Ahhha! my latest public painting is complete! My most ambitious piece of 2025, a painting of Gyarados as I always imagined it to be, massive and downright terrifying.

Ahhha! my latest public painting is complete! My most ambitious piece of 2025, a painting of Gyarados as I always imagined it to be, massive and downright terrifying.

New Art (kinda)

I'm sharing a newly finished piece, but it's actually a repaint in oils of a piece I made years ago digitally. I wanted to practice painting on gessoboard, so I figured the easiest thing would be to repaint one of my oldest pieces and use the new medium to practice technique and not form.

I painted a mango! And it's not half bad!

A new painting! I am so happy with how this looks, a little slice of a fantasy painting.

Sharing original art is scary, but here we go!

But I want to say something else. They asked for suggestions on where to get these made, and I gave them the names of a few mass production companies, but I also gave them the name of my small local guys. I didn't expect them to go there, it's probably more expensive to use a smaller local shop, but I know it would mean more to them. And I was immediately told they'd check in with them, and then that's just what happened.

They went with my little guys.

So if you're wondering about the price, it's because Tumblr staff just... Listened and cared. They listened to the people who said they wanted one of these, and then they not only asked me but listened to the answer when I suggested supporting a business local to me. That's invaluable to me.

Also it's important to me that you know this comes apart so you can use just the dumpster to put things in. My prototypes are full of jellybeans.
