Fishing for Follows
I don't really like Instagram.
It does a bad job of displaying photos as an artist intends. So artists have to adapt their photos to conform to how Instagram works. Any photography that involves high resolution detail get shrunk down and compressed and usually seen on a tiny screen. But if you do want to see it on a proper screen, the desktop version of the site still shrinks your work and dedicates half the page to comments. Put the comments underneath! They want you to use their crops and their shitty filters. And for some reason, everyone uses reels now instead of just a regular post. Timers make me anxious! I don't like the pressure of having to consume the content in the time alotted. Sometimes my brain works slow and I just want to process what I'm seeing. And then if I want to come back and see that thing again, IT'S GONE! Why do you all like self-destruction so much?
Oh and there is no real community sharing infrastructure so if you want to build any kind of following it's like twice as hard.
Instagram kinda sucks, is what I'm saying.
But I am trying to be a legit photographer again and Instagram is where all of the photographers seem to end up.
And if I want to get clients at some point I will be asked, "what's your Insta?" from people wanting to vet my work and see if I have chops.
So I am trying to curate a collection of my best work.
Due to being a full time caregiver for both of my parents, I had to quit photography for a few years. Most of my work was captured before 2017, but it is all edited in 2024. So, I was not nearly as good at lighting, but I can mostly make up for that with my much more advanced editing skills.
Like, I took this photo of a shoe with a full studio setup and fancy lights.
Cut to present day, my studio is now a storage room, my fancy lights are gone, and all I have is a tiny front room and two inexpensive video lights.
I feel like I did more with less.
I spent these past 6 years studying the blade.
My brain is filled with so much knowledge.
And once I rebuild my studio, I'm going to photograph some cool shit.
And so... if you don't mind...
Would you please follow me on Insta?
Do I really have to say it like that?
Can I just say Instagram? Embrace my age a little?

The Green Dragon plush has been given an extension and is up for rescue for 7 more days! :D
How come I have never drawn a proper dragon battle before? Hopefully this counts. Thank you all for treasuring this little green fellow so far, I love seeing you all relate to that tiny, ferocious, prideful dragon!
This was a super challenging comic to make, I had to reference so many images of cats fighting that my curated Pinterest board is now just that. I hope you enjoy!

One really cool perk of joining Cyan is that I get to capture all of the promotional shots for the new Riven.
Can't wait for y'all to play this sucker. 📚

Surpriiiise ! Biscotte, the muscular tiger fan of music is here!
He might not be as bouncy as the foxes or pigeons but his pecs sure can bounce as much!
This is the first time ever a merch of my characters exists, many asked me in the past but I never had the courage nor the time to do it, so to this day, I am happy to show you what Makeship could make possible ❤️ Biscotte is now real!
The campaign last 21 days (will ends the 29th) afterward it will never ever be possible to order a plush of him anymore so, if you are interested, go for it while it's still possible!
