    Doodles

    I’ve worn myself to a nub again. One thing about that is that I can recover, given some time to rest. Which I got this last weekend.  So while I’m feeling better, now it’s time to try and catch up on the things that didn’t get done. Which starts the cycle over again.  So, have…

  • Art Peregrinations

    Art Peregrinations

    A bit under the weather today, but MidJourney rolled out V4, so I’ve been playing with it. This is a whole other level of AI art and as much as I have been doing? This is only getting better. So much fun. Honestly I could play with it like a game for hours. The story…

  • N’Inktober Week 4

    N’Inktober Week 4

    I didn’t think it would be a problem to do this month of daily art challenge – I’ve been making art every day continuously for a while now. I am pleased with myself for having taken the time to be more detailed than my usual daily art, at least.  There was a question, about a…

  • N’Inktober: Week 2

    N’Inktober: Week 2

    Not to jinx myself, but while some Octobers have been chaotic wild with the art challenge on top of everything else, this one seems to be allowing me time for creativity at least so far. I’m pretty happy with most of my output. If you’re seeing this before the explanatory post last week, check out…

  • Inktail in Progress

    Inktail in Progress

      My Little Man asked me to work on the next Inktail coloring book. I wasn’t initially sure why, he is far beyond coloring books, even the detailed ‘adult’ ones Junior Mad Scientist still likes. But then I found out what he was up to. We had started to look through a couple of my…

    Happy Accidents

      I had a Bob Ross moment this week. I’d taken a photo with the new camera lens… Let me back up a bit and put this in perspective.  The lens I use with my DSLR the most is my 18-55mm which allows me to get wide-angle but also close-up shots. It’s the workhorse of…

  • Glass Roses

    Glass Roses

      And other sophisticated blooms. I’ve been tinkering with Apophysis blooms again, because I can. That, and I can leave the program up, running a render, and come back to it, make a few tweaks until I find something I like, render that and walk away… It’s much cleaner, this digital art thing, than traditional…

  • Conversational

    Conversational

    I wanted to blog, but I didn’t have a deep serious topic to take on. And I was thinking about blog, and what an odd world it is we live in now. I have conversations with, and am friends with, people from around the world. I pop over and check in regularly with the blogs…

  • Catching a Break

    Catching a Break

    I still haven’t got the hang of videos, so if this doesn’t work, and you actually want to see the time-lapse process video, click here. Today’s art daily prompt was caves. Originally I was thinking bats flying, but then this happened. I’m not entirely happy with it – the space part is cool. The outside…

  • Making Art Happily

    Making Art Happily

    So I’ve been doing daily art challenges since before the first of the year. It’s great! I know that making it to 365 pieces of art is unlikely over the course of the year, but… well, it’s fun. And why not? One of the challenges I’ve been working on is learning how best to use…

  • At The World’s Top

    Where it’s cold and the wind blows the ice crystals into smithereens and only the spruce endure the freezing of every fiber over and over year in and year out… the ice dragons drift through clouds.

  • Space Art

    Space Art

    For a few years now, I’ve worked at creating fun and somewhat-realistic space art through various digital media. It’s not only a means to an end for me, the author, to have unique art for the covers of science fiction books and to sell to cover art clients, but it’s another way to tell stories.…
