Mermay Day 1
| at 4:34 PM
Omg you guys it’s finally #MerMay !! I haven’t participated in like 4 years but this year I’m gonna do a creepy-cute #MaryBlair style. Today’s prompt is Workers and this mermaid is def working hard at the aquarium show! 🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️ (Side note… I may have accidentally done research on how to be an aquarium mermaid IRL while looking up photos for this. It’s a real job!!! 😬)
I Love Your Negative Thoughts Oil Painting

I Love Your Negative Thoughts 16x20 oil painting
I used a limited palette for this one, only 3 colors: burnt sienna, ultramarine blue (my favorite), and white. I love painting with limited palettes as I love color mixing, plus it reduces toxicity as some colors are more toxic than others. Fun fact: siennas and ultramarine are non toxic! I also use walnut or linseed oil instead of turp or solvents these days and always, always wear gloves. I’ve been painting quite a bit the last few months, would you like to see more of them? This one will probably be for sale eventually but I haven’t decided yet. 🎨
Here are some close ups because photos just never seem to get it right. I 🖤 texture!

This robot is much too big for that tiny Door! This one is based on one of my favorite works by Mary Blair. 🥰 And that’s a wrap on #marchofrobots even finishing a bit late 😨 And here's a collage to see them all together!

An old, abandoned robot that has rusted while waiting for me to post him 🙈 I’ve been traveling and having so many events I never finished my robots! But I’m determined to get them done anyway 😬

Happy March of Robots! I'm doing an ink+watercolor style this year. I just hope I can keep up! Maybe I'll make these into a little book once I'm done.
This is one of my favorite drawing challenges and you should do it with me! Prompts and rules listed below! Day one is Signal! I'm interested to see if anyone gets this joke. Here's a hint: SOS!

Lord of the Rings Doors of Durin
| at 8:00 PM
I have a confession to make. I just finally watched #lotr for the first time.😱 I put it off forever because I wanted to read all the books first but then I didn’t do that either. The Doors of Durin scene was so visually stunning (as is really the entire movie) I had to do some fan art. Although my big complaint is that all the orcs/demons/bad guys look like bulldogs?!! It’s like a puppy snuff film and I’m personally offended!
