Thanks again and a sweet new year. 💜

Awh! Thank you.

That's one of the things that I really like about your art -- you seem to know exactly when to stop. Your pieces aren't overworked or fussy, they feel straightforward.

I have a hard time stopping on my pieces. I keep working them until I look at them and go "Shit, I should have stopped, like, 8 changes ago." I've been trying to work on that, giving myself "assignments" or guidelines designed to limit my obsessiveness.

For instance, in the painting that I'm working on right now, I'm not allowing myself to use brown or black. That means I can only get a certain level of shadows and depth in the image, so that's one thing that I'm not stressing about.

Revisiting my "Alien Moon" idea because I'm not satisfied with how that image looks as digital. May re-do the whole thing in paint or color pencil.

Sooo... I was gonna do some Valentine’s art to sell, but of course I didn’t get it done in time for anyone to actually order it in time for Valentine’s day.

Your painting “Pretty Bunny/Ugly Hare" has really resonated with me and made me cry. Thank you for creating it. It's beautiful and I love it.

Oh wow, thank you so much. I’m so glad you connected with my work.

charismaticoutcast said: You know, what’s funny about that is that any time I draw my cartoon self, I make sure to include my gapped tooth because I almost feel like it’s a signature of some sort.

Yeah! When I draw my own teeth (and decide to be accurate instead of just drawing them like raggedy shark teeth) I always include that my left incisor has been worn flat because I click my teeth when I'm anxious.

"Sharpen and Blur"

This is one of those pieces that... doesn't really have a deeper meaning behind it. The body is my favorite subject for art, so the way that scar tissue can alter it fascinates me. I realized I'd never done a painting of someone with a facial scar and decided to do one. As the painting progressed, I started thinking of how my great-grandmother described the experience of having cataracts -- she said it was like seeing through layers of veils. So I smeared the hell out of the background and added layers of matte medium over the sections of the image that I wanted to push backwards.

And so that's how this came about.
