Open Sorcery

Category: Sender unknown (but apparently I can paint)

  • Here are some pieces I’ve made in the past couple of days.

    I’ve begun experimenting with bolder colors and less strict realism. I’m very happy with the way these pieces turned out.

    I’m calling this first piece The Lighthouse. I don’t exactly know what to make of it, I was running with an idea I had and I thought it looked cool.

    Here’s a video of how I made it.

    This next painting is called Silvertongue. The lines on the tongue came to me as I was falling asleep.

    Here’s a video of the process for this one.

    And this one was heavily inspired by Flower Face’s The Shark In Your Water album. I’m developing an obsession with silver foily glitter.

    I hope y’all enjoyed these pieces.

  • I wanted to do more today, but showering and being out in the sun yesterday took me out.

    I did revive Eight’s and Laz’s Death bit on Reels and TikTok though and watch more of the very interesting show The Three Body Problem.

  • Allēna is gonna have a fuckin aneurysm when she gets back to front.

    Not only have I painted her and Emerson a variation of Judith Beheading Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi as a Valentine’s Day gift, but I DMed Electrical Audio, the studio where her and Eight’s tragic hero, Jason Molina, recorded their album Magnolia Electric Co before the late, great Steve Albini passed away, as well and asked if they wanted to work with us to promote the studio in some way.

    She’s gonna be in for SEVERAL treats 😈

  • Had a decently productive day today.

    I painted this baby today, he is a juvenile rescue red tailed hawk I saw on our Facebook that people were going nuts over. His name is Chuck:

    I also finished the painting I started last night of our headmate Australis:

    Yeah, I know he looks like Hozier. Don’t @ me, he’s supposed to look like Hozier, I used a photo of Hozier as a reference among other things because that’s who Australis most closely resembles, lol.

    Emerson and I also went to the Milwaukee art museum and saw a bunch of cool shit, like a massive painting that looked like it had busted free and was dancing around half the room called Carousel Merge II.

    There was another piece that made me feel judged but I can’t remember exactly what it was called, something something Anxious Audience, and it was made with ceramic tiles and soap of all things.

    Cool shit, indeed.

    I saw this ad on Facebook for a midsummer festival up in Sheboygan and threw our hat in the ring to go play there, as well. So we’ll see how that goes…

    Well, I’m gonna attempt sleep now. I’m fuckin beat. I did way too fucking much today.

    Goodnight fuckers.
