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…
@pink always has a way of saying what I need to hear. Her new album, #hurts2bhuman, came out a few hours ago and I’m already hooked; so many great songs. .
Courage got me good tonight though; what an anthem for growth. Have I the courage to change? It’s a question I’m betting we’ve all asked ourselves at one point or another.
Officially booked my first camping trip of the spring! ⛺️ I haven’t been camping in YEARS, guys! Any tips or tricks? Is it possible to be in nature without nature being there? Cause bugs and snakes are not okay. Made this illo while finishing up an audiobook tonight.
Happy Friday eve, friends! Talk to you soon!
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.
We’re still so far out from the 2020 elections that I’ve gone out of my way to avoid politics. Over the past couple of months, @pete.buttigieg has changed that. As a gay man, of course his journey resonates with me. Of course I want to see a member of my community succeed. But that wasn’t enough to convince me that he deserved my support - especially this early. Then I researched his background. I learned about his education, his service in the armed forces and his time as an elected official. I listened to him speak. I was continuously impressed with his composure, thoughtfulness and with his ideas. I followed his hilarious husband, @chasten.buttigieg, on Twitter. All of this to say: I’m in the race. I believe in Pete’s vision of an inclusive, united country focused on moving forward. I know politics are divisive. I’m from the school where I believe we can agree to disagree if we see the world differently. But I feel strongly that we need a change in 2020. I believe that Pete Buttigieg is the change we need. (My only complaint: like the @myfavoritemurder ladies say...spell it like you say it.) 😊
It didn’t seem real watching the footage of the fire today. What a loss to Paris and the world. Sending love from Oklahoma, USA to the people of France tonight.
