Threw out my back a couple weeks ago, #fossil, but I did get around to giving my Etsy store a facelift which include more items for sale, some of which are included here, link in bio. This first img is the first to be funded by my Patrons on Patreon ❤️. The striped tie is one of my favorites to wear from @thetiebar . For those that subscribe to my newsletter will get free shipping on all purchases over $30 through the end of December. Might be mum for the rest of the month since I’m still in pain, but Merry Christmas to you all, much love 😊 #prestonpjackson #patreon #patreoncreator #christmas2020 #contemporaryart #traditionalart #madebyhand #bowties #mensfashion #oils #drawing #draftsman #painting #smallbusiness #smallart #affordableart #style #contemporaryartist (at Charlottesville, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIn5bRZF8no/?igshid=kiuucxculqr6

“Traversing the Small Magellanic Cloud” 7.5 x 12 in. Oils on acrylic on paper. A commission for @zelis666 . She was super patient and a joy to paint for. #oils #paper #oilpainting #nauticalart #cosmicart #asteroids #spaceart #fantasyart #commission #prestonpjackson #oilonacrylic #stars #traditionalart https://www.instagram.com/p/BzPF2qIlp3N/?igshid=z96z0f3ug7x

“The Pilot’s Son.” Just sold! This painting is very dear to me, so I have mixed feelings about letting it go. When I first showed this piece in 2013, people told me they loved it, so I didn’t know how to process the lack of follow through with a sale at the end of promising conversations. This piece almost always occupied a space in my shows and by far resonated with people the most. This artist lifestyle is not for the faint of heart. Your time invested in your work is sometimes quickly rewarded and many other times is likened to being trapped in amber waiting for the right person to come along. The execution of the idea and content was fluid and a joy to create every step of the way and am glad someone wants this in their house ❤️ #prestonpjackson #art #instaart #scififantasy #scififantasyart #fantasyart #portraitpainting #portraiture #oils #oilonpaper #impastopainting #impasto #helm #helmet #malefigure #figurativeart #bust #soldart #justsold #hustle #patience #feelinggood #feelingappreciated https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUt8ODlBwF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8i9pbg9wwr1l

Hey y’all, I’m still alive. Working on commissions for the next few months so here’s a charcoal drawing of Eliana, a character in my story Phinite, which was originally created for my Patreon a couple months back. People at IlluxCon got to see it in person. Links in bio to support me through Patreon or in purchasing the original work. This is the last post of the year methinks. Much love y’all!
