Decided to just accept the blur and paint into it

I didn’t feel comfortable talking about the awesome time I had at @shortrunseattle without mentioning what happened after...

That said, I had a great time and met a lot of really amazing people and if I haven’t responded to you yet, it’s because I’m having a bit of a rough time being a functioning human in light of the election. I promise I will get back to you.

I have been a very bad art school drop-out and have not done any gesture drawing in a looooong time.

A page of 1 minute drawings, and a page of 2 minute drawings.

A friend texted this to me "In my dream last night you were in this enormous cardboard Halloween costume that made you look like a section of wall cut out of a retail store. You rolled around while children picked items off your outfit." What a good dream about me.

I’ve decided this will actually be my test weave... gonna start the whole thing over because I have brainworms.

All this work and I’ve concluded I’m gonna have to cut it up to harvest some of the yarn for the next one! The custom multicolor yarns that I made. The issue is those plain weave sections are uhhhh almost 4 ft long. If I reduce the number of picks, I can reduce the length of the plain weave section by half and have a lot more room for cool stuff.

Doing insane shit with string today

I was posting art online back in the days of Elfwood, before Deviantart, so I’ve been around to watch the internet social rules of interacting with art posts shift over time.

Lemme tell you: Reblogs make me happy, but comments fill me with JOY. Whether it’s on the reblog or in the tags, even if it’s as simple as “I like this,” that means so much to me.

I can imagine there are a lot of artists in a position similar to mine: Working a full-time non-art job, with little time or opportunity to interact with IRL art communities. I was in art school for many many years, and I didn’t realize how important it was to receive feedback on my art until I wasn’t getting it anymore.

One of the things I’m trying to do, over on my bsky and my sideblog, is to leave a comment of some kind when I reblog another artist’s work. I know it means a lot to me, so I want to give that to artists whose work I enjoy.

To everyone who leaves comments on my art, even goofy stuff in their tags: I do see it, I do read it, and thank you so much!

To people who leave comments in the tags that say stuff like “this is so weird” or “why did they make the characters so ugly”: Please go look at more art and develop a broader palette. Maybe watch Simon Schama’s “The Power of Art” miniseries, as a fun way to learn some art history and theory.

I'm just kinda running into this blind, but is there a way to get your RJ Hill therapist book? I didn't know it was ever made physical, and I'd love to own it.

I have made a printable download version!

I was previously printing and shipping them myself but when my job switched to work from home I lost access to the office printer (lol). Because RJ Hill is my most popular comic, keeping up with the physical printing and shipping can be a bit much on top of having a full time job, especially when there's a sudden upsurge in interest. So I've decided to keep my fancomics as printable downloads.

juice-demon replied to your post: You not only spent the time making this beast but also the time thinking about these characters, his power, and its explicit uses for sex to come up with this you absolute fucking nerd
