Geek art

I've been wanting to try and make an informational animated video for years. Kept procrastinating on it, but I finally got it done.

Today was my last radiation session. I’m mostly finished with my cancer treatment, just need to continue immunotherapy for about a year. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDVoy2OnWZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So even after all these drawings, I still have this much pastel left over. What do you guys do with art supplies that you own and hate? I feel guilty throwing it away. #artistproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/CmAHqu2ujKw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are the drawings which I thought turned out kind of “interesting”. #oilpastel https://www.instagram.com/p/CmAHZiROfeR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I wish streaming service wouldn’t overlay text over a paused film. I like to draw period films. #watercolorsketch #allquietonthewesternfront https://www.instagram.com/p/ClhwQkuLXUE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have a lot of anxiety over making art for reasons like this: what if it ends up looking crappy? I messed up the eye placement (amongst other things). I’m telling myself it’s only practice, it’s okay to fail. #acrylicpaint #acrylicsketch https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPD1ZvOZxO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you compare my painting with the photo ref, it’s no good. When you don’t compare it, it looks kinda cool. #gouache #flamingo https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6cgPzuSai/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Received today in the mail. A big f- you to the Republican party of Florida. It’s one of the most hateful pieces of propaganda I’ve received in recent memory #gopsucks https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjLn9lOZtL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This year, I wanted to get rid of art supplies, but instead I’m buying more. I got these fancy color pencils. Haven’t used pencils since high school, so I’m pretty proud of my first pencil portrait. #colorpencils https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckiy8RAuwDj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I don’t know what I’m doing. Bought a “stay wet” palette for my paint. There has been some color spillage. #gouache #gouachepainting #WIP https://www.instagram.com/p/ChnOV6QOxs1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My first #papersculpture… https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEW7xUO4PB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying out gouache painting. This is based on a bust of Napoleon III at the MET. I was trying to do a caricature on the last painting. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_NNJVu7mb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally finished my 2nd #embroidery. I like to look at the back of the embroidery, it looks like impressionist art. #needlepainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CcslijmrMJO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More #resinjewelry. This time I made a mold out of this small octopus sculpey thing I made. https://www.instagram.com/p/CburYJguawh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another craft I wanted to try out: making #resinjewelry . Resin doesn’t like me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CburAnxOGme/?utm_medium=tumblr

Recycled the design of the sculpey racoon to make this: my first #felting project. I just changed the coloring to a more “red panda” configuration. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbuqhwRuZAL/?utm_medium=tumblr

#sculpey #racoon. I still need to with on better smoothing my sculptures https://www.instagram.com/p/CbuqH-LOf3P/?utm_medium=tumblr
