This picture says it all! Practice is isnt even hard when you think of it as expression. And the opposite of depression isnt happiness, its expression. Im exhausted, but I will never stop being angry.
Completed the next stages on creating an art project for my office. I finished painting the frame, added a hanging cable, and put fabric over the cork.
The fabric was hand stapled in place using pliers, a deburrer for my 3D printer, and an old PCB. Took 2 hours to do the stapling.
Make a work of art without lifting a brush.It takes courage to say no.
Still working. In progress. Inks, watercolor on Yupo synthetic paper. I love this paper. It feels so good to spray water, drip paint, watch it all run together. It's so soothing.
Working... In progress
Picked these up recently as part of a drive to do more offline analogue art such as zines.Today is a day to make something.
Watercolor I recently completed inspired by a FB photograph. Unfortunately I dont know who the photographer was. Beautiful sunset over the Dakota mill in Mankato, MN
I don't know what to do except make art and be with people i love. Anything else feels like it will just bring out the hatred and anger i feel towards the US situation at the moment. I refuse to let hatred win, so art it is. Here's a (mostly) sketch of this beautiful day in Nice, France last fall. Done in Autodesk sketchbook with felt tip pen and watercolour brush.Im making this paper heart. Writing what I love and what had broken my heart on paper that I then twist together to make cordage and then weave into a 3D anatomical heart.
Laying out my 3D glass labyrinth. It's kind of like a game of how steady can I keep my hands so the pieces don't tumble like dominoes.
You have permission to use those supplies you bought but still haven't opened up because you're afraid your art won't be good enough. You are worthy of the joy the creative process brings.
Every needs a cat. When Xmas walks across the piano, she makes up new chord combinations.
Took some time to play. I started by tracing my Star Eater design into paper, then immediately ruining it by throwing inks all over it. It makes for a different creative space, one where youre no longer afraid to ruin a good drawing with experimentation. Which made this way more fun.
Only problem was I had such a trouble getting the silver leaf to stick! Please send advice.
I adore the gaggles of ghosts we made the last few weeks at the studio! Theyre so wonderful.
Two of these were private paint parties. Thats right, you can book your choice of painting for your company party or just fun time with friends.

Hey! I'm Onyx, nice to meet you
I'm just a lil guy trying to live from my passion and who LOVES axolotl (that's probably why you will see them everywhere).
I make a lot of traditional art with Chinese ink, and some digital things with colors, sometimes.

Artist, writer, creative - your value as an artist comes from one simple truth: you are human, and humans make art.
What do you do on a day when you're 86 kinds of tired
Just a little.
A little bit counts.
The only way out is through. That includes your art.
You CANNOT fail at art. Here's why.
Impulsively made a new design to try with my glow-in-the-dark holofoil, (and maybe metallics, too), for tote bags and maybe t shirts. Might make some small edits of line width and such, depending how cutting goes.
But what do you think Wanna see this happen
Let me know if I should hustle to get these made for conventions this month and next!
This is an old daydream I'm breathing new life into. I have a one-shot comic laid out. Thinking. This is me kicking the dust off...can't let AI have all of the fun.
some verse
Now we got climate disasters back-paged
Like school shooting rampages
And killer cops on paid administrative leaves
Nonstop wages for the bullying classes
While we concede our beliefs
To billionaire thieves
Digging nonstop graves
Trying to get more paid
While were all crying
to get more faith
Without dying
Earthly horrors
now merely backdrop
For more catastrophic collapses
Weve lapsed and
Fearful now
Tripping up on what happens now
Mistigram: the #oldschoolASCII logo by axbmusic in front of the paintbrushes reads Make Art Not War. Theres already too much war in the world, never enough art. You dont always have a choice, but until war becomes inevitable, always prioritize art. This #ASCIIart piece was included in the new unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.

On a bit of a roll at the moment so may as well keep going while it's happening

Barney who now runs Kick Arts used to run a venue, and did the most fun weekly YouTube( I think, pre tiktok anyway) weekly updates. I met him once and he was a fun, passionate person. Then he stopped running the venue and became more promoter/ consultant: it's a fun t-shirt if you want something different ( are you an old ) ( Over use of word there)
