Daily experiments are more like weekly experiments. Anyhow yeah, playing with lmaterials. #pilotpatallelpens #nupastel #goldenhighflowacrylics #prismacolorpencils #gesso #gelpen #scotchtape #happydays #profile #sketch #bullit https://www.instagram.com/p/CeiDNxer2oY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my all time favorite super hero movies. The casting was perfect. If there was ever a movie that could use an ideally ridiculous sequel it’s Mystery Men! . #mysterymen #spleen #tomwaits #nonlethalweapons #identitycrisis #laughterisasuperpower #maytheforksbewithus https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd4PPchPkDs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Casualty of a rushed morning. @ruthiedevito ‘s fallen soldier never made it into her lunch. #seeyouontheotherside https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8xTs0PoqB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another class experiment. I don’t know how pastels work so that was a challenge. I’m sure I can do better If get the hang of them? I used a leaf of lettuce to stamp all those textures.

Something I bashed together for class. Just a mish mash of mediums with no real purpose. Other than I knew I’d be making a house. It was fun. More like arts and crafts. #ink #danielsmithwatercolor #pastel #collage #scotchtape #prismacolorpencils #liquidacrylic #craterlakewhiskey #houseart #moveinready #motivatedseller https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc8u413PY-T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I made this shadowbox coaster set. Took a while to figure out how the vector image applies to the laser cutter. I’ll need to take better photos at some point. Reflective surfaces are a challenge. . #alien #abduction #flyingsaucer #shadowbox #coasters #diy #ooak #imadeathing #invaders #fromspace #tractorbeam https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDxhLuPrr6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Underwhelming portraits while playing w/ color no. 15. I think this could use some really dark outlines, yeh? . #nomorehashtags #somanyhashtags #ink #watercolors #bristol #colorpencil #danielsmith #prismacolor #craterlakespirits #ihateportraits #ninja #yolandi https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_T7EOJuXv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lunchtime experiments with limited pallet and color harmony. There are miles to go but I’m satisfied that some things are working. . . #cityoflostchildren #fantasyart #childlike #watercolor #coloredpencils #fisheyelens #howmanyhashtags #values #cartersexton https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbv2KOMJ-YL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just when I thought it all started making sense. I really wanted to avoid using a pen but I just wasn’t able to get the paint to really describe the form all that well. lol, I’m gonna spiral for a while…. #practice #ladyparts #curls #curlsfordays #red #orange #bluegreen #splitcomplimentary #watercolor #coloredpencil #shouldbeasleep #strikeapose https://www.instagram.com/p/CbuW-gnLIRa/?utm_medium=tumblr

“I thought you said photo CHOP. What’s photoshop?” Split complimentary assignment that I turned into an experiment. I knew the the tone (or saturation?) was off between the two images. The result was more or less what I had hoped for/expected. I wish I had the energy to do a bunch of these and explore what would absolutely not work. . #visualartspassage #adventureswithcolor #collageart #watercolor #nosleepart #orangeyellow #blue #violet #homeworkasanadult #vap #selfportrait https://www.instagram.com/p/CbbGFqlvGzD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finding little illustration piles as I clean house, ha. I forgot about these. . . . . . #cleaning #sleepyaf #caseofthesundays #illustration #pictureofstuff #doodlefromthenoodle #gosportsteam https://www.instagram.com/p/CS45jdphxvw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another scalawag that I’ve tried to fix up, from the pile of sloppy illustrations. There were different plans for this salty rat but whisky had apparently had other plans when I inked this a few years back. Not too disappointed w/ the salvage. . . . . . #repair #fixingmistakes #badrat #saltyrat #buckaneer #illustration #losangeles #seaworthy #watercolor #jamesepepper #conjoined #quatocomplex https://www.instagram.com/p/CS1BxhEL-YU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Threw it into procreate for touch up’s but instead I just played w/ the colors. Diggin’ the autumn look. . . . . . #sliving #fishing #autumn #hooked #salty #watercolor #flowersforthesea #ctreaturesofthedeep #shermanoakstherapist https://www.instagram.com/p/CS09Ix2rWXv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rather than discard a trove of bad drawings that are taking up space, I’m using them for some long overdue painting practice. I wish I had a photo of the under drawing to show what fresh hell I was working with. . . . #shitshow #watercolor #shermanoaks #merman #creature #lures #hook #1 #black3.0 #culturehustle #darkart #ineedabreakfastburrito (at Sherman Oaks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRW5haMjqoB/?utm_medium=tumblr

A couple things from the year. The glowing eyes are neat. Practice work. . . . . #watercolors #sketching #thisrighthere #wheredothedaysgo #nothinginparticular #glow https://www.instagram.com/p/CQOpPQjDAhF/?utm_medium=tumblr
