Living in DC

I moved from Louisville KY to Maryland/DC last September near the end of the month just in time to celebrate my first day at work and my birthday simultaneously. I'm serving at an award winning IHOP on the Pike, and since as servers we make slightly more I was able to afford better supplies for my room/studio. I'll post pictures when I get the chance. Here are a few I've taken of the walls, i chose to decorate with every piece i was able to bring with me. New places irk me most of the time but like, its familiar now, and I'm really at home in this place.

TeePublic: My Store

Since all future uploads will be digitally either created or manipulated it is MUCH easier to officially start making them into T-shirts for TeePublic, a site best noted for taking art and reselling it as apparel, I learned of it through a very talented artist who also uses it, and so far its been easy and the design looks amazing. There is just the one rn but another elaborate T design will be up as early as Monday morning. LINK TO STORE

Latest piece: New Era






several weeks ago I drafted the above (top) image on photoshop hoping to do more but lost the energy to make art once my new job routine kicked in, but last week after joining a gym I realized I could easily balance my time between work and what I want to do in my free time, so in addition to working out and getting fit like I always wanted my drive to create has returned. I revamped the image and colored it to give an electric neon vibe, i'm a little afraid the background I chose overpowers the image and will probably change it but other than that, i'm really proud of New Era. Like the name implies this piece is somewhat of a turning point in style for me, the skin is not a flat color anymore it has shading and so do other details like the earrings, hair, and lips. gradients are obviously still my go to but I'm going to use texture backgrounds again just as soon as I can find the chord for our scanner.
