If you're at Anthrocon, my Blue Dreamcat mask I painted as part of an @ericstrother.bsky.social collab is at his table in the Dealer's Den, table M05! I expect it will find a new home pretty quickly so check it out while you can 💙
EXCITE!! For our first con we've flown to, I'd say we did a pretty alright job at setting up our table. We're T21, the back corner near the mature section.
Golden Lilac Coyote Mask, another fresh new collab with @ericstrother.bsky.social! I love how this one came out, somehow both gentle and striking.
I didn't get in to Anthrocon so I won't be there, but Eric will! Check out this and our 3 other collab masks at table M05 in the Dealer's Den! 💜

Heads up if you use a PC with Windows 11: recent updates have put "Copilot" on your computer! This is Microsoft's new AI and it is integral to your OS; you CANNOT delete it!
BUT! You can -disable- it. And since it spies on you, odds are you'll want to it!
They don't make it easy, though.
There’s a real underlying reason a lot of your favorite artists are returning, even to dip, to traditional media. I think we’re dying to tap back in with why we do what we do and that’s a good place to remember. The joy of touching, practice, learning, taking a LOT of time, having time to ask why
I want more people to consider what art means to them without the pressure to impress. How does your hand like to mark a curve? Where does it apply pressure and where does it release? What sorts of shapes are you drawn to? Do you hold your breath when you draw a delicate straight line?
Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
His last piece of art, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.
New public patreon post for the first time in a while! Some of what's on my mind in my personal life, and the themes I want to bring forward in my artwork and writing this year:

Starting a Telegram channel for art updates, to make it easier to keep tabs on my new work!

This also makes it a little easier for me to share more about the meaning behind my art, WIP updates, etc.
Update on this situation.
Apparently, Mark is NOT doing well and is being transitioned into end-of-life care.
Which, as you know, can be VERY costly. So any help is more important now than ever.
Please, if you can, help out @sysable.confurence.com! He suffered a stroke recently and is having a tough recovery. Anything you can contribute will be a great help to this absolute legend!
