Hi friends! How has your week gone? It’s Friday! All the woots. It’s been a busy week personally and professionally. I’ve had a couple exciting commissions I’ll tell you about later, but thought I’d stop in and share a couple pieces I’ve posted on Instagram recently.
I’m feeling all the spring vibes and celebrating with some new houseplants.
Are you guys feeling the spring vibes?
Hi friends! It’s a typical spring here in Oklahoma, which means a lot of rain! I can’t help but daydream about the sunny days of summer ahead. I surprised my kiddo again this year with Safari Joe’s season passes, so we’ll be spending a lot of time at the waterpark this summer.
Here’s my summer goals:
Except maybe add a frozen margarita in every now and again,
Are you guys still reeling from last night’s Game of Thrones episode like I am? Whew! It’s been on my mind all day, so I had to draw this Weirwood tree as a tribute to an epic send off to some of our favorite characters (no spoilers please). I’ve loved this show for 8 years mainly because you never know what to expect from these characters we’ve grown to love and loathe in equal parts. I can’t wait to see how they bring this journey to an end.
…and once more, with feeling…
GUSYS! Who’s stoked about Avengers: Endgame? THIS GUY! This is the climax that the Marvel cinematic universe has been building towards since Iron Man was released in 2008.
I couldn’t make it to theaters tonight to see Endgame so, from all of us seeing it tomorrow, please don’t be a dirtbag and spoil the ending. THXLUVUBYE.
This one goes out to the warriors committed to their personal growth and development. This is a season of growth in my life, but it’s about important, subtle changes to how I think, the way I manage stress, how I view myself those around me.
“Everything stays, but it still changes.” Thank you, Rebecca Sugar for giving us Steven Universe; there’s always a life lesson to be found in your sweet show.
Guys! This commission was so much fun to work on and I’ve had the hardest time not sharing it with you sooner. But, you know, it’s apparently bad form to spoil surprises. Derek reached out to me and asked me to work on a portrait as a gift to Carlos for their anniversary. I think it turned out pretty cute. :)
When I do commissioned portraits, you get the digital copies of the final piece to share on social media,. but I also provide high-quality fine art prints of your piece on archival paper. Here’s the final portrait printed 12x12.
Working digitally is my jam, but I sure do love seeing a finished illustration printed off. I think it helps show some of the detail work that might be overlooked on a screen. You can also visit this piece in my portfolio.
Happy anniversary, Carlos & Derek! Thank you for thinking of me and letting me have a small part in celebrating your day! Here’s to many more.
