HAVE AT THEE!

I’m working on a new comic for my Patreon/Gleafer (several, actually, so jump on in, the water is fiiiiine) and I’m STOKED about this era!

“A King and His Castle”

Alternate universe that initially starts canon and then swerved sharply off course into a chased-by-demons-in-a-cemetery hellscape and a laudanum fueled demon babbling confessions and curses the whole time.

Weekly updates starting end of the month!

The Key Marco Cat is a 6-inch wooden statuette, created some 500 to 1,500 years ago by Southwest Florida's early Calusa people or their Muspa ancestors. It's considered to be one of the finest pieces of Pre-Columbian Native American art ever discovered in North America

I don't generally post my art on here, but I'm pretty proud of my progress this last month in Procreate. A lot of this is just learning brushes. I've done one Bob Ross painting on real canvas, using the wet-on-wet technique so I'm no painting expert in traditional art, but I've watched Bob most of my life so I thought I could use some of that knowledge in the world of digital art.

My one traditional painting:

Eventually, I will move back to character creation, but I was getting frustrated. Although Procreate is a lot like Photoshop, it is not Photoshop, which made me feel like I was an infant all over again.

Differences Photoshop (with a mouse) versus Procreate (with a pencil):

The goal is to one day do illustrations for the novels, covers, and maybe finally make that comic book I've always wanted to do.

Art Is... (5th House)

A few months ago, I wrote a post that associated famous paintings with each zodiac sign in the 5th house (see post here). After visiting the V&A last weekend, I felt like writing a similar post but this time with famous sculptures that have stood the test of time and remind us that beauty is all around us.

Aries in the 5th House: Winged Victory of Samothrace - Aries is a bold and energetic sign that loves to take action and be in charge. The Winged Victory of Samothrace is an iconic Hellenistic sculpture of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, which depicts her triumphantly standing atop a ship's prow with her wings spread wide. This sculpture's dynamic and powerful energy is a perfect representation of Aries in the 5th house.

Taurus in the 5th House: The Thinker - Taurus is a patient and grounded sign that values stability and contemplation. The Thinker is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin that depicts a seated man deep in thought, with his chin resting on his hand. This sculpture's calm and contemplative energy is a great representation of Taurus in the 5th house.

Gemini in the 5th House: Balloon Dog - Gemini is a playful and lighthearted sign that values humor and entertainment. Jeff Koons' Balloon Dog is a contemporary sculpture made of polished stainless steel that resembles a twisted balloon animal. This sculpture's playful and colorful energy is a perfect representation of Gemini in the 5th house.

Cancer in the 5th House: Pietà - Cancer is a sensitive and nurturing sign that values emotional depth and compassion. The Pietà is a Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo that depicts the Virgin Mary holding the body of Jesus after his crucifixion. This sculpture's tender and compassionate energy is a great representation of Cancer in the 5th house.

Leo in the 5th House: The Discus Thrower - Leo is a confident and creative sign that loves to be in the spotlight. The Discus Thrower is a classic Greek sculpture that depicts an athlete winding up to throw a discus, with his body in a dynamic and powerful pose. This sculpture's athletic and confident energy is a perfect representation of Leo in the 5th house.

Virgo in the 5th House: David - Virgo is a practical and analytical sign that values precision and detail. David is a Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo that depicts the biblical hero David standing in a precise and anatomically correct pose, with every muscle and vein expertly rendered. This sculpture's precise and detailed energy is a great representation of Virgo in the 5th house.

Libra in the 5th House: Venus de Milo - Libra is a harmonious and aesthetic sign that values beauty and balance. The Venus de Milo is a classic Greek sculpture of the goddess Aphrodite (Venus), which depicts her in a graceful and balanced pose, with her arms missing. This sculpture's graceful and balanced energy is a perfect representation of Libra in the 5th house.

Scorpio in the 5th House: Laocoön and His Sons - Scorpio is an intense and passionate sign that is drawn to the darker side of life. Laocoön and His Sons is a classical sculpture from ancient Greece that depicts a Trojan priest and his two sons being attacked by sea serpents, which represents the punishment of the gods. This sculpture's intense and dramatic energy is a great representation of Scorpio in the 5th house.

Sagittarius in the 5th House: The Fountain of Four Rivers - Sagittarius is an adventurous and free-spirited sign that loves to explore new horizons. The Fountain of Four Rivers is a Baroque masterpiece by Gian Lorenzo Bernini located in the Piazza Navona in Rome. It depicts four river gods representing the four great rivers of the world, each one holding symbolic objects related to their respective river. This sculpture's grandiose and expansive energy is a perfect representation of Sagittarius in the 5th house, as it reflects the sign's love for exploration and worldly experiences.

Capricorn in the 5th House: Moses - Capricorn is a disciplined and ambitious sign that values hard work and achievement. Moses is a Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo that depicts the biblical figure with horns, holding the tablets of the Ten Commandments, and with his beard flowing. This sculpture's solemn and disciplined energy is a great representation of Capricorn in the 5th house.

Aquarius in the 5th House: The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa - Aquarius is a progressive and unconventional sign that values individuality and intellectual pursuits. The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is a Baroque sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini that depicts the Catholic saint in a mystical trance, with an angel piercing her heart with a golden arrow. This sculpture's surreal and visionary energy is a perfect representation of Aquarius in the 5th house.

Pisces in the 5th House: The Kiss - Pisces is a dreamy and romantic sign that values emotional connection and compassion. The Kiss is an Art Nouveau sculpture by Auguste Rodin that depicts a couple in a passionate embrace, with their bodies entwined. This sculpture's tender and intimate energy is a great representation of Pisces in the 5th house, as this placement is associated with artistic creativity and the desire for deep emotional connections.

Stay tune for more astro posts…

xoxo J.

Hello. I love all your drawinhs and comics. I was just curious how long you have been drawing already?

I used to do black and white pencil and coal drawings......22 years ago.😅

Best regards.😄

Helloo! I’ve been drawing since I was a kindergartner and have been a professional illustrator for a good 25+ years. So a very…very very…oh so very… long time.

And I hope I skid into my coffin with pencils in my hand and a trail of sketches behind me!
