little WIP of a painting I started while on vacation the lighting in here is horrid though and all the color shifting paints aren't showing because of it. I always get nervous doing watercolors though so I tend to document my progress a lot more frequently #watercolorpainting #art #watercolor #painting #creature December 27, 2023 at 12:14AM via Instagram https://instagr.am/reel/C1WCFQuMq87/

I love this flag so much too!  But I also love the progress pride flag so I always have a batch of these babies that I made to take with me to shows and events!  I call them the Past-Present Pride Flag!  

(Also does tumblr desktop really not allow you to add alt text to a photo upload?  wtf)

Anyway, if you’re interested: https://splitgillstudio.square.site/product/pastpresentpride/56 

Rainbow flag colorpicked from the original 1978 flag <3

I had an absolute blast last night at @triangleartworks @smashthearts event and met so many amazing people! A lot of people loved the little badge I whipped up and asked where I got it - so I might add these as an option to my shop (but if you're local, DM me and we can work something out!) . . #shopsmall #localartist #triangleart #trianglenc #triangleartworks #smashthearts #badge #artistbadge #artist #art #toolsforartists https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFJaX2OCUn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

10 DAYS LATER 😅 Well technically I did pull a few proofs earlier this month but my wrist died and so I said to hell with it and got myself one of those school etching presses from @jerrysartarama so I could get more consistent prints, especially since this will be a lino reduction. Still messing around with the @akuainks intaglio consistency but we're getting there! I do have to say, it's a shame that there isn't just a little more grip on these basic presses. They're surprisingly decent for their price and literally just slapping some grippy tape on the underside of the plate made a world of difference. Now to get the top to stop slipping about - I suspect I'll need to make runners for that. . . #printmaking #printmaker #blockprint #blockprinting #linocut #linoprint #printproof #yearoftherabbit #goldink #rabbit #wip #reductioncut #reductionprint #etchingpress #akuaink #art #artist #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-VucavPhb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Working on one of those meet the artist things in between murdering my wrist hand-printing linocuts so here's a little mini preview I threw together for my Facebook profile pic. Combined my two fave animals (axolotl and red panda) for a fun little persona of myself! . . #meettheartist #tea #tealover #axolotl #redpanda #character #drawing #digitalart #digitalartist #procreate #cuteart #chibi #selfportrait #art #artist #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0c_aLjKSj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yellow block done! I'll be pulling a test print tomorrow to see what needs adjusted and then starting the first round of prints. Haven't decided how many I'm doing yet but I'd better decide soon since reduction prints mean no second edition 😱 . #printmaking #printmaker #linoleumprint #linocut #linoprint #yearoftherabbit #rabbit #bunny #art #artist #carving #wip #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CninViOD0nI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New self portrait just dropped. 🙃 (Side note, how is it not illegal to not inform patients that their medication is out of stock at the pharmacy when an order is put in? I'm okay but it was an incredibly frustrating situation.) . #art #artist #selfportrait #axolotl #wiggly #doodle #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CnTdkVBsTyo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hanging out at @glow_raleigh for First Friday, listening to amazing performances and chatting with stellar artists and customers! planning out some ideas for my year of the rabbit design and can't wait to start carving again. Trying to decide between reduction print or multiple blocks. . . #FirstFriday #RaleighArts #RaleighNC #raleighevents #yearoftherabbit #newyear #camelliasinensis #drawing #printmaking #fountainpenink #fountainpencollector #fountainpens #bunny #rabbit #art #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGEjjLN2S2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I always love the mid-carve test print to figure out what still needs done! I'm using up scrap speedy carve but ahaha I wish I had gone larger 🥲 . #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #rabbit #bunny #yearoftherabbit #art #artistoninstagram #wip #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CnBNCYTD9HM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
