It’s been a busy few weeks, but I’ve kept on sketching. For my illustration class I’m creating comic series titled "Rent Is Due". It's a dialogue between two prostitutes in some sort of dated apartment where they'll discuss life. This is heavily inspired by Jeff Jones’ "Idyl" and "I’m Age" comics. I’m continuing to refine my anatomy studies, starting a Europe-inspired oil painting, and reflecting on AI art for a future essay.

A return visit to the Rijksmuseum leaves new impressions: Frans van der Mijn’s imagined Portrait of a Young Woman reflects true understanding over imitation, Jan de Baen’s The Corpses of the DeWitt Brothers exposes humanity’s cruelty, and Annie Roland Holst-de Meester’s haunting self-portrait proves quiet beauty can outshine violence.

Quick creation drop from The Netherlands.

"Exploring comics for George Pratt's class, diving deeper into writing my graphic novel, and reflecting on the tension between creating art for myself versus the pressures of social media."

Progress update on my 'opposite of Son' oil painting, upcoming SmArt School classes, and the early stages of my graphic novel project. Exploring new art ideas, themes, and future plans.

Here we go; everything I worked on over the past Labor Day weekend & vacation. The Black Cat digital drawing is going to be the digital...

Life’s been busy, but I’m grateful my art isn’t burdened by hardship or forced commissions. I’ve been exploring Procreate for color and convenience, while staying rooted in traditional methods. Balancing both, I’m aiming to create more content for my Patreon and beyond.

Sketches, experiments, and my first digital piece are in this mix as I prepare for future NFT projects. I’m learning Procreate while keeping my process rooted in traditional methods!

I’m expanding beyond originals into prints, digital art, NFTs, and even AI collaborations. I’m also planning a curated newsletter, reviving my art Discord, and updating my website and Patreon—all part of building a stronger, more adaptable art business.
