My first spray painting ever!
I got mad one day a while ago and had used like a whole toob of paint to just splatter it on this canvas I had lying around. Last week I bought spray paint and this canvas seemed as good as any other. I tried to keep that seething energy in what I painted onto the canvas.
I just enjoy painting portraits so much.

We didn't make that delivery on time, even after renting the best jet we could find after the priority shipping failed.
This was not a cheap overhead to our new dropshipping company.
Maybe the jet was a bad idea...
Let's get a better one next time.

Here's a little sketch I've been working on. I realized I'd never really drawn a babely babe being a babe on a bike. nothin' like drawing nice things to make you feel good.
I might continue this in color.
