Artist from the mysterious and far away land of Latvia. Mostly drawing for Magic: The Gathering these days. Big on shinies and coffee.

Bajadasaur in caliche forest. A4. Piece for the upcoming artbook. This started out as Amargasaurus on a saltflat, but researching saltflats, I stumbled across caliche forests and thought they looked really cool. And looking at sail-necked sauropods, I remembered Bajadasaurus. Original available.

Experimenting HARD with new art stuff, I think after I started to approach inking as pencil drawing I started to improve so much ^_^

A rhino painted with leftover palette colors. #oilpainting #art

Tried to sign some cards tonight, but there were adorable technical difficulties. Better luck next time!

Now that the weather has graciously simmered down, it's back to drawing! Here are some of my latest artist proof sketches. One of them comes with bonus deep Latvian lore! #art #traditionalart #mtg

Painted a mountainscape with a rather electrifying view! Also how did the cat get up there?

It's been far too hot to think, so for a weekend project I dug out some sutage cord that's probably about as old as I am, found a fallen branch and macraméed an earring storage solution. For such a simple thing it's really handy, can recommend!

Okay so to be clear we are destroying power grids, the livelihoods of actual humans beings, and communication/research infrastructure for the sake of an algorithm that converts stolen data into unreliable stolen data and consistently loses millions of dollars. Just to be clear

A super cool sighting from last night - noctilucent clouds. They had a slight glow to them, catching the rays of the sun hiding just below the horizon. With a sky like this, it's like we're living in a giant fishbowl!

A little late for the summer solstice, but life is very hectic right now^^ An older piece I still have a big soft spot for hypericum perforatum - (St. John's wort) also known as the "solstice herb" since it blooms around the time of the summer solstice.

Went to grab a cup of coffee, came back a minute later to my cat Completely Asleep™ in my spot. So I made a sign, moved it around a bunch. He finally lifted his head when I was trying to balance it on his ear. Cats.

Freshly spoiled! Planar Genesis for Modern Horizons 3 AD: Ovidio Cartagena The brief said it's a card that can create lands of any kind, so I got to come up with some sort of surreal mythical depiction of that idea.
