Folks, lmao, for the record--please do not interact with my work if you’re going to run around on here professing your love for H*rry P*tt*r. Support of her work is support of her transphobic rhetoric. Do not come around here with that legitimately harmful shit.

Hi folks!! Wanted to throw a line out there to ask--is there any of my work in particular you’re interested in seeing more of? Is there anything in my more line-based style that you like seeing me share?

I’m blocking left and right and because perhaps I have not been clear enough and need to step up my boundary setting: if you are some kind of tr*dfem Chr*stian t*rf nonsense: get out. Get out. You do not fucking belong here and if you are here or on my art for any reason, know I have never made art for you. You are dangerous and do not belong here.

A thought that I felt was a little too long for Twitter and still wanted to share: get to know the working processes of a lot of artists. Watch how they make sense of a sketch, how they make sense of color & mood, how they make sense of and break down a reference, how they compose a piece. It builds up your vocabulary of how you see things. A lot of schools or classes push an ideal process that’s really clean and precise--and this absolutely has its merits! Get to know those processes too; they could very easily be YOUR process or will be the basis of helping you simplify and get ‘messy’ with your process & workflow. But get to know how others see art beyond that traditional ‘precise’ workflow and experience other approaches to art. Be a little all over the place and accept being messy when you make stuff, it’s all good :]

Also! Wanted to ask you guys--how often do you like to see new work? I’m historically a slower painter when it comes to full, full pieces and produce a few color paintings maybe once or twice a month. Line pieces and singular/small(er) item paintings are far less time-consuming, but I’m not much of push-one-out-every-day kind of person. Would it be nice to see something (anything?) new once a month, once a week, etc? I like filling the time gaps with self-reblogs, but I’d like to know what you have on your minds!

Hey friends, I’m going to be unable to keep up with new daily pieces for all of the October fun right now because Life Is A Lot, but I’m gonna try to share updates of the handful of tiny paintings I’m going to try to knock out this month (amongst other updates and WIPS and crops and things!) on my Twitter :]
