Drawing of Margot Kidder, referenced from a photo taken in her modeling career
Painted in an art trade with a young artist in Germany. I like her sassy look. "The book is not important. Pay attention to me!"
A apple, digitally painted from a tutorial by Ahmed Aldoori
I have been resisting color work for decades. Srsly, my undergrad degree is painting; I hated paint. Pen & ink, that's what I put my efforts into. Well, I got there in the end. I learned it. Or I got to a stage of learning it that I can put out there. And I did it the old-fashioned way. Fuck AI.
Another portrait of Aftyn Rose. My first time trying out Infinite Painter on Android
In 2012, not long before the great Roger Ebert died, he published one of the finest, tightest essays ever composed about the ineffable nostalgic perfections of chain restaurants, a celebration of his beloved Steak ‘n Shake and its unchanging, ever-delicious burgers and fries. (Link at end of 🧵)
Painting of Line Woods, a forest preserve near my old house. I was especially enamored with the mists rising from the field of prairie grasses
🎧"I dunno, Rally, it just stopped shooting!"👓
Hey, I'm finally on time for #portfolioday. I'm learning to paint and draw. Looking over my portfolio, it's clear I have a thing for people with their hands on their face/head
I decided I wanted to tackle some still lifes. Digital watercolor painting of my mortar and pestle being put to use as a fruit bowl
Quick sketch of Krysten Ritter from Breaking Bad
A painting of Aftyn Rose in a moment of sensual pleasure
