Okay this isn’t announcing I’ve had a child. My sister did! And as a first time uncle I get to make lots of art and sis was gracious enough to let me share these.

Being given relative carte blanche means I put clothes and accessories on animals and yes the 2 month tiger is my low-key pitch to work on Frosted Flakes.

Happy Monday!

About 15 years ago my little cousin from Estonia was visiting and drew this portrait of Enyo. I haven't kept in touch with him but I still really love this picture.

Don't throw your old art away.

I'm a professional artist. Today while clearing out storage boxes I found this.

I drew this sucker when I was around 3 or 4 years old. I had no idea I still had it. It's like coming across an ancient papyrus. It's 59 years old.

Even when I was 4 I was thinking in terms of illustrating stories. I kinda can figure this thing out.

Santa's coming. His sleigh's being pulled only by Rudolph. Fuck the other reindeer, they're all boring shits.

Brava young me for even trying to draw a sleigh.

Santa has a black mustache but no beard. Maybe he's Italian.

Is that a cross? I was always an atheist, even then, so it probably isn't. Kinda looks like Santa was stabbed.

Looks like the Blue Cat is going to chop down the Christmas tree.

He looks like he's full of evil glee. Oh wow, I rhymed.

I don't know who contributed the two ball-point pen circles and tiny-ass present or house or whatever it is. Wasn't me.

Brown Dog and Pink Rabbit in Christmas hats are running to stop Blue Cat and his Evil Glee.

For some reason back then I was obsessed with green mice. I have no fucking idea.

Don't throw away drawings you did when you were a kid, or ones you think are crap. Someday you'll find them and think, "Man, I was an artist even back then. And look how much I improved!"

This goes for writers as well. Keep all those old stories that make you cringe. Don't destroy them. Years from now you'll peek at them and be proud of young You for even trying.

Ahoy me hearties!

I'm back from my hiatus with a brand-new drawing of me as a pirate

I got no post-hiatus wisdom to share as I barely had any time to "figure things out" or rest really. However! I'd like to think I got my spark back. Seems that I'd lost it, and making art wasn't fun anymore. I've also come to realize that I want to create no matter how badly my drawings flop. And yes, it sucks when your art isn't reaching anyone and it sometimes gets me, but at the end of the day I draw for myself and I think my work is cool enough to share.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk~

In an Artfully Learning post titled Artfully Ancient Learning, I analyzed an early 2022 archeological discovery of pottery fragments from Ptolemaic-era Egypt inscribed with a educational content including mathematical problems, grammar exercises and a variety of sketches and pictographs. The inscriptions are believed to be the work of students. Looking at the drawings in particular, I described how the figuration indicated a developmentally appropriate understanding of the ancient Egyptian canon, and how they correspond with contemporary understandings of artistic development.
