new shirts + stickers/enjoy the process

I’ve always struggled with my approach to art. I made it too rigid with too many parameters until I didn’t want to do anything. Maybe I’m nihilistic, but lately I’ve been approaching art (and life) with no presumptions, boundaries, or expectations. Will other people like it? Maybe, probably a lot won’t, or won’t care. A lot of people will probably think its stupid, or just not get it. I was trying to force art just for the sake of trying to make something other people will like. What a silly thing to do, so I’m just here for vibes. I hope you like it, and if not, meh. That’s cool too. I’m enjoying making art for the sake of enjoying the process.

A slightly sunburned succulent.

I’ve been also been exploring new “canvasses”, making stickers and apparel.

The EERIE, PA design was actually an accident. I was making different versions to see which color I liked the best, and they automatically layered over one another. So I just left it like that.

Smooth brain, no wrinkles!

I was so resistant to digital art, but I have to say it is really conducing to my fleeting inspiration to be able to have a variety of tools available without having to wash any brushes.
