Is this mic on? Oh sh--

The Best of Randos, c. 2023 Hi, it’s Jen. It’s been a hot minute. I know. I’m sorry. If you’re reading this, awesome. If it’s your first time, even more awesome. As an artist, I’ve been more active on Instagram, and have tried to dabble in other social media platforms like Twitter. Alas, I have a full-time job (not in art, but this will not be for long!) and just don’t have the time to be dabbling in multiple platforms. Plus, let’s be real: I can only do so much.

Since Instagram is a nice way for me to showcase my sketchbook pages, character designs, and all things my art, I’ve stuck around that venue since it’s a pretty popular platform overall; however, with the big algorithm change they put into place a number of years ago...well, it’s definitely not a chronological feed anymore, which personally I think is just, for lack of better words--lame. Not to mention all the ads, reels, suggested posts--it’s just way too overstimulating. Plus, the constant scrolling...I digress. I’ve decided that moving forward I will be using Tumblr as a blog, just like how I was back in the day on Blogspot (do people still use that?). All the things that I would not be able to write about on Instagram, due to average amount of time spent on a post, will be here. All my thought processes, my journey as an artist, the goal of just doing art on a full-time basis--the whole enchilada. If you’re still reading up to this point, I congratulate you, and I appreciate you. As far as my knowledge is concerned, I don’t think a lot of artists blog much. Long text posts on Instagram I believe don’t count, since Instagram really relies on whatever media is uploaded first before any text is read. I want to keep blogging alive, and personally, I like reading writings from artists. It’s like picking at their brain, you know?

So where have I been in the last x-amount of years? I’ve been living in New Orleans since 2016. It’ll be 7 years for me when the Fall hits.

Welcome and welcome back to my blog. I look forward to telling you more about what’s been up with my artist journey since I left Los Angeles, CA. Do watcha wanna.

Coming Up Next Week: L.A. to LA: The Big Move

Mage Masher | Zidane Tribal - Final Fantasy IX (fanart)

...it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been in here! This was piece of FFIX fanart that I originally sketched probably a year or two ago, but didn’t like the direction of the original inks. While I was organizing my files/folders, I stumbled upon the fanart again and redid the inks, which led me to completing it altogether--on Twitch! Definitely swing by and say hello! https://www.twitch.tv/jenseseart
