Make a work of art without lifting a brush.

The only way out is through. That includes your art.

Make a work of art without lifting a brush.

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)

today.




Working through a bit of a backlog! Day 5, "Map"

Playing catch-up from yesterday! Day 4, "Dodge"

Day 3, "Path"
I'm not super happy with the shading but I was trying to get it done quickly before bedtime.

I like orb weavers. They are, to me, the friendliest and most magical of spiders.

Giving this challenge another try.

Dream big.

This is based on the elk horn from my mother-in-law's garden after she passed away. It's flourishing at our place.
