Hi, all! This week we’ve got some more heels and shrooms for y’all. ‘Tis the theme lately, I suppose. Mushrooms really are super cool – have any of you seen that documentary Fantastic Fungi on Netflix? It’s amazing.
Some of the illustrations I posted are sort of whatever, but I’m trying to just be humble and post whatever I’m working on because it’s not all great. I’ve said it before, but like… I just try to draw every day. Sometimes the pieces end up really cool in my opinion, and sometimes they look like shit. That’s okay. The idea for me is to just practice, practice, practice. And I’ve come a long way, I think.
I have quite a few favorites from this week. “Oh, my God, Becky,” “Get to the Gala,” and “Amanda Palmer.” Honorary mention for “It’s the Thing That You Do” because that one feels pretty cool, too. I wanted to mention for the “Amanda Palmer” piece that I submitted it to Amanda Palmer’s website and it actually got featured on her monthly Patreon post which is pretty cool. Amanda Palmer is my favorite musician – I’ve followed her since The Dresden Dolls and she is like… my hero. If you haven’t heard her music, definitely check it out!
I also want to try to experiment with more portraits. I’ve been focusing on BODIES for so long, but not zeroing in on faces really. In fact, I like the faceless-ness to my pieces a lot of the time. That said, I was thinking it would be a cool thing to try and make a bunch of portraits of my friends and family in December and give them as holiday gifts.
What are your favorites from the week? Let me know! Contact me on Instagram or message me here. Check out last week’s post as well.
