I love you all, & I thank you for being here. But the feedback & engagement both here & on Patreon are pretty minimal & it started to feel like I was talking to an empty room. Add that to burnout, overwhelm & depression, plus the fact that yes, we are still homeless… it's just been a struggle. I don't think I even picked up my iPad during the whole month of March.
Because homelessness & burnout are still my realities, I've decided to restructure things a bit. I plan to resume regular posting in June, with whatever content & Patron reward structure I can come up with & put in place by then. my public Patreon content will be mirrored here.
I would love to have feedback. What do you want to see? The drawing prompts have gone nowhere. I will continue to post sketchbook photos & behind the scenes content for Patrons & subscribers. I’m on Instagram & Bluesky, and I’d love to hear back from you, either here or there.
I've also been working on some physical paintings lately. One of my short-term goals is to start showing my work locally, & to do that I have to have some work to show. Working with paints & paper heals something way down in my soul, & I wish it was something I could do every day.
Anyway, here’s some of what I’ve been working on…

Étude: Color Study
I did the thing where you swirl your color palette all around, then set your device’s color filter to greyscale and paint by value alone. The rhino is from somebody’s front yard, I drove by it one day & stopped to take a picture.
I kinda want to make a card out of it & leave it at that house.
I also kinda want to try it again with different colors.
