Hey, let me drunkenly animate your photos in about 25 to 60 days!

oops, i doxxed myself! but then i remembered that i could delete the image at the source from imgur, so i did that. oof. this is what i get for trying to post a dog drawing on a fridge

okeydokey, here's a slightly redacted version

how does this dog get along with the wily cat?

Very well, most of the time! Not sure the cat feels the same way though ;(

cow tools

yes!

dude!!

this was the fourth or fifth oil painting i started, i think. i finished it (or stopped working on it) a couple months ago but didn't realize it was done until this morning as i thought about whether i should make space for it or not at my new spot. i don't have a nice camera and my lights are broken so i took 5 iphone photos and stitched them together to make this closeup

uh depending on your .css you might need to open that image in a new tab

hello there, for scale

the one i'm working on now is at my foot there. i keep reworking the head - unsure what goes on the end of a torso twisted 180°

Honestly amazing

go man go!

thank you! it's been 'in progress' for so long that i can no longer see it, but i'm glad to move on! it's going to be rolled up in a closet for the foreseeable future but i hope to show it in some sort of covid exhibition some day, if there ever is one. i think one of my original thoughts was to do something brutally confronting, like with a hospital bed and characters and text for some of them. i'm glad that i gave it a ton of time and made it less direct

Love the color on this. That big yellow eruption on the far right makes me think of something violent erupting like dragon's breath.

eruption erupting - ugh

thank you, appreciate that pbkr! the evil imagery on the right was partly on purpose, partly temporary layers that i left behind. the flat yellow, i think, is from one of the very first layers i put down in summer 2021, just to put down a color and have something to work off of. and the figure, i think, was based off of this engraving by gustave dore, from his Genesis series:

i think that's Baruch, who is a minor character whose tale i can't remember. he maybe the son of a son of a son of a son of a more famous son. i was also looking at dore's dante's inferno engravings around the same time, and also thinking about hell and evil stuff a lot because of things in my personal life. i remember doing the quickest sketch with charcoal and then adding some color (i don't drunkenly paint now, but i did then, especially that night) and moving, figuring i had a ton more work to do. but i never touched it again! people reading this who think it is bad are probably like 'yeah buddy maybe you should have' lol, and i do think i could have (could still, but won't) kept working on it and changed it into something more concrete, but i got used to the way it looked there, and i like how feels (to me) like a piece of bad threatening past, still on there

so many typos, i'm just going to pretend like they're all on purpose

i got zero out of ten on my last spelling quiz
but my teacher gave me an 'A' for Affort

tangential humblebrag of the past - i won the school's spelling bee two years in a row in middle school, and "was one step away from ESPN" the second year, when i also won the regional competition. but autocorrrect ate my dog

anyway, thank you for saying nice things, i really do appreciate it and it always motivates me

additional umprompted lore, just because i've been looking at this thing for years and haven't really talked to anyone about it: it's funny that what turned into a david bowie look-alike on the boat started out as a version of chris killip's photo 'simon being taken out to sea for the first time since his father drowned'. i tried to do that kid's face so many times and then it became david bowie lol
