I put them on other social media, so why not here? Some sketches from work meetings. I refuse to apologize for using lined paper. If it's what you have when you want to draw, then draw, dammit!

“Usually a skull, for whatever reason”

It’s called a memento mori, which is Latin for “remember that you will die”. Skulls like this appear in art as a reminder of mortality and the transience of existence.

The fact Holbein’s is designed to jump out at you if you’re passing this painting on a staircase strikes me as a particularly loud reminder to the very wealthy patrons who commissioned the painting to not get too big for their britches, essentially.

My art peeps @pickyveg and @bluecanarykit may know/remember more.

where is that renaissance painting with those two fellers and a giant fucking random skull on the floor that looks like it was accidentally stretched out in photoshop

ARTIST ALLEY Reminder:

This weekend, Oct. 20-21 it's Memphis Comic Expo at Agricenter International in Memphis, TN. Come say hi to me and Kevin Hayman of Everywhen Comics (The Errant Apprentice, Mailbox Rocketship, Kota's World).

This con is creator friendly and you will find tons of comic artists, from small and just starting out, to some big names work with DC and Marvel. I always enjoy this show! There are cool guests and awesome cosplay, too.

If your up around the Tennessee & Arkansas Mississippi River Delta, moseying through the Mid-South, or hanging out in Olive Branch, Hernando, or Southaven, MS–come on out to the con!

[bluecanarykit]

Want to buy my art? Con schedule:

Includes local artist markets!

Want to see me and buy some art or get a commission? Here's where you can catch me for the rest of 2018:

🎨 artwork on display at Cups in the Quarter • all through August 2018. Pieces on display are for sale, unless marked NFS.

✏️The Market at The District of Eastover: every 2nd Saturday of the month, in Jackson, MS. Watch my Instagram or FB page to confirm dates.

🖌️ Gulf Coast Fan Fest 2018 • Saturday Oct. 13 & Sunday, Oct. 14, MS Coast Coliseum and Convention Center in Biloxi, MS (with the talented Kevin Hayman of Everywhen Comics)

✏️ Memphis Comic Expo • October 20-21, Agricenter International (also with Kevin Hayman)

🖌️ *Olde Towne Market in Clinton, MS • Nov. 10: TBD

-------------

*please note some dates may change. I will miss the October Market due to previously scheduled cons. As always, I will have original sketchcards, prints and be taking commissions at cons. If you love my cartoony work, never fear for I still do it! I never like to limit myself to just one style, so expect variety.

Commissions currently will be taken at cons or art markets only, due to ye ol' day job taking up quite a bit of my schedule. To ensure you get your order in a timely fashion, I find making commissions same day at a market or con to be the best way at the moment.

Yes, I will draw you, your kid, your pet, your D&D character, your OTP, or your OC for money. 😉😁

FYI: I do reserve the right to decline a commission if I'm uncomfortable with the subject matter, (ex. super-acurate & to-scale architectural renderings or porn/hentai.) Extra characters, extra detailed and fiddley costumes &/or backgrounds will cost extra, due to needing more time to complete. Thanks for understanding!

More catching up on Inktober prompts...

[bluecanarykit]

Catching up on Inktober prompts for the #MMAInktoberChallenge. No. 5 is "state symbols." I knew about the honeybee, but DYK that MS's official state toy is the teddy bear?

Tombow fudenosuke brush pens in grey and yellow with black fine point rollerball.

Still making art, still drawing. Been on a mixed media/collage/altered art kick and having so much fun. Also getting more things ready for local all art markets while my art show at Cups at the Quarter winds down: smaller artworks, robots doing mundane things, OATC, and blank journals with altered covers.

Going through old sketchbooks and notebooks, finding abandoned sketches and doodles to finish or repurpose into the mixed media work has been rewarding. Finally a use for something just sitting around, that I hadn't liked before but now do. 💙🎨

[bluecanarykit]

More completed sketchcards ready for Memphis Comic Expo, tomorrow and Sunday (Sept. 16-17, 2017) at the Agricenter. I'm sharing an Artists Alley table with Kevin Hayman (mailbox rocketship, errant apprentice, Kota's world,) so come me out and see us!
