Squid-Core (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This was quite the process, but it was fun and rewarding to me. Even starting to make ACEOs a different way by making a couple at a time. Very convenient. Made a couple of random ones too, still working on Doug Dimmadome. Just like with the Kermit and Garfield themes, Squidward was just one of those fun ones, you know. Simple enough to come up with a fusion of some sort. All these available and listed on my eBay shop! https://ebay.io/m/6VAHCc<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="htt

This morning I just been diagnosed with moderate ADHD, overlapping with my autism. Which explains a lot, I’ve always had a chaotic yet creative mind since I was a kid. I think this doodle subconsciously bled out on this piece of paper, a refle

Read excerpt
This set was created while taking figure drawing classes in college. That class helped dive in to a whole new level of art and helped sculpt my style. It makes me want to find more local figure drawing events, because it improved so much of my skill and I would love to dive more into it. The ACEO gigs have been going great, but I don’t know. Sometimes my brain craves doing something different in between stuff. Thanks for reading! Subscribe to the Distorted Journal for more behind the sc
