hello! โจ
There's a certain dustiness to November, like an old wooden box creaking open at the latch, that intrigues my curiosity. I love the muted colors that cover the landscape during this colder month, inviting a state of inward reflection and quiet.

finally got around to scanning some sketches from a few months ago I did on big leftover envelopes (hand for reference in second photo)! I've had the first piece hanging above my computer as a reminder to stay loose and playful with my art. this is when I first started getting into drawing with pencil and challenging myself to draw at larger scale. it's fun to see how my techniques and style have evolved s...

scuttles around with paints and laughs to self
painting and experimenting with different mediums continues to be a lot of fun~ I've been making efforts to paint more regularly and casually, to pavlov myself into associating painting with making art in a chill and fun way. it's been rewarding to learn new mediums and observe how they speak to one another on the page and across forms. it's something I had put off for a long time, because I was intimidated by the learning curves. ...

it's funny, the longer I make art the more I find myself gravitating toward looseness in expression and simplicity of form. when I look back on a lot of my old art, I can tell how tightly I was approaching my lines and shapes, trying so hard to eke out every last bit of detail in an attempt for control. over the art I was making? over my life? the lines are blurred in a way I tried to scrub out in art.
so perhaps the looseness is a sort of letting go, of reconciling with the enigma and...

painting continues to activate excitement in my brain, so I've dedicated myself to learn more about it. I want to make painting into a regular part of my art practice and what helps with that is finding ways to make the process of painting more accessible for myself. I used to get really tripped up by the setup, tear down, and various supplies involved and it's been nice to do it more and develop an approach that makes sense to me and how I like to work. I'll share more in another post about ...

September rewards got dropped off yesterday and they look amazing! also, the rumors are true for I am once again playing around with label paper and making stickers with my printer. I thought it'd be fun to draw a lil spooky kitty for October and will include a freebie sticker in all September mail envelopes! my thirst for making stickers is seemingly unquenchable, it's just so much fun. ^^

hello! โจ
I'm so excited that it's October, because it's the perfect time to dive into my love for making witchy and spooky art. I've been experimenting with ways to incorporate texture into my digital art to help roughen up the canvas and cut back on polish, which I think is fitting for the autumnal season as nature dies back and new textures emerge in the landscape.

the aforementioned pencil, the matte black Blackwing. I honestly don't think it's much different from any other solid quality 3B pencil, but I'm enjoying these while I have them. :] I've historically used mechanical pencils with 0.5 HB lead, a habit leftover from all my years of notetaking and homework in school. HB lead is great for projects that require regular erasing (aka the ran t...

I'm soooo excited for the new Silent Hill game that's coming out in checks 6 days!!! I used to pray for times like these. I'm a huge fan of SH2 and SH3 and seeing the devs recent return to form has been wonderful. I really enjoyed SH2 remake and I love that we're getting a female protag for f. can't wait to see what sorts of horrible forms Hinako's suppressed psyche takes! ^_^ yippee yayyyyy! ๐๐๐๐

sometimes you just need to sit down and draw a couple of your fav characters, you know how it is, something to take the edge off. excited to get back into digital drawing again since I've been working so much with traditional lately (currently updating to the newest version of Procreate that just dropped today cos I wanna test those new brushes!!).

check out what came in from the printers last week. :'D I'm so happy with how these turned out, there's just something about a holo finish on a sticker, never gets old.
I'll get started on packing these this week and aim to have everything sent out by the week after that! I'll also make another post once everything gets shipped out. thanks again for your support last month, I'm excited to get these rewards to your mailbox!

I've been really dedicated to and interested in traditional art supplies lately. when I use them, I feel like I'm able to let go and draw more loosely, be less concerned about the outcome and live in the process and experimentation more. I'm always comparing it to digital art, because it's what I know most intimately, but the limitlessness of digital sometimes feels like a hindrance ironically. so much time and brain space is spent on decision-making, because in a world of endless capability ...

I thought it'd be fun to try mixing traditional and digital art techniques this month and went ahead with all sorts of experimenting. I've also been loving jewel tones lately and wanted to find ways I could incorporate those colors in a way that was congruent with my style. both of these pieces ended up having a cozy storybook feel, which I'm really delighted about.

pov ur my gouache paints when I open you up again
I'm always finding my way back to gouache. the process of mixing the paints and layering the colors feels so intuitive and enjoyable and my recent major upgrade in my paint water filtering setup (aka I bought a funnel) has made it so much easier for me to cleanup and get back to painting the next day. like 2025-08-29 20:18:59 +0000 UTC

there's a giant blank wall in my living room that I've long puzzled over how to design. large art can cost a small fortune, so I took matters into my own hands and decided to make my own art. I bought the largest canvas the art store had to offer (3' x 4') and dove in. this was my first time making art this big (something I've been doing more of lately) and it was both exhilarating and puzzling. I l...

something peculiar has started happening now that I'm going on daily walks. wherever I go, my mind sees shapes. I've walked in this park countless times, yet the landscape has been made anew with whatever has decided to grant me this mode of attention. out of the literal woodwork, shapes and textures are jumping at me, waving their hands in my face, beckoning me to look closer. I'm more than happy to oblige, because it fascinates me that so many little artworks naturally exist in the space ar...

life post-injury has facilitated a major shift in my lifestyle including the way I make art. gone are the days of shrimping and sitting for hours at a time. regularly timed breaks for standing and movement are now baked into my work days and I found myself still wanting to make art while standing. my long-abandoned easel has gained a new lease on life alongside me and I've been making more traditional art as a result. what started as a random experiment turned into a miniseries of 3 full ink ...

these are some recent sketches and explorations from my sketchbook. I've been using pen a lot lately to draw, it helps me practice line confidence and keeps me thinking forward. drew a line I didn't mean to? that's okay, it's already on the page so let's find a way to make it work instead of agonizing over a misplaced mark. I've found that it encourages me to think on my toes and engage more with creative problem solving. maybe it didn't go as planned, but what is a plan besides...

I have a tendency to get overly invested in details throughout the process and it's something I noticed is unique to my digital workflow. it results in work that feels really tense and tight and I don't! like it!! my traditional art feels a lot more loose and free and I'm curious about how I can bring that into ...
