I'm still tweaking the layout and equipment that I have ( if you want to see my current setup, check out my stories ^^;) but if I'm going to be stuck at home, it's time to get done a lot of the stuff I kept putting off. Like my mending pile...*shudder* #doodle #ballpoint #marker #bookpage #foundobject #repurposedart #scifi #horror #objecthead #robotsaint #robotmonk #robot https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AMUkGhHZ-/?igshid=145dvwlinbea9

10:io - or "Tea with the Conqueror Worm" /// Acrylic Ink, gouache, colored pencils, and metallic ink /// I am afraid even filters cannot capture the sheer GREEN of this piece, nor the two types of silver tints. I do hope the glow comes through on all your screens though! :D I wanted to do a warm-up piece to make sure I don't burn out on my latest comic or Awesome Con prep, and this chat with Io turned up! /// ALSO REMINDER: I WILL BE AT THE ART RAVE AT DUPONT UNDERGROUND TOMORROW, 11 TO 5. (Yes, this is a weekly show. Yes, dress warmly) So if you want to buy prints, comics or orginals, you know where to go! :) #dcart #dcartshow #washingtondc #scifi #scifiart #tea #teatime #robot #robotsaint #robotmonk #saint #icon #metallic #gouachepainting #gouache #livingartist #eires #mask #earthworm (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dKqE5BvlO/?igshid=1rqjeiux9pjhk

(Our Lady of Litter)- "Reduce your trash, or face her Wrath" /***/ Sometimes I am challenged to make a repurposing robot, get the prompt backwards, but still like the result. Thus, the recycling bot we deserve XD Still want to do a repurpose bot....after my hand rests ^^; #penandink #robot #robotmonk #robotsaint #scifi #scifiart #recycle #reduce #blackandwhite #art #weirdart #weirdwashington https://www.instagram.com/p/B27aZdfBcmD/?igshid=25ub239334pz

A quick gouache test in between work on commissions and comics. I really wanted to see the opacity of my paints and I am pleased! #wip #robot #robotsaint #robotmonk #gouache #scifi #scifiart #test #tintedpaper #mixedmedia

Working on comics, working on collage, working on figuring out how to keep afloat as a working artist...at least I have many helping (tentacles) hands 🤣 I haven't had much to say on social media as of late, since at a certain point, the internet feeds of brain weasels to the point it's hard to function. So I'm refinding the balance of staying informed vs giving the brain weasels too many toys. Take care if yourselves, folks. *** My work is currently up at @wapgallery for the "Hope and Pride" show, and my gumroad and patron are still live! Feel free to take a peek at the show in person once you're fully vaccinated 💉 *** #wip #collageart #robot #robotsaint #boxcutter #papercraft #livingartist #artistwithbills #face #mask #tentacles #scissors #scifi #scifiartwork (at Wheaton, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/COx054HB131/?igshid=q1bwmjt1qhhx

"Which is more malleable, and precious - plastic, or gold? One creates our circuits, the other supports, so which is more worthy of praise?" - Saint BIO:3456 /// Still on my collages! This one took a turn for the horrid mid-way through, but it turned around after some more layering! I think that's a common issue with projects - at the midway point, your plans have gone amok, you have no idea what you're doing and - horrors - you're out of tea. A bit like life I guess - when it looks like suck, best to keep going and work with what you've got until things start looking more cohesive. And hoo boy - things outside my bubble really don't look good currently :( So let's all keep working through the middle-muddle. /// To all my USA followers - remember to register to vote! And keep masking - we're not out of the woods yet by a long shot. /// #robot #robotmonk #robotsaint #saint #collageart #collage #recycled art #teabag #foil #trim #keyboard #computerparts #computer #acrylicpainting #paint #mixedmedia #icon #gilding #monk #upcycledart #scifi #scifiart #scifiartwork #octopus #tentacles #hood #recycling (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhfUGvBgAj/?igshid=81dz02i38lrr

"The Price of Despair" - mixed media (paper, acrylic paint, foil wrappers , glue, nail polish and lots more) on cabinet board *-*-*-* I'm still over the dang moon that some of my pieces sold at The DC lowbrow show. One of my collages even?!? When I started doing these I wasn't entirely sure if they were going to appeal to anybody other than me, as these sort of...visual vomits of what's in my studio, stress and wanting a break from representational work into something a bit more abstract. For an example, this piece is partially made up of all of the little price tags I've used on my work at conventions...which I just...never disposed of. But maybe that's the thing? I always tried to be eco-friendly but now I think, to be glad about it, I need to be a bit more Eco fierce (ha) with creating - there is no trash, only treasures that I haven't reworked yet, I guess? #robotsaint #robot #robotmonk #icon #icons #scifi #scifiart #collage #collageart #ecoart #notrashonlytreasure #art #acreativedc #acrylicpainting (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5F5aq9hktM/?igshid=17822uzmzte5g

[The Order of Movement - "A sect of the Followers of The Architect that believes in mapping the movement patterns of each biological sentient they come across, in order to more fully comprehend their unique rapport with reality. Personally, I find them a bunch of itinerant dancers with far too many legs, but they're good as party guests, at least" - Notes from the Rim, a Memoir of The Last Governor of Langsai] ***** In between commissions (and so many weddings and cons. SO MANY WEDDINGS XD) I'm thankfully finding time to still play a bit. Partly wanted to test this blue lead I found, partly a new ink (which passed with flying colors!) and partly just wanted a robot bedecked in literal trashy finery. Don't forget to dance in the garbage heap! #scifi #scifiart #robot #robotsaint #robotmonk #dance #dancer #joy #art #penandink #brush #monk #weirdart #acreativedc #recycling https://www.instagram.com/p/B3usyAwB8jt/?igshid=i8msfmfvtwev
