Keith Haring in 1989: āUnfinished Paintingā. Haring died few months after and this is his last painting. This is supposed to be a self-portrait. Haring knew he wouldnāt have enough time to finish it. This is one of the saddest but certainly the most powerful thing Iāve ever seen.
to clarify: thisĀ is a finished self portrait. haring did know that he would be unable to continue to work; this āunfinishedā painting refers to that self-consciously as a visualization of how the aids crisis and government neglect robbed him of his life and future career.
i feel like this distinction is important? there are many artists who died due to hiv/aids and left unfinished work, but haring made this specifically to comment on his impending death. i feel like stating that itās actually unfinished takes away some of his agency as an artist/activist/pwa and the political power of the work.Ā
So of course I draw two full body Nicki Minajes instead of brainstorming media plans and executions for thesis. She wouldnāt be proud of me for not doing my homework, thatās for sure!
Anyway, when your two moods are Badder and Baddest.Ā š¼
Biolocation is āthe state of being or the ability to be in two places at the same time.ā Being bilingual means you get the best of both worlds and enough judgement and prejudice for both. Growing up with two cultures is difficult; youāre time and time again forced to choose between the two and in limbo between two identities. With my family, I was never Mexican enough and with my friends, I was never sufficiently American. This has been a PSA to remember to always embrace both worlds and never be ashamed to be rooted to a rich culture. - Enjoy a choppy kinetic illustration! More to come in the future.
The illustration is stunning and your write-up completely striking. Thank you for sharing this piece!
Iām personally Team Indy, how bout you?

I havenāt shared my process, but hereās a really rough idea of how it goes. My initial sketch just lays out the bare bones: basic shapes, minimal clothing detail, and an emphasis on quick lines. Up until maybe three years ago, I always started by drawing the characterās eyes⦠and then Iād get so hung up on details Iād never commit to drawing a full body. Or Iād never make it past the ink phase. Drove me nuts! Iām so glad I took a first year drawing course in University. Figure drawing changed my style for the better. Iām not quite ready to post my really old art yet, so for now, Iāll share more of my messy work.
Anyway, hereās a poster I did for school. The concept was normalizing weed by showing the faces of the average consumer. Whether itās for recreational or medicinal purposes, itās time to remove the stigma surrounding weed. šŗš I personally smoke weed both recreationally and medicinally: smoking and dabbing sativa helps put me in a creative flow. I smoke and dab indica to conquer my insomnia. I dab, eat, and vape CBD to alleviate or soften a spectrum of medically diagnosed mental disorders.
From the physical and mental health benefits to the wholesome social circles Iāve formed within the community, weed has had an incredibly positive impact on my life. I wanted to illustrate that. š

Iām so thankful for the pen tool!
Since I started working in vector, Iāve gotten a better idea of how things connect. From joints on a human body to angles of a dresser in perspective, the pen toolās point-to-point has been very helpful to me. Unfortunately, this isnāt the best example but... I tried! I used a reference but couldnāt quite get the main line of vision. Itās more evident in the final version ā ah well! Better luck next time.
I wonder what references artists use for drawing 3-point perspective? I canāt seem to figure it out!
Hope youāre having a lovely day.

Three months into long distance and two months until weāre together in the same city! I canāt wait to wake up to my girlfriend, grumble about snoozing another ten minutes to my girlfriend, and getting hauled out of bed by my girlfriend Monday through Friday!Ā šš Itās wild how time flies... Homework and assignment deadlines have been my units of measurement for time passing, so really it feels like either no time has past or an eternity has. Ahhh the closer I get to graduation, the closer I get to a full-time job, and a happy wife life!
I realize now itās almost midnight and before I start scrolling I better shut down for the night. I woke up early this morning to do logos for a group project and tomorrow Iāll have to make a few adjustments. And by early I mean I have to wake up FOR REAL early tomorrow morning... no Avoidance Sleep-Ins allowed.

Mother of Persistance, Saint Warren of Massachusetts.
I love Elizabeth Warren, or at least my naive ideal of what she represents. I wish she was more aggressive. I wish she had a more intimidating demeanour, but alas, she is a gentle doe with a huge heart.
My illustration course this semester will have me producing more work like this. I kinda like it. I need to push my concept development further, though... this one feels a little weak. Ah well. I think I captured Warrenās likeness somewhat? None of my classmates recognized her... Ooops!
Have a lovely evening, you.

My girlfriend, the Space Cadet.Ā š¾š¾
I have a bunch of errands to run today, but Iām really anxious to get some work done for my thesis. I love the freedom of living alone for the most part... Laundry, cleaning, and maintaining supplies suck on a full-time life schedule, though. My girlfriend is coming to visit on Tuesday so I really gotta get my shit together! I have a knack of being consistently bad with time management. I really need to learn some better habits so Iām not always feeling like Iām in a rush to get things in order. Iāll finish my coffee, shoot myself with the makeup cannon, and get the heck out the door.
Oh, and art later! Gotta make time for that, too.
Have a Great Dane!

It turns out I really am terrible at drawing flowers. These are supposed to be dahlias, but theyāre sort of just derplias. Ah well. Better luck next time?

Today was stressful.
Thesis is already going poorly in my final semester. My group appears to have run out of steam despite just beginning the collaborative aspect of thesis. Weāre in the ideation stage, but our prof is demanding mockups and executions already? Whatās the point? Why waste time fleshing out a bad idea? Iām probably just looking for excuses to complain. I just donāt likeĀ ārapid prototypingā. Iām a quality over quantity person every time. Studying a commercial art form is soul-sucking because of the rate at which product is demanded... and 99% of it is discarded. I can understand the high burnout rate in creative fields.
Hope you had a nice dayĀ š

I love watching horror movies with my girlfriend.
We both jump and scare at the same things, same time. Iāve had so much fun since we started dating ā she makes Canadian winters much warmer. šš I visited her in her city for five or so days and she met some of my family for the first time. Itās crazy when you meet Your Person. They melt into your life as if they had been there all along. She immediately vibed with my family, my dad especially loves her. My aunt made the most delicious tourtiĆØres and I ate too much. My girlfriend got along with everyone so well Iām really looking forward to our next family dinner.
We also had a bizarre experience at a restaurant when she met my dad for the first time. Our server, it turns out, was blackout drunk. She forgot to punch in our meals, my dad told her heād like a new server, and she quit almost on the spot. My girlfriend and I just stared with our jaws on the floor... WHY US??
She just flew back to her city after visiting me for a few days in mine. Distance is weird but bearable knowing how incredibly important she is to me. We had a blast the last week, ordering amazing food and watching bad movies at home to avoid the brutal cold outside. Itās the type of cold where you shamelessly cling to your partner. She bought me a huuuuge oversized Crystal Pink* hoodie that I havenāt taken off in days. Maybe her love can get me through the winter.Ā šš
Anyway, donāt mind my blog. The art is inspired by pink-haired girls.

So Iām starting a little contest on IG and Tumblr inspired by my girlfriendās close friends. Thereās nothing I admire more in a partner than loyalty, honesty, and compassion. To me, those are integral pieces of any healthy relationship, be it platonic or otherwise. Caring and being there for your friends is hard work, but it creates a strong foundation upon which your friends (and you!) can grow and thrive. This is a toon of Hazey Dee, the sweetest and probably most empathetic person Iāve met in a while. Iām beyond happy to have met her!
The contest is pretty straightforward: DM me (no anon, sorry!) or reblog this and tell me a little about your BFF and how your friendship came to be. Iām not necessarily picking at random, but Iāll likely end up drawing one couple of besties from IG and two couples from Tumblr.
