Today we've got the reveal of a 12x18 print of "Tongue Tied"
This was another test print and I think it came out pretty good. The colors match pretty well and the smaller size looks nice.

I'm planning on doing a giveaway soon for one of these so lemme know in the comments what you think of the edges

Here's how a typical morning goes on a non gym day. Lots to do in order to get in some art time before work cus its 50/50 on if I'll have the energy after work.
Turns out that taking care of the pets definitely ends up being the majority of my morning. Would not change that though! Keeps me active and up early.

What's your morning routine?

So I've been working on a new canvas and I'm starting to think it's not going to work out how I envisioned it. So now I'm trying to decide if I should come back later and rework it again or start over and change the concept.

What do you do when a project isn't working out? Lemme know in the comments.

Forgot to get a good picture before I shipped it off, but here was submission to the 4x4 show.
It was fun to work on this little piece.
0 plan going in just had fun with it.
I did manage to get a scan of it, so I might make some stickers out of it.

It started off great, bu this failed horribly! I'll post the rest of the video tomorrow.

Check out my super non-ergonomic set up! And if I'm not sitting on the floor, I'm probably hunched over like a Goblin inches away from the paper.
Probably explains the back pain.
All jokes aside, I should probably invest in a better setup at some point.

How do you all avoid the back pain when drawing, painting, gaming, whatever?

Sharing my final finished canvas of 2025. This was a commission for a Christmas present. I had some scaling issues when I first started and he ended up being way too big for the canvas. THEN I had issues with the perler beads curling and lifting off the canvas so I had to break out the heat gun and reglue everything.
But in the end, it came out pretty good and just in time for Christmas.

If you want a commission for yourself or someone you know, head over to the commission request form and let's make it happen!

I sat down yesterday to go over 2025 goals and start setting goals for 2026 and I was thinking about all of the things I didn't accomplish in 2025. So I started to look back and realized how much I did do last year.

✅️Got into my first juried show and won the people's choice award
✅️Went to Disneyland and got to meet some of my favorite artists
✅️Went to the beach and surfed for the first time in years
✅️Went to Texas to visit family and had a blast sightseeing
✅️Took Kirby and Bridget to their first EDC
✅️Got to see Galantis with my siblings
✅️Set up the new office/art room
✅️Learned how to solder and plaster with my newest Gundam Model kit for a competition
✅️Met Chris McDonald aka Shooter Mcgavin
✅️Taught a class of middle school students how to spraypaint

And that's just to name a few. But even with all the good, there's always bad. We had some losses this year with family and friends, some pet emergencies, and some hard times. But I guess you can't always have the good without the bad.
So here's to 2025 and starting 2026 strong.

Happy New Year to you all and let's see what 2026 has in store for all of us.

Let me know how your year was and are you ready for 2026?
